Liverpool half-time ratings
Caoimhin Kelleher 6
Watched a shot from Beto hit the post and okay distribution first half.
Curtis Jones 7
Willing to put his foot on the ball and play out from an unaccustomed right-back role, and positionally sound before break.
Ibrahima Konate 6
Hands full dealing with the unorthodox and awkward Beto but stuck to his task.
Virgil van Dijk 6
Made hash of one clearance to send Beto clear to hit post and not quite assured self first half.
Andy Robertson 7
Sought to get Liverpool going down the left and linked well with Diaz. Solid.
Ryan Gravenberch 6
One thrusting run aside, far too safe when in possession and little influence before interval.
Alexis Mac Allister 6
On receiving end of nasty challenge by Tarkowski early on and not much subsequent impact.
Mohamed Salah 6
Worked hard first half but too often ran into the massed ranks of the Everton defence
Dominik Szoboszlai 6
Flitted in and out of the game before break and not enough threat when in possession.
Luis Diaz 6
Saw a lot of the ball first half and created some danger but too often cut inside into trouble.
Diogo Jota 6
No shortage of effort but rarely looked like creating much trouble for the Everton defence first half.
