Although Liverpool won 4-2, they conceded two goals and made several defensive mistakes, which raised eyebrows among fans and experts alike, including Hamann. He pointed out that the team struggled to control the game and create scoring opportunities, allowing Bournemouth to make a comeback.

Hamann believes that if Liverpool can't dominate possession and control the game, it makes it even harder for them to create chances. He thinks that part of the reason for their struggles is their fragile defense, which was exposed during their previous game against Palace.

Former defender Jamie Carragher also criticized Liverpool's defense, calling it "unbelievable" and "absolutely shocking" during the game. Hamann agrees that the team's dynamics have changed with the departure of Trent Alexander-Arnold to Real Madrid, which has affected the team's overall performance.

Hamann thinks that Frimpong and Kerkez have struggled in their performances so far, and that Frimpong is not suited for the right-back position. He believes that Liverpool needs to address this issue, as the team's dynamics have changed without Alexander-Arnold.

Manager Arne Slot replaced Frimpong and Kerkez with Wataru Endo and Andy Robertson in the 60th minute, and they helped to maintain a clean sheet for the rest of the game. Slot is still figuring out the best way to utilize his new players to improve the team's performance.
