AM) Philippe Coutinho – 6
Showed his ability in flashes but the Brazilian’s frustrating start to the season continued. Hit the post.
LW) Adam Lallana – 5
Not up to match speed as yet, replaced on the hour mark by Raheem Sterling. A quiet debut.
ST) Mario Balotelli – 6
A frustrating afternoon for the Italian, who was isolated for long periods before being replaced.
