A few clumsy fouls ultimately led to his substitution in the 83rd minute, but if his primary task was to help preserve the clean sheet, he accomplished it.Ryan Gravenberch: 7/10- Like Kerkez, he ultimately defended well, but the unexpected spark he showed on the ball earlier in the season appears to have faded during the club’s recent run, with no goal contributions in his last nine league matches. Still, as a defensive midfielder at the City Ground, he did his job.Curtis Jones: 7/10- It couldn’t have been easy for the Scouser to switch into a starter’s mindset after Florian Wirtz’s unfortunate knock in warmups.

Liverpool were fortunate to scrape away with three points on a day when he wasn’t at his best.Hugo Ekitike: 6.5/10- Perhaps he’s grown a bit too reliant on linking up with Wirtz in open play to make an impact, as the Frenchman was quiet at the City Ground. Simply a superb 20-minute performance, and I’m done hearing about his age—give this boy more opportunities.Federico Chiesa: 7/10- He brought his usual super-sub energy, though he wasn’t quite as influential in his other cameo appearances.

Still, it counts for something that he was on the pitch for yet another late winner.Joe Gomez: 7.5/10- He came on for Jones and continued his fine run of form, helping the Reds secure a clean sheet. It will be crucial for him to stay healthy through the end of the season, providing Slot’s side with a reliable defensive option amid so many injuries elsewhere.Andy Robertson: 7/10- He couldn’t quite find his rhythm after coming on late, but still played like a consummate professional, giving his all while Kerkez remains Slot’s preferred choice at left back.
