#4 Flop: Roberto Firmino

It was an off night for Bobby Firmino

Liverpool's beloved false 9 found his goalscoring touch again as he netted a brace past Leicester City last weekend, but he had a game to forget last night. With both his forward partners Salah and Mane finding the net, Roberto Firmino's performance left more to be desired as he looked off colour from the very beginning.

Despite attempting 5 shots, not one of Firmino's efforts was on target and he failed to create a goalscoring opportunity for his teammates, which is something he usually excels at. The Brazilain international failed to convert a super bass by Trent Alexander-Arnold, and he lost the ball a couple of times in the middle of the park. Klopp will not be too worried as his team got the victory, but Firmino will be looking to bounce back in the next game.

#3 Hit: Dean Henderson

It is not often that a goalkeeper gets some applause after his team loses 2-0, but Dean Henderson's performance today deserves some recognition. Sheffield United's goalkeeper has been one of the standout performers in the league this season, and he showed the world why with his display tonight.

Although he conceded two goals, the scoreline would have been much worse if not for Henderson's brilliant saves to deny the likes of Salah and Mane yet another goal. The player made five great saves throughout the game and was by far his team's best player in a game where Liverpool dominated possession.

Henderson's recent brilliant performances will be a source of joy back at Old Trafford, where he will be returning at the end of this season.
