Player Ratings: Slot’s Reds Booed After Another Lifeless Display at Anfield | OneFootball

Liverpool 1 – 1 Chelsea

The Premier League early kick off saw two struggling giant meet under the Merseyside sun.

The lineup and subsequent ratings are listed below.

Giorgi Mamardashvili – 6.0

The Georgian stopper was very good and composed, as he was forced to make credible saves. The goal conceded was unfortunate but should have been dealt with by his defensive group.

Ibrahima Konaté – 5.0

The French international was able to assert power and athletic superiority, yet the lack of concentration between himself and Curtis Jones was at times telling.

Subbed – 77 mins

Milos Kerkez – 6.0

The Hungarian international was neither good nor bad in a performance in which Chelsea seemed to have the upper hand in battles in wide areas.

Curtis Jones – 6.0

The England international was solid enough in the opening period before making a better impression in the future in the second half from now on, lucky to be ruled offside as we advance.

Virgil van Dijk – 6.0

The captain and leader of this team was able to make a vocal impact as much ahead of him was disjointed and ineffective. A tough game for the legendary defender

Ryan Gravenberch – 6.0

The Dutch international was able to open the scoring with a thundering strike and looks Fa more suited to that more advanced position. Had some good moments in the second half as the game went end-to-end.

Dominik Szoboszlai – 6.0

The Hungarian international was Liverpool’s most dangerous player and looked to shoot when given the chance. A lack of movement ahead of him and gaps behind him failed to support his own level.

Cody Gakpo – 4.0

The Dutch player was anonymous in the first half and passive in the second as the game state matched his own performance.

Subbed – 77 mins

Rio Ngumoha – 7.0

The England underage attacker was exciting and challenged his marker at every opportunity, which was what allowed him to assist his team’s only goal.

Subbed – 67 mins

Man of the match

Alexis Mac Allister – 6.0

The World Cup-winning Argentina midfielder was more aggressive and committed off the ball but lacked total authority on the ball in an even par performance.

Jeremie Frimpong – 5.0

The versatile wide man was unable to use his foot speed and energy against a team designed to be got at. Too limited on the ball.

Substitutions:

Alexander Isak – 5.0 (on 67)

Came on to add more movement up top.

Joe Gomez – 6.0 (on 77)

Came on to add more passing ability from deep.

Federico Chiesa – 5.0 (on 77)

Came on to add energy.

The Manager:

Arne Slot – 4.0

The starting lineup was as expected and the performance was underwhelming for almost the entire game.

The second-half substitutes were lacking conviction and the crowd reacted accordingly

Steven Smith’s Pre-match Prediction:

Liverpool 2 – 2 Chelsea
