The Reds’ right-back earned a point at the Etihad Stadium with a late equalizer after the goalkeeper’s errors led to Erling Haaland’s opener.

Goalkeeper & Defence

Alisson Becker (2/10):It’s difficult to imagine a worse performance from the Brazilian goalkeeper in a Liverpool jersey. Was nearly punished twice for being too careless with the ball before his poor clearance led directly to Haaland’s opener. Alisson may have felt he should have saved that one, and he was ultimately fortunate to get away with dropping the cross that resulted in Dias’ disallowed strike.

Trent Alexander-Arnold (7/10):

Some of his passing was outrageous, but his defensive abilities were tested as City repeatedly targeted him. The failure of England full-back Doku to challenge Ake resulted in Haaland’s goal. However, he made amends with a pinpoint finish for the equalizer.

Joel Matip (8/10):

With his ability on the ball, he made some crucial clearances inside his own penalty area and helped relieve pressure. He was one of the Reds’ better players on the day, as evidenced by his stoppage-time block from Bernardo.

Virgil van Dijk (6/10):

Solid enough, though he might have preferred Haaland’s run for the opener.

Kostas Tsimikas (6/10):

Rarely tested, though Foden did get a little joy against him. Set-piece delivery caused some problems for City.

Midfield

Alexis Mac Allister (6/10):

Strong at the heart of the Liverpool midfield and ensured Alvarez had a quiet afternoon. Lacked incisiveness in his passing to spark attacks for the visitors.

Dominik Szoboszlai (5/10):

Worked had but one of his quieter displays since arriving at Anfield over the summer. Couldn’t create anything of note and was substituted with 20 minutes left to play.

Curtis Jones (3/10):

Gave the ball away on far too many occasions as City’s midfield looked to swarm him and force him into mistakes. Replaced by Gravenberch early in the second half.

аttаck

Mohamed Salah (5/10):

Unable to get into the game as much as he or his manager would have liked. Never really got a clear sight of goal as the Reds struggled to create many chances of note, but did claim the assist for Alexander-Arnold’s goal.

Darwin Nunez (4/10):

Most of what Liverpool created fell to Nunez in the box, but lacked the cutting edge to put it away. Denied a headed goal by Ederson, but his game was defined by poor decision-making and a lack of composure in the final third.

Diogo Jota (4/10):

Barely involved as much of Liverpool’s attacks came down the right-hand side. Limped off with an ιnjury early in the second half.

Subs & Manager

Luis Diaz (6/10):

Played a key role in Liverpool’s equaliser as he drove up the left-hand side as a replacement for Jota.

Ryan Gravenberch (6/10):

Some good defensive interventions from the Netherlands international after coming on for Jones.

Cody Gakpo (6/10):

Added more physicality to the Liverpool forward line after replacing Szoboszlai.

Wataru Endo (N/A):

One for the final 10 minutes.

Harvey Elliott (N/A):

Not on long enough to make an impact.

Jurgen Klopp (7/10):

Will likely be happy enough with a point. Individual errors cost his team rather than anything system-related, and made good substitutions in the second half.
