AMC) Roberto Firmino – 5 (Origi 35′)
Started brightly, but frustratingly limped off with a back injury he couldn’t overcome. Firmino has not started life on Merseyside well. At all.
AMC) Adam Lallana – 6
Assisted Ings’ goal and was our best player in the first half. But we needed someone to provide a moment of genuine class in the second-half. He failed, and took a rubbish penalty too.
FC) Danny Ings – 7
The Kop sang his name throughout. Ings, is quickly becoming our best summer signing – and nobody would have predicted as much in August. Scored his second goal in as many games and will start at the weekend.
SUBS:
Divock Origi – 5
Played the equivalent of a 90 minutes with Extra Time, but was wasteful.
Coutinho – 5
Poor, in truth. Picked the ball up and fired shots high and wide. But you have to feel for him. He’s trying to do it on his own.
Jordon Ibe – 6
Toiled down the right but didn’t create anything to hurt the League Two battlers.
