He looked raw at times but Nunez brought a chaos factor which changed the momentum of the game.
The wait for William Saliba to play in the Premier League has frustrated fans who had long wanted to see the young centre-back in action.
Tavernier won five free kicks over the course of his 85 minutes on the pitch and showed an eye for a pass too, creating three scoring chances for Bournemouth and helping to ensure their Premier League return went exactly according to plan.
In just 39 minutes on the pitch, he grabbed a goal, an assist, and attempted four shots - twice as many as any other Liverpool player managed all game - three of which were on target.
Tavernier brought energy and guile in equal measure, succumbing to cramp in the closing stages but not before he had made a positive impression on everybody watching.
