Liverpool (4-2-3-1)
Simon Mignolet – 7/10
Couldn’t do much about the goal. Pulled off some brilliant saves too.
Emre Can – 5/10
In an unfamiliar right-back role; Can failed to impress as he normally does.
Martin Skrtel – 6/10
Defensively solid, made some crucial clearances too.
Dejan Lovren – 6/10
Following up from his improved performance against West Brom, Lovren gave a good account of himself despite having to limp off.
Glen Johnson – 5/10
Barring the one moment of magic down the left flank late in first half injury time, a poor game from the former England international.
Joe Allen – 6/10
Worked very hard in midfield yet failed to establish any dominance in midfield.
Jordan Henderson – 6/10
The Liverpool skipper on the day was pumped up and worked his socks off to no avail.
Jordan Ibe – 6/10
Hugging the touchline for most parts of the game, young Ibe started brightly and later faded out.
Phillipe Coutinho – 7/10
Liverpool’s best player on the day as it is the case these days. Arguably the only player carrying a goal threat.
Raheem Sterling – 6/10
All smoke and no fire sums up young Sterling’s performance. No faulting his effort but the youngster simply looked disjointed.
Mario Balotelli – 4/10
And the nightmare continues; Italian striker Mario Balotelli simply looks like a shadow of the striker that ripped Germany to shreds in Euro 2012.
