AM) Raheem Sterling – 6
Caused Basel problems, particularly in the latter stages, and did a better job than Rickie Lambert of leading the line when he was pushed further forward in the second-half.
AM) Steven Gerrard – 8
Scored a brilliant free-kick and drove forward relentlessly, but unlike in 2004, his personal heroics were not enough to carry Liverpool over the line.
ST) Rickie Lambert – 5
Struggled to involve himself in the game in the first-half, often looking isolated and frustrated. Subbed at half-time.
