Liverpool’s disappointing run of results continued as they were defeated 2-0 by Leicester City at the King Power Stadium on Tuesday night, leading to them getting dumped out of the Carabao Cup ,
Having been under pressure for most parts of the game, it was Leicester who managed to break the deadlock 65 minutes into the game, through substitute Shinji Okazaki. Twelve minutes later the Foxes doubled their lead, as Islam Slimani scored a stunning strike from the edge of the area.
It was another poor display from Jurgen Klopp’s side and will add further pressure on the team, after what has been a difficult past week. Here’s how the Liverpool players fared on the night;
Made a sharp save to deny Demarai Gray at 2-0. Wasn’t called upon a great deal, but showed good awareness and authority in the box. No chance for either goals.
Returning to the line-up after a very long time, he played it safe and kept things simple. Was beaten for pace by Demarai Gray late in the game.
Moved into the central defensive role, the youngster passed the test with flying colours. Did not put a foot wrong and kept things under check for most parts with ease.
Started off well, up against the not so mobile Slimani and Leonardo Ulloa. Struggled after Okazaki’s introduction. Booked.
Afforded loads of spaces down the left-flank and made full use of it, getting forward and sending dangerous crosses at great regularity in the first-half. Held back after the break and was culpable for the opener.
Started off well, exuding good energy, putting himself about on the pitch. But could not keep up the levels with time. Booked in the second half for a poor challenge.
The captain struggled to have any impact on the proceedings going forward, which did hamper Liverpool, especially after the break.
Was the driving force for most periods in the first period, getting forward regularly into good positions. Subdued after the break. Subbed off.
Had a shot blocked early on. Struggled to get into the game in any way. Cut a frustrated figure at times. Will see better days in Liverpool colours.
Let down by his first touch on occasions. Worked hard off the ball, but couldn’t provide the clinical edge at the top.
Had a shot saved after a jinking run into the box. Was involved in almost everything positive for the Reds before being subbed off at half-time.
On for Coutinho at half-time. Lively but couldn’t have the same effect as Coutinho did.
Made his first appearance in almost a year, replacing Wijnaldum.
