Liverpool player ratings vs Arsenal: Mo Salah mindless, Fabinho shoddy
Liverpool player ratings – forwards
4. . . . Mohamed Salah
It just didn’t happen for Mo Salah tonight. His opportunities came few and far between.
And when they did come, he fluffed his lines – when he’s not firing, he has a habit of just running into people.
Which is exactly what he did, and when presented with a free header at the back-post, his only real chance, he tamely gave Emi Martinez catching practice.
. . . Sadio Mane. 8
The driving force behind all things positive about Liverpool tonight, Mane once again showed leadership in both the press and his body language.
For such a shy, unassuming man off the field, this lockdown period has shown a different side to Sadio – and it’s something we love to see.
As a hot take, he will be a real candidate for the Golden Boot and Player of the Year in 2020/21, especially if he continues in this vein.
. . . Roberto Firmino. 7
Bobby has looked so slick in the previous three games but has failed to really threaten goal at all – with his ricochet off the post against Burnley the one exception.
He had a few nice touches and played a part in the goal, but was withdrawn after 70 minutes in preparation for the bout against Chelsea.
