Liverpool’s 1×1 against Villarreal

EFE

1

Alisson

Unprecedented

The Brazilian goalkeeper lived a very calm night against an inoffensive Villarreal who did not put him in any trouble throughout the entire match.

2

Alexander-Arnold

Spectacular

He was more of an organizer than a right back. He executed the corners with danger and did not fail to give ballon d’or to his teammates with a great repertoire of passes. An out of series.

3

Konate

Impassable

He did not give the Villarreal attackers an option. He has deservedly earned the trust of Jürgen Klopp.

4

Van Dijk

Roca

He was booked for a foul on Chukwueze. Excellent in anticipation, the Dutchman exhibited his physical power. He almost made it 3-0 with a long shot.

5

Robertson

Constant

His extraordinary game changes dislocated Villarreal on several occasions. A goal was disallowed after a brilliant assist from Alexander-Arnold.

6

Fabinho

Powerful

As a pivot he was extraordinary in recoveries. He knew how to read the plays very well, with and without the ball, and he was a wall. He scored a goal that did not go up to the scoreboard due to Van Dijk being offside.

7

Henderson

Offensive

His first center-shot was spat out by the Villarreal goal post and the second ended with Estupiñán’s own goal. The only ‘but’ from him was his constant protests to the referee.

8

Thiago Alcantara

Cerebral

He made a game. He held his team perfectly in midfield. He was able to open the scoring with a distant whiplash that crashed into the top corner. He looked very confident.

9

Salah

Vertical

The Egyptian attacker, fast and vertical as always, looked for the goal with ‘poisoned’ shots and golden assists. Precisely one of his passes was culminated in a goal by Mané.

10

louis diaz

Hyperactive

The Colombian attacker wasted speed, overflow and shot. Foyth controlled him in some duels, but his presence made the ‘grogueta’ defense suffer greatly.

11

mane

Dagger

He did not shine as much as Salah and Luis Díaz, but he always has the rival goal between his eyebrows. The Senegalese international played number ‘9’ and signed a goal bordering on offside.

12

Keita

motivated

He replaced the racial Henderson and showed desire in the minutes he was on the pitch.

13

Diogo Jota

revolutionized

He replaced Mané and as soon as he entered the pitch he gave Albiol a kick that miraculously did not injure the Villarreal center-back.

14

joe gomez

Resource

Klopp gave him the last minutes of the match as a substitute for Alexander-Arnold, who was applauded wildly by Anfield for his exceptional performance.

15

Origi

Oxygenating

He entered for the tireless Luis Díaz to oxygenate the attack of a Liverpool that was an offensive gale throughout the entire match.
