LW) Philippe Coutinho, 8
Hit the bar and the post, and looked the most likely to be involved if Liverpool scored. Against a less inspired goalkeeper he probably would have hit the back of the net at some point.
RW) Roberto Firmino, 7
Still getting used to the pace of the Premier League, but was able to make a few contributions and could yet be a solid acquisition.
ST) Christian Benteke, 7
Caused Gabriel and Chambers trouble all evening with his physical approach, and was only denied a goal by a brilliant Petr Cech save.
SUB) Jordan Ibe, 6
Didn’t make a huge difference when coming on, but was perhaps unlucky to be brought on when his team were on the back foot.
SUB) Jordan Rossiter, 6
Another who didn’t make a massive impact, but the time on the pitch will help the 18-year-old’s development no end.
SUB) Alberto Moreno, 5
Made one lung-busting run, but that also left the Spaniard out of position when the Gunners went straight back down the other end.
