Tottenham player ratings vs Liverpool – 1/10 star suffers an absolute horror show

Tottenham Hotspur fell to a 5-1 defeat at the hands of Liverpool this evening as Arne Slot’s men marched their way to the Premier League title.

Few Spurs fans expected to celebrate anything close to a victory at Anfield on Sunday, even less so once Ange Postecoglou revealed his much-changed XI.

Tottenham’s focus is firmly on the Europa League, with a semi-final first leg at home to Bodo/Glimt on Thursday, but such a confidence-sapping, heavy defeat will do little to rouse the Lilywhite camp.

Let’s take a look at our player ratings for Tottenham vs Liverpool.

Tottenham player ratings vs Liverpool

Guglielmo Vicario – There was little he could do about any of the goals, but the stuff that happened in between will worry Tottenham fans. Vicario was all over the place with his feet, his passing, and collecting aerial balls. A deer in headlights far too often. 2.

Djed Spence – Another case of Spence not looking as good on the right as he does on the left. Struggled to get into the game offensively and nothing much happened down his side of the pitch. Looked so frustrated that Kulusevski didn’t pick out his overlap at one point that he trudged back instead of sprinting. 3.

Kevin Danso – Tottenham’s best defender on the day, but that says very little when you concede bucket loads. You do feel there is more to come from Danso in a more settled Spurs XI but he will want to see the back of this result. 3.5.

Ben Davies – Davies struggled with the pace and power of the Liverpool front line today. He does his best work in the box, blocking/clearing two shots destined for the back of the net. However, holding a high line just does not play to his strengths and he was run ragged in behind at times. 2.

Destiny Udogie – Most players have a torrid time against Mo Salah and Destiny Udogie can be added to the list. Salah had him on toast this evening with his cuts in off the right side. It’s frustrating to watch at times because you know exactly what Salah is going to do. Capped off his performance with an own goal. 1.

Archie Gray – The Tottenham teenager barely got a kick of the ball in the first half and was taken off at half-time. 3.

Lucas Bergvall – Had a couple of nice moments in the first half but struggled to impose himself against the best midfield in the Premier League. A humbling experience for him. 3.

James Maddison – Started the game well with an assist from a well-taken corner. Drifted out of the game a little after that and was taken off at half-time with an eye on Thursday night. 4.

Brennan Johnson – Couldn’t get himself in the game beyond one run in behind in the first half. He isn’t the kind of player who can take a game by the scruff of the neck, unfortunately. 3.

Dominic Solanke – At least he walks away with a goal to end his drought. Took it really well and was a nuisance for Van Dijk at times, but had very little to work with. 5.

Mathys Tel – Started the game well with a couple of bright dribbles down the left, but soon drifted out of the game as Liverpool took control. 3.5.

Substitutes:

Dejan Kulusevski – Came on at half-time but never got going. It’s a little worrying that he seems so far from match sharpness ahead of such a big Europa League week. 2.

Pape Sarr – Replaced Archie Gray at the break and got a decent amount of the ball but Tottenham were all over the place by then. 3.

Richarlison – Came on for the final 20 minutes to replace Solanke. N/A.

Wilson Odobert – Looked bright with a couple of attacks after replacing Mathys Tel. N/A.
