Loris Karius 7

The Kop wanted to rip his head off at half time for not releasing the ball quicker, but he deserved a kiss at full time. Made two vital stops under pressure – the second one from Yacob's close-range header superb.

Trent Alexander-Arnold 8

Showed some initiative and drive in a game that was sorely lacking it. A genuine threat down the right and put some excellent crosses in – most notably to Salah twice, with the Egyptian failing to convert. A strange withdrawal.

Dejan Lovren 7

Won some big headers in the box against West Brom's long ball tactics in the first half, and kept alive to the dwindling threat they provided in the second. No dramas this time.

Ragnar Klavan 7

Dealt with Rondon and generally tidied up well after his midfield offered little in terms of protection. Used the ball well and put in a solid performance.

Andy Robertson 7

Decent going forward, decent going back, but has had little chance to make an impression with such little fluidity in front of him. Game passed him by slightly in the second half.

Emre Can 4

A poor game from the German, the sort he can sometimes throw in Seemed to be caught in possession far too often, was slow on the counter, and unsure on what to do in possession. Booked for dissent after a mindless foul to sum up his evening.

Gini Wijnaldum 5

A 50th game for the club to forget before his second half subbing. He and Can struggled in the middle and retaining possession became a real issue. No creativity or penetration, and he found air instead of net after Foster spilled.

Philippe Coutinho 6

At one point took on the same player about eight times, before realising another four stood in his way on the route to goal. That sort of game. Began to dictate in the second half in a more central position, but his orchestration was too little too late.

Sadio Mane 5

A real off-night for the Senegalese star. First touch was surprisingly off, evidenced best when miscontrolling a Coutinho ball when through late in the first half, and sliced wide in the second with the goal gaping. Subbed.

Mohamed Salah 6

His ball to Firmino, for what could have been the opener, was sublime. Could not make it 20 goals for the season however when missing a glorious chance with his head from close range. Tired towards the end and looked like a man who came off after 60 on Sunday with a worry.

Roberto Firmino 7

Had the best chances of the first half but failed to poke past Foster first time, before his rasping drive was blocked. A shame, as he was good otherwise, offering some nice link-up play. Ultimately frustrated.

Substitutes

Dominic Solanke 6

Thought he scored his first goal in front of the Kop but rightly ruled out for handball, before another was cleared off the line. His arrival changed the dimension of Liverpool's attack but it was in vein.

Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain 6

Provided some impetus, even though some of it was a little haphazard, off the bench. Should have emerged sooner, if we're being honest.

Joe Gomez N/A

His ball in saw Solanke convert his disallowed goal, but it was a strange substitution if Alexander-Arnold was not injured.
