Starting XI Ratings

#1 Alisson (6.0/10): Really good saves in tough conditions, but surrendering two second-half goals drops the rating

#2 Joe Gomez (6.5/10): Was strong in defense and popped up in good spots going forward

#4 Virgil van Dijk (6.0/10): Nearly scored a few times, but could have done a better job with organizing the defense on set pieces

#5 Jérémy Jacquet (5.0/10): Strong defense in wet conditions, until he was outjumped for the header on the third goal

#8 Dominik Szoboszlai (7.0/10): Strong set pieces, but Liverpool could not get one in

#10 Alexis Mac Allister (5.0/10): Forgotten man. Name barely called.

#21 Konstantinos Tsimikas (6.0/10): Solid game. Nothing flashy, but a good shift

#23 Víctor Muñoz (6.0/10): Really bright first half but a bad giveaway in the second led to a big chance for Fenerbahce.

#29 Bradley Barcola (5.0/10): Not a bad game, but needed more touches to show his talent.

#42 Trey Nyoni (10.0/10): Showed why he was in the team. Not only did he score, but he intercepted passes and cut back on defense

#73 Rio Ngumoha (7.0/10): Worked magic in tight spaces, delivered some inviting balls that the Reds could not finish.

Substitutes

#6 Milos Kerkez (5.0/10): Another sub with a quiet game

#7 Florian Wirtz (5.0/10): Quiet game after coming on

#9 Alexander Isak (7.0/10): Immediate impact with the goal

#18 Cody Gakpo (5.0/10): The proverbial mixed bag, Great assist on the Isak goal, but a misplayed defensive header led to the equalizer

#67 Lewis Koumas (N/A): Late sub no impact

Our player of the match

Trey Nyoni. Rewarded the boss for his selection by playing the best game of his career. Look for the youngster to get even more minutes in the future

The Manager

Andoni Iraola (6.0/10): Not terrible selections and Nyoni was brilliant, but he needs to find a fix so the Reds don’t hemorrhage goals in the Champions League

LFC Globe Verdict

This is a bad loss after holding the lead twice, but it’s not disastrous. Liverpool should still advance if they take care of business in the other UCL matches.
