"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 from one to eleven and deserved the defeat. Bournemouth were the better side at 0-0 and at 2-2 and ultimately exposed Liverpool's shortcomings. The £300m transfer window and poor in-game management contributed to the failure. Alisson struggled in difficult conditions and arguably should have done better for the second goal (5). Milos Kerkez struggled against his old club and was substituted at half-time (5). Virgil van Dijk made the fundamental error for the first goal, played the scorer onside, but scored a header (3). Joe Gomez did little wrong before injury (6). Ryan Gravenberch and Alexis Mac Allister were both poor in midfield (4 each). Dominik Szoboszlai produced a brilliant free-kick and had positive moments (7).
