CM) Lucas Leiva – 5
Did his normal job sitting in front of the back four, but offered little going forward. Booked for a horribly timed challenge, and replaced with 15 minutes remaining.
CM)Jordan Henderson – 6
Helped drive Liverpool forward in the final ten minutes, but supporters will be frustrated that their vice captain wasn’t able to produce much earlier in the evening.
CM) Joe Allen – 5
Failed to influence the game moving forward, and you have to wonder why Rodgers left the likes of Coutinho and Lallana on the bench in favour of the Welshman.
