AKE: WE WERE JUST TOO SLOPPY

-

NATHAN AKE admits that Bournemout­h need to take a long, hard look at their failings at Anfield.

Boss Eddie Howe (left) was left down in the dumps.

And Holland internatio­nal defender Ake, given the unenviable task of marking Mo Salah, said: “A few sloppy moments changed the game.

“Liverpool’s first goal – free in the middle. Second goal – free in the middle and Salah came into space.

“And the third one, yeah, it’s not good.

“We didn’t really get a grip of the game. We wanted to play attractive football but we couldn’t do that.

“I think we went long ball far too easily, but obviously they are a very good team.

“If there is no pressure on the ball, then Salah can make incredible movement in behind you – so it’s really difficult.”
