Bournemouth's epic comeback; Bradley's struggles in Swansea; more EPL notes
Before his team took the field on Sunday, Liverpool manager Jürgen Klopp talked about preparing for to face Bournemouth.
“Analyzing before the game I know I had to show the strength of the other team to my squad,” Klopp told Sky Sports. “They look really good.”
But he added: “Of course there are a few weaknesses—that’s how it is always—and we need to force those weaknesses more than in other games. If we do we will win; if not it will be really difficult.”
In the first half, Klopp’s planning worked to perfection. Liverpool wrapped the home team in a smothering neon yellow blanket. It exploited Josh King’s reluctance to defend on the right.
