How the national media reported on Liverpool's 3-1 Premier League win over Bournemouth at Anfield
Liverpool kicked off their first home game of the season as they mean to go on, beating Bournemouth 3-1 at Anfield on Saturday afternoon.
Sharing their assessment of the events that unfolded at Anfield the national media, along with the ECHO's own Ian Doyle, whose thoughts on proceedings can be found below.REACTION: Jurgen Klopp admits Liverpool left him with a problem to 'work out'Andy Hunter of the Guardian wrote: "A calamitous start; an accomplished finish. Liverpool’s first win of the new campaign followed the pattern of this week’s search for a defensive midfielder to perfection.
"Trent Alexander-Arnold’s hybrid role typifies how enthralling this approach can be with the ball and worryingly defective and fragile without it. At the tail end of last season the full-back’s roaming into central areas yielded great success, assisted by Ibrahima Konate’s capacity for assuming full-back as much as his main centre-half responsibilities.
"Of concern to Liverpool should have been the way in which a side featuring just two summer signings - Mac Allister and Szoboszlai - started as if they had been thrown together on the training ground for the first time. "Klopp’s men doubled their advantage minutes after the Argentine’s dismissal, as Jota pounced on a parried Szoboszlai shot to score. As Liverpool cut through Bournemouth with ease, it was hard not to recall the 9-0 win in this fixture last season against Scott Parker’s Cherries."Ian Doyle of the Liverpool ECHO wrote: "It wasn’t just the vast Anfield Road Stand that looked unfinished here.
