Meslier - 6.5 - Probably not as high on him as others. Made some good saves. Some poor distribution at times, partly at fault for the second goal and despite the offside, got genuinely lucky for the disallowed goal when get got caught in no mans land. I think he got caught out of position in the first minute against Firmino, most PL strikers lob him and make him pay for that mistake also.
Ayling - 8.5 MOTM - Absolutely killed Mane, murdered arguably the best LW in the world. Best FB on the pitch. Through ball to Bamford in the first half was a cracker.
Dallas - 6.5 - Did as well as he could on Salah. Salah is just a world class player and went through him a few times.
Koch - 6.5 - Made a number of mistakes in the first 20mins (not at fault for the hb though), but was excellent in the second half. That play where he beat Mane for pace 1 vs 1 was top shelf.
Struijk - 7.5 - Thought he was generally excellent. His range of passing in this game hasn't been spoken about enough.
Phillips - 7.5 - I thought he was the best player on the pitch in the first half. Bossed the game, run out of petrol in the second though
Klich - 8.0 - Was excellent in defense and attack, capped with one of the best goals of the round.
Hernandez - 5.5 - To be brutally honest, terrible. Pass completion % in 50's, ball retention shocking and didn't complete a dribble and wasn't involved in any of the goals. Plenty of brownie points though. Fucked a clear chance where he needed to center the ball to Bamford for an open goal as well.
Harrison - 8.0 - Wow, looked like a genuine class PL winger out there. Gave Robertson a torrid time.
Costa - 8.0 - Wow, looked like a genuine class PL winger out there Great pass for Klich's goal, supurb nutmeg and run on TAA, was involved in multiple plays. Completed destroyed TAA multiple times.
Bamford - 7.0 - Usual workmanlike performance. Obviously took the goal well, however he mucked up a clear cut chance from a perfect through ball by Ayling. I'm still dubious of him at this level if he's not taking chances first time. You just don't have a split second to make a decision in the PL
Rodrigo - 5.5 - People missed the fact he was involved in the build up to Klich's goal. The penalty was obviously a shocker though,
Roberts - 5.5 - Pass completion % of ~30% probably says it all.
Shackleton N/A - Not enough time to impact.
