Game week 2 arrives at its conclusion this evening as Liverpool welcome Bournemouth to Merseyside for the first ever league meeting between the two clubs. After a multitude of armband options failed us again, many will be looking to Reds attack to save yet another disappointing round of results for Fantasy managers.

Certainly, Liverpool carried plenty of threat in front of their own fans last season. Despite scoring only 30 times at Anfield in 2014/15, Brendan Rodgers’ men fired a total of 331 attempts – only City and Arsenal managed more efforts when it came to home encounters.

As for Bournemouth, they arrive at Anfield boasting a fine away record in their Championship winning season, claiming eight victories and suffering just five defeats on the road, with a goal difference of plus 30.

Delving into last week’s data, though, tonight’s two sides managed just one big chance and five shots on target between them in Gameweek 1, suggesting that both sides will need to improve in the final third should they have ambitions for three points.

Paul Is certain he won't make the same mistakes next season. Follow them on Twitter

    Clearly a foul for the disallowed goal and Coutinho didn't interfere with play. You're all so biased.

      Under the new rules this year Coutinho made a move for the ball and thus was offside.

        Under pretty much any offside rule it should have been offside.

        The goalkeeper reacted to Coutinho, as he was clearly interfering.

        The rule that a player being offside commits an offside foul by moving for the ball was already officially in force last season.

      Harsh, but a foul for the disallowed goal.

      But clear offsides on the second, no question.

      its a dumb rule to start with. the refs will ALWAYS be uner pressure because of it, most times it will be a subjective call to make.

      Also if that's clearly a foul for the disallowed goal, then Skrtel should get a red card every game for his corner shenanigans.

      With the new rules that shouldn't have counted. Coutinio influenced the play when he was offsides. So unlucky for Bornemouth. Should be 1-0 up, but they're 1-0 down.
