06:24Giotta, our forever 20 and his beloved brother Andre Silva. As we do so we ask
06:31all supporters with a mosaic card to kindly raise it to help create our
06:36special tribute in both of their honour. The silence will begin and end on the
06:41referee's whistle.
07:24A beautiful silence, but so terribly sad.
07:48And so, as it must, business resumes.
07:52And if year-on-year improvement is the aim, then here are two clubs, two coaches with their work cut out.
07:58For Arna Slott, there is nothing better than the best.
08:02And Donny Araolo served up Bournemouth's finest point-for-point Premier League season ever.
08:07So beat that if you can.
08:10Liverpool seeking successfully to defend a league title for the first time in four decades and more.
08:17Bournemouth in a period of their existence, where they have never had it so good.
08:27The 34th season of the Premier League is upon us.
08:32Match one of 380, the champions and the cherries.
08:37Here we go.
08:40Van Dijk, who lifted the trophy in May.
08:43Harding it forward towards Viggs and Eketike.
08:47Trimcon has his first Premier League touch.
08:49Snatched away by Tavanier.
08:52It's Konati.
08:53What's your gut, your instinct about Liverpool's start of the season here, Jamie?
09:12Well, listen, there's definitely a lot of sadness around the club.
09:16Liverpool bring in so many players, there's certainly been an element of excitement as well,
09:23especially with that man who's just fizzed his pace, pats out wide.
09:28To another side of Frimcon, so...
09:30Yes, there's been a lot of money spent.
09:34I mean, certainly haven't been at the best in pre-season, Liverpool.
09:37It's something that I think Bournemouth will look to try and capitalise on, obviously,
09:44but certainly defensively, getting close on the counter-attack has happened quite a few times in pre-season.
09:49Diakite gifted it to Gatpo.
09:53And Salah can play it in, Diakite away.
09:56Scott's got a neat little touch, Evan Nielsen helped it on its way towards Brooks.
10:00And I'll say it was where he needed to be.
10:02Well, that's a little snapshot there, an incident there of what we've probably seen in pre-season from Liverpool.
10:09That's a pass there, someone's in behind.
10:12The right full-back, Frimcon, which makes up really high-start positions.
10:16But that's nothing new with Liverpool, I know, certainly in the last sort of seven or eight years,
10:21different type of player to Trent Alexander-Arnold,
10:23but probably some sort of issues defensively for Liverpool to have to navigate.
10:28Alexis McAllister hasn't had a complete pre-season by any means,
10:32but he's good enough to start on the big night.
10:35Diakite, Poe.
10:40Attacking intent from Ugo Eketike,
10:45who, of course, flew out of the blocks at Wembley last weekend.
10:48And his previous really big club experience was with Paris Saint-Germain,
10:55but he was there in that Galacticos era,
10:58which rather stymied his progression there.
11:01Just looking down at Semenyo, I mean, we're never quite sure where he's going,
11:12what position he's going to take up, certainly in those wide areas.
11:14If he's up against the guy he knows really well in Kekes,
11:17could have easily put Brooks out this side and Semenyo on the other side,
11:21but maybe Arreola fears that maybe it's something he saw in training at times that season.
11:28And Semenyo can get some joy down this left side as well.
11:34As you possibly have heard today, they're losing Dago Watara to Brentford,
11:37which is an interesting one.
11:38Witts, Eketike.
11:42Moving it through here for Gatpo.
11:47Kekes.
11:50Adam shielding his defence.
11:52There is a competition now in a Raulho spit again.
12:01Nilsson was hurrying Canate.
12:07The TK.
12:09Spread for Salah.
12:11Problem here for Truefair on Premier League debut.
12:14It's no Salah!
12:15Oh!
12:16And Petrovic was at full stretch.
12:19Well, we just saw an evidence of exactly what Arne Schwab was talking to me
12:24and Gary Neville about before the game.
12:25Just look at this run on the outside here from Frimpon.
12:28We didn't really see that in the past from Trent.
12:30He supported from behind.
12:32That gives no Salah the opportunity to come inside.
12:34And how often have we seen that finish?
12:37Really good save from the goalkeeper.
12:38He's back.
12:42Georgi Petrovic signed from Chelsea via a year at Strasbourg,
12:46where in the French League he was his club's player of the year.
