Liverpool player ratings vs Arsenal: Jeremie Frimpong lively and Ryan Gravenberch classy | OneFootball

Reds battle for a deserved point at the Emirates Stadium but the lack of cutting edge was evident

Liverpool failed to tally a single shot on target but earned a very valuable point in a goalless draw away to Premier League leaders Arsenal.

After the break, the match became a little more open but was still scrappy and error-prone.

Dom Smith was at the Emirates Stadium to rate the Liverpool players’ performances...

Alisson Becker 6

Given very little to do by an Arsenal team who found Liverpool difficult to break down once again. Saved comfortably from a Bukayo Saka pop shot.

Conor Bradley 7

Almost scored a sensational opener when he struck the crossbar by trying to David Raya following a William Saliba error. Put in plenty of interceptions too.

Ibrahima Konate 6

Played the game at his own pace - which wasn’t much of a hurry - but his passes were clean and he possessed a good aerial threat.

Virgil van Dijk 6

Did well when up against Viktor Gyokeres but found substitute Gabriel Jesus harder to pin down. Led the backline well in a frantic last ten minutes.

Milos Kerkez 6

Defensively pretty good, but his crosses were not great, and he allowed Jurrien Timber and Bukayo Saka just a little too much room to maneuver at times.

Ryan Gravenberch 7

Mopped up very well indeed in midfield as he came up against one of the league’s most impressive midfields. Diligent and disciplined, and classy.

Alexis Mac Allister 7

Really tidy on the ball when looking to weave in between the bodies in the middle of the park and move Liverpool up the pitch. Silky at times.

Jeremie Frimpong 7

Full of energy and had the beating of Myles Lewis-Skelly when he came on to replace Piero Hincapie, though the actual quality of his crossing did leave something to be desired.

Dominik Szoboszlai 6

Was the furthest man forward at times and Liverpool’s most intensive presser. Unable to repeat his free-kick heroics of the return leg back in August, this time blazing one free kick well over the bar and then striking a second just over.

Florian Wirtz 6

Always an out-ball and an option for team-mates to slide the ball to, without having the goalscoring impact he’s had in two of Liverpool’s last three games.

Cody Gakpo 5

A very quiet showing in attack, and committed some needless fouls.
