The Belgian was farily untroubled all afternoon, with most of Sunderland’s efforts missing the target. He saved solidly from Jordi Gomez in the second-half though.

GLEN JOHNSON- 6
The 30-year-old was probably one of Liverpool’s better players, which is saying something. He got forward well at times, and was better defensively than of late.
Vote Johnson as your Man of the Match on Twitter:
MARTIN SKRTEL- 5.5
Skrtel was fairly solid, but he surrendered possession and showed trademark sloppy touches on a few occasions. The 30-year-old was dominant in the air though.
Vote Skrtel as your Man of the Match on Twitter:
KOLO TOURE- 6.5
Toure was Liverpool’s standout defender on the day, but it wasn’t exactly a memorable display. He stuck to his task well from start to finish.
Vote Toure as your Man of the Match on Twitter:
ALBERTO MORENO- 5.5
The young Spaniard showed some decent attacking bursts, but there is still something lacking about his performances. Clearly asked to play less attacking than his natural game.
Vote Moreno as your Man of the Match on Twitter:
LUCAS LEIVA- 6.5
The 27-year-old was again one of the Reds’ best performers, continuing his impressive form of late. He read the game well throughout, and barring a few wasteful passes in the first-half, his use of the ball was good. Broke up play and was the only driving force in midfield at times.
Vote Leiva as your Man of the Match on Twitter:
Henderson was captain on the day, but his display showed no leadership whatsoever. His decision-making was very poor, and this performance sums up his forgettable form of late. Blazed over several half decent chances in the latter stages.
Vote Henderson as your Man of the Match on Twitter:
The Brazilian was poor in the first-half, consistently losing the ball. Although he was a threat after the break, shooting a number of times, it was still a disappointing afternoon for the 22-year-old.
Vote Coutinho as your Man of the Match on Twitter:
ADAM LALLANA- 5.5
Lallana looked lively at times, but there was a lack of substance to his game. Too often he looked more dangerous than he was actually proving to be. Far too often took too many touches than required, often resulting into him being blocked out easily. Subbed, as always.
Vote Lallana as your Man of the Match on Twitter:
Liverpool’s man of the match and biggest attacking threat. The 19-year-old was quiet before the interval, but he was outstanding at times in the second-half, driving his side forward. A couple of dribbles were sensational, and he looked the biggest threat by a mile.
Vote Sterling as your Man of the Match on Twitter:
RICKIE LAMBERT- 5.5
Lambert was a fairly anonymous presence from start to finish, and although the service he received was far from great, his movement and general threat was lacking.
After barely playing for two months, it’s now five full games inside 14 days for Lambert and it shows.
Vote Lambert as your Man of the Match on Twitter:
Substitutes
STEVEN GERRARD (on for Lallana 67)- 6
The skipper made a difference when he came on, adding creativity and drive, but he lost the ball cheaply a few times.
LAZAR MARKOVIC (on for Philippe Coutinho 78)- n/a
The Serb almost pounced inside the penalty area late on, but he was too unnoticeable to assess properly.