12:52Witts.
12:56Ping pong.
13:02Salah van der Ney!
13:03He definitely tried sort of initially from the corner,
13:13and he had to clear an inch short, I think it was to TK.
13:20And the Indians' flag going towards Van Dijk,
13:22as we've seen so often.
13:24And it's hard.
13:27Looking for the net.
13:28Fitts.
13:36And Salah.
13:38There's an escape to Tavern here.
13:44David Nielsen.
13:46And the lead pulled shoulders.
13:48For the time being,
13:50as the sole senior striker that born the pad,
13:53NS Uno,
13:55the alternative is still out,
13:56and will be for a while.
14:06Catch for Semenya.
14:09That was his old friend, Kerkis.
14:14And Dyke.
14:15Trouffer, who is Goldman's new Milos Kerkis.
14:29And Trouffer placed it in for Semenya.
14:32Milos sliding in at full tilt.
14:35Oh, he has to score.
14:36But you can see this battle going on at the back post.
14:38You can see Kerkis and Semenya.
14:44Just once he's got in front of him,
14:45he's too powerful for Kerkis.
14:46You can never get the other side of him.
14:49Probably just does enough in the end to pull him off as much as he can
14:51without giving a foul away, Kerkis.
14:56Huge opportunity, that.
14:57Antoine Semenya did score Bournemouth's first goal,
15:01and indeed their last two goals of last season.
15:04It's the last Bournemouth player to score in the Premier League against Liverpool.
15:08Bournemouth's record against the Reds is horrendous.
15:13They have never won on this round.
15:17Sanesi.
15:18The only survivor from last year's back line.
15:20The only survivor from last year's back line.
15:50This other series of the United States
15:52where he tried several versions of midfield, actually.
15:55We just saw David Brooks starting this time.
15:58He's missing Ryan Christie.
15:59He's still missing Lewis Cook.
16:02Semenya's long throw.
16:05And that can't take.
16:15Tyler Adams, who was a little late back into pre-season.
16:17The United States got to the final of the Gold Cup,
16:20where they lost to Mexico.
16:23He was involved till the end of that.
16:31His heavy back pass is too much for Alistair,
16:34and Bournemouth have a cheap corner.
16:36poor clearance, poor pass in the Community Shield,
16:45across Liverpool, certainly in the build-up for the first goal.
16:48Open Canate.
16:51There's a lot of centre-half talk here.
16:53Mark Gahy here is a big conversation.
16:56Giovanni Leone, the youngster, has arrived from Parma today,
16:59quite expensively for a teenager.
17:00He's got a kick in by Tufair.
17:13And this is in command.
17:14Come on.
17:14Come on.
17:16Come on.
17:18Come on.
17:20Come on.
17:22Come on.
17:24Come on.
17:26Come on.
17:27Come on.
17:28Come on.
17:29Come on.
17:30Come on.
17:31Come on.
17:32Come on.
17:33Come on.
17:34Come on.
17:35Come on.
17:36Come on.
17:37Come on.
17:38Come on.
17:39Come on.
17:40Come on.
17:41Come on.
17:42Semenyo again.
17:43Koppers is tight.
17:44Smith's on the overlap.
17:46Semenyo has found Adam Smith here.
17:48And he wins the corner from Van Dyke.
17:50This is purposeful from Bournemouth.
17:51He started well.
17:52Just won't miss up.
17:53Kopp trying to play for the back.
17:54Have a six minute to go.
17:55But.
17:56The space there.
17:57Van Dyke was looking what was over his shoulder.
17:58Eventually comes across.
17:59Initially didn't spot the run.
18:00The space there.
18:01Van Dyke was looking what was over his shoulder.
18:02Eventually comes across.
18:03Initially didn't spot the run.
18:07the run.
18:08To deliver left-footed from the right.
18:09Evan Ilsen's flick.
18:10Not close.
18:11Sobbers-like.
18:12Chased away by Salah.
18:13What a toe-in.
18:14That flick just forced you for Liverpool.
18:15Yeah.
18:16It's a good one.
18:17It's a good one.
18:18It's a good one.
18:19To deliver left-footed from the right.
18:20Evan Ilsen's flick.
18:21Not close.
18:22Sobbers-like.
18:23about a toe-in.
18:24That flick just forced you for Liverpool.
