Alisson Becker - 9.0
Had such little work to do, with the reds ramping up as the game progressed. Was smart in possession and dealt with the couple of half chances that came his way. I’m rating him high, as it’s that kind of result.
Trent Alexander Arnold - 9.0
A very good game, that showed his instinct in the defensive third can be relied upon, whilst his playmaking was …

Alisson Becker - 7.0
Let down by his team being unable to win the game. Could do very little for both goals concerned, and what he did accomplish, he did so with ease. Not the issue at all.
Trent Alexander Arnold - 6.0
We need this kind of energy and want in his performances, certainly when the final third production is lacking. He was far from great, but there seemed a …

Ibrahima Konate
Ibou is every inch the Virgil successor, and his 6ft 4 inch frame continues to defy his tender years.
With a continual blockade representing his defensive style, his physical approach is giving strikers little room to excel.
A good relationship is brewing with himself and Joe Gomez, and the pair have an understanding that is making the back line less easy to get beyond.
His signing …
Why We Have to Resist the Urge to Push Trent into Central Midfield
On several occasions, I have considered the idea of Trent Alexander-Arnold in a midfield three. I was even asked by a fellow supporter recently why this was not happening, and I immediately found myself defending the logic in keeping him there, despite writing articles pointing out the plus points and why it could be the case. There seems to be so many reasons to try him in a different position, yet I always come back to the same conclusion.

Caoimhin Kelleher - 7.0
Recalled for this competition and enjoyed a very quiet first half. The second half was very controlled and he once more had very little to do.
James Milner - 6.0
Had moments where he struggled to get back, with Wolves targeting the flanks for their attacks. Showed good composure up and down the flank in the first half and was a constant voice for Harvey ahead …

Ibrahima Konate
Only one man was able to stand up and be counted in this game. With a systematic failure now spreading all around him, Ibou was at least able to show the fight, determination and spirit that is yet to be drained from him.
With a contest that was probably over before it began, it is clear that without this giant defender in our side, the score line may …

Alisson Becker - 4.0
Despite his struggles against Wolves last week, we must admire everything this giant Brazilian brings to this team. That was until the last game, where it seems, he has dropped to the level of his peers. Not all bad, but nothing that was anything close to his usual standard.
Trent Alexander Arnold - 3.0
With form looking more consistent since the World Cup, the hope was that …
Tony Evans: The Pantspissers Have Been Squealing
The football authorities have developed this unhappy knack of taking something special and ruining it. Generally, it’s in pursuit of money. The World Cup is a perfect example.
Switching focus from the domestic season to a tournament and back again in a six-week period doesn’t work. In a World Cup summer, the season ends, there’s space to readjust before international competition begins and a similar process happens between the final and the new league campaign. There’s a sense of completion …
What To Expect From Our World Cup Reds
Sunday afternoon sees the 2022 World Cup kick off, with Qatar due to face Ecuador in the tournament opener. With this unprecedented mid-season break now fully underway, it gives a moment to look at the Liverpool players who will be participating in the most controversial of competitions.
Below I’ll be detailing the players with their affiliated countries, as well as some key notes to be aware of.

Alisson Becker - 57 caps / 0 goals (yet)

Why Liverpool could sign Declan Rice in January
The first phase of this enthralling Premier League season is now in the dust, and ridiculously, the World Cup in Qatar begins this coming Sunday. This whole international competition is a complete farce, from the moment the destination was announced, until the moment it ends. It’ll bring controversy, injuries, upset and fatigue. Yet the mid-season stop (in many ways) helps Liverpool to recalibrate their own campaign and presents them with an opportunity to get one or two deals over the …
