AM) Adam Lallana – 5/10
Forced a couple of decent saves from the Stoke goalkeeper but needed to stay on his feet more against our physical opponents. He was pushed off the ball much too easily and his penalty appeals fell on deaf ears.
AM) Steven Gerrard – 6/10
Grabbed what’s likely to be his final game for the club, slotting in the consolation with 20 minutes remaining, but won’t want to remember much else from his Liverpool farewell. He’ll already have one eye on the next flight to LA.
ST) Philippe Coutinho – 6/10
The Brazilian was bright early on and curled a couple of decent efforts narrowly wide of the target. He faded as the game went on and was often left isolated at the top of our attack. He struggled to create space and missed the running of Sterling alongside him.
Subs:
1) Kolo Toure – 5/10 – Failed to prevent the cross for Crouch’s goal but the game was gone already.
2) Jordon Ibe – 6/10 – Probably the best player in a Liverpool shirt today. Although that’s not saying much.
3) Rickie Lambert – 5/10 – You know what you’re going to get from him. It was a token change.
