Player ratings vs Sunderland: Coutinho, Can and Markovic all brilliant in narrow win

Posted by

CM) Steven Gerrard – 6

Decent in the first half, playing a role in the goal, and looked ready for another big performance before being withdrawn at the break due to a minor knock.

RM)Jordan Henderson – 6

A proud moment for the midfielder has he took the captains armband against his former side, and let the troops well in the second half.

LM) Alberto Moreno – 7

A constant threat down the left hand side, and was another youngster to impress in a Red shirt today. Steadily improving for Brendan Rodgers’ side.

AM) Philippe Coutinho – 8

The focal point once again in Liverpool’s attack, and the Reds’ December Player of the Month was hugely impressive as he controlled the play.

AM) Lazar Markovic – 8

Scored the goal and impressed throughout. Should have had a penalty in the first-half and nearly scored a screamer when he instead hit the post.

ST) Fabio Borini – 6

Worked hard, but the ball just wouldn’t fall for him at the crucial moment. Probably lacks the quality to make it at this level, despite his efforts.
