Not much change from those that I put up at HT.
Ming 4 - are you fucking nuts ! Passing out to Gerrard with 2 players within a few metres of him. Bloody dolt.
Enrique - 6.5 - has his work cut out with two fast players on that wing. Needs help. Did OK in an attacking capacity too.
Lovren - 6 - a danger at set pieces. He could/maybe should have scored today. Wake up in defence please.
Skrtel - ZERO - stop fucking hoofing, 3 times this half. Fucking ridiculous play at the corner. Pushed the guy he was marking so far out that he himself was no longer part of the defensive line and could only attempt a pathetic back-header. Too busy fouling to even notice the ball until it was too late.
Manquillo - 6.5 - a couple of errors but also our best bet to get anything from the right.
Gerrard - 5 - simply has to do more, both in defence and attack
Henderson - 5 - see Gerrard. Not one of his better matches in the 1st half, better in the second and especially the final 15 mins when we actually started playing like Liverpool and not Tranmere Rovers.
Coutinho - 5 - if there were runners he could find them, though he's found Sterling on a few occasions it's not on the wing we need it. Disappeared without a trace in the 2nd half.
Markovic - 5 - he looks better through the centre, beginning to find his feet and trying to make runs through the defence. Still not great. Looks to lack confidence in front of goal and certainly needs to improve his final pass in and around the box.
Sterling - 6 - stupid foul for a yellow. Trying to do everything himself and failing most of the time .... though who can blame him. Horrendous miss when the he inadvertently nudged the ball with only the keeper to beat.
Balotelli - 4 - fuck off. Lazy arse. Get back onside FFS. Don't yell at RS that he should have passed to you when you should have run into the box and stop trying to dribble past 2-3 defenders, because you can't. Not much better in the 2nd, in fact worse. So many attacks break down with him .. either offside, greedy, tried too much or just poor passing. Such a poor team player.
Lallana - 6.5 - should have started. Keeps possession and added creativity immediately. You could sense that something would happen given enough time .... he/we didn't have it.
BR - 3 - Poor not starting Lallana and should have got Lambo on a lot earlier for Balotelli. Really did not get the team up for this match at all and that is by far the most damning statement, because we are Liverpool and this is the CL. How great is this going to be, after Everton, for confidence.
