Very few Liverpool players received any credit after losing 2-1 at home to Man United, with Milos Kerkez enduring another poor performance.
The Reds have now lost four games in a row, with Harry Maguire’s late winner at Anfield subjecting the Premier League champions to their worst run of defeats in all competitions since November 2014.
Here we compare our ratings with those of TIA readers, the Liverpool echo And GOAL.
Kerkez (3.73) has made a slow start to his Liverpool career and was given the lowest rating on Sunday, which turned out to be an unfortunate figure.
The left back was “far too irritable when he pushed forward”, the newspaper said Echo‘s Ian Doyle, and GOAL’s Tom Bellwood thought he “enjoyed a torrid first half.”
It was another bad day for Mohamed Salah (3.93)whose manifestations are now becoming a cause for concern.
This is AnfieldHenry Jackson said Arne Slot replacing him when a goal was needed “sums up his current form.”
It wasn’t a day to focus on positives, but Cody Gakpo (6.38) achieved the highest score after being Liverpool’s best striker after a goal and several shots from the post.
Doyle felt he was “constantly chasing United’s right side”, at least creating chances and scoring the equalizer.
What the statistics say
According to FotMobmoney (8.3) was once again Liverpool’s most important player against United.
No one had more shots than the Dutchman’s total of five, and he hit the post twice with fierce efforts that deserved to go in.
Virgil van Dijk (7.5) and Dominik Szoboszlai (7.5) made the most defensive contributions for the Reds – 16 and 12 respectively – while the former’s tally of 10 headers was the most of either side.
For Salah it was another bad day from a statistical perspective, with the 33-year-old not being able to make a single successful dribble (0/2).
Alexander Isak is also still struggling to find top form, missing one big chance and having only four ball contacts in the opponent’s penalty area.
