We asked for your thoughts after Sunday's Premier League game between Bournemouth and Liverpool.

Here are some of your comments:

Bournemouth fans

Derek: Very poor game management. Subs on too late and too many Championship players on the bench.

Tez: Maybe it was time to give the squad a go. We looked tired. No zip in passing or our usual energy. Missed Justin Kluivert. Late subs gave no chance of a comeback but didn't feel Liverpool were a big threat either. Well done, Iraola - nice to see you. Must have been strange in opposite changing rooms and dugouts. Onwards and upwards.

Mike: Bournemouth need to buy in January. The team is small and lacking in quality. Marco Rose's tactics and style of play is not what was expressed before he joined. His attacking style is weak and the team is sloppy. Bournemouth needs to have some replacement managers in the line-up, I don't see Marco working out.

Bob: Once again, lots of running, mostly to no avail. When down, attempting to win by effort alone is not successful. Calm heads and experience are required to steady the team and come again. At the moment, both are missing.

Liverpool fans

Robbie: Taking a bit of getting going, but understandable with new boss trying to sort out last season's problems. Florian Wirtz - another poor performance.. On plus side, Cody Gakpo and Alexander Isak linked up again, and defence has improved. Slow signs of improvement... still unbeaten, but hard program ahead after the international break.

David: I would have taken the 0-1 before a ball was kicked. Always going to be a hard game for a lot of reasons. Liverpool still not clicking in certain areas, some combinations not working with the system we are trying to implement. Need to move the ball quicker and slicker. More training ground time for everyone to get it working together.

Ian: A scrappy affair with too many underachievers, with the exception of Jeremy Jacquet, who was once again outstanding. Isak scored the goal but the rest of his performance was dire. Why Liverpool persevere with Wirtz is a mystery because once again he was woeful. I lost count of how many wayward passes there were all over the pitch. I feel sorry for Iraola, he's got a near-impossible job on his hands to shape this squad of misfits into a team that can challenge for silverware.

Tony: Not enough chances created in the final-third. Got the job done in the end and are improving slowly. Good boost for confidence before the international break.
