Liverpool 4-1 Leicester City: Player ratings for both sides
By Tom Bogert
RM Riyad Mahrez: 4
Oh yeah, he played? That’s right. Nearly forgot.
Mahrez didn’t do a thing going forward nor coming back, a truly uninterested performance from the reigning PFA Player of the Year.
CM Danny Drinkwater: 5
Drinkwater tried and he tried and he tried to put Vardy in behind but it was all for naught. The best through ball of the day was Lucas to Vardy.
Hard nosed defending from the Englishman but was chasing shadows in the Liverpool midfield as the machine had perfect synergy all day long.
CM Daniel Amartay: 4
Amartay was anonymous in the midfield, not just chasing Liverpudlian shadows like his teammates, he was chasing the shadows’ shadows. Steps behind play, nowhere near the others.
LM Marc Albrighton: 6
Albrighton shined on the defensive side of the ball, he was brilliant in tracking back. If it weren’t for him, Leicester could have stood to hemorrhage a few more goals than they leaked.
Unfortunately for the midfielder though, like the rest, he simply didn’t have much of a chance to do anything going forward.
