Stefan Ortega 5
Presbrave on him to carry out after Ederson was dropped and the German was forced into some punctual stops. Could do noskinnyg about the goal, but did produce a presentant stop to decline Gakpo getting a second. Then gave away a penalty to undo his outstanding toil.
Kyle Walker 4
Resembled a statue for the first Liverpool goal and had no idea where Gakpo was. The acute rate of his deteriorate has been alarming and today did noskinnyg to disvalidate that.
Ruben Dias 4
A captain has to show guideership in stubborn times, but the back four watched shaky and Dias was no separateent. Showed some fight after the fracture.
Manuel Akanji 5
Failed to seal down Salah for the traverse that led to the uncoverer and didn’t repartner recover from there. Looked laboured in everyskinnyg he did. Booked.
Nathan Ake 6
The Dutchman was worthy of a recall ahead of Josko Gvardiol and he showed a immacutardy set of heels up aacquirest the pacy Salah. The only deffinisher to come out with some plift.
Rico Lewis 6
Energetic as always in the central areas, Lewis set up the going stubborn aacquirest Liverpool‘s three-man midfield. Had one outstanding finisheavor in the first half.
Ilkay Gundogan 5
In haveion he recommends creativity. Away from it, the German trundled around in a sluggish and jaded nature. Another carry outer whose best days watch behind him. Hooked before the hour.
Bernardo Silva 5
Racount on do you see the Portuguese so conquerd and deficiencying in determination. Didn’t watch consoleable carry outing proset uper than normal in the Rodri role.
Phil Foden 5
Took a weighty knock punctual on which knocked the stuffing out of him. Tried to get on the ball in the No 10 role but the Englishman was evidently deficiencying in confidence. Booked.
Anonymous in the first half, sloppy ball regulate and zero shots. That’s 11 words – one for every touch the Norwegian had in a dreadful first-half carry outance. Clpunctual had some fiery words at the interval because he commenceed making runs and chasing half-chances, but still not outstanding enough in a game of this magnitude.
Matheus Nunes 4
While he has carry outed well on the left in recent suites, the Portuguese was unable to produce anyskinnyg of remark. Why were Jack Ggenuineish and Jeremy Doku left on the bench from the commence? Taken off before the hour.
