"Liverpool got what they deserved. Every inch of it, from one to eleven, Liverpool were poor. Bournemouth were the better side at 0-0, they were the better side at 2-2, and ultimately Liverpool were found out. The £300m transfer window that set Liverpool up to fail and the poor in-game management, were two contributory factors, but here are how the Liverpool players rated in Saturday's defeat."
"Virgil van Dijk- 3 He makes the fundamental error for the first goal and plays the scorer onside for the second. Van Dijk scored a great header to get Liverpool back in the game, but he also could have done a lot better for Bournemouth's winner. Joe Gomez- 6 Gomez didn't do much wrong before being taken off due to injury, he was dealt a bad hand by van Dijk for Bournemouth's first goal."
Liverpool were poor across the entire side and deserved the defeat to Bournemouth. Bournemouth were the better team at multiple stages of the match and ultimately exposed Liverpool's weaknesses. The expensive transfer window and subpar in-game management contributed to the outcome. Several Liverpool players received low ratings for individual errors, lack of decisiveness, or poor form. Virgil van Dijk made critical mistakes but also scored; Dominik Szoboszlai produced a key free-kick; Alexis Mac Allister and Ryan Gravenberch were criticised for underperforming; Alisson and other defenders struggled in difficult conditions.
