CM: Jordan Henderson – 7/10
The captain was the deepest lying of Liverpool’s midfielders and so rarely ventured forward in the first half. Made a few really good runs after the break which could have come to something on another day.
CM: James Milner – 6/10
He and Henderson have played together all pre-season and already seem to have a good understanding of their midfield partnership. When one goes, one stays, never leaving the defence too vulnerable. However, the free transfer offered little in an attacking sense and his set pieces weren’t great.
