Liverpool
Simon Mignolet – 6/10
Made some fine saves but looked unusually shaky with the ball at his feet.
Glen Johnson – 5/10
Struggled against the tricky Hazard. Baffling how he keeps his place over the impressive Manquillo.
Martin Skrtel – 6/10
Solid at the back in spite of enduring a very tough 90 minutes against the physical Diego Costa.
Dejan Lovren – 5.5/10
Struggled to stake a claim after being dropped for the Madrid game. Costa ran the Croat ragged.
Alberto Moreno – 6/10
The 22-year-old struggled at times defensively yet showed lots of potential going forward.
Steven Gerrard – 6/10
The skipper struggled to stamp his authority on proceedings and off the pace when defending.
Emre Can – 8/10
The young German’s best game in a Red shirt. Scored the opener and brought dynamism to the midfield.
Jordan Henderosn – 5.5/10
The 24-year-old was far from his best – sloppy at time in possession yet worked hard for the team.
Phillipe Coutinho – 8/10
Arguably, Liverpool’s best player on the park – great feet, work-rate and attacking impetus.
Raheem Sterling – 7/10
The 19-year-old looks jaded and far from his best. Yet always a threat when on the ball.
Mario Balotelli – 6/10
For all the Italian hard-work, he simply doesn’t seem to have a goal in him.
