Liverpool 2, Swansea 3: Man of the Match

This was not at all the result any of us expected. A mostly-rested first team, at home, against arguably the worst side in the league; should’ve been straightforward. Not for us, apparently. Anyway, the team was dreadful, on the whole, but Roberto Firmino actually managed to find the back of the net today. We name him First Among Equals, with the caveat that life in the dumpster is a great equalizer.

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.
