At times Liverpool attacked like the formidable unit that thrashed Bournemouth 9-0 in this fixture a year ago. At other moments, they looked like a pub team that had never played together before. If Jurgen Klopp likes the phrase ‘organised chaos’, this was more simply just chaos.
They were a goal down after just three minutes and survived a number of other scares after a mixture of disjointed and calamitous defending and bizarrely never really settled into the match until Alexis Mac Allister was shown a straight red card in the second half.
