#5 The game should have been killed off before it actually ended

Liverpool had two gilt-edged opportunities with James Milner and Alberto Moreno both missing easy chances to put the Reds 2-0 ahead. Some terrific play between Gini Wijnaldum and Firmino set the Brazilian free on the right flank. He provided an inch-perfect cross for Milner to smash a volley home from a few yards out but it was skied.
Milner must be credited for making the run into the area late, but that finish left a lot to be desired. It would have been his first non-penalty goal of the season. Moreno's chance was arguably even easier.
Ben Foster had come up for a WBA set-piece and the ball fell to Moreno, who ran for a few yards, before taking a shot from around 40 yards out. All he had to do was shoot the ball straight into an empty net, but the shot curled out wide.
Eventually, there was no damage done, but it would have done a world of good for Moreno's confidence if he had scored that.
