It was telling that he was withdrawn in the 77th minute, as Arne Slot seemingly no longer trusted him to remain on the pitch with the game hanging in the balance.Curtis Jones: 6.5/10- Like Konaté, he was repeatedly troubled by Chelsea’s attack down his side of the pitch after several strong defensive performances at right-back in recent weeks. He still offered a decent amount going forward — particularly in the second half — but overall, this was a disappointing display from a defensive standpoint.Milos Kerkez: 7/10- Was clearly the stronger of Liverpool’s two fullbacks on the day, with Milos consistently driving the ball forward with purpose while also contributing several quality tackles defensively.

This season has undoubtedly been a learning curve for him, and while he can still hesitate a bit too much in the final third for my liking, it’s obvious he has grown significantly in a Liverpool shirt since the start of the campaign.Ryan Gravenberch: 8/10- What a hit. It’s been a difficult season for Macca overall, but this was an encouraging performance from him on the day.Dominik Szoboszlai: 7/10- As usual, he seemed to cover more ground than anyone else in a Liverpool shirt, while several of his long-range efforts forced strong saves from the Chelsea goalkeeper.

He can be afforded some leeway given right wing is still not his preferred position, but it’s nevertheless been a disappointing stretch for the Dutchman.Cody Gakpo: 6/10- He didn’t receive much service in this one, but Cody was the most anonymous Liverpool player on the pitch before being withdrawn in the 77th minute. It’s another subdued display in what has been his most difficult season in a Liverpool shirt.Substitutes:Alexander Isak: 6/10- A brief cameo coming back from injury was once again uneventful.
