My player ratings:
Mignolet: Apart from one fumble in the sunlight he was solid all game and made an absolutely superb save from their corner. 8
Johnson: Hasn't played much at all but came in and impressed, made some vital defensive interceptions. 8
Toure: Did okay, drawn to the ball in midfield a number of times which left a big hole in the center of our defense, should have scored from the header. 6
Lovren: Doesn't fill me with confidence. Although he didn't look as worrying as the last game, their big striker made life hard for him and our defense. 6
Markovic: Didn't do much again. 5
Sterling: Much of his best work was in defense in the first half and he did this exceptionally well, tried in the second to impose himself and get forward more, looked quite lively but Conway? gave him a run for his money. 7
Can: Love him but yesterday he didn't impose himself on this game. 5
Henderson: Decent. But when we needed a leader to step up from midfield our man wasn't to be seen unfortunately. 6
Coutinho: Another lively performance, really enjoy watching him play but like the rest of our attacking players came up short yesterday. 7
Lallana: Disappointing. Don't know what it is with him, he looks a real lightweight on the ball at times, then on others likes like a magician. Flattered to deceive. 4
Sturridge: Looked as though he found it hard playing the lone role against a tough Blackburn defense, made a couple of his own chances and constantly buzzed about trying to make something happen but really struggled in the end to make an impact due to their defense and our lack of supply to him. 7
Sub: Balo, didn't have much of an anticipated impact. 5
