Liverpool get knocked out in the Fifth Round of the FA Cup by Chelsea after a 2-0 loss at Stamford Bridge. Another really poor and disappointing performance from the Reds as they fall to their third defeat in four games, in three different competitions.
Adrian – 5
You can’t make mistakes like the one he made for the Willian goal, but made a couple of very good stops as well.
Neco Williams – 5
Started brightly and delivered a couple of nice crosses early on, however as the game progressed he began to struggle and was sloppy in possession.
Joe Gomez – 6
Felt like neither of the centre backs were tested too much. Got unlucky when defending against Giroud when the Frenchman hit the bar.
Virgil van Dijk – 6
Was positioned well for numerous dangerous crosses from Chelsea.
Andy Robertson – 5
Had very little synergy with Origi down that left hand side which stifled his attacking presence.
Fabinho – 4
Still yet to get back to the form he showed before his injury. Looked very slow off the ball.
Adam Lallana – 4 (Off at 80 mins)
So slow, so weak. So long, Adam.
Curtis Jones – 5 (Off at 70 mins)
Showed some nice touches and turns but wasn’t in the game enough.
Sadio Mane – 6
The most threatening of the attacking players, but couldn’t get anything going enough to find the net.
Takumi Minamino – 5
Had some good moments but was anonymous for large portions.
Divock Origi – 4 (Off at 70 mins)
Looking a long way away from a Premier League-level forward, at the moment.
Roberto Firmino – 5 (On at 70 mins)
Meh.
James Milner – 5 (On at 70 mins)
Meh. Booked.
Mo Salah – 5 (On at 80 mins)
Meh.
