Bournemouth boss Andoni Iraola praised his players after their Carabao Cup defeat to Liverpool.
The Reds won 2-1 with goals from Cody Gakpo and Darwin Nunez sandwiching Justin Kluivert's effort.
Iraola said: "We cannot ask for much more from the players, I think we played really well.
"In the second half we put a lot of pressure on them but it's an amazing goal from Darwin [Nunez].
"We kept pushing and had chances but we were not clinical enough.
"The wind today was a key factor. We struggled in the first half and they struggled in the second. It was difficult for both teams and I think it mattered a lot.
"Liverpool didn't want to kick it long in the second half and we wanted to use set-pieces, but they are the ones who scored the second goal and we have to congratulate them.
"We played well today. It's a cup competition and you don't want to go out."
