Here’s our player ratings for the Reds:

GK) Simon Mignolet – 8/10

Did what was asked of him, was confident on crosses, and even kicked well.

DRC) Emre Can – 8/10

How is this guy only 20? Yet another assured performance, both with and without the ball.

DC) Martin Skrtel – 7/10

Marshalled his defence well and never looked troubled by Burnley’s forwards

DLC) Dejan Lovren – 7/10

Lovren has played his best football since Liverpool bought him last summer in Liverpool’s last few games. Is Sakho even certain of winning his place back?

MR) Raheem Sterling – 8/10 (Lambert – 90?)

Threatening and menacing throughout the game and never let Burnley’s defenders have a moment of rest.

ML) Alberto Moreno – 7/10 (Toure – 73?)

Unspectacular but solid from the Spanish wing-back.

MC) Joe Allen – 8/10

An unsung hero in the absence of Gerrard and Lucas. One again dictating the Liverpool attacks.

MC) Jordan Henderson – 9/10

Future England captain? Two wonder goals in two games from Liverpool’s 2nd in command.

AMRC) Adam Lallana – 7/10

Great touches and great vision, but struggled to influence in the final third.

AMLC) Coutinho – 8/10

Probably the most in-form player in the league, almost scored a repeat of his goal against City.

ST) Daniel Sturridge – 7/10 (Johnson – 83?)

First touch is letting him down, but give him two or three chances and you’ll always get a goal.
