Alisson Becker 5
Not always the most convincing with his distribution and fortunate to escape after one bad pass and went for a wander in the second half.
Trent Alexander-Arnold 4
Gave the ball away on numerous occasions and failed to clear for the opener. Nightmare first half with only marginal improvement after break. Subbed.
Jordan Henderson 7
Solid enough in an unaccustomed position at centre-back and exceptionally vocal. Shame he was let down by so many of his team-mates.
Fabinho 6
Alongside yet another new defensive partner, okay but outpaced by Ings for one opening first half.
Andy Robertson 6
Deliveries not on point and irked the referee first half. Better after break and constant threat on the overlap. Booked.
Gini Wijnaldum 5
Difficult for the Dutchman to find any space in a congested midfield until Southampton were pressed back during second half.

Thiago Alcantara 6
Found himself pressed repeatedly and not always able to find the passes, but began to become an influence after break. Booked.
Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain 5
A couple of encouraging runs but too often they ended up going nowhere. Understandably faded. Subbed.
Mohamed Salah 5
Not always on the same wavelength as his team-mates and sent a header over shortly before break. Poor pass when there was opening for Alexander-Arnold later on.
Roberto Firmino 5
Shot wide early on and at least pressed a bit before the break. Drifted out of the game somewhat after that.
Sadio Mane 6
Demonstrated flashes of threat first half, curling over and digging out cross for Salah header. Effort blocked second half and should have had a penalty.
Xherdan Shaqiri (for Oxlade-Chamberlain 57) 6
Couldn’t change the game.
James Milner (for Alexander-Arnold 78)
On long enough to be fouled poorly by Walcott, a tackle which was not penalised.
