LIVERPOOL players rating vs Spurs
Alisson - 6
Mostly a spectator. Given no chance by Hojbjerg for Tottenham's goal with a stop from Son after 30 minutes amounting to his only save of the night.
Trent Alexander-Arnold - 9
The tide of public opinion has turned against Alexander-Arnold of late but his ambition was undimmed on Thursday night as he underlined what an asset he is to any team. Having played throughout the first half as an auxiliary attacker, he was still far enough up the pitch after the restart to rifle in Liverpool's second and then created the champions' third with the searching cross that Mane smashed in.
Joel Matip - 5
Far from reassuring even before his half-time substitution. Looked shaky at best and seemed to have little idea as to Son's whereabouts for most of the first half. Are Liverpool really not going to buy a centre-half before the window shuts?
Jordan Henderson - 7
Still doing a very solid job in the unfamiliar position of centre-half, albeit with the caveat Liverpool's defence was largely untested for the final 60 minutes. Expect Henderson to be in defence for a couple more weeks at least following Matip's withdrawal and the news of an injury to Firmino.
Andy Robertson - 6
Quiet - and so much so that you wondered if it was a deliberate and designed tactic for Alexander-Arnold to rampage forward while Robertson stood back and tucked in alongside Henderson.
James Milner - 6
No lack of effort or extortion, but offered little to convince that Liverpool have a ready-made solution to their 'third midfielder issue' whenever Henderson has to line up in defence. Build-up play lacked crispness and reluctance to run in behind Tottenham's 10-man defence was a source of frustration.
Thiago - 7
Surely the best passer in the Premier League. There was a moment in the first half when he pinged a crossfield pass with the outside of his foot purely, it seemed, just for the sheer fun of it. Cautioned for a rather rash tackle, his evening ended early after a nasty clash of heads, but with Thiago it's all about the passing.
Georginio Wijnaldum - 7
It's only if and when he leaves in the summer that we'll realise how important Wijnaldum is to the balance and power of Liverpool's midfield.
Firmino - 7
Not quite at his best but offered plenty in terms of build-up and link play, and was in the right place at the right time to put Liverpool ahead on the stroke of the interval.
Mohamed Salah - 8
Has been strangely hesitant and subdued in recent weeks, but buzzed around the Tottenham defence with real menace throughout. Should have scored a goal of his own within 30 seconds of the restart before having a 'goal' rather harshly ruled out by VAR. If you've taken him out of your Fantasy Football team of late, it may be worth considering a recall.
Sadio Mane - 8
If at first you don't succeed: Missed a golden opportunity to score in the opening minute, was twice denied by Lloris thereafter, but finally made the breakthrough just before the break to create Firmino's unmissable opener. Then claimed another assist immediately after the break when his shot was palmed out to Alexander-Arnold before adding the gloss to the scoreline with a rasping finish.
Subs
Nat Phillips - 6
Was booked within a few minutes of his introduction but, with Kane off the pitch, that was pretty much the extent of his involvement.
Curtis Jones - N/A
Given the final 10 minutes.
Divock Origi - N/A
Given half that.
Man of the match TAA.

Matip lol huyu jamaa mechi 3 kucheza bila majeruhi mbona mtihani sana kwake..
Hapa utasikia nje wiki 3...
Mpaka sasa ni kwamba hatuna CBl wala CBR aliemzima kikosini...
Nats Phillips jana alionyesha uhai kiasi fulani..
Fununu ni kwamba klabu ipo hatua za mwisho kumnasa CB mmoja kwa mkopo.. Wana siku 3 kumaliza huo usajili...

Keita na Thiago kama wanacheza role moja,
unahitaji kuwa Midfield wawili wanaokaba kama Fab na Hend au Gin ili Keita au Thiago kupata free role kama 8 ndio maana jana umeona Thiago alikuwa sana mbele kupeleka mipira.

Ninavyojua mimi ni kosa kwa mtu kuedit alichoandika mwingine ili kumislead. Inaweza kupelekea ban.
Hiki ulichofanya is too low. Pengine umefanya hivi for few likes na comment ila sijapenda ulichofanya.
