Liverpool player ratings v Stoke City, with Suarez & Sterling superb

• 14 Jordan Henderson – 6

Typical combative display from the English midfielder, who constantly harried Stoke when in possession, and passed the ball simply.

• 21 Lucas – 7

Composed as ever in the middle of the park. Lucas won the ball back with plenty of tackles and interceptions, and was the best of Liverpool’s three central midfielders.
