Joe Gomez: Having waited a long time to get back into Liverpool's team, Gomez looks like he's not about to waste his big chance. He was outstanding here, assured alongside his great mate Virgil van Dijk at centre-back and then positive and strong at right-back in the closing stages. Save for one loose clearance, which almost led to a goal for Tom Davies, this was the England international at his best. Joel Matip is fit again, but the shirt is Gomez's for now, surely?Jordan Pickford:He may not have particularly happy memories of this fixture, but the England goalkeeper will remember this derby for quite some time. He saved Everton in the first half, acrobatically turning Darwin Nunez's dipping volley onto the crossbar, and after the break he was superb in repelling Nunez, Roberto Firmino (three times), Fabinho and, in stoppage time, Salah. It looked like Pickford got the faintest of touches to the Egyptian's strike, which rebounded to safety off the post. If he got a bit lucky, he deserved it. He definitely earned his clean sheet."WOW" was the reaction from Klopp after learning Pickford had made eight saves in total.Roberto Firmino:Introduced at half-time, the in-form Brazilian was Liverpool's sharpest and most threatening player thereafter. Drifting into space behind Nunez, Firmino's elusive movement and smart passes enabled the visitors to play properly for the first time. Had it not been for Pickford, once, twice, thrice, the No.9 would have won the game for his side.The Goodison atmosphere:Talk about a place transformed. In this fixture last year, Liverpool fans sang ‘they’re gonna boo in a minute’ and they were right. The unhappy tenure of Rafa Benitez had turned Goodison, never the most patient of places at the best of times, into a bearpit of the wrong kind, one which seemed to have a negative effect on Everton’s players rather than the opposition. It’s different now, with Frank Lampard harnessing the power of the home support better than Benitez ever could. From the bus welcome beforehand, all blue smoke and passionate singing, to the way Blues fans stuck with their team (and against both Liverpool and referee Anthony Taylor) throughout the game, this was a different Goodison. A better one, for sure.

The Winners

Mohamed Salah:The grimace said it all. It just wasn't the Egyptian's day.That's three games without a goal now for Salah, although he must have thought he'd won it for Liverpool when he swept Luis Diaz's pass goalwards in the fifth minute of injury time. But through a combination of Pickford and the post, he was to be denied. It was his best - only - chance of a frustrating afternoon, in which he was played well by Vitalii Mykolenko and left reeling from a piece of outrageous skill from Alex Iwobi in the second half. Beware Napoli and Wolves, mind. Salah's droughts don't tend to last too long.Luis Diaz:Salah was not the only Liverpool attacker to enjoy an irritating afternoon. Diaz, too, struggled to make an impact, although he was inches away from firing his side ahead in the first half when his effort came back off the woodwork.Like Salah, there's never any lack of endeavour with the Colombian, who was still running hard in the final seconds, but too often he did his work too far away from goal, and at times his tendency to cut inside from the left was a little predictable. Credit to Nathan Patterson, the young Everton full back, who competed gamely.The minority of idiots in the city of Liverpool:There was a touching show of solidarity before kick off here, with a blue and red banner unfurled across the divide between the home and away sections of the Bullens Road stand.'Enough is enough. Our city in unity’, it read, a message of solidarity in the wake of the murder of nine-year-old Olivie Pratt-Korbel, which has left the city in a state of shock.There was another in the ninth minute of the game, as all four sides of Goodison Park began a chorus of applause. The planned singing of 'Merseyside, Merseyside', didn't really materialise, but the message was clear; one city, united.Spare a thought, then, for the idiots who chose the morning of the game to vandalise a series of buildings and murals close to Anfield and Goodison, spraying them with profanities, graffiti and, in one instance, racist abuse. On a day when the city of Liverpool went for unity, a minority chose idiocy. They cannot ever be allowed to win.

The Losers

Alisson Becker (8/10): Safe hands to deny Gordon and a brilliant spread to stop Maupay after half-time. Equally good to keep out McNeil's deflected late shot.Trent Alexander-Arnold (6/10):Distribution wasn't what it can be, and again he was replaced early in the second half.Kostas Tsimikas (6/10):Preferred to Robertson, he was a little erratic in the first half and made some rash challenges. Better going forward though missed a good close-range chance.Joe Gomez (8/10):Got away with a poor clearance which led to Davies hitting the post, but was otherwise very assured. He's playing well and deserves to keep his place.Virgil van Dijk (6/10):Some fine diagonals and always comfortable in the air, but a little more rattled in the second half, when he was booked for a nasty looking foul on Onana.

Liverpool Ratings: Defence

Fabinho (7/10):Clattered early by Davies but regained his composure and did well generally. Denied a goal by Pickford, as were several others.Fabio Carvalho (5/10):Handed his first competitive start, he struggled to make an impact, was clattered by Onana and then replaced at half time.Harvey Elliott (6/10):Some neat touches but not enough of them. Wasn't a game for him, really, but he did what he could and will benefit from the experience.

Midfield

Mohamed Salah (5/10): Kept very quiet in the first half, when he was almost exclusively stationed on the right touchline. Not his day, though his effort could not be faulted. Almost won it in stoppage time.Luis Diaz (6/10):Hit the post just before half time but was otherwise pretty quiet. Kept going and created Salah's late chance. Needs to get more central.Darwin Nunez (6/10):Took 15 minutes to register his first touch but almost marked his derby debut with a stunner before half-time. Only a fine Pickford save denied him, and he continued to plug away and take shots, though they weren't always the cleanest.

Attack

Roberto Firmino (7/10):On at half time, he was Liverpool's most composed player and was three times denied well by Pickford in the Everton goal.Andy Robertson (6/10):Added legs and a little attacking quality.James Milner (5/10):On at right back again and had a hard time against Gordon and Maupay. Moved into midfield after that but looked leggy.Diogo Jota (5/10):Wasted a good counter-attacking chance with a poor pass.Joel Matip (6/10): Helped keep the pressure on late on with some smart passing, but his last one was a poor one.Jurgen Klopp (6/10):Gambled with his selection, starting Nunez, Tsimikas and Carvalho. Wasn't rewarded. Firmino sub improved Liverpool immensely.
