Liverpool 2, West Brom 1: Man of the Match

As the official Reds Twitter account said: Phew! A strong first half performance contrasted with a less-energetic second act and a nail-biting final ten minutes. But Liverpool held on for all three points and Tony Pulis is left to ponder his life choices on the coach home. We're giving this week's MotM nod to Sadio Mané, whose clean close-range tap to open the scoring was easy on the eye but was much harder than it looks.

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 the month's polls and vote The Liverpool Offside’s player of the month and, come next May, those monthly results will help to determine your TLO player of the season for 2016-17.
