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.
