I had a few beers so these are more than up for debate!
Kepa - 8. Don't think he could do much for the goal and was an assured display for me. Growing every week.
Alonso - 9. One of his best defensive performances for us, everytime liverpool got the ball they looked for salah time and time again, and he snuffed him out more often than not. Good defensive display, and his ability to be an out ball from goal kicks is so important when we are under the cosh.
Rudi-8. Growing on me every week.
Luiz-9. Lives for these occassions, g'd up the crowd, snuffed out danger and firmino didn't have a kick.
Azpi-8.Better than wednesday but still had a tough job against mane with little help from willian.
Jorgino-8. Another assured performance and was not caught on the ball much, if at all.
Kovacic-8. What a signing.
Kante-9. Could have done better for the goal? but this was vintage kante for me, sitting near the half way line I could just see him all over the pitch, first to close down players, quick to break, quick to put out fires.
Hazard-9. Just an unreal player and best in the league, it wasn't his goal that impressed me but the defensive work he put in was unbelievable in the second half.
Giroud-7. He tried and tried and battled VVD and gomez but never got much opportunity to affect the game how he wanted, but boy didn't we notice the difference when he went off. Morata lost the ball more in 10 minutes than giroud did for the whole match.
Willian-6. Average performance for me, so hot and cold this guy it's getting frustrating.
Subs-
Barkley-5
Morata-5
Moses-4. What a terrible player, lost the ball time and again, jesus how is he getting game time.

The clear cut chances I had in my head was Salah going past Kepa, someone’s header Luiz cleared off the line and Shaqiri chance. The CBs clearances were of course key but I did think both had good games

Yeah mate I thought salahs was not clear cut as he had to go wide (sturridge missed a much easier chanc e on wednesday) was on both their weak foots too.
Firmino chance I mentioned earlier, and yeah shaqiris was poor, but come at him at pace, still poor.

We won't let him go in January unless we have a replacement which I highly doubt

Think in your drinks you’ve overrated our players a little bit Nick lol. Both full backs struggled a bit, not awful but not brilliant either. As another user said Alonso had a lot of openings come down his left side, and got exposed badly by Salah for one of their best chances of the game saved by Rudi clearance. Azpi again struggled with Mane. Neither did anything going forward.
Luiz great, Rudi good. Midfield was pretty good and Hazard outshined Giroud and Willian who were average at best.
From the subs Moses ineffectual but not terrible, Barkley was. His game in possession needs to improve
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I thought Rudiger was excellent, as was Luiz tbf. Agree with your assessment re both our fullbacks, Willian and Giroud.
Hazard apart from one moment where he missed the 1x1 chance, I thought he was our best player on the pitch, followed closely by Kovacic and Jorginho.
Kante was a bit quite going by the standards he’s set for himself. Kepa made a good save, but still concerned about his abilities to command his area, distribution from him was very good though.

Kovacic was quality on Saturday, I'd say 9/10 for me as he was everywhere!
Morata, nothing knew but every single minute he plays shows what a waste of space he is. Saying that.. there were glimpses of him trying Saturday.. he's just garbage though

I don't want to sound harsh on him but Sarri has to start picking CHO over him when opportunities arise.
CHO, I feel is a special talent and Moses is just stifling his progress!
