Liverpool player ratings as Alisson and five others really poor in draw with Wolves
Alisson Becker 4
Barely involved until passing the ball straight to Guedes at close range for the opener. Dreadful mistake. Solid stop from same player a bit later, and unlucky with Wolves second.
Trent Alexander-Arnold 7
Defended well enough and at least tried to get things happening going forward, not least his searching ball for the equaliser. Easily Liverpool’s best player. Subbed.
Joel Matip 5
Almost gifted a goal to Guedes before Alisson obliged. Some joy when stepping out of defence, and one good tackle second half.
