Playing at home and having much better form and strength than their opponents, Liverpool unexpectedly lost 0-3 to Atalanta early this morning, April 12. This defeat puts them at great risk of being eliminated from the Europa League and ends their treble dream.

It’s not surprising that most of Liverpool’s players scored average or lower. Among them, the stars in defense are the ones who perform the worst.

According to ESPN, captain midfielder Virgil van Dijk only scored 3/10. The Dutch player completely lost track of Atalanta’s attacking players and caused The Kop to concede 3 goals.

Those who work alongside Van Dijk in defense such as Ibrahima Konate or Joe Gomez must also receive a score of 3/10. Only left-back Kostas Tsimikas is better with a score of… 4.

Goalkeeper Caoimhin Kelleher received a score of 5 because in all 3 goals conceded, the fault was not entirely his alone. Others also scored 5 include midfielders Wataru Endo, Alesix Mac Allister or substitute players Andy Robertson, Dominik Szoboszlai, Diogo Jota, Mohamed Salah or Luis Diaz.

Liverpool’s top performers in the loss to Atalanta were Curtis Jones, Harvey Elliott and Cody Gakpo. All 3 were scored 6/10.
