2 points dropped I'm afraid.
Had no issues with the starting 11, that was the strongest side we could have put out with all the injuries we currently have. The only problem with playing Origi though is that we have to move Firmino out wide, and he is far more effective down the middle.
Wijnaldum gave a dreadful goal away but a part of me is kind of glad it happened. Maybe now they will finally F**k off messing around at the back and causing ourselves all kind of problems and inviting pressure. At times it is F***ing ridiculous. What the F**k is Mignolet playing at doing Cruyff turns for fucks sake? Lovren isn't exactly steady on the ball either. Every time we play tika-taka around our box Im watching the game through my hands. We were going to get caught out sooner or later.
What happened when Mignolet decided to go long for once? Origi wins the head, Firmino gets the flick on, puts Coutinho through and we equalise. I don't like long ball or route 1 football but sometimes its just that simple. If there are no options on then just go long, don't F***ing take the piss and mess around with the F***ing ball in our box. It really infuriates me.
I thought the lads did really well from then on though. The effort they put in was superb and we thoroughly deserved to go 2-1 in front.
However, instead of pushing on for a third to kill the game we just sat back and invited Bournmeouth onto us. Jürgen takes Coutinho off for Matip and we go 5 at the back, with a diamond midfield, with origi upfront. Before Bournemouth got their equaliser there was that same old feeling amongst the fans around the ground that it was going to happen, you just knew it.
2 points dropped. Can't afford any more and we need to go to stoke and win now whereas if we had beaten Bournemouth then I think a point would have done us at the Britannia.
All in all a disappointing day because the performance was fine, but two soft goals and we gave the game away.
