Simon Mignolet 8

Produced a huge penalty save when his team needed it, and made another from Gnabry late in the first half. Then another from Wagner in the second period. Great performance, didn't deserve to concede.

Trent Alexander-Arnold 8

How do you like them apples? This lad is special, and proved it on his European debut. Brilliant free kick, and looked like he belongs at the top level. Defended well – though the Hoffenheim goal came from his side - and showed more composure than several of his older teammates. What a prospect.

Joel Matip 6

Big early intervention to deny Gnabry, and better than the man alongside him. Would like to see him be more dominant at times, he doesn't lead the backline as Liverpool need him to.

Dejan Lovren 5

Awful in the first half, testing everyone's nerves and patience. A bit better after the break as Liverpool came under pressure, but still not anywhere near convincing.

Alberto Moreno 5

The odd good moment but the basic defensive shortcomings are still evident, sadly. Dodgy header in the first half epitomised the issue, and his positioning after the break was suspect to say the least. Some attacking thrust, but it's a reflection of a poor summer that he is still at the club, never mind in the team.

Jordan Henderson 5

Not great first half, when he couldn't get control of the game. Looked off the pace, and was taken off for Milner.

Emre Can 6

Didn't stamp his authority on the game early on, but grew into it a bit as the half progressed. Won some good headers in the second half, but not much quality on the ball.

Gini Wijnaldum 5

Anonymous for the most part. Hasn't started the season well at all.

Sadio Mane 8

Liverpool's liveliest player throughout. Won the free kick for the goal, and was a constant menace. Looks as good on the left as he did on the right last season.

Mohamed Salah 6

Missed a good early chance having run clear. Still a little rusty at times, but dangerous too. Might have done better with a second-half chance on his right foot. Something to work on, though his threat is clear.

Roberto Firmino 6

Quiet – and rather loose – first half. Failed to take big chance at the start of the second. Worked so hard without much reward. Provided the pass for the second goal.

James Milner (on for Henderson '63) 7

'Go on and wrap it up for us will you?' 'Okay boss' – Liverpool looked better when he was on.

Dominic Solanke (on for Firmino '84) N/A

Unbeaten as a Red.

Marko Grujic (on for Mane '87) N/A

Fouled someone. Made a block. Had a shot.
