Dango Ouattara - Delivers assist in thrilling victoryOuattara contributed an assist and fired a shot (off-target) in Saturday's 1-0 victory over Liverpool.
ImpactOuattara delivered a strong all-around performance on Saturday and delivered his third assist in seven matches. The 21-year-old had two big chances to get on the scoresheet but his inexperience got the better of him, taking too many touches and lingering longer than he should before pulling the trigger. He also played his part helping out his defense when required. The forward will be one to watch, he will inevitably contribute more assists and get on the scoresheet in coming games.

Virgil Van Dijk - Misses two big chances in lossVan Dijk, the captain, missed two big chances in Saturday's surprise 1-0 loss to Bournemouth.
ImpactVan Dijk put in his usual solid defensive performance (four tackles, two clearances and an interception) on Saturday and was the Red's aerial target man in attacks from corners and free kicks. He was unlucky not to get on the scoresheet when a header he placed was cleared from the line by Jefferson Lerma .The regular starting defender has scored three and contributed to eight clean sheets.

Dominic Solanke - Strong team player in victorySolanke placed a shot (off-target) in Saturday's 1-0 win over Liverpool.
ImpactSolanke did not get many goal threatening opportunities on Saturday in a game where Liverpool dominated possession and attack. He put in an impressive work-rate being effective helping his defense, supporting the midfield, as well as making some probing attacking runs when he could. He was subbed after 87. Despite his positive contributions to the team he has been poor as a striker, scoring just three goals (0.1 per game) and contributing to four assists.

Mohamed Salah - Penalty miss in lossSala fired two shots (one on-target) and missed a penalty in Saturday's 1-0 loss to Bournemouth.
ImpactSala had a poor game on Saturday, he was not a dangerous attacking threat and executed a poorly taken penalty that did not even hit the target. He needs to re-find the hot form he has been in from his previous two games, where he delivered three goals and two assists. The regular starting striker has scored 11 goals (fifth best in EPL) and contributed to seven assists.

Andy Robertson - Places one shot-on-target in lossRobertson performed an interception, two tackles and fired a shot-on-target in Saturday's 1-0 defeat to Bournemouth.
ImpactRobertson was not at his most effective on Saturday. He did assume his normal role as one of the Red's set-piece takers, making some dangerous plays that his teammates were unable to capitalize upon. He also fired a shot that was well saved by Cherries keeper, Neto. The defender has not contributed the same level of assists that he did earlier in the season, he has only created one since December. From 23 appearances (20 starts), he has contributed to six assists and six clean sheets.