18:38It lands on Samposlai's head.
18:39And it'll be easily land onto Ramiah's head.
18:44TK just about worked it out with Salah.
18:46Vietz.
18:47Salah.
18:48Salah, the scoop is taking no chances.
18:54Wirtz has already played three fantastic passes,
18:57he needs to play the ball really early, certainly doesn't look to hog it.
19:01Florian Wirtz, really sharp pass, that one in to Mo Salah.
19:06Only on the game he found, TK twice.
19:10That's what I've just noticed in the pre-season games,
19:13just watching here in the first few minutes.
19:16Passes on early, plays it.
19:30That's with the corner.
19:38Hand it out for Tavernier.
19:40Andy Taylor saw nothing wrong.
19:45Andy Taylor starting his 16th season as a Premier League referee.
19:54He's at the Club World Cup.
19:56He's at the top of Kallister.
20:00McAllister.
20:04Firtz.
20:11And Newick.
20:12Adam Smith, the only player in this Bournemouth team who has taken so much as a point
20:31at Anfield over the course of his long career, went past 400 Bournemouth games at the back end
20:36in the last season, Tavernier, that's a super spread, Brooks to Worry Frimpong, trying to let him go, Truffaire, made up for Tavernier, Brooks again, and Truffaire sat down Sobosly, Scott won a header, Granate won a header,
21:06Neketike won the ball, Salah sought to sit him away, but Sanezi got across
21:25Now, there is a question around whether Sanezi was guilty of something which denied a run on goal
21:35Maleketike was adamant that the normal defender would handle the ball
21:42Check is complete from the VAR, suggestion being that he had no control of the ball, it bounced up off his body, onto his underarm
21:59That's handball
22:00I mean he knows exactly what he's doing with his hand, it's just a reaction as a defender, but I mean that was handball
22:10Smith's free kick
22:14And if it was handball, Jamie, perhaps the deeper question would be around whether it was dog's own, it's a long way from goal, but that was Liverpool's most optimistic appeal
22:29But I mean, Peter, we can hear what the VAR are saying, and they're saying it was almost like it's come off his leg and it's almost hit his hand like he doesn't, he can't do nothing about it, it's a second movement
22:41It's not, he realises that he's got a massive problem and he puts his arm towards the ball, I mean how the VAR can say that
22:50I mean I say this a lot in games, I really don't like, I'm seeing people sent off, I really think that should be a lashy's all for any official
23:04I'm not sure that would have been, would that have been clusters because it was so far away, I'm not sure
23:08That would have been the debate
23:09That would have been the debate, but what I've just heard from the VAR did not happen, what he said
23:15There's plenty of time when it's hit the thigh, you realise the problem he's got, now he throws his hand at it
23:23It's the second grab isn't it?
23:25Exactly
23:26I mean, which is much more contentious
23:28The information the referee got there was not correct
23:40Here's Salah
23:42Gap Poe, he's onside, Smith's got goalside
23:48And Tyler Evans has got back
23:56Kerkis
23:57Witts
23:59Salah
24:00Too much for Ekotique
24:01I mean both teams have started really well in an attacking sense, both teams look like they're more than capable of getting a goal or two tonight
24:15Really clam out combination again, starting with Witts as well
24:19I mentioned it earlier, this sort of pass that he puts on really, he plays, I think makes it easier for the players, he's playing alongside Witts
24:30Kerkis
24:50And Kekis we can throw, the TK, there's a concern for Diakite, he comes up with the ball
24:55He comes up with the ball.
25:01Scott got thrown to earth by Solisly.
25:06And it's getting a little touchy.
25:10In the slot, very often the calmest customer anywhere is himself a little worked up.
25:16He's been saying in the week that his players need to be a little bit more streetwise.
25:20Sometimes they're getting maybe more free-kicks.
25:26Maybe going down at times with the action that he's just been shown to the referee.
25:39He doesn't want Liverpool to be too nice.
25:45Thank you, Tate.
25:50Evan Nilsson ahead of us.
25:56That ball!
26:07Konate wasn't short.
26:09Helps out, back by Tavernier. Evan Nilsson's offside.
26:12Nilsson's offside.
26:18He needs to wake up Konate very quickly.
26:20Soapis line.
26:30Soapis line.
26:32Hekutike. Soapis line.
