Here is Liverpool.com's verdict on Liverpool's performance against Wrexham...Giorgi Mamardashvili, 7: Showed sharp instincts to thwart a dangerous Wrexham opportunity by rushing off his line and produced a fine stop to deny Sam Smith before the offside flag went up.Calvin Ramsay, 6: Found it difficult to provide attacking support for Josh Abe but maintained defensive solidity throughout.Ifeanyi Ndukwe, 7: The towering Austrian is an imposing presence at just 18 and dominated his share of duels and aerial contests during this appearance. Impressively assured in possession and consistently positioned to snuff out danger.Milos Kerkez, 6: His first start of the summer left him restricted in his attacking endeavours.

Devastatingly rapid when bursting down the flank.Lewis Koumas, 6: Struggled somewhat leading the line and appears better suited to wider positions.Curtis Jones (sub), 6: Looked powerful and sharp upon his second-half introduction. Drove forward with real intent at times.Kieran Morrison (sub), 6: Struggled to replicate his strong performance in Nashville but delivered a reasonable display operating from the left flank in this fixture.Kostas Tsimikas (sub), 6: Should provide dependable competition for Kerkez this season if he remains at the club.

Made few notable errors.Rio Ngumoha (sub), 6: Deployed on the right wing, he began tentatively on the opposite side to where he built his reputation but netted the opening goal with a deflected strike.James McConnell (sub), 6: Maintained midfield momentum and consistently sought to play forward-thinking passes.Jeremie Frimpong (sub), 6: Advanced frequently down the right flank but his delivery into the box lacked the quality he would have hoped for.Will Wright (sub), 6: Showed consistent willingness to engage physically with the Wrexham backline and worked tirelessly without possession. However, he's yet to truly demonstrate his capabilities during this pre-season campaign.Harvey Davies (sub), 6: Had limited involvement following his substitution for Mamardashvili.Mor Talla Ndiaye (sub), 6: Another young defender with an imposing physical presence.
