Brentford (3-5-2)

line 7

Raya was solid for Brentford and made a number of good saves to keep them in the game when Liverpool were at their most threatening.

zanka 6

Zanka set the tone for the match when he received a second-minute booking for a foul on Núñez. However, he was reliable for the rest of the game.

pinock 7

Pinnock did well to keep Nunez at bay during the Premier League game. However, he made some capricious authorizations.

I 8

Mee was one of Brentford’s leading artists. He was involved in most of their attacks and even prevented Núñez’s first-half goal from finding the back of the net.

Roerslev 7

Not one of Roerslev’s best performances. He played too cautiously, but still provided the team with him.

Jensen 7.5 (Dasilva 74, 6)

Good performance from Jensen, who recorded an assist for Wissa for Brentford’s second goal.

Norgard 7.5

Norgaard was safe at the back of Brentford. He also launched some of the most dangerous counter attacks of his.

Janelt 6.5 (Ghoddos 87)

Janelt didn’t give Brenford his best performance but he controlled the ‘controllables’ and ran hard for his teammates.

Henry 7 (Sorensen 90)

Henry was strong in attack and dominated his channel. However, he made some mistakes on defense.

Mbeumo 8.5 (Spouts 88)

Mbeumo won his battles 50/50 and was strong on the ball throughout. He also scored Brentford’s third and final goal of the game.

Wissa 8 (Lewis Potter 74, 6)

Another good performance from Wissa. He scored an exceptional goal that was disallowed but came from behind to find the net again.

Liverpool (4-3-3)

Alison 6.5

Alisson will be disappointed with the scoreline and the lack of communication between his defenders, but he made some crucial saves to keep Liverpool on the scoresheet.

Alexander-Arnold 6

Sensational cross for Liverpool’s only goal of the game, but failed to convert late in the second half after the ball landed perfectly off his right foot.

konato 4

Konate will be disappointed with his performance. He scored an own goal to give Brentford the lead and was stripped of the ball for his third goal.

Van Dijk 4.5 (Matip 46)

It was a night to forget for Liverpool defender Virgil van Dijk. He was hooked at half time after a disappointing first 45 minutes.

Tsimikas 4.5 (Robertson 46)

Tsimikas will have wanted to make more of an impact after taking over from Robertson. He was guilty of shooting a few wide crosses and missed a golden scoring opportunity.

Elliott 5 (Keita 46)

Elliott was booked and substituted during the match. It wasn’t a surprise considering his headlong challenges and his inability to create anything in the future.

Fabinho 6

Fabinho returned to the squad after missing the Leicester match due to the birth of his first child. Liverpool benefited from his presence, but the midfield as a whole experienced a downturn in form.

Thiago 6

Thiago had a stellar match against Leicester but failed to reach the same heights against Brentford. However, he once was one of Liverpool’s best players on the night.

Salah 6

Salah did well to threaten on the flanks on Monday night, but he struggled to execute his final passes.

Nunez 6.5

Núñez squandered a great opportunity for Liverpool in the first half, but scored a marvelous goal in the second. However, he was disallowed for being offside.

Oxlade–Chamberlain 6.5 (Jones 83)

Oxlade-Chamberlain made his 100th appearance for Liverpool on Monday night, scoring his only goal of the game.