26:34Gatpo.
26:36The flags up against Cody Gatpo.
26:48Gatpo.
26:50Resuming on the left side for Liverpool.
26:56He had scored in ten consecutive Anfield starts
27:00until failing to do so against Crystal Palace on the final day of last season.
27:07Just looking down on Alex Scott, he's almost playing at the No. 10 role.
27:13He's a little bit different in centre midfield, trying to join.
27:29Yeah, they both had a go at it in pre-season.
27:33As I mentioned, without Ryan Christie and critically without Lewis Cook,
27:36who is both suspended and injured.
27:40So they're probably a No. 6 shy.
27:44Ryan Christie's back into this team, I think, when you think of the success
27:48of Bournemouth last season, finishing ninth.
27:51Breaking so many records along the way.
27:54Ryan Christie was a part of all of that for me.
28:03And he is due back, I gather, quite soon.
28:06Missed the last eight games of last season.
28:08He's got a poor injury against the Ipswich.
28:12And Calisto fits.
28:21And Pite.
28:23Who did have, the new centre-half did have a full pre-season with Leal.
28:26His fitness isn't in doubt.
28:29They played a friendly at West Ham last weekend, actually,
28:31which he wasn't involved in.
28:37But we hit the 20-minute mark.
28:39And that will be, forever, Diogo Johnson.
28:42What a burden of significance, that number 20 out there.
28:48Forever emblematic of a loved one lost.
28:52And, of course, indicative of the title that he was a part of winning.
29:07And, of course, indicative of the title that he was a part of winning.
29:10And, of course, indicative of the title that he was a part of winning.
29:12Heck, dude, John, we keep his life as well.
29:15He dreading by his death weight off the economic direction with him.
29:22But it was a concept that he killed at 9.
29:30He said, that, at least, left his life isn't.
29:33The number one was just not only.
29:35And he's got aolare one, and he 7,000 times down.
29:38Because you're trying to tell our children we're going to do something.
29:41FALLOW.
29:43FALLOW.
29:47FALLOW.
29:49FALLOW.
29:51FALLOW.
29:53Wonderful boys.
29:55It was brought from so the side for Salah.
29:57FALLOW.
29:59So the side for Salah.
30:01FALLOW.
30:03Salah.
30:05Is wriggling through until Tabaddeh stops in.
30:09He's with a pocket of space.
30:21This is where he feasts.
30:25This.
30:25This.
30:39The centre-backs really jumping, really pressing high, just giving an eye on Vierkita here, really pushing in.
30:52On the side, TK, really aggressive on the front foot.
31:00Well rid by Frimpolp, and on by Wierz, that's beautifully weighted for Salah.
31:07He's eyeball to eyeball, we're too fair.
31:12Frimpolp advanced, as he will be, slobber slight.
31:20Salah's whip.
31:21And Patovich to catch.
31:37That's Scott, left it behind for McAllister.
31:45I was looking for Salah, who wasn't there.
31:48He's there instead.
31:49Salah towards Ekotike on the turn.
31:53Everyone's amazing.
31:55The whistle has long since gone.
31:56Initial foul.
32:09Ekotike.
32:0915 goals in the Bundesliga last year for Udo Ekotike.
32:20Against Leipzig at the end of April.
32:22Seven also in the Europa League, got one against Spurs in that competition.
32:25Vietz for Gappo.
32:41Shaved just too much of it to Tyler Adams, but Vietz has it back.
32:44And Semenyo gets in.
32:51And Kukes flew in.
32:54And McAllister finished the job.
32:59And Semenyo's up for a battle here.
33:02He's a powerful boy.
33:04Two or three to stop him.
33:05That was just a little bit of evidence.
33:10He's brilliant at winning the ball back.
33:11One of the best in the Premier League at that, Semenyo.
33:16And that's a little snapshot of what Liverpool supporters can expect from Kukes at times.
33:20He does go flying in, he's really aggressive.
33:23You have to temper that at times.
33:28Ever present for Bournemouth last season in the Premier League, Milos Kukes.
33:32It was suggested to Iriola in his press conference that he must know the left-back's weaknesses and exploit them.
33:40To which the response was, from Iriola, he is a complete player.
33:48And it is a massive compliment to Bournemouth that they have sold players this summer to Real Madrid, Paris Saint-Germain and Liverpool.
