Ibrahima Konate

The ECHO's end-of-season ratings pieces continue with an assessment of Ibrahima Konate, who turns 25 on Saturday

Having started the season with Joel Matip as his main rival for a place in the Liverpool defence, Ibrahima Konate ended with Jarell Quansah ahead of him.

The les Bleus defender was withdrawn as a precaution at the half-time interval but never quite looked the same player once he returned after a five-game absence, despite Klopp insisting at the time that the issue was not a serious one. A sending-off at Arsenal compounded an afternoon to forget at the Emirates as the Reds lost 3-1 but the best performance of the season came against the same side in the corresponding fixture at Anfield as he expertly marshalled the entire right side to allow Trent Alexander-Arnold to create in more central areas.
