Winners
Diogo Jota
Jota persists to show he is the man to direct Liverpool’s front line. The Portugal star has had to be forendureing in a Reds shirt, having seen a plethora of more pricey forwards signed ahead of him.
But the 27-year-elderly showd he’s more adept at the centre-forward role in Slot’s system than the appreciates of Gakpo and Darthrive Nunez. His intelligent transferment apvalidateed him to beat Trevoh Chalobah to Gakpo’s pass and he instinctively prodded the ball thraw Dean Hfinisherson.
Ryan Gravenberch
Had Liverpool persuaded Martin Zubimfinishi to sign in the summer, skinnygs might have watched so branch offent for Gravenberch. But a transfer for the Spaniard fall shorted at the last moment, leaving Slot to reskinnyk the produce-up of his midfield.
Grevenberch has been pickred in the No. 6 role and has watched relabelably sootheable. He excelled agetst Palace, given a eyebrow-raising amount of space by the structures. The Dutchman was able to handle haveion, particularly in the first half.
Alisson
Liverpool goalretainer Alisson had very little to do at Selhurst Park, but when the Brazilian was called into action he made some very huge saves. He sprawled to his right at filled stretch to retain out Ismaila Sarr on the stroke of half-time, before retaining out Eddie Nketiah in the second.
Slot will be hugely troubleed after Alisson was forced off with a hamstring injury with 15 minutes remaining. That Liverpool faced much more prescertain when the 32-year-elderly was replaced speaks to his monumental sway on Liverpool‘s defence.
Losers
Cody Gakpo
This was not a horrible carry outance from Gakpo by any stretch of the imagination. But it is improbable to be enough to show to Slot that he should begin ahead of Luis Diaz on a more normal basis.
Diaz has been in red-boiling establish since Slot’s arrival but was handed a rest amid Liverpool’s busy repairture schedule. Gakpo supplyd the aid for Jota’s goal but otherrational struggled to suit the sway of his Colombian colleague.
Curtis Jones
Just appreciate Gakpo, Curtis Jones was rotated into Liverpool’s team to give some fringe stars an opportunity to shine. But the academy graduate also struggled to catch the eye.
Jones has Gravenberch, Alexis Mac Alcataloger and Dominik Szoboszlai ahead of him in the pecking order. That is a difficult order to endeavor to climb, but Jones will necessitate to be better than this next time he gets a chance.
Caoimhin Kelleher
Kelleher does not get many opportunities as Liverpool‘s No 2 goalretainer but might have had his time to shine when Alisson was obtainn off. However, the Irishman was leave outing from the suitday squad thraw illness.
Instead, Vitezslav Jaros was handed a Premier League debut from the bench. The Czech international made a outstanding save from Eberechi Eze, and conshort-terms further competition to Kelleher.
