![Liverpool players looking dejected after conceding a goal against Manchester City.](https://lfcglobe.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/man-city-vs-liverpool-player-ratings-fa-cup-2026.jpg)

* **Mamardashvili (6/10)** The blame for the loss does not lie at his feet

* **Gomez (4/10)** Far from the only defender to have a bad day

* **Szoboszlai (5/10)** Did not see much of the ball or have many chances from set peices

* **Gravenberch (6/10)** Not a bad day, but needed to do more 

* **Van Dijk (4/10)** Gave away both Haaland goals in the first half

* **Kerkez (5/10)** Unremarkable day

* **Konate(5/10)** Probably the best of the back line, but still struggled

* **Jones(6/10)** Good play for the first half hour then levels dropped 

* **Wirtz: (6/10)** Strong play in spots but was overshadowed by the poor play of the team

* **Salah  (5/10)** Popped up in good spots, but lacked the finishing touch. Second straight penalty miss

* **Ekitike (7/10)** Most attacking-minded player. Had many chances and then drew the penalty

* **Ngumoha (7/10)** Bright moments on the wing after coming on

* **Mac Allister (6/10)** Put a solid shot on frame

* **Frimpong (5/10)** Little impact after coming on

* **Chiesa (5/10)** Same as above

* **Gakpo (6/10)** A few good moments, but came on too late to make a real difference

* **Arne Slot (2/10)** I said in my preview Slot needed to start a more defensive lineup. He didn’t and the Reds lost 4-0, the worst loss of Slot’s tenure