34:02So far, coping OK without them.
34:0420 minutes out from half-time.
34:08And from Semenyo, looking at TK got some of it.
34:10Viet's got some of it.
34:11Away by Gatpro.
34:12Thank you for the chance to have bought.
34:25And the position goes Liverpool's way.
34:34Viet's got a little bit of it.
34:37Viet's got a little bit of it.
34:38Viet's got a little bit of it.
34:40Like a little bit of it.
34:41.
34:44.
34:49.
34:52.
34:57.
35:01.
35:05.
35:09I'm going to get carried up by Evan Nielsen, so it's like...
35:17Connace...
35:20Salah would frimp on beyond then.
35:34Yes, so it's like...
35:39Giffel was well-stationed.
35:42Which brings it away, Van Dijk is there to meet it, and Liverpool can go again with Florian Wirtz.
35:50Frimpong Eketike...
35:53Nikita was well, and he needed to be.
35:58Go from Diakite, across there.
36:01Giffel and Eketike met each other once in Ligue 1 for just a quarter of an hour.
36:12In February of 2023, PSG against Lille.
36:15One came on very shortly before the other went off.
36:21PSG won the game 4-3, Mbappe 2, Neymar and Messi.
36:25Which explains why Eketike wasn't getting much game time in that period.
36:30In that period.
36:39Anthony Taylor...
36:41would appear to have a technical issue of some sort.
36:51And on a slot, he's not missing the opportunity to join the conversation.
36:56What they're discussing is not immediately clear.
37:12Fourth official is Parai Halam.
37:14Well, nobody's going to speculate here.
37:36We're all in the dark with the topic of the conversation.
37:46Evidently...
37:50It is something that both coaches were invited to hear about.
37:58It's an awkward one for Farai Halam, who is one of six new officials actually just promoted to select Group 1 of referees.
38:05And he is...
38:06...the fourth official overseeing.
38:10Stand by...
38:11...Omination...
38:12...Hungphia of...
38:13...Exercise...
38:14Stand by...
38:15...Omination...
38:16...Hungphia...
38:17...Exercise...
38:18Hey!
38:19Pedro, that's it come...
38:21...Botter.
38:22Come on!
38:24Come on!
38:25Come on!
38:26Come on!
38:27Come on!
38:29Get the guest side!
38:30Come on!
38:31Come on!
38:33Come on!
38:34I am told by the match centre, the Premier League match centre,
38:45that Antoine Semenyo was subject to a racist comment from the crowd.
38:56Of which, of course, no one on either side, or indeed anywhere, is approving.
39:04So, sympathy from Liverpool.
39:13Beyond which, at this stage, nothing to report.
39:25In by Vietz, up goes Van Dijk, and up goes Petrovic.
39:29What I can tell you also is that it was Semenyo himself who brought the referee's attention to it.
39:35Tiochite, Smith, Brooks, Semenyo.
39:45Semenyo.
39:46In Chester watching both teams build off, both looking to try and play centrally and almost enticing the opposition
39:54to win it off them.
39:55And if both teams have actually lost it in dangerous positions, but they continue to play in there, hoping that they can get Joy.
40:01They can bring their position on so they can find space in other areas.
40:06Tiochite! Tiochite! Tiochite! Tiochite! Tiochite! Tiochite! Tiochite! Tiochite! Tiochite!
40:19Smith's throw. Semenyo in a right, royal, strap with Kirquez, the brain enjoying that.
40:28Close from the ground. Semenyo's pleading his innocence.
40:31Certainly not shaping the challenge Kirquez but from experience of playing in that role at times.
40:37I just think seeing up against the might and the taste of power,
40:42And the taste of power of Semenu on that side.
40:53Sometimes he just needs to back off.
40:55Do you want to get rolled and turned and left?
41:01This with the free kick.
41:05TK and Diakite again, seeing a lot of each other.
41:12It's not a slight.
41:35Semenu, Smith.
41:37Evan Nielsen.
41:43Diakite glides in.
41:45It seems an obsession with Liverpool to play dangerous balls into the centre of the pitch.
41:51Sounds like they forgot what their opposition is.
41:55Bournemouth has got a presence to him as anybody in this league.
42:00That's where they get the joy from.
42:01That's where they get the joy from.
