LB) Glen Johnson – 6
Looked decent going down the left and linked up well with Coutinho down that side. A couple of good crosses and some nice moments from the experienced defender, who was the pick of Liverpool’s back line. That’s not saying much admittedly.
CB) Dejan Lovren – 4
When missing too often at the crucial moments, as he was caught out in the build up to both the first and second goals. How long can he keep hanging on to his place?
CB) Martin Skrtel – 5
Lucky not to be sent-off for two yellow cards, another disappointing day for a man who was such a formidable presence in last season’s team.
