A 10-man Liverpool had to come from behind to collect their first three points of the season, with each of the starting forwards all on the scoresheet against Bournemouth.
We saw both the worst and the exhilarating side of Liverpool on their return to Anfield, which only highlighted the need for defensive midfielders – Wataru Endo has a job on his hands!
Conceding inside the first three minutes was indicative of how open and soft the Reds are in defence, but, thankfully, both Luis Diaz and Mo Salah found the net in response.
An astonishing red card for Alexis Mac Allister left Anfield dumbfounded, but not enough to see Diogo Jota scupper the chance to make it 3-1 – his first goal of the season.
Endo’s debut, knocks to Trent Alexander-Arnold and Luis Diaz, a red card and three points, it all made for quite the rollercoaster at Anfield – though there was one clear standout.
Szoboszlai has been quick to show how influential he will be…
In Dominik Szoboszlai, Liverpool have got themselves quite the player and his dominant display at Anfield was not lost on supporters…
As for another Anfield debutant, there was an overwhelming consensus regarding the No. 10’s red card…“
What in the world was that red card decision? Appalling refereeing. Of course Tierney sitting in the VAR doesn’t even want to look at it.” – Jacob in TIA comments.
