Liverpool's 0-0 draw with Fulham at Anfield left Reds fans frustrated as their Spanish coach endured three consecutive losses. Alisson Becker excelled, earning a rating of 7.0 for his solid performance in goal. Ronald Araújo, the Brazilian international, was rated 6.0 but appeared lost early on. Kostas Tsimikas received a disappointing 4.0 after a poor display, likely to be replaced by Chambers.
Virgil van Dijk, the captain, was rated 7.0 for his impressive performance despite being less effective in set pieces. Ryan Gravenberch, the Dutch midfielder, struggled and was rated 5.0 due to his timid and unsure approach. Dominik Szoboszlai, the Hungarian international, was rated 5.0 but lost all his duels. Florian Wirtz, the attacking midfielder, was rated 5.0 for his indecisiveness and lack of final ball.
Alexander Isak, the Swedish international, was rated 5.0 for his flat performance despite a couple of decent touches. Víctor Muñoz, the Spanish winger, was rated 5.0 but struggled with cohesion with teammates. Bradley Barcola, the French player, was rated 5.0, showing glimpses of potential. Substitutions made a difference as the game was stale, with Rio Ngumoha and Cody Gakpo added for more energy and invention.
Jeremie Frimpong, the Substituted player, added pace, while Rio Ngumoha brought attacking power. Andoni Iraola, the manager, made adjustments to the lineup, with Rio dropping out and Ryan Gravenberch coming in. The second-half substitutes were crucial as the stale nature of the game continued.
