Alisson: Could do nothing to keep out Erling Haaland’s strike then beaten by a beauty from Jeremy Doku and some solid footwork from Rayan Cherki. 5<\/p>\n

Ronald Araujo: Got a cheap yellow card early on and will be annoyed that the first two Man City goals came from his side. 5<\/p>\n

Virgil van Dijk: Often pushed out of position to help Liverpool<\/a> deal with getting outnumbered in midfield. Perhaps could have closed Haaland down quicker. 6<\/p>\n

Jeremy Jacquet: Wasn’t a bad display from a young talent who is very impressive but this must have been a real eye-opener against a quality City attack. 6<\/p>\n

Milos Kerkez: Battled well with Iliman Ndiaye and pushed up regularly but lacked quality in the final third. 5<\/p>\n

Alexis Mac Allister: Grew into the game and put in a good shift but struggled once Liverpool<\/a> went down to 10 men. 5<\/p>\n

Ryan Gravenberch: Came in for the injured Dominik Szoboszlai and was Liverpool<\/a>‘s best player until he got sent off for a second yellow card. Naive on his part. 6<\/p>\n

Victor Munoz: Played with such a fearlessness and was an absolute nuisance for Man City, causing Nico O’Reilly all sorts of problems. 7<\/p>\n

Florian Wirtz: Simply has to do better, particularly in games of this magnitude. Was largely ineffective and made some poor decisions. 4<\/p>\n

Bradley Barcola: Sharp on the ball and did his defensive duties but, like Wirtz, must to do more in the final third. 5<\/p>\n

Lewis Koumas: Making his first Premier League start and the 21-year-old got stuck in from the outset in an energetic display that was loved by the Anfield crowd. 7<\/p>\n

Subs:<\/p>\n

Nyoni (on 66, Wirtz): 6<\/p>\n
