RW Adam Lallana (Sturridge 62′) – 5
The occasion may have got to the England international, gave the ball away at will.
LW Phillipe Coutinho – 8
A touch of pure class put his side in front and his brilliance lit up a match which was sorely lacking.
CF Raheem Sterling – 7
Looked more dangerous playing off Sturridge and took his second half goal well.
Subs:
Glen Johnson – 5
Never really got into the game, did contribute to Reds clean sheet though.
Alberto Moreno – 7
Got forward well, providing an assist for Sterling’s goal.
Daniel Sturridge – 6
Helped Sterling’s game, who looked a lot more comfortable playing off the striker, was a little isolated in a game devoid of quality.
