Player ratings: Liverpool v Arsenal – Aug 27 2017

Liverpool. JORDAN HENDERSON. 8. A true captain’s display. Dominating every phase of the midfield. His passing was excellent. Arsenal gave him all the time in the world and he used every single second of it. There have been questions of the balance of the midfield three but they were the perfect combination today to eviscerate Arsenal in the central areas.. Center Midfield

Simply outstanding. His dribbling, touch and clever turning had the Arsenal midfield all ends up. First Xhaka was flattened and then Ramsey embarrassed himself 3 times in quick succession trying to keep up with Gini. Perhaps his best defensive performance of the season so far also.. Center Midfield. Liverpool. GINI WIJNALDUM. 9

8. A towering display from the German. His great afternoon started with the clever one-two that set up the early chance for Salah. Confident and dominate all game. He showed his hunger just before he came off. We’re 4-0 up and Arsenal break and Emre comes tearing back and flies in with a huge, perfectly timed tackle. I see no reason not to make one of the highest earners at the club.. Center Midfield. Liverpool. EMRE CAN
