Stoke City 0, Liverpool 1: Man of the Match

Liverpool came out firing against Stoke in a match that was encouraging on every front bar the injury one for the visiting Reds. Allen, Moreno, Lucas, Can, Toure, Ibe… the list of impressive performances was a long one, and Liverpool probably deserved more than the single goal they had on the night. Still, the win is what matters, and it gives them a major advantage heading into the second leg.

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.
