Liverpool player ratings vs Galatasaray: Mohamed Salah flops as Ibrahima Konate unravels in 1-0 Istanbul loss | OneFootball

Liverpool fell to another 1-0 defeat at RAMS Park, leaving them at real risk of elimination after a dismal Champions League display in Istanbul.

Their set-piece frailty proved costly, as Mario Lemina scored from close range after getting on the end of Victor Osimhen's header from a corner.

According to Goal.com, Ibrahima Konate had a calamitous evening, Virgil van Dijk was unconvincing, and Mohamed Salah was ineffective before being withdrawn with Milos Kerkez midway through the second half.

Giorgio Mamardashvili started in place of the injured Alisson. Florian Wirtz returned but wasted Liverpool's best first-half chance, while Andy Robertson did fine after replacing Kerkez and Jeremie Frimpong added pace without impact. Cody Gakpo came on late.

Slot's selection gambles did not pay off and he now needs a classic Anfield comeback next week to keep the campaign alive. Another last-16 exit, and to this Galatasaray team, would reflect badly on a coach already under intense pressure.
