Liverpool player ratings v Arsenal: Alisson back, selfish Salah, pivotal Keita
Liverpool player ratings: Forwards
The Egyptian didn’t have his greatest game so far this season – of course not – but his pressing again off the ball was incredible.
He did nick a chance off Jota with minutes to go (pecking order, much) but apart from that he was seriously class today.
Mane was, going forward and backwards, the driving force behind Liverpool today. The organiser of the counter-press, and the leader when the Reds were defending from the front.
His performance was worth so much more than the tap-in he got, and he is my man of the match.
He was substituted for Diogo Jota, albeit not happily! But his replacement did usurp him as well as he could!
Off the ball, Firmino was right up there with Liverpool’s best players tonight – but unusually on the ball he was rather sloppy.
His weakness was the final ball – which is totally out of character for the Brazilian. He hardly threatened Leno’s goal either.
Hopefully we can see more end product from Bobby soon.
