Very few Liverpool players came away with any credit after losing 2-1 to home to Man United, with Milos Kerkez enduring another bad performance. Here we compare our ratings with those of TIA’s readers, the Liverpool Echo and GOAL.

The left-back was “far too excitable when pressing forward,” according to the Echo‘s Ian Doyle, and GOAL’s Tom Bellwood thought he “endured a torrid first half.” It was another poor day for Mohamed Salah (3.93), whose displays are now becoming a cause of concern. This Is Anfield‘s Henry Jackson said that 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) got the highest score after being Liverpool’s best attacker after a goal and multiple shots off the post.

What the stats say According to FotMob, Gakpo (8.3) was again Liverpool’s leading performer against United. Nobody had more shots than the Dutchman’s tally of five, and he hit the post twice with fierce efforts that deserved to go in.
