Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp spoke after the game and admitted that his side did not “enjoy the challenge” of facing a defensive team in Bournemouth. “What can I say? It was never really our game. We were dominant in the first half but mostly we put ball in at the wrong moment against a compact side. They had the counterattacks they wanted to have. I really think the spaces we had to play were super clear, super open,” Klopp said after the game.
“They did the same stuff but it was successful enough because we didn’t defend it well and then I thought we started pretty well in the second half and then got the penalty and we missed it and after that we were in a real rush and didn’t create enough really and that’s it.”
“It was clear from the first second that we come here, Bournemouth are fighting to stay in the league, wonderful club, wonderful city, they want to stay in and they do really well. Results were not going in the right direction in the last few months but the performances look different and so they deserve the three points today, that’s it, Klopp concluded.
