Gini Wijnaldum. 7. Wijnaldum put in a decent performance against United but the stats show he wasn’t as critical to Liverpool’s efforts as he normally is. He made one key pass and 34 total possessions with a 85.3 percent passer rating. No shots on goal meant he didn’t register offensively on the game sheet. And with only two tackles, Wijnaldum doesn’t show up on the defensive side either. A tight offside decision denied him a beautiful goal and higher rating.. .

9. It was yet another great performance from the captain. He was absolutely everywhere on the day. Defensively he put in five tackles, a team-high held with <a rel=. . . Jordan Henderson

7. It was yet another strong performance for Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain in the middle of the park. With an 85.2 percent passer rating, two shots (one on target), three long balls (two were successful), and five tackles. The former Arsenal man has been a great addition to this squad and is forcing Klopp to consider him as his number three in the middle over Brazilian Fabinho who was used off the bench for <a rel=. . .
