Liverpool Ratings For Capital One Cup Defeat Against Chelsea – Simon Mignolet Heroics Can’t Prevent Agonising Loss

Manager: Brendan Rodgers – 6

Couldn’t have asked much more of his team, but was ultimately left disappointed. Balotelli have come on when he did?

Subs:

1) Glen Johnson – 6 – Did little wrong after replacing Sakho, a decent effort in a big game.

2) Mario Balotelli – 4 – How many more chances will he get? At fault for the goal, wasteful up front.

3) Rickie Lambert – 5 – Little chance to make an impact, wasted his one chance from range.
