Liverpool Tactical Review

Arne Slot deserves credit with the decision to let Isak and Ekitiké play together in the second half. Both men scored a goal.

The Starting XI

Alisson (7/10): Wasn’t tested much, but made a nice play to clear his line in the first half
Virgil Van Dijk (6/10) Drew the Red Card on Xavi Simmons, which changed the game, but failed to clear Spurs goal
Konate (610) Picked up a needless yellow Card. Now one away from suspension, but big tackle late
Kerkez (6/10) A few missed linkup plays in the final third, but solid overall
Wirtz (5/10) Played well in spots, but he could have done better with his chances
Szoboszlai (6/10) Solid as always in the midfield
Mac Allister (6/10) Picked up an injury late, but a solid performance
Bradley (6/10) A solid outing in defense, but was forced off due to an injury late in the first half
Jones (6/10) Did not spend much time on the ball, but avodid
Hugo Ekitiké (9/10) Is there a hotter man in the EPL right now? 5 goals in EPL matches
Ryan Gravenberch (6/10) Stayed silent for much of the contest but put in a solid shift

The Substitutes

Alexander Isak (8/10) It was a short outing for the Swedish International, but a productive one as his goal gave Liverpool a 1-0 in the 56th minute
Jeremie Frimpong (7/10) Nice assist on Ekitiké’s header
Federico Chiesa (6/10) Came on in stoppage time
Andy Robertson (6/10) Late sub in the final seconds
