Going into the match at Bournemouth, Liverpool's unbeaten run was the longest of any side in Europe's top five leagues. This is a Liverpool side no longer feared - one that has lost the aura they possessed while romping to the title last season. "From Bournemouth's point of view, they would have looked at Liverpool and thought 'why can't we beat them?' Arne Slot's side look miles off the team we saw last season," said Alan Shearer, who is a pundit on Saturday's Match of the Day. They're making too many errors and are weak defensively, as we saw with the winning goal.
