Liverpool lost the chance to extend their advantage in the race for the Champions League places by drawing at the Hawthorns. Who underperformed?
We have picked out four who did not have good game or perform to their potential…
1) Kolo Toure‘s individual error was the first he has made this season which has led to a goal, and it was a costly one at that, gifting West Brom a point. For comparison, goalkeeper Simon Mignolet has made four times that amount and only Jordan Henderson has suffered the same fate on one occasion.
| Player | Error Lead To Goal | Mins |
|---|---|---|
| Simon Mignolet | 4 | 2,160 |
| Jordan Henderson | 1 | 2,139 |
| Kolo Touré | 1 | 1,227 |
2) Aly Cissoko – Excluding his 20 minute cameo debut against Aston Villa, this game against West Brom saw Cissokho record a lower percentage of his passes than any other game he has played in, just 58 per cent.
| Player | Match | Matchday | Pass completion % | Mins |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Aly Cissokho | West Brom vs Liverpool | 24 | 58.06 | 90 |
| Aly Cissokho | Liverpool vs Everton | 23 | 64.10 | 90 |
| Aly Cissokho | Arsenal vs Liverpool | 10 | 66.67 | 45 |
| Aly Cissokho | Stoke vs Liverpool | 21 | 72.97 | 90 |
| Aly Cissokho | Liverpool vs Hull | 20 | 76.92 | 90 |
| Aly Cissokho | Newcastle vs Liverpool | 08 | 80.00 | 90 |
| Aly Cissokho | Liverpool vs Fulham | 11 | 81.82 | 61 |
| Aly Cissokho | Liverpool vs Aston Villa | 22 | 82.22 | 90 |
| Aly Cissokho | Liverpool vs West Brom | 09 | 85.29 | 90 |
| Aly Cissokho | Man City vs Liverpool | 18 | 91.89 | 90 |
3) Coutinho – Played no key passes compared to the four would-be-assists he created in the Merseyside Derby crushing of Everton last week:
| Player | Match | Matchday | Key passes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Philippe Coutinho | West Brom vs Liverpool | 24 | 0 |
| Philippe Coutinho | Liverpool vs Everton | 23 | 4 |
4) Jordan Henderson – The draw was one of just four games all season Henderson has had a combined one attempted shot, key pass, or fewer. Also included in the below table for comparison is his dominant display against Fulham earlier in the season showing what he is capable of.
| Player | Match | Matchday | Total Scoring Att | Key passes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Jordan Henderson | Hull vs Liverpool | 13 | 0 | 1 |
| Jordan Henderson | West Brom vs Liverpool | 24 | 0 | 1 |
| Jordan Henderson | Everton vs Liverpool | 12 | 0 | 0 |
| Jordan Henderson | Stoke vs Liverpool | 21 | 1 | 0 |
| Jordan Henderson | Liverpool vs Fulham | 11 | 3 | 6 |
