Liverpool 5, Roma 2: Man of the Match

Roma made it tough in the early going. Then Liverpool found their feet and looked like the best attacking team in Europe for 45 minutes as they ran out to a five-goal lead thanks to the standout attacking trio of Firmino, Salah, and Mané. And then Liverpool showed they can still be prone to defensive lapses and gave up two late. It shouldn’t matter in the long-run, though, even if it’s bothersome now.

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 2017-18. Those visiting on Google AMP who wish to vote will have to navigate to the front page and re-enter the story to access the non-AMP version of it.
