Liverpool 1 – 0 Aston Villa- The Player Ratings

Alisson Becker - 5.5 Long stretches of inactivity and some hairy moments led to an up and down afternoon. If these suspect moments see a clean sheet and a probable kick start ensue (before the next run of games), then that’s just fine. Trent Alexander Arnold - 7.5 The low blocks and overloading of Gerrard’s Villa frustrated,...

AC Milan 1-2 Liverpool: Player ratings

Liverpool became the first English team to win all six of their Champions League group stage matches by beating AC Milan 2-1 at the San Siro. The Reds must have felt almost guilty as they crushed Milan's Round of 16 dream even after making nine changes from the weekend's win over Wolves. Fikayo Tomori had put...

Wolves 0 – 1 Liverpool – The Player Ratings

Alisson Becker - 7.5 Did everything well, and the few chances that came Wolves' way, were dealt with in a usual fashion. Trent Alexander Arnold - 7.0 Struggled with the deep block and defensive overload, but had next to no issues defensively. A good game, and always frustrating when opposing teams are so organised. Andy Robertson - 7.5 Kept...

Liverpool vs Brighton – Player Ratings

Alisson Becker - 7.5 So dominant and was once again important to his team. The first goal was pin point precision in it’s trajectory, and would’ve been tough to stop even if not lost in the sun. Trent Alexander Arnold - 6.0 An unsure performance. A new inside centre back (Konate) and the ever revolving midfield...

Atletico Madrid v Liverpool – Player Ratings

Alisson Becker - 8.0 Where Caoimhin Kelleher did nothing wrong, Alisson is a world class asset & his authority showed tonight. He brought assurance and dominance into a big match, and that showed. Some crucial saves kept Liverpool in the game on the first half. His ability to smother on coming forwards is the best...

Liverpool 3-2 Milan: Player ratings as Reds wrestle back three points

When Liverpool win their opening Champions League group game 3-2 at Anfield, it tends to be good omen. This was a game that got the juices flowing in a similar vein to that victory over Paris Saint-Germain three years ago, except this time the scoreline gave it the illusion of a contest. Thanks to a Jordan...

Liverpool Tame Wolves To Get Back To Winning Ways In The League

Liverpool's top-four prospects were given a shot in the arm after a 1-0 win away to Wolves. Returning to his former club, Diogo Jota scored the game's solitary goal and gave the Reds what was -- on the overall balance -- a deserved win. The visitors started the game in a shaky fashion and this was...

Player Ratings for Liverpool 3-1 West Ham

January may have been a rough month to start for Liverpool, but a couple matches in the capital at the end of the month have firmly put the Reds back on track and in title contention again. Alisson – 7 The handsome Brazilian wasn’t asked to do much today with Antonio surprisingly ineffective and Soucek subdued,...

Liverpool 0-0 Manchester United: Player ratings as Reds draw blank against arch-rivals

This was an occasion for Liverpool to banish their rut. Instead, they've sunk further into it. The draw with arch-rivals United keeps the Reds three points off the pace, but above all it cements Manchester City's newly-established status as title favourites. Belief among supporters and among the players is clearly low. Liverpool aren't functioning as a...

Newcastle 0-0 Liverpool: Player ratings as missed chances cost Reds

Liverpool's title success was built on 'finding a way to win', but their title defence has been hamstrung by their repeated failure to do so. It wasn't a vintage performance but it should have been enough to take the three points. The Reds have been left two reflect on the two glorious opportunities they squandered. Here...
