stages but he and his defence gathered confidence as the match progressed<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Daniel Amartey \u2013 6<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Didn\u2019t really convince at full-back and needed the help of Morgan to try and limit the threat of Robertson on the right side<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Wes Morgan \u2013 7<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Held the Leicester back-line together<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Aleksander Dragovic \u2013 6<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Tough start for the Austrian but did what was asked of him and produced a solid performance<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Ben Chilwell \u2013 6<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Got the better of Oxlade-Chamberlain on the left and blocked one of his early opportunities fantastically<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Mark Albrighton \u2013 5<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Was required to help out Amartey in defence for much of the first half but did manage to push further up the pitch in the second<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Wilfred Ndidi \u2013 6<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Gave away possession on numerous occasions but had plenty of energy and commitment<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Vicente Iborra \u2013 6<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Took time to adjust to the speed of the game \u2013 this being his first competitive start for the club since joining from Sevilla \u2013 but grew into the game and produced a solid debut<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Demarai Gray \u2013 6<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Comfortable in possession and made some threatening runs at the Liverpool defence but final ball was lacking<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Leonardo Ulloa \u2013 6<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Was substituted in the first half with an ankle injury \u2013 had been fairly isolated up front until then<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Islam Slimani \u2013 7<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>One moment of magic by the Algerian took the match away from Liverpool<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Liverpool<\/strong><\/h3>\n<h3><strong>Danny Ward \u2013 6<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Looked fairly comfortable in the first half but couldn\u2019t prevent Leicester from scoring two in the second half \u2013 one scrappy and one spectacular<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Jon Flanagan \u2013 5<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Was anonymous in first half but, after the break, struggled to deal with Gray and offered little going forward<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Joe Gomez \u2013 5<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Starting at centre-back \u2013 was caught out of position at times but did start many of Liverpool\u2019s attacks in first half with good passing<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Ragnar Klavan \u2013 5<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>One of Klavan\u2019s better performances but wasn\u2019t tested too much<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Andrew Robertson \u2013 7<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Impressed with his crosses, especially in the first half, which were just asking to be finished off<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Georginio Wijnaldum \u2013 6<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Had a lot of the ball but failed to do much with it, was also culpable of leaving defence exposed yet again<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Jordan Henderson \u2013 6<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Looked clumsy at times and even got in the way of his teammates \u2013 did, however, play some clever passes in the centre of the pitch<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Marko Grujic \u2013\u00a04<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Guilty of giving away too many fouls and failed to do anything positive of note \u2013 on this showing he\u2019s a liability more so than an asset<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain \u2013 4<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Wasteful in possession and took countless poor set-pieces \u2013 not a full debut to remember<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Dominic Solanke \u2013 6<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Was lively and a presence up-front \u2013 promising match by the youngster<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Philippe Coutinho \u2013 6<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Created a few chances and sent one free-kick over the bar but things
