Alisson Becker (6\/10):<\/strong><\/b><\/p>\n

In what might have been his final appearance at Anfield as a Liverpool player, the Brazilian made a sensational and vital point-black save from Schade just before the break. However, he was powerless to prevent Brentford from levelling.<\/span><\/p>\n

Curtis Jones (7\/10):<\/strong><\/b><\/p>\n

Once again played out of position at right-back but once again did a fine job. Was heavily involved in Liverpool’s best attacks in the first half and then made the crucial breakthrough with a perfectly-timed run to convert Salah’s sublime cross. Just a shame that the cross for Schade’s header came off his backside, but this was a timely reminder of Jones’ quality ahead of his own possible summer exit.<\/span><\/p>\n

Ibrahima Konate (5\/10):<\/strong><\/b><\/p>\n

The Frenchman was very strong in the air and also precise with his passing. However, he picked up a silly booking for the kind of clumsy foul that is typical of the out-of-contract Konate.<\/span><\/p>\n

Virgil van Dijk (6\/10):<\/strong><\/b><\/p>\n

A typically dominant display from the Dutchman, but he’ll doubtless be desperately disappointed that Liverpool once again failed to keep a clean sheet.<\/span><\/p>\n

Andy Robertson (6\/10):<\/strong><\/b><\/p>\n

Selected ahead of Kerkez in his last game for Liverpool and was solid if unspectacular. Allowed Schade to get ahead of him for the equaliser, but he wasn’t the only one caught out by the deflected cross and – just like his good mate Salah – the Scot received a fully deserved standing ovation when he went off.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
