CM) Steven Gerrard – 6
His presence showed Liverpool’s intent of getting the right result, and he patrolled the midfield to good effect before being replaced late on by Fabio Borini.
RM)Jordan Henderson – 5
A difficult night for Henderson, who was clearly out of position at right wing back. Did get forward well at times, but struggled to do his defensive duties as well.
LM) Lazar Markovic – 8
He was good before being sent-off against Basel, and impressed again tonight, scoring his first goal for the club and playing a role in Sterling’s opener.
