Szoboszlai leads way but others must do better

And that is very much prevalent in how so many individuals have struggled to get anywhere near their best for a variety of reasons, with the difficulties of most of the new signings adjusting to new roles and methods having been apparent.

The ECHO has rated Liverpool's squad throughout the 18 games they have played in all competitions this season, marking them out of 10 for every appearance in which they played for at least 15 minutes.

The men who have impressed

Dominik Szoboszlai (average rating 7.25) remains the undisputed player of the season with his outstanding displays last week against Aston Villa and Real Madrid underlining that fact.

Alisson Becker (6.78) was in good form until hamstrung but could be back after the current international break, while the absence of Ryan Gravenberch (6.59) was keenly felt in midfield before his recent return.
