Liverpool
Loris Karius: 7/10
Karius made his first start for Liverpool and kept a clean sheet on his debut. He was quick off his line but struggled at times in set pieces.
Nathaniel Clyne: 6.5/10
A typical Clyne performance as he was ever present in defense and attack as he played yet another good game in a Red shirt.
Joel Matip: 7.5/10
Matip has established himself as Liverpool's main centre back after yet another convincing display against Derby. He was good on the ball and defended resolutely when needed.
Ragnar Klavan: 7/10
Klavan too had a solid game and rounded it off with his first goal for Liverpool. He is now Liverpool's third choice centre back in the pecking order getting ahead of Mamadou Sakho.
Alberto Moreno: 6/10
Moreno had a decent game as he got ahead and played some delightful passes but his performance was marred by a yellow card in the second half.
Lucas Leiva: 6.5/10
The Brazilian kept the play ticking at all times and had a pretty decent game for the Reds.
Jordan Henderson : 6/10
The captain looked tired at times but dictated the tempo of the game from a slightly further position on the pitch rather than his new defensive midfielder position this season.
Marko Grujic: 6/10
Grujic made his first start for Liverpool and played a decent game as he showed immense work rate and some delightful passing range.
Roberto Firmino: 8/10
Firmino wrecked havoc on Derby as he showed some slick moves and his movement and passing made him unstoppable at times. The only thing lacking in his performance was a goal.
Philippe Coutinho: 9/10
One goal and two assists were the order of the night for the Brazilian as he completely toyed with Derby's defence. The Brazilian was the best player on the pitch by a mile.
Divock Origi: 7/10
The young Belgian has impressed whenever he has been given the opportunity and he didn't disappoint as he scored yet another goal for the Reds in a cup competition.
Substitutions:
Emre Can: 6.5/10
Returning from an injury, Can had a decent game as he looks to regain match fitness to start for Liverpool in the coming weeks.
Danny Ings: 6/10
Ings played a half hour cameo and made some smart runs as he should have received a penalty late in the second half.
Ovie Ejaria: N/A
The youngster made his debut for Liverpool as he played for the last 10 minutes and will look to add more minutes under his belt in the coming cup games.
