Sensational at house to Actual Madrid for a second season working however restricted to simply 21 appearances attributable to damage. A severe knee damage curtailed his marketing campaign in January. Misses far too many video games.
Jeremie Frimpong – 4
A very disappointing debut season. Take away his tempo and Frimpong gives little or no from proper wing or right-back. Not adequate defensively or offensively. Was he signed simply because he is a superb man, is homegrown and is Florian Wirtz’s mate?
Andy Robertson – 6
His joint-best goalscoring season, with three, as Robertson emotionally waved farewell to Anfield. The Scot’s management qualities can be desperately missed however on the pitch the brutal reality is that he has turn out to be replaceable.
Milos Kerkez – 7
Began considerably shaky however Kerkez really grew into one among Liverpool’s most constant performers and ironed out the rashness in his recreation. His ardour and dedication ought to do him properly at Anfield.
Calvin Ramsay – 5
Seemed fairly tidy within the first 45 minutes in opposition to Palace within the Carabao Cup. Then performed one single minute the remainder of the season after that. Weird.
Wataru Endo – 6

Florian Wirtz – 6
A complete of 17 targets contributions will not be dreadful. However the German is anticipated to be the cornerstone of the Liverpool staff after Mo Salah. He is not proven sufficient proof that he can drag them to outcomes like Salah. Must be way more authoritative and fewer inconsistent subsequent season.
Dominik Szoboszlai – 8
Indisputably Liverpool’s participant of the season, though his marketing campaign has been removed from excellent too with in-game errors and a few questionable behaviour in direction of the followers. However produced a wonderful 13 targets and 12 assists, together with 5 direct free-kicks, and one among few gamers whose effort defensively could be doubted even when it isn’t all the time efficient.
Alexis Mac Allister – 3
A desperately dangerous season for a participant who was probably the greatest midfielders within the league the earlier two campaigns. 5 targets and 7 assists, together with the late winner away at Nottingham Forest, don’t masks some dreadful performances. Seems bodily unequipped for the Premier League though he is nonetheless solely 27.
Curtis Jones – 6
Not the focus the scouser needs he was, Jones divides opinion at Liverpool. He is some of the progressive passers within the squad and is so versatile. Had some good video games, some dangerous ones. A middle-of-the-road ranking feels acceptable.
Ryan Gravenberch – 6
An actual drop in efficiency ranges in comparison with the title-winning season however requested to play a distinct position, in his defence. Grew to become extra influential going ahead with six targets and 6 assists.
Trey Nyoni – 5

Alexander Isak – 4
Only a dreadful first season at Liverpool for the £125million participant who by no means as soon as regarded absolutely match. Constantly damage by accidents, the Swede scored 4 targets, however his marketing campaign was summed up by struggling a damaged leg as he scored away at Tottenham. At risk of changing into a really costly mistake.
Mohamed Salah – 5
Affected by his personal lofty requirements. He managed 12 targets and 10 assists which is respectable and had some massive moments – however was nowhere close to his tally the 12 months earlier than: 34g, 23a. Nonetheless one among Liverpool’s most inventive gamers and an all-time membership legend whose requirements on and off the pitch, over the course of his profession on Merseyside, can be not possible to interchange. As will his availability, although accidents have crept on this time period.

Federico Chiesa – 4
It began so properly with that winner in opposition to Bournemouth on the opening evening. It solely went downhill from there. Constantly miles off it when coming off the bench and desires to depart for his personal good.
Cody Gakpo – 5
One other who declined considerably from final season, together with his shows inflicting actual frustration among the many followers. Nonetheless managed 9 targets and 6 assists, however 15 contributions general is 10 fewer than in 2024-25.
Harvey Elliott – N/A
Keep in mind him? Performed seven minutes off the bench at Newcastle earlier than a disastrous mortgage at Aston Villa who he performed 277 minutes for regardless of not being injured. A tragic waste of the younger man’s abilities. Disgrace on Liverpool for not recalling him.

However his Achilles damage marred it and will hamper his means to get again to high type ever once more.
Rio Ngumoha – 7
Liverpool’s younger participant of the season. Highlights included a 99th-minute winner at Newcastle and the beautiful purpose in opposition to Fulham. One of many few gamers capable of go at his man. Has a very massive future.