42:11Oh, the slot was certainly wary of their intensity, and very obviously with good reason.
42:24Here's McCallister bursting through.
42:25McCallister bursting through.
42:29I think Holm got there ahead of the ball.
42:31Evan Nielsen.
42:38Tavernier.
42:40Scott.
42:41The team who last year, remember, were afraid of no-one.
42:47Arsenal beat Manchester City.
42:50They won at Manchester United at Newcastle.
42:52And this is Smith.
42:59And this is Smith.
43:03And Arsene is required to react from Tavernier, who didn't quite catch his swing.
43:07Well, Bournemouth might very well lead.
43:09Here's Salah.
43:10They had the two best chances, Bournemouth.
43:12They should be 1-0 in front.
43:14Fitz.
43:18They still don't look right defensively.
43:19Liverpool.
43:22For a minute one in this game.
43:24We've seen it a lot in pre-season.
43:27It can cause problems.
43:28Left side, right side.
43:29Balls in behind.
43:34I think Brook's just going over it.
43:40Which makes it a bit more difficult for Tavernier.
43:42Maybe sees it late.
43:43At a moment has escaped him and them.
43:53Really willing midfield runner, Marcus Tavernier.
43:55Happy, as we've discussed, to be number six, number eight.
43:59It's come from wide.
44:00Just three goals in the Premier League last year.
44:04A year in which, in one sense, Bournemouth were Liverpool's greatest ally.
44:08They did a double over Arsenal.
44:10Oh!
44:11Oh!
44:13Oh!
44:14Oh!
44:17Oh!
44:20Oh!
44:23Oh!
44:25Oh!
44:26Oh!
44:28Oh!
44:30Oh!
44:32Oh!
44:34Oh!
44:35Oh!
44:36I'm sorry.
44:38I'm sorry.
44:40I'm sorry.
44:42I'm sorry.
44:44I'm sorry.
44:46I'm sorry.
44:48I'm sorry.
44:50TK is both through one challenge.
44:52Oh, it's goals!
44:53The curtain rises on a new and field star, Ugo Ekitike, 1-0 the champions.
45:14Oh, what a start, he's made to his Liverpool career.
45:18Two goals in two games.
45:20He gets involved in the build-up, he's not just going to stand up alongside some of the defenders on the last line.
45:29We saw evidence of that in the community scene, see he drops deep, and then McAllister plays a lovely way to pass into him, then he gets that little bit of luck.
45:38And can he finish? See, he's in that deeper area again.
45:43He's not just an out-and-out centre forward, up against that last line.
45:45He's been questioned about his finishing, his XG numbers, before he arrived.
45:52He's had two big chances in the Liverpool shade, and he's scored two goals.
45:59And Liverpool needed that.
46:02Bournemouth have been excellent in his first 38 minutes, as they find themselves one behind.
46:07To an icy, calm finish from a young player.
46:19Good reason to feel jittery on a major night.
46:23Two goals already in Liverpool red.
46:25I mean, what was interesting, Peter, was the position he took up initially.
46:32When you think of Liverpool last season, the best team that they had was a lot of the times, Diaz,
46:37was in that centre forward, and we're almost dropping off.
46:39He almost a lot of the time, with Soboslai and Diaz,
46:42played with two number-10s, really, and not with an out-and-out centre forward.
46:46So I think we'll still see that from him.
46:48And also what happened last week, he had a really good opportunity,
47:00something pretty similar, when he got his head on it,
47:04and he didn't find the back of the net.
47:07It's another situation, doesn't quite get it right.
47:11Very reminiscent, as I've said, of the Community Shield.
47:18It's clear, it's that Arna Slott has a new striker who, like him,
47:46and he's not inclined to panic.
47:51And then he came, and he executed.
47:57I mean, we're talking about it from a Liverpool point of view,
47:59it's great for that lad to get off to a great start.
48:01Nguyen, the Premier League, Bufferson, Nessie, I mean,
48:05Nguyen will be disappointed.
48:06He's got to win that challenge on the edge of the box.
48:10I'm just careful about that, and that little bit of luck that he got.
48:14TK.
48:16I'm going to go.
48:20I'm going to go.
48:24I'm going to go.
48:27There we go.
48:28Calister.
48:29Sortless line.
48:35Salon.
