Stoke City 1, Liverpool 2: Man of the Match

Liverpool didn't make things easy for themselves, fielding a starting lineup that wouldn't have looked out of place in the reserves league and falling behind in the first half. Despite their struggles, Simon Mignolet kept them in the game long enough for second half substitutes Roberto Firmino, Philippe Coutinho, and Daniel Sturridge to come on and make the difference that means the Reds head home with all three points.

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 2016-17.
