Not sure if it has been discussed, just finished watching the game again. For me, this game changed just after Milner did something stupid. Already on a yellow, he loses control of the ball, slips and then takes a wild swipe to try and regain possession. If that connected, he's getting sent off, no doubts about it and that would have changed the whole game. But after that, we just took charge of the game.
Looking at the game as a whole though, is Mignolet the first player to get a n/a mark after playing the full ninety? More showed some in-game intelligence, Clyne was steady as every, Sakho was outstanding, Lovren was poor aerialy against Lukaku but far more comfortable when it was on the floor.
Lucas had a very good game, played a couple of slide rule passes that deserved better finishes. Milner, has he invented a new position, the centre mid-wingback? Firmino was quiet but I've got this sneaking feeling that next season he'll be a monster. Coutinho had a game in which I think he'll be disappointed in himself despite a lot of good work. Lallana needs a little work on his decision making and get those fruit salad sweets off his feet.
Origi worked Everton's back line, raw but so promising. Sturridge is just a menace and I'm still not sure he's fully match fit. Allen, neat and tidy, if he's happy to be a bit part player-supersub, we should keep him. Ibe still has question marks over him, I'm not sure the questions will ever get answers.
