Napoli v Liverpool | Player Ratings

Bit of a mad one that, we played so much better than we did last year yet we’ve come away with a bigger loss. Thought we were decent for large parts of the game and ultimately we didn’t take our chances. I’ve not had chance to see the pen back but I’m told it’s controversial. Bigger picture that’s the hardest game on paper we have in the group. It’s not the be all and end all. Adrian – 7 Dominated his area and his distribution was sound. Very unlucky not to save the pen. Pulled off a worldie in the first half. Trent – 7 Targeted by Napoli for most for the game and he soaked up the pressure well. Ok he had support but they had several options up top. Matip – 7.5 Passing, composure and decision making were all spot on. Even went for one of his little ventures towards the end. Virgil – 7 Same as Joel really until the end, we were going for it and he just got caught in possession which was unlike him. Robbo – 6 I’ve seen the pen back, it wasn’t a pen and I’m not sure he deserved his yellow earlier in the game. Fabinho – 8 Our best player by far for me tonight. Picked up the ball in bags of space time and time again. Decision making, speed of pass and everything else was spot on for him tonight.

Milner – 6.5 Snapped into challenges and was a calm and composed presence in the squad. Unlucky not to get booked too. Henderson – 7 Energy and drive that was required in an intense game of football, was relentless in the press. Bobby – 7 Boss as always but everything was hard lines with him tonight, just that final ball, touch or shot just didn’t come off for us. Salah – 7 Created loads, beat his man often but just couldn’t put it in the back of the net. Mane – 7 Unlucky not to score as well, frustrating night for him. Should have put Mo in but he over egged the pass.

Subs Gini – 6 A burst of energy needed in a tired midfield.

1. Shaqiri – N/A
