Liverpool boss Arne Slot blamed fatigue for his side's first defeat in 14 games, as Bournemouth's Amine Adli struck with virtually the last kick of the game to snatch a 3-2 home win for the Cherries on Jan 24.
The Dutchman had steadied the ship in recent months after a run of nine defeats in 12 games in all competitions earlier in the campaign for the champions.
But the Reds have now failed to win in their last five English Premier League games in a major dent to their hopes of Champions League qualification next season.
In contrast to their domestic troubles, Liverpool took a giant step towards the Champions League last 16 with a 3-0 win in Marseille on Jan 21.
Slot, though, blamed the tight turnaround and his threadbare options due to a number of injuries for his side running out of steam.
