AM) Jordon Ibe – 8
Excellent. A constant danger and the scorer of a truly brilliant goal. Watching him beat his man and dispatching a wonderful shot into the top right hand corner of the net was a joy to behold. This kid is going to be very special.
AM) Adam Lallana – 6
A little underwhelming considering the success he’s had in the first few games. He was marked out of the game admirably by the Malaysia defence, with the Asian side keeping him a lot quieter than might have been expected.
ST) Divock Origi – 5 (Ojo – 72′)
A frustrating outing for the young Belgian, who has probably slipped behind Danny Ings in the Liverpool pecking order, if today’s evidence was anything to go on. His highlight was a fine run through the middle, but he should have done better with his shot, which was instead straight at the goalkeeper.
Subs:
1) Jordan Rossiter – 6 – Took over Lucas’ role and didn’t look out of place.
2) Sheyi Ojo – 6 – One excellent run down the right but little else of note.
3) Daniel Cleary – 5 – Gave the ball away dangerously in the final moments.
4) Joe Maguire – 6 – Looked decent once again, put in one dangerous cross.
5) Pedro Chirivella – 5 – Little chance to make an impact.
