Let’s review the outstanding moments that surrounded Liverpool’s inaugural victory of the new campaign.

What blockbusters are worth

Dominik Szoboszlai has only played in two official matches while wearing a Liverpool jersey, but he has already partially demonstrated that The Kop made the right choice in spending £ 60 million to bring him to Anfield during the summer transfer window. Similar to the game against Chelsea, the Hungarian star was a standout in Liverpool’s midfield against Bournemouth, impressing with an incredibly thorough display.

Szoboszlai was very frequently at the heart of each Liverpool assault, leaving a lasting impact with his composed passes, silky dribbles, and a number of sophisticated handling situations. The 22-year-old star not only worked effectively with the forwards on offense, but he also made a name for himself on defense by frequently retreating to the lower line to thwart Bournemouth’s attacks.

Mac Allister is to blame

The Argentine midfielder has just been shown his first direct red card of his career, and it is obvious that the referee acted far too harshly in making this choice. If you recall the event in slow motion, Mac Allister’s tackle was not at all vicious and he barely even made contact with Ryan Christie.

However, the VAR team still upheld the referee’s decision, and this decision immediately caused a strong wave of controversy on social networks. Even coach Andoni Iraola admitted after the game that Mac Allister’s foul didn’t look like a red card situation.

cruel red card issued to Mac Allister.

 Impressive Tadashi EndoEndo was given the chance by manager Jurgen Klopp to make his Liverpool debut in a legitimate game not long after moving to Anfield. The Japanese midfielder, who came on in the 63rd minute, produced a respectable performance, especially considering that Endo had only joined The Kop the previous day.Endo may have been handed the chance to play sooner than anticipated by Mac Allister’s dismissal, but he didn’t seem overly surprised in his first game. With 26 touches and an average passing accuracy of about 88% versus Bournemouth, including four in the lower third of the field, the former Stuttgart star had relatively few opportunities to lose the ball.It wouldn’t be shocking if Endo started for Liverpool the following week with Mac Allister out via suspension. Endo soon has a chance to debut.

Get compensation

Individual mistakes and a lack of focus from the Liverpool defense allowed Bournemouth to take the lead after just a few minutes. Both Trent Alexander-Arnold and Virgil van Dijk were responsible for this goal, while Andy Robertson also lost points with an ineffective tackle.

Minutes after the situation, Alisson lost the ball again after a careless pass, and was forced to pay with a yellow card after stopping the opponent. However, fortunately for Liverpool when their attack had a booming day and “corrected” the teammates in defence. 

 Liverpool’s defense is insecure. 

Unwise choice?

 When Bournemouth took the decision to fire coach Gary O’Neil and replace him with coach Andoni Iraola during the summer transfer window, it really caught everyone off guard. However, it appears that this team did not make the best choice here.It is clearly difficult to hold Israel responsible for Bournemouth’s lone point after the first two games given that they frequently play challenging opposition. The current Bournemouth, though, is the same as the one from the previous campaign when it comes to performance on the field.
