Liverpool 3-0 Southampton | Player Ratings

Sound that.To come off the back of a tough Champions League game, to have made three changes, to have stayed in first gear and to still make it look easy is fucking glorious.Alisson ‘Was he even playing’ Becker- 7Seriously, I saw him pissing about in the first half and that was it.Oh no, he was finally tested in the 91st minute.Trent ‘The Kid’ Alexander Arnold – 7.5What was your diet when you were 19, mate? Beer, drugs and Pot Noodles? Mine too. Not this lad. He eats up footballers. I’m thinking Neymar on toast, a Sané sub. Today’s choice was a Redmond Rasher. Sublime assist for Matip too, well in la.Joel ‘Waving Inflatable Tube Guy’ Matip – 7Shit myself when I saw his name on the team sheet tbh. Only because I was worried about Joe. Joel lept like a salmon for his goal and his passing cut through Southampton like a hot knife through butter. Always loved a cliche.Virgil van Cucumber – 8Just a wall isn’t he? He stops everything, reckon he could stop Brexit too. Got bored in the second half and faked an injury. Putting his feet up before the AJ fight later. He’s also cool as fuck.Iru -Bru Robertson – 8Honestly don’t know why i’m still surprised by his performances still. The lads immense. No nonsense defending backed up with quality attacking play. To think we swapped him for Kevin Stewart is mind blowing.Gini ‘The Arse’ Wijnaldum – 8Treats the ball like a protective dad warning spotty teenagers away from his daughter. It’s his and no one will go near it. Even if that means using his arse to keep people away. Quite frankly, I love it.Xherdan ‘The Thighs’ Shaqiri – 7Was a bit like letting your dog off the lead in park for a little bit. Shaq relished his free role and was unlucky not to score. Unselfishly chose to hit the bar to set up Mo Salah instead of scoring. Southampton were so shite they reminded him of Stoke, he felt sick and came off at half time.Jordan ‘Sideways’ Henderson – 7Seriously, he’s not just sideways is he really. Now i’m not about to absolutely rim the guy but he does a good fucking job wether you like it or not. Forever an option, always commanding as a captain should be and despite his ‘sideways’ passing he creates space and opportunities for his team mates. Thats his fucking role.Mané – 8You see that in the first half. Walking with the ball, beating two men and having a massive smile on his face?! Boss, isn’t it? Gutted he didn’t bag a goal but suppose he doesn’t have too when there’s opposition defenders doing it for him.Bobby ‘The Pirate’ Firmino – 8My obsession with Bobby might require some attention. I just love him. If I got a poke in the eye like that I reckon i’d be off PornHub for a week never mind work. Bobby however, isn’t arsed. He still has the work rate, determination and a lovely EYE for a pass. See what I did.Mo ‘Apparently Having a Goal Drought’ Salah – 7.5Could have had a hat trick in the first half. He could also be Shane Long. I know who I’d rather have in my team. Tried to back heel the ball past the ‘keeper at one point the cheeky bastard. Love that he was still looking to create, looking to set his mates up and even better than that was the sheer joy in his face when he scored.Love you Mo.SUBSJames ‘Ribena’ Milner – 7Why wouldn’t you play the best player in world football right now. It’s in his veins.Joe ‘Oh Shit He’s Not Injured’ Gomez – 7He’s just faced Cavani, Mbappe and Neymar and he did an extremely good job. To then play Long and Austin is like your mum and dad asking you to take your nan and Grandad out for a walk, no one wants to do it, but you have to get it over and done with.Baby Keith – 7Was just happy to see him to be honest. I’ve missed him. Give me your thoughts below. Ross – @rossic89  New to the Redmen TV shop! Bobby Firmino tees! Available for a limited time only!
