Liverpool player ratings v Manchester City – Philippe Coutinho hilariously good, Jordan Henderson brilliant

Posted by

DM) Joe Allen – 8/10

An outstanding performance from the Welsh midfielder, who is quietly having the best month of his Reds career. He controlled the game in the midfield, while he also kept City’s star men very quiet. We were petrified about Joe Allen v Yaya Toure this morning. We needn’t be.

CM) Jordan Henderson – 8/10

A wonderful goal. The captain capitalised on his mid-week break to turn in a truly fantastic performance in this one. His work-rate has never been questioned, but today he added that extra bit of quality that Reds fans have been craving.

RM) Lazar Markovic – 6/10 (Sturridge – 76′)

Worked hard down the right flank. The Serbian did some great tracking back defensively, considering it’s not a position that’s particularly natural to him, but also got forward well in support of Liverpool attacks. His end product was poor – but it’s easy to forget he’s only 20.

LM) Alberto Moreno – 7/10 (Toure – 83′)

The Spaniard will be delighted to have put memories of his first game against City behind him with an excellent performance today. Like Markovic, he worked hard up and down his side and caused plenty of problems.
