Mignolet, done alright although he was, partly, at fault for the goal. The save he made, he flicks back into the middle of the goal rather than pushing it wide of the post like a keeper is supposed to do.
Manquillo, was solid enough. Isn't the greatest going forward but as many will know, I'd settle for a defensively sound and somewhat dodgy attacking full back than a glorified winger who can't defend as a full back.
Skrtel, was sound throughout apart from the goal where I don't know what the F**k he was doing. One bad error and it's cost us a goal.
Lovren, I'd say his best performance in a Liverpool shirt thus far. Looks much better on the left alongside Skrtel than he ever did beside Sakho. Maybe slightly at fault for the goal but if Skrtel clears it then Lovren has nothing to do.
Enrique, was F***ing sh*te. They targeted him throughout the game, constantly running at him and putting him under pressure. First 20 minutes he'd made 5 mistakes.
Gerrard, sound defensively poor offensively. Don't remember people walking past him other than the one he got booked on. Dealt with the corners at the near post well enough. Going forward though, with one or two good long ball exceptions, he didn't give us any creativity.
Henderson, similar to Gerrard really. Sound enough defensively but then didn't do anything of any real note going forward. Needs to start taking a bit more responsibility as well.
Coutinho, did alright. Few nice touches, couple of decent runs but like he has all season struggled for that final ball. Better than he has been for most of the year though. Bit surprising to see him to storm right past Rodgers when he got brought off and the boss didn't look too pleased either.
Markovic, sh*t unfortunately. He really struggled to find a team mate with even the simplest of balls. He supposedly has express pace but he seems reluctant to use it.
Sterling, was sh*t but still in dangerous positions. We're pinning our hopes on a 19 year old kid and it looks like it's taking it's toll on him. Last year we had 4 front players who were all match winners with Suarez, Sturridge, Coutinho (on form) and Sterling. This year, it looks like it's left to Raheem and Raheem only. That ain't right, especially after forking out over 100 mill.
Balotelli, waste of 16 million. Never rated him, tonight proved why.
Lallana, one decent pass when he came on for Sterling. Also got caught dallying on the ball (again) inside our own half and then rolled over looking for a free kick. Still don't see the reason everybody is raving about him.
Lambert, one good hold up play and one daft free kick for trying to win a ball he couldn't get to. Needs to either get more minutes or be told to F**k off because 10 minutes here and there is neither good to us or him.
