CM: Jordan Henderson – 6/10
Worryingly for Liverpool, their skipper had to come off shortly into the second half with what appeared to be an injury. While he was on the pitch, he had more touches than any other player [BBC Sport]
CM: James Milner – 6/10
The England international took on the captain’s armband for the first time after Henderson’s withdrawal. He was as busy as you would expect him to be, but missed a sitter from inside the box after the break.
AMC: Philippe Coutinho – 8/10
The playmaker was Liverpool’s creative hub once again and looked like making something happen whenever he got the ball, but did miss several chances to increase his side’s cushion after the break.
AMR: Adam Lallana – 5/10
The England international failed to have any real impact on the game and may be the one to make way should Rodgers decide to hand a full debut to Roberto Firmino against Arsenal next Monday.
AML: Jordon Ibe – 6/10
The youngster was shifted to the left wing and did not look quite as comfortable getting to the byline. Still had some bright moments and is worth persisting with as he has pace and runs at defenders.
