Player ratings: Liverpool vs Torino – August 7th 2018

GINI WIJNALDUM. 8. Great game from Gini against Torino. Got his second goal in as many games, something very unusual to see from him since he has been at Liverpool. Made great runs through the midfield and distributed the ball well, trying to become one with the attack. He will have to keep putting in shifts like this to get consistent time in the midfield with the likes of Jordan Henderson, Naby Keita, Fabinho, and Xherdan Shaqiri competing. Do not be surprised if he gets the nod on Sunday.. Midfielder. Liverpool

7.5. Naby was a little bit more quiet tonight than in past preseason games. Although, he had a nice attempt on goal and his passing was stellar per usual. It will be interesting to watch his chemistry develop with our front three, hopefully they will create some poetry in motion throughout the season.. Midfielder. Liverpool. NABY KEITA

7. Fabinho is starting to fit into the Liverpool scheme already. You can see his passing and movement is starting to correlate with that of his teammates. But, his score will be docked tonight because of a missed penalty at the start of the game.. Midfielder. Liverpool. FABINHO

Liverpool. XHERDAN SHAQIRI. 8. Another great showing from the Swiss midfielder. Got up and down the pitch the entire time he was on it, trying to deliver balls through into Sturridge and Ings. Bagged an assist on the last goal from Sturridge on a beautiful lofted ball onto his feet. Hope to see him in full force Sunday.. Midfielder

7.5. Another very smooth performance coming from the youngster Curtis Jones in the midfield pack. Showing every game why Klopp should give him his chances at the first team in the actual season. Just seemed to be calm on the ball, knowledgeable about what to do and when to do it. Really think that he will break into the team this year.. Midfielder. Liverpool. CURTIS JONES

N/A. Listed as a midfielder, but came on as a defender late, due to a lack of them. Not enough action to see a grade, and not sure how much action Grujic will see throughout the year with so much depth in the team sheet.. Midfielder. Liverpool. MARKO GRUJIC

Midfielder. Liverpool. ADAM LALLANA. 6.5. Lallana came on at the beginning of the second half but failed to make a real impact. Should be able to do more against an average Torino defense, and his play time will be in question for the season. Everyone at Liverpool wants Adam to succeed, he has just not been on form since his comeback from injury.

N/A. Good to see our skipper back in action against Torino. Did not see enough to the field to make an impact or get a grade, but hopefully we will see him again on Sunday to lead to team.. Midfielder. Liverpool. JORDAN HENDERSON
