Andy Robertson - Three crosses against Ipswich Robertson registered one chance created, two corners and three crosses (two accurate) in Saturday's 1-0 loss to Nottingham Forest.
Impact Robertson was back in the starting XI Saturday, starting for a fourth consecutive match and still having yet to miss a start this campaign. It wasn't his greatest outing, as didn't register a single significant stat in the defense while only recording a chance created and a few crosses in the attack. However, he should continue as a regular starter, being one of the few defenders with a decent chance of notching a goal contribution in any game after registering five in 23 appearances last season and eight in 34 appearances in the 2022/23 campaign.

Alisson - Two saves in loss Alisson had two saves and allowed one goal in Saturday's 1-0 loss against Nottingham Forest.

Trent Alexander-Arnold - Struggles in loss Alexander-Arnold recorded one shot (zero on goal), eight crosses (four accurate) and four corners in Saturday's 1-0 defeat against Nottingham Forest. In addition, he was given a ye...
Impact Alexander-Arnold had plenty of volume, as expected, during Saturday's loss, but failed to make the most of those chances, often struggling for accurate end product. The defender is still one of the top options in the Premier League and remains an elite option in all competitions. This was also the first chance to see Liverpool playing from behind, which led to a back-three and Alexander-Arnold in midfield, a role that could give him more chances offensively moving forward.
SEPTEMBER 16 • ROTOWIRE
Diogo Jota - Three shots Saturday Jota had three shots (one on goal) in Saturday's 1-0 loss against Nottingham Forest.
Impact Jota shot three times but only one of them was on net during a tough loss at Anfield. The striker was brought off early in the second half as well after struggling to get anything going. Still Jota seems to be the preferred option in Arne Slot's attack, despite the poor showing. With the Champions League coming up there's a good chance Jota will be rotated more going forward.
SEPTEMBER 16 • ROTOWIRE

Impact Salah was finally held off the scoresheet during Saturday's loss, as both of his shots on goal were saved. It was a tough day for the Liverpool attack as a whole as Matz Sels produced a sublime display. Salah continues to be one of the top options in the Premier League and should be a constant contributor in all matches going forward.

Curtis Jones - Back on bench Jones (undisclosed) is on the bench for Saturday's clash with Nottingham Forest.
Impact Jones returns to the bench Saturday after overcoming a knock that ruled him out before the break. With the breakout of Ryan Gravenberch, it's unlikely that Jones will be needed as more than a depth option under new boss Arne Slot.

Impact Elliott will have to wait at least a month before trying to find time in Liverpool's squad again.

Impact Jones is once again an option for Liverpool, as he is expected to be on the team sheet Saturday after returning to team training Tuesday.
