Player Ratings
Here we compare our player ratings with those of the Liverpool Echo, Goal, FotMob and This Is Anfield’s readers.
There was little doubt over who one of Liverpool’s star man was at Anfield, as Dominik Szoboszlai (8.8) deservedly topped the pile after an eye-catching showing from start to finish.
TIA’s Henry Jackson described him as “magnificent” against Bournemouth, declaring that “Anfield has a new hero,” while Ian Doyle of the Echo hailed an “outstanding second-half showing full of purpose.”
Meanwhile, second-place Diaz (8.0) enjoyed another impressive outing for the Reds, scoring in style and completing three out of four dribbles.
Next up was Jota (7.6), who recovered from a below-par start to have a big say on the result, teeing up Diaz and then scoring himself.
Mark Doyle of Goal feels that the Portuguese has “got a real shot of making the centre-forward role his own because of his pressing,” as he competes with Cody Gakpo and Darwin Nunez for minutes.
