Four draws in a row and a total of ten matches without defeat in the Premier League have only somewhat hidden all of Liverpool's flaws this season - Bournemouth showed that Arne Slot's team is far from the one that was the champion not so long ago.
The team from Vitality was leading 2:0, the Reds came back to level at 2:2, and then, like many times this season, conceded a goal when a total turnaround was expected - Amin Adli demolished Liverpool in the 95th minute (3:2).
Liverpool is still without a win in 2026 in the championship - after four draws, a defeat has arrived.
Slot has had great support from the club at every moment of this season due to his achievements last year - will he survive this one too? Especially since the champion could drop out of the Top 5 in the Premier League after the 23rd round.
Slot's team had the initiative from the start, but "Reds" cut in the 26th minute. Captain Virgil van Dijk's mistake, which Evanilsson did not fail to take advantage of (1:0).
The "cherries" reached 2-0 seven minutes later and at a time when Liverpool was down a player due to Joe Gomez's injury. Spanish full-back Alex Jimenez "swallowed" Milos Kerkez and scored for 2:0.
Van Dijk "atone" for the mistake with a goal after a corner kick from Dominik Soboslai (2:1) at the finish of the first part.
Liverpool tried in the second half, mostly in the home half, but for a long time there was no concrete action. And then in the 80th minute, the best player of the Anfield team shone once again this season - after a free kick goal against Marseille in midweek. Soboslai once again made a masterful shot from the free kick.
Four minutes later, Bournemouth had a great chance to tie the game through Evanilson, but the Brazilian missed the shot. Florian Wirz missed a similar chance immediately afterwards, and then an explosion in the 95th minute.
Will Slot stay after "Vajtaliti"? Çabio Alonso is already being mentioned as his successor.
