Giorgi Mamardashvili (5/10):
Nothing he could have done about Doue’s deflected strike, although maybe he could have been a bit more reactive on Kvaratskhelia’s goal. Still, he made several important saves that kept Liverpool in the tie – at least in theory.
Joe Gomez (5/10):
Surprisingly picked to play in a three-man defence and he did reasonably well, making a couple of important challenges and interventions. Also created a bit of danger with his long throws, while his booking for a clean tackle was farcical.
Ibrahima Konate (3/10):
Rolled far too easily by Doue in the lead-up to the game’s opening goal and the only way he could cope with Kvaratskhelia was to haul him to the ground. Lucky to get away with a desperate, last-ditch challenge on Zaire-Emery that was initially given as a penalty. Just not good enough at this level.
Virgil van Dijk (4/10):
Was disgusted by some lax defending around him on the opener, but needs to ask himself why he always turns his back on shots. After criticising his team-mates at the Etihad, the skipper needed to lead by example in Paris. He didn’t.
