Alisson Becker - 7.5
A busier game than he could have envisioned, with a few moments of frantic play engulfing his penalty box. A clean sheet, some smart saves, and a semi-final awaits the giant Brazilian.
Joe Gomez - 8.0
A very good game for the England defender. Was understandably lacking in the normal Trent style...
The gunfight at the O.K Corral is an historical moment that has been retold many times over, throughout various western movies. Depending on your age, movies that still seem fairly modern to me will probably be deemed ancient by the generations born after me. Tombstone was a brilliant film that had every scene stolen...
The juggernaut rolled though the Emirates and didn't stop, thanks to goals from Diogo Jota and Roberto Firmino. But what were the key stats as the Reds got to within one point of Manchester City?
Silence, then thunder

Not much happened in the first half. Both teams had few shots, none of which was particularly dangerous....
Joel Matip
Virgil, Fabinho and Alisson all could have won this, which showed the utter strength through the defensive middle. In a game where Martinelli was so dangerous, Matip was able to offer great coverage when they broke. Was dominating aerially throughout, assured in possession, and carried the ball forward with his usual threat.
A great...
What is the correct wage for any player? It's very subjective even in the best of circumstances, but the negotiations between Mo Salah's camp and Liverpool football club involve several added layers that increase the complexity exponentially.
THE WAGE SCALE
The "wage scale" and how far Mo's new deal can be outside of that without upsetting...
Against Arsenal, Liverpool had one of their slowest first halves of the season. It seemed like the Gunners had a real foothold in the game, and although they didn't create much, neither did Liverpool. But we will not be stopped. No matter what you throw at these boys, they'll plant their feet, grit their...
Arsenal 0 - 2 Liverpool - The Player Ratings
Alisson Becker - 8.5
A pretty routine first half for the giant Brazilian, with possession of the ball more apparent than anything else. Made a great stop early in the second half as the game opened up. Didn’t have much to do after that, but his moments...
I want Mohamed Salah to sign a new contract with Liverpool, as he’s the world's best player, performing to the peak of his powers. He is perhaps the most remarkable signing in Liverpool's history, and the success that has been garnered (during his stay), is as much to do with him as anyone else.
This...
Luis Diaz
The South American flyer was at times sensational today, and has quickly become a player that the fans adore. His unpredictable nature, movement of the ball and ability to engage defenders was very much apparent today.
He scored a goal, could have had more, could have been supplied more efficiently & was a creative...
Liverpool didn't have too much trouble at the Amex Stadium as they earned a comfortable 2-0 win, thanks to goals from Luis Diaz and Mo Salah. But what were the key stats as they got back to 3 points of Manchester City, at least until Monday.
An easy victory

This wasn't a difficult day for Liverpool,...