48:36Yes, McAllister, to the point of Diakite.
48:51Samara surrounded.
48:53Another cool ball with Parker left out from half-time.
48:59Close, sticky mid-August evening from Merseyside.
49:06Liverpool have a fabulous record over the opening weekend of Premier League.
49:24Haven't lost their opening game of the league season, Jamie, since you retired.
49:2912 years, haven't lost on the opening day since 3-0 at West Brom.
49:34I was only a sir.
49:35You were, and you only came on, I think, because Daniel Aga was sent off.
49:40That was your year as the sort of granddaddy of the team.
49:43Lo-bo-bo-bo-bo-bo-bo-bo-bo-bo-bo-bo-bo-bo-bo-bo-bo-bo-bo-bo-bo-bo-bo-bo-bo-bo-bo-bo-bo-bobo.
49:51A start from the 3-0 at average essentially, over the 3-0.
49:53Ho-bo-bo-bo-bo-bo-bo-bo, a-st jeste, over the觉 Brian!
49:53If you don't know what's this far, I want-to-bo-bo-bo-bo-bo-bo-bo-bo-bo-bo-bo-bo.
49:55Trap!
49:551-9 draw three since then and ahead here
50:04Salah can't easily escape
50:22he needs to calm down he was flying in there I mean just before that he went flying into a challenge
50:43with Semenya I mentioned earlier on he's too strong a powerful for him he's gonna have to learn to
50:48learn that with his maturity and experience can't win every challenge
50:54especially against players who are quicker and stronger than you
51:00you'd have to play more cleverer game than that
51:03there were a lot of conversations prior to the big kickoff and indeed prior to the community shield
51:17around Liverpool's new left back and their established left back Andy Robertson
51:21and that of course will remain a live contest
51:25look at that Liverpool defensive line it is very deep
51:29I don't remember seeing that last season maybe I missed a couple of times but normally you expect that at least on the penalty spot
51:37there's been a lot of talk about another striker coming into the club but what a start this man's made you see the central defender
51:42Diakate initially coming out with him that's the name of the game for Bournemouth centre-backs then he just loses it
51:48and then Sinesi's got to do better he has to
51:53you see the central defender Diakate initially coming out with him that's the name of the game for Bournemouth centre-backs then he just loses him
51:55there's been a lot of talk about another striker coming into the club but what a start this man's made you see the central defender Diakate initially coming out with him
52:09that's the name of the game for Bournemouth centre-backs then he just loses him
52:13and then Sinesi's got to do better he has to
52:15he doesn't look at the goalkeeper the goalkeeper just makes his decision and dives one way
52:24it's not like he waited for the goalkeeper to go
52:27and Ozei on the ball
52:30he was taking that shot
52:33Sinesi who is now self-evidently the senior centre-half for Bournemouth
52:50who intend I think to try and sign another centre-half as well as Diakite
52:55Semenyo
53:01all the wrong reasons sadly will be part of the story of the first half here
53:07Tavenier
53:09and by Truffert
53:11maybe Brooks Truffert can go beyond him
53:14and put us all the danger
53:17and by Soboslice
53:26and his eyes lit up
53:27Petrovic
53:29had an ideal starting position
53:3123 games in the Premier League for Chelsea a couple of seasons ago
53:36Georgi Petrovic
53:38actually his last Premier League game prior to this
53:41was for Chelsea against Bournemouth in
53:43the way of 2024
53:45we're into three minutes of stoppage time
53:49and the way of 2024
53:56is a terrible part of the world
53:58we're in the world
53:59and the way of 2024
54:01is the ADP
54:03this is a terrible part of the world
54:06and the way we're going to be
54:09Sinesi who's a sick man
54:11so it is a terrible part of the world
54:12is a terrible part of the world
54:14and the way we're going to be
54:15I'm going to have some hooks.
54:33Now they've got from McAllister, and Stobbatch from Bournemouth have a free kick here with a position of potential.
54:45Brooks again is a would-be orchestrator, Marcus Tavernier can throw a left foot at this.
55:04Captain Smith is there in an advisory role, and it's a two-man Liverpool wall.
55:12Initially that defensive line from Liverpool has gone a little bit deeper,
55:15the goalkeepers just push them up a little bit more.
55:24Brooks over it. Tavernier into that two-man goal.
