Eddie Howe was left disappointed after his Bournemouth side fell to a 2-1 defeat at home against Liverpool on Sunday. Roberto Firmino and Daniel Sturridge won the game for the away side in the first half, with Josh King scoring a consolation for the Cherries in first-half stoppage time.[Its] disappointment from our perspective overall on the performance levels, Howe told Sky Sports. Especially first half I think we were very good today, credit to Liverpool but we didnt cause them enough problems and we didnt work their back line enough.Second half was a lot better, last half an hour we came strong and if we got the goal earlier it could have been different.We felt we ended the game very strongly, I liked the look of our side at the end of the half, but too little too late from our perspective.Howe also reserved praise for goalscorer King, but felt his goal came too late for his side. Joshua King of Bournemouth celebrates after scoring his teams consolation goal Josh King played very well today, he scored a great goal, said Howe. But overall the feeling is we lost it in the first half.There was nothing in the game until their first goal, which came out of the blue really. But overall I just dont think we got enough ball in their half, we didnt really threaten and for the home team that wasnt enough.Bournemouth may be virtually assured of safety on 41 points, but Howe insists his side will be motivated to fight for as many points as they can until the end of the season.The motivation has to be very strong, said Howe. We take that momentum from this season into next, so its very important that we try and win as many games as we can.
