Very poor team performance
Reina - not asked to do much, but did it when called upon
Enrique - tidy first half, terrible second half when asked to push forward more
Agger - Good, just wish he'd be more accurate from corners - but he's a defender not a goal scorer
Johnson -
That's one too many poor displays now
Gerrard - motm says it all, some beautiful cross field passes
Lucas - can't say I saw much of him, so can't comment
Henderson - he was ok, not terrible, but then, not great either. Hard working but no end product
Coutinho - our build up play was always going to come from either Gerrard or Coutinho. Went missing for large parts of the game, but he'll learn to alleviate that
Downing - leave, please, just go away. Anyone can dress up in a kit and walk around the pitch - I'd do it for £500 a week
Sturridge - I was slated for saying this last game and I'll say it again; massive attitude problem, massive ego, very selfish. So much for the gaffer saying we need to find players with 'the right mentality'. Baffles me this one. Sturridge can be brilliant, but he's got a lot of growing up to do
Borini - if only we can translate this boy's effort and drive into Sturridge. Still sure Borini will be a tidy little player for us but needs to play more
Skrtel - what little he did do, he did well enough
I think Coutinho and a player like Borini are tailor made for each other. Whereas Sturridge and Suarez like to bring the ball from deep and run at defenders (thus nullifying Coutinho's passing contribution), Borini likes to run onto those passes from midfield. He doesn't create his own goals, he scores them from other players' passes
But all in al, a drab, aimless, game that should have been full of blood guts and thunder
