WBR) Nathaniel Clyne – 6/10
Poor in possession at times, but feisty and hard working. A solid Merseyside derby debut, but didn’t provide much offensively down the right.
WBL) Alberto Moreno – 8/10
Moreno couldn’t get in the side at the start of the season, but in this formation he’s one of our best players. Moreno worked tirelessly up and down the left and defended very well, something he’s been guilty of not doing in the past.
MC) Lucas – 7.5/10 (Allen – 79′)
Subbed late on, and very, very lucky not to be sent off for a blatant second yellow. But other than that, Lucas was combative and energetic in the centre and competed excellently versus James McCarthy and Gareth Barry.
MC) James Milner – 5/10
Lazy tackles and shoddy passes symbolised a poor afternoon for the stand-in skipper.
