Where does Luis Diaz fit into Liverpool’s team?

Crystal Palace 1 – 3 Liverpool – The Player Ratings

Alisson Becker - 8.5 Outstanding reactions and moments of class. The tough stuff is done brilliantly, and the routine bits see complete assurance, and this sets him apart. Trent Alexander Arnold - 7.0 Tough to replicate Thursday's performance, against one of London’s stronger teams. His control of tempo and creation in the first half was still very...

Michael Owen – What Could Have Been

Liverpool 3 – 0 Brentford – The Player Ratings

Alisson Becker - 7.0 A couple of good stops aside, it was pretty routine for the big Brazilian. Strong when collecting the ball, and another clean sheet.
