Couldn't do anything about the free kick, and generally fine but another stupid pass nearly put us in trouble in the first half. They're happening too often now

Solid defensively, Liverpool got little joy down his side

Not on long enough to rate, went off injured in the 5th minute

Exactly the performance you need at a place like Anfield, committed defending

Might sound weird on a day we lost, but I thought this was by far his best defensive performance since his arrival. Front footed, and really switched on

Tidy but not influential in any way. Conceded the free kick they scored from, but he had to play the odds after van Dijk was allowed to pass straight through our midfield

The best of our midfielders, tried to drive and make things happen but decision making wasn't always where you'd want it

Won some tackles, did give Gyokeres one nice ball in their box

Arsenal's most threatening player on the day, caused Kerkez problems, had 3 shots on goal which is more than anyone except Calafiori who also had 3

He's a player in the spotlight right now, and performances like this one won't do anything to make that any less bright. Made one great defensive intervention but gave us nothing in attack

Strikers depend on service, he got little, but his all round play was not at the level you need in games like this

Came on for Saliba, did really well, wasn't flustered at all by Liverpool or Anfield. Promising

Didn't come on soon enough in my opinion, but couldn't really influence things

A debut to forget, probably, but like Odegaard I felt he should have been on sooner. He should have taken that shot earlier when he got into their box.

0/10: The injuries – it's not an excuse, but as deep as this squad is to lose Saliba on top of Havertz, Saka and White, and a not 100% Odegaard, is so frustrating. Get the lads some new vitamins
