Liverpool’s performance at Anfield fell short of Jürgen Klopp’s rallying cry to the crowd. They conceded an early goal but managed to equalize through Mohamed Salah’s impressive strike. Despite their efforts, they couldn’t find a winning goal and missed the opportunity to claim the top spot in the league table for Christmas. Trent Alexander-Arnold stood out with his influential play, but his second-half miss proved costly. On the other hand, the selected attacking duo struggled to make an impact. Liverpool also faced concern over Kostas Tsimikas’ ιnjury.

Alisson Becker (5/10):

Questions will be raised about Alisson’s positioning during Gabriel’s goal, as he seemed unsure of his position. However, he was not heavily tested thereafter.

Trent Alexander-Arnold (7/10):

Demonstrated his exceptional passing ability throughout the game. However, he will surely regret his shot that Һit the crossbar during Liverpool’s second-half counter-аttаck.

Ibrahima Konate (8/10):

Apart from a couple of nervy moments dealing with high balls, Konate was excellent in covering the spaces left by Alexander-Arnold’s ventures into midfield. He now needs to maintain consistency.

Virgil van Dijk (8/10):

Amidst the chaos on the pitch, Van Dijk remained a calm and composed presence. Although Saliba also performed well, Van Dijk continues to be the Premier League’s top center-back.

Kostas Tsimikas (6/10):

Had a decent performance before being forced off the pitch due to a collarbone ιnjury sustained from colliding with Klopp on the touchline.

Wataru Endo (7/10):

Made several crucial tackles and interceptions, often in dangerous attacking areas. Displayed a respectable range of passing as well.

Dominik Szoboszlai (4/10):

Showed promise off the ball but struggled with his passing and shooting accuracy. His inefficiency resulted in Liverpool attacks frequently fizzling out.

Curtis Jones (6/10):

Given a starting opportunity after his impressive performance midweek, Jones put in a diligent defensive effort and demonstrated quick decision-making when in possession.

Mohamed Salah (6/10):

Impressive finish to equalize for Liverpool, but also showed some sloppy touches while dribbling and made a few risky passes in dangerous areas. His performance seems to have declined since the early weeks of the season.

Cody Gakpo (5/10):

Given a rare start over Nunez, but struggled to make an impact against Arsenal’s center-backs due to a lack of physicality. Showed some improvement in the second half but was substituted in the final quarter of the game.

Luis Diaz (4/10):

Had opportunities to trouble Ben White but failed to capitalize on them. Unfortunately, he had to be substituted in the second half due to a suspected knee ιnjury.
