Liverpool turned in their worst performance under Andoni Iraola to draw 0-0 against Fulham on Saturday.The Reds didn’t look at the races from the very first minute of the game, and were ultimately a touch lucky to come away with a point at Anfield.With plenty of sloppy performances across the pitch, here’s how we rated the Liverpool players from a frustrating afternoon for Iraola. Was otherwise okay, and made a couple of fairly routine stops, but also looked hesitant when coming off his line at times.Ronald Araujo: 6 – Araujo has been brilliant for Liverpool so far and this was another solid, if unspectacular outing from the Uruguayan.Jeremy Jacquet: 8 (Man of the Match) – Saved Liverpool with a goal-line block from Gonzalo Garcia early on and was immaculate in just about everything he did.
Deservedly hooked at half-time.READ MORE: One surprise Liverpool player has just become undroppable after what happened vs FulhamMidfield – Gravenberch shows why he’s been droppedRyan Gravenberch: 3 – If this was the performance which was supposed to win Gravenberch his place back in the Liverpool XI, then fans have reason to worry. Though he has been better recently, this was a reversion to type for the German, who undercooked everything he touched.Attack – Barcola fails to sparkVictor Munoz: 4 – As he has been throughout his short Liverpool career so far, Munoz was a willing runner here, and he went close with a good header which tested Bernd Leno in the first-half.

There were some good touches here and there but Liverpool really need more.Substitutes – Mac Allister the pick of the bunchAlexis Mac Allister: 7 – Came on and continued his good form from Wednesday, setting Liverpool on the front foot and making the Reds a much bigger threat.Cody Gakpo: 5 – Couldn’t really get into the game from the right.Milos Kerkez: 5 – Was an improvement on Tsimikas after coming on at half-time, but didn’t offer a great deal himself.Rio Ngumoha: 4 – A poor cameo from Ngumoha, who overhit one cross, set Fulham on their way for a counter-attack in another instance and fired wide when Jeremie Frimpong fizzed a ball at him in the box late on.Jeremie Frimpong: 6 – Actually offered a decent amount and was solid enough defensively as well.
