While new wing-backs Jeremy Frimpong and Milos Kerkez offer attacking prowess, they appear to be causing an imbalance in Liverpool's defensive structure. Bournemouth consistently exploited spaces on both flanks, delivering crosses that kept Virgil van Dijk busy. One such cross from the right wing led to Bournemouth's goal, narrowing the score to 2-1.

Liverpool's struggles against counter-attacks were also evident. Their high defensive line, combined with numerous players pushing forward in attack without decisive finishes, left them vulnerable. When Bournemouth regained possession, Liverpool's defensive structure proved too thin to withstand the counter-attack. This scenario resulted in both of Arne Slot's team's conceded goals.
