Nick Pope - Concedes late bracePope registered two saves and allowed two goals in Sunday's 2-1 defeat versus Liverpool.

ImpactPope faced four shots and seemed set for a clean sheet before Darwin Nunez beat him twice in the closing five minutes. The goalkeeper has made 10 saves and conceded four goals in three matches. Still the Newcastle defense is among the best in the league and Pope should be a safe bet to surpass double-digit clean sheets once again.

Miguel Almiron - Six shots in lossAlmiron had six shots (one on goal) in Sunday's 2-1 loss against Liverpool.

ImpactAlmiron shot nearly every time he had a sight of goal but only put one on target as he looks for his first goal in 2023-24. The forward has started and played more than 85 minutes in every match, a good sign that his substantial role of 2022-23 will continue. Almiron has yet to find a goal contribution, and has only managed to put two shots on goal in three matches.

Anthony Gordon - Opens accountGordon scored one goal to go with four shots (three on goal), two crosses (one accurate) and one corner in Sunday's 2-1 defeat to Liverpool.

ImpactGordon scored for the first time in 2023-24, a beautiful goal to give Newcastle an early lead. The winger now has two goal contributions in three matches and perhaps more importantly now has a consistent place in the starting XI. Gordon is playing in a strong attacking unit and should be a dangerous option moving forward.

Alisson - Ridiculous for winAlisson had seven saves and allowed one goal in Sunday's 2-1 win versus Newcastle United.

ImpactAlisson produced perhaps the most impressive performance of his storied career, conceding an early goal and then standing resolute while down to 10-men. The goalkeeper's best save came in the first half when he denied a blazing shot from Miguel Almiron. Alisson is up to 15 saves and three goals conceded in three matches.

Andy Robertson - Seven crosses SundayRobertson recorded seven crosses (two accurate) and four corners in Sunday's 2-1 win against Newcastle United.

ImpactRobertson found plenty of space down the left wing and peppered the box with seven crosses throughout Sunday's match. The left-back has yet to find a goal contribution in 2023-24, but he is still finding excellent volume with five chances created and 17 crosses. Robertson could see some light rotation with Kostas Tsimikas but is largely unchallenged for his place in the starting XI.

Dominik Szoboszlai - Busy againSzoboszlai recorded two shots (zero on goal), four crosses (zero accurate) and three corners in Sunday's 2-1 victory versus Newcastle United.

ImpactSzoboszlai put together yet another high volume showing with plenty of creativity and multiple strong chances. He is still looking for his first Liverpool goal contribution but he production elsewhere has been flawless. Szoboszlai also continued to take a role on corners, which is encouraging alongside other accomplished free-kick takers.

Mohamed Salah - Assists lateSalah assisted once to go with two shots (one on goal) and two chances created in Sunday's 2-1 win over Newcastle United.

ImpactSalah was mostly shut down as Newcastle controlled the match against the 10-man Liverpool. Still the winger was able to pop up for his third goal contribution in three matches with an assist to set up Darwin Nunez. Salah remains one of the absolute best attackers in the Premier League, with the plethora for goal-scoring and providing.
