Liverpool player ratings: Bournemouth v Liverpool – Dec 17 2017

Liverpool cruised to a 4-0 win against Bournemouth today in the Premier League. Here are our Liverpool player ratings from the comprehensive victory:

A great win all round for the Reds. A clean sheet and a goal a piece for Firmino, Coutinho and Salah. Liverpool bounced back from the disappointing draws last weekend and in midweek.

Jurgen Klopp chose to only make four changes to the side that limped to a 0-0 draw with West Brom in midweek. The captain Jordan Henderson came in for the suspended Emre Can. Simon Mignolet retuned between the sticks and Joe Gomez rotated out with Trent Alexander-Arnold. The biggest surprise was to see Sadio Mane back on the bench and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain in his place.

The Reds looked alive, energetic and up for it from the first minute. A typical moment of brilliance was aided by great work from Andrew Robertson for the opener. Dejan Lovren got on the score sheet after a clever overhead pass from Roberto Firmino. The half was finished off with another beautiful gaol from Mohamed Salah who cut inside for his 20th goal of the season.

Even at 3-0 Liverpool fans are nervous – especially on this ground – and it took Firmino’s second half goal to calm the nerves and give some minutes to the bench and rest the stars.
