Liverpool 1 - 0 Manchester City - PL Player Ratings
Alisson Becker - 9.0
Immense when needed, thoroughly dominated his box, and showed superb reactions to set Salah free. He’s been a rock this year,. The low one handed save wars critical and he showed why he’s the worlds best.
James Milner - 9.0
A brilliant performance, and...
Starting XI
Alisson Becker - 7.0
The reds most reliable performer this term. Could do little for the opening goal, with the scorer having a clean shot to take. Was rarely troubled for the remainder of the half. Had even less to do in the second period.
Joe Gomez - 7.0
A more solid fullback could be what...
There's not point in even pretending that performance was acceptable. Even with a couple of days to process and rewatch the game, it doesn't become easier to digest
The Good
Darwin Nunez
Jurgen Klopp placed a lot of faith in Darwin Nunez when he decided to spend what could become a club record fee to sign the...
When Jurgen Klopp arrived at Borussia Dortmund, the remit was to increase stability and ensure survival within the German Bundesliga. Vast funds were not apparent, therefore smart recruiting and elite coaching were the key facets that saw tremendous success follow. That time period of approximately 7 years, saw many of the team (those that...
Starting XI
Alisson - 6
Can't be blamed for either goal at the half. Had one great save.
Trent (subbed HT) - 2
Did not do well for Arsenal's opening goal but was worse for the second. In a 3v3 breakaway, he inexplicably pushes wide to join Henderson in defense and finds himself completely uselessly positioned as the...
The highs and continual lows that have been witnessed this season (for Liverpool FC) have been quite staggering at times. If you listen to the various shows on Anfield Index, you’ll know that system tweaks, player attitudes and general form, have all been mentioned as attributing factors. A culmination of things have obviously had...
If we thought the international break might give Jurgen Klopp and his staff time to figure out what's wrong with his team, we were wrong.
If we thought Liverpool's players might return with renewed vigour and show an acceptable level of intensity and desire, we were wrong.
If we thought Brighton might struggle under a new...
Liverpool 2 - 0 Rangers - The CL Man Of The Match
Jordan Henderson
He was relentless, controlled and made great on and off ball decisions. He seemed to be more comfortable in the two, and was keen to stamp his authority on the game. His best performance in maybe two seasons, and this needs...
Alisson Becker - 7.0
The weekends man of the (reds) match. He was made to deal with some tricky back-passes early on, but did enough to make sure he wasn’t caught out. Had a busier spell late on, but was determined to keep them at bay.
Trent Alexander-Arnold - 8.0
Kept his place despite some poor form,...
Liverpool’s hugely disappointing start to the campaign continued at the weekend, with a 3-3 draw at home to Brighton. Brighton are an impressive outfit this season, and that coupled with the annoying international break could perhaps explain some of the reds weekend inconsistencies. The main concern however, is Liverpools continued inability to play through...
