CM) Steven Gerrard – 6
Came close with a couple of free-kicks and one old fashioned long range effort, but he was otherwise a sluggish presence at the heart of the Liverpool midfield.
CM) Joe Allen – 7
Passed the ball intelligently and cut a striking figure with his bloodied head. Taken off with 15 minutes left as Emre Can got the chance to impress.
RW) Adam Lallana – 7
Made the goal for Rickie Lambert as the former Southampton players linked up. Withdraw with twenty minutes remaining in favour of Fabio Borini.
