Liverpool player ratings as Ozan Kabak suffers nightmare and Nat Phillips impresses

Alisson Becker 6

Exposed for the opener and fine save from diving Coleman header. No chance with the penalty.

Trent Alexander-Arnold 8

One shot over and curled free-kick off target first half, and Liverpool’s most creative outlet after break. Defensively solid enough and unlucky to concede the penalty.

Ozan Kabak 5

Struggled badly with the conditions and in a nervy opening was caught square for the opener. Booked.

Jordan Henderson 7

Forced brilliant save from Pickford before having to limp off with a hamstring injury. Subbed.

Andy Robertson 6

Unable to raid down the left flank with usual regularity first half, but began to find some space the longer game progressed.

Gini Wijnaldum 6

Got through plenty of work as usual but the energy levels are unsurprisingly not what they were a few weeks back.

Thiago Alcantara 6

Partly at fault for the opener but started to probe before break and kept Liverpool on the offensive as they pressed second half. Subbed.

Curtis Jones 6

Tried to get Liverpool moving going forward and pressed well. Replaced as Klopp sought a different approach in final half-hour.

Mohamed Salah 7

Looked lively whenever dropping off the Everton defence and stronger after the break, one run prompting brave stop from Pickford.

Roberto Firmino 6

One shot blocked and a couple of decent touches but needed to be in box more. Wasteful with one effort in closing quarter.

Sadio Mane 6

Like Salah, threatened when running at the Everton defence but final pass lacking. Twice could have done better with free headers second half. Booked.

Nat Phillips (for Henderson 30) 7

Some solid defensive headers and nodded into the side-netting at the other end.

Xherdan Shaqiri (for Jones 63) 5

Didn’t make much difference.

Divock Origi (for Thiago 88)

Not even the derby expert could turn this one around.
