Ranking Liverpool's 5 best players in 5-0 win against Watford | Premier League 2021-22

#3 - Sadio Mane

Sadio Mane has had a good season, and he finally managed to get his 100th Premier League goal. The Senegal star opened the scoring and was ever-present in the attack.

Jurgen Klopp was full of praise for his star forward and said:

"The special thing is, and we should not forget this, Sadio Mane has scored 100 goals without any penalties. I am not sure if he scored any for Southampton, but not that I know. So that makes a difference. It's a special number. It should be and will be something he will be proud of because it doesn't happen very often. But we don't have to talk about Sadio Mane's quality, he's a world-class player as well and it is incredible how good he is."

#2 - Mohamed Salah

Mohamed Salah is, arguably, the current best player in the world, and he showed exactly why in the game against Watford. Throughout the game, Danny Rose was spun inside out by the Liverpool star, and the defender had no time to get his game together.

The Egyptian scored a goal, earned an assist, and ran the show for Liverpool. Salah finished with 82% pass success and completed three dribbles against Watford.

Jurgen Klopp ran out of words to describe his forward, saying:

"He is for sure one of the best in the world right now. It's not about me to say who is the best. But for me he is the best. I see him every day and that makes it maybe more easy for me. But there is Lewandowski out there and people like that, Ronaldo still scoring like crazy, Messi still pulling out performances to a world-class level. And others will come. But in this moment, for sure he is on top of that list."

#1 - Roberto Firmino

Watford v Liverpool - Premier League

Roberto Firmino has been fighting for a place in the starting XI with Diogo Jota. But he has seemingly sealed his place for the time being with his performance against Watford. The Brazilian scored a hat-trick to help his side win 5-0, leaving Klopp with no option but to start him in the next game.

Jota will now have to earn his place once again after making a good start to the season. The Portuguese star was on the bench after returning from his injury.
