Throughout 11 games, Liverpool find themselves atop the Premier League table thanks to the impressive overall performance of many players. But who have been the best and the worst of the bunch?

Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool have undoubtedly exceeded expectations throughout the first few months of the season. They now look like a sure bet for top four, and have solidified themselves as legitimate title contenders, possibly even favorites. It is tough to find much negative press about the way Liverpool have played so far, but not everyone in the squad has performed up to the necessary standard.

I will be taking a look at each Liverpool player to play at least 270 Premier League minutes (the equivalent of 3 full games) this season, and will rank them according to their performance on the season. The ranking will go from worst to best.

Players like Alberto Moreno, Lucas Leiva, Divock Origi, Kevin Stewart, and Marko Gruijic have missed the minutes cut, and it doesn’t make much sense to include them as it is very hard to judge their performance based on such a small amount of time on the pitch.

For a team that has attacked so well and scored the most goals in the Premier League this season, it should come as no surprise that the forwards will be held in high regard. We have seen something special through these first 11 games, and whether it keeps up or not, it is something that deserves credit.
