Watford were well-beaten by Liverpool with a passive display on Claudio Ranieri's first game in charge.
Here's how we rated their individual efforts.
Ben Foster - 6.5
Made some good stops and kept the score down as best he could. Not a lot he could've done for any of the goals.
Kiko Femenia - 4
Lost Sadio Mane on numerous occasions - offered nothing going forward.
William Troost-Ekong - 3
Really struggled and was often tied up in knots by the front three.
Craig Cathcart - 3
Simply not quick enough to deal with the opponents. Needs to be better.
Danny Rose - 3
Had absolutely no answer for Salah. Was all over the place.
Adam Masina - 2
A thoughtless display. Subbed at half time after providing little defensive cover and nothing going forward.
Juraj Kucka - 5
At least tried to do his job but had no outlet and constantly found himself on the back foot as a result.
Moussa Sissoko - 6.5
Arguably Watford's best player, other than Foster. Battled quite well, but was bereft of support.
Ismaila Sarr - 5
Made a bit of an effort towards the end of the game, but it was too little too late.
Emmanuel Dennis - 4
Some poor decision making - could have set up a few attacks had he been more sharp-minded but delayed too much.
Cucho Hernandez - 5
Looked lively towards the end of the game but couldn't find a consolation.
SUBS
Tom Cleverley - 4
Offered nothing to change the game after joining at half time.
Jeremy Ngakia - 5.5
Was a slightly positive addition to the match, but by then the game had gone.
Joao Pedro - 6
Looks to have bulked up a bit and added a bit of purpose to Watford's attack, but there was no chance of it being turned around by that point.
