We've got better as half has gone on. Coutinho and Clyne are doing well. Same problems as Stoke game though - Hendo/Milner I don't think is working. And Ibe and Lallana aren't creating much. Can and Firmino to come on at some point surely.

The refs have been absolutely shocking. I think they've gotten a lot of little calls incorrect, but I'd be furious if I were Bournemouth right now. They're goal probably should've counted- the ref called the foul before the ball went it. I think if he would've waiting a bit before blowing the whistle he would've allowed it. Coutinho went for the ball and the GK adjusted himself to block the shot- to me that means he's involved in the play and it shouldn't have counted. We've been fortunate.

I still don't think Gomez is good enough right now. Early in the game when they were controlling it, they just kept going through him. We're very inexperienced on the left hand side with Gomez and Ibe. I think Lallana is playing much better this week. Was a bit anonymous the first quarter of the game, but he's been good with the ball at his feet and good defensively. Benteke looks worth the money we spent on him. He's good in the air, good on the ground, and he's playing really well.

Would like to see Can and Firmino introduced sooner rather than later, and Moreno for Gomez. I just think Can and Firmino are two of our better players and they should be on the pitch.

The way our rivals have been winning games I couldn't give two shits about how we're ahead as long as we are ahead.

The score line could easily be reversed tbh, there wasn't much contact on Lovren when their goal was disallowed and Coutinho was clearly offside when Benteke scored as well.

Henderson wasn't happy to come off...

Injured ankle I believe

I think that was more frustration, apparently he signalled to the bench that he was injured

We need another change, Ibe has been disappointing and should be replaced

We could try and keep the ball for a change.

Wouldn't surprise me if they scored here, Rodgers needs to get Firmino on.

Coutinho struggling a bit today in the box. We're playing better now, but it doesn't seem to be a direct result of the subs. Can is playing alright, Firmino looking a bit shy still.

We can't keep the ball, giving it away cheaply

a win is a win, 6 points on the board is what counts

A win is a win and that what counts, performances need to improve
