Liverpool fans will be fully aware that our performances against Bournemouth and Manchester United could not have been more different and Steve McManaman has shared his thoughts on the much more disappointing result that came at the Vitality Stadium.
Speaking on BT Sport, the former Red said: “I thought [Liverpool] were terrible today, everything Liverpool did well last week [against Manchester United] when they won at Anfield – was completely the opposite today”.
It wasn’t just the obvious fact that we didn’t score seven goals but our entire performance was far below the standards that are expected of the Reds and we never truly looked like winning the game, expect for an exciting opening 10 minutes.
Bournemouth certainly didn’t dominate us like we’ve seen teams like Brighton and Wolves do to us but they took their one chance, which came from terrible defending, and that was all they needed for three points.

"They were lethargic, they were slow… There was no urgency to go forward."
