Sunderland 0, Liverpool 1: Man of the Match

Liverpool didn’t play very well, with sub-par performances all over the pitch. The attack struggled and the defence looked shaky and the midfield went missing for long stretches. Outside of his goal, Christian Benteke cut a frustrating figure. But he did score his goal, and Liverpool in the end got their win over lowly Sunderland—though it certainly seemed touch and go at times.

Now let us know how you saw it. Hitting the thumbs up button is a vote to move the player up the list—or to help keep them on top. Hitting thumbs down is a vote to push that player closer to the bottom. It's half Man of the Match poll and half power ranking, and we want to use it to find out who you think played well after each Liverpool match and, at the other end, who you'd maybe like to see given the next game off.

At the end of the month we'll go through the results of that month's polls to help choose the Liverpool Offside’s Player of the Month and, come next May, those monthly results will help to determine your Player of the Season for 2015-16.
