GK) Loris Karius – 8

It won’t get mentioned because of the superb attack, but Karius was very good today. Three top saves in the second-half. Not at fault for the goal.

DR) Nathaniel Clyne – 7

Quality as ever down the right. Best right-back in the Premier League.

DL) James Milner – 7

Heavily involved. Feisty. Milner all over! Great to have him back.

DC) Lucas – 7

Drafted in for Lovren, Lucas was solid in central defence, but will be disappointed we couldn’t keep a clean-sheet.

DC) Joel Matip – 7

Some classy interceptions. Matip looks at his best when he’s casually bringing the ball from defence into midfield. Really good in possession.

DMC) Jordan Henderson – 8

Controlled proceedings from the base of midfield. Classy skipper’s performance.

MC) Emre Can – 9

Scored and was absolutely everywhere today. It looks like he’s usurped Wijnaldum from the side for the time being. Excellent.

MC) Adam Lallana – 9

Two assists for the most underrated player in the Premier League. So classy and crucial to Liverpool.

AMR) Sadio Mane – 9

Two goals for Sadio, who was taken off after the hour mark to give him a rest. Constantly provides end product.

AML) Coutinho – 10

A goal and an assist for the best player in the Premier League. There: we said it. Coutinho was mindbogglingly good today. Watford couldn’t get near him at all. Everything he touches at the moment turns to gold.

FC) Roberto Firmino – 9

What a footballer. His touch was jaw-dropping today and picked up a goal and an assist in the second-half. His contribution for Mane’s second was especially superb.

SUBS:

Sturridge – 8 – How didn’t he score?! Hit the woodwork twice and was really good. So sad that he’s on the bench, but that’s just how it is.

Wijnaldum – 8 – Bagged his first goal for the club. Well done, Gini!
