Worrying times for the Liverpool fans. And it is another lovely Bournemouth move. Callum Wilson plays an intelligent pass to nutmeg Dejan Lovren in the penalty area for the onrushing Eunan O'Kane.

But, from a tight angle, O'Kane can only shoot into the side netting.

So close from Matt Ritchie - striking the post earlier - after a decent move down the left.

So, so close to an equaliser. There seems to be little danger when a square pass finds Matt Ritchie, who comes off the right wing to blast the ball left-footed towards goal.

And what a strike it is from 25 yards. Simon Mignolet is beaten but the ball bounces off his left-hand post and Liverpool survive.

Alex White: Henderson the new Steven Gerrard? No chance. Gerrard was World Class by 25. Henderson never will be.

sViera: Firmino on for Lallana, please. His slip at the corner sums up his match so far.

Lallana fell over before taking a corner, if you wondered.

After some uncertain defending from Liverpool left-back Joe Gomez, who twice fails to clear, Matt Ritchie swings a cross into the box left-footed from the right wing.

But it is decisive goalkeeping from Simon Mignolet who comes off his line to punch the ball away.

After good work from Christian Benteke, he finds Jordon Ibe, whose low cross falls at the feet of James Milner.

But the England midfielder, acting as Liverpool captain on his home debut, cannot get the ball from under his feet quickly enough and scoops the ball wide.

Srollo:  Think Liverpool look good this season. Can see them finishing fifth and have a decent cup run...ie no better than last season.

Jordan Henderson had more touches than any other player while on the field.

A lively start to the second half. Philippe Coutinho's shot is deflected wide, but then a forced change for the hosts.

Jordan Henderson comes off for Emre Can, with the German slotting into midfield. Vice-captain James Milner now has the armband.

Meanwhile, in the posh seats....

We had not mentioned Matt Ritchie much in the first half, but the midfielder, who bagged 15 goals last season in the Championship, has another attempt at goal.

Again he moves the ball on to his left foot but his curling effort is harmlessly off target.

Matt Ritchie drags the ball on to his left foot and blasts a low attempt at goal but Simon Mignolet is well positioned to fall on the ball and take the sting out of the shot.

Just like in the first half, a bright start to the half from Eddie Howe's side.

It is as you were for Bournemouth. They stick with a 4-4-2 formation.

The players are back out on the pitch and it is time for the second half. Don't go anywhere. It could be a lively 45 minutes. Can Bournemouth rescue a point? Can they get an unlikely victory?

It is time for the customary 'James Milner has a great engine post'.

Well, he has run further than any other player in the first half of this match at 5.87km. Is there a more under-appreciated player in the Premier League?

The stats are against Bournemouth to recover this one

Stoney: It's a shame when the decisions of officials rather than the ability of the players has the most influence on a match.

James Rimmer:  It's going to be very hard for Bournemouth to stay up unfortunately.

Tom Swain:  Strike me down for being positive, but I'm quite enjoying watching Liverpool play here.

It is a great start to the season from the north-west teams in the Premier League, if this score stays the same.

But it could get even better for Liverpool. A three-goal winning margin takes the Reds second, but they need to score another five to go top.

For what it is worth after two matches. Which is not much.
