Inter Milan 0 - 2 Liverpool - The Player Ratings
Alisson Becker - 7.5
The worlds finest stopper, but it was the bar that saved him on 17 mins. A busy second half for his defensive line, and command led when needed.
Trent Alexander Arnold - 7.5
The assist machine nearly added to that tally on 14 mins,...
The Premier League title race has been widely declared 'over' on two occasions already this season.
First, there was City's comeback win against Arsenal, the epitome of 'mark of champions', and then there was their victory at home to reigning kings of Europe Chelsea a fortnight later.
'If they don't drop points here,' we thought, 'when...
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...
Caoimhin Kelleher - 7.0
A good first half, with lots of possession against Arsenals press. Solid composure under pressure, and another good outing.
Trent Alexander Arnold - 9.0
A great moment for the opening goal, and the playmaker is looking imperious on the ball. Gave good solidity at the back, and tracked runners well. Kept sliding into...

The last few weeks (indeed much of the season), has seen a certain rhetoric take place regarding certain players. The likes...
When Jürgen Norbert Klopp arrived at Liverpool, there was a sense of relief and hope. The style of football quickly changed, the tempo of the matches picked up, the gegenpressing began to unfold, and certain players started to fall under the intense pressure.
Brendan Rodgers and his patterns of play were forever changing at Liverpool,...
Alisson Becker - 8.0
Some important stops allowed Liverpool to avoid any issues. The most important goalkeeper in Liverpool’s Premier League era, and irreplaceable in this side.
Trent Alexander Arnold - 8.0
So impressive in his game. The elegance and natural ability he has is unmatched by any other attacking fullback. Another assist for this sensational talent,...
Alisson Becker - 7.5
Mistakes will come now and again, but the world's best stopper showed a commanding presence in a routine display.
Trent Alexander Arnold - 9.5
Sensational. The teams primary playmaker is transcending the fullback position. Any manager in world football (club football anyway) would have this man over any other, and his domination of...
