12) Lazar Markovic – The £20m summer buy from Benfica has offered plenty in his brief cameos and deserves to be given more of a sustained opportunity.
11) Adam Lallana – Has had his moments, but the £25m man needs to do more to justify his huge price tag.
10) Alberto Moreno – Of the club’s summer buys, Moreno looks like one of the better ones, but he has certainly made some errors as well.
9) Daniel Sturridge – It is an indication of how bad Liverpool’s season so far has been that we would rank Sturridge in ninth on the basis of about three performances at the start of the season.
