Liverpool transfer news news
Brad Jones – 5/10
Had to be taken off for being hurt by his own blunder.
Kolo Toure – 5/10
Lasted only marginally longer and was taken off at the half.
Martin Skrtel – 6/10
Made no serious errors, but was the weaker of the two centre-backs.
Mamadou Sakho – 7/10
One of the bright sparks from the afternoon.
Lucas – 6/10
Gave away too many fouls, and didn’t reach the highs of previous weeks.
Jordan Henderson – 6/10
Kept things ticking over nicely, but nowhere near as influential as he could have been.
Steven Gerrard – 6/10
Still looking slightly off pace. Not what the team needs right now.
Lazar Markovic – 6/10
Better than he has been, seems to be finally getting to grips with the pace of the league.
Philippe Coutinho – 7/10
Looked dangerous at times, but perhaps could have done more.
Adam Lallana – 6/10
Another who didn’t meet the standards he’d set himself in the recent games.
Raheem Sterling – 8/10
His goal saved the day as he featured in an unconventional false nine role.
Subs:
Simon Mignolet – 5/10 Didn’t concede, but still peppers his game with silly mistakes.
Emre Can – 6/10 Came on for Toure at the half, protected back line well.
Rickie Lambert – 5/10 Should be scoring against teams like Burnley.
