Liverpool player ratings vs Brighton: Robbo 3, Thiago dross

Striker: Mo Salah – 4.5

Did what he could, but too one-dimensional.

The Egyptian’s typical cut inside tactic was worked out by a savvy Brighton, and they continually worked him out.

He’ll score against City though – mark my words.

Striker: Roberto Firmino – 3

Did anyone count the number of times Firmino lost possession today? In the first five minutes, it felt like he’d given Brighton Frankincense, Myrrh, and the ball.

The Brazilian’s retention was well off, and I can recall only one good pass in the entire match to Mo Salah, when that is literally his job.

One of the worst I’ve seen Firmino, for sure.
