Mignolet - 8 He was brilliant today ,and his stop from Benteke swung the game when Villa were applying some concerted pressure.
Can - 7 - Just makes our defence look so assured with his inclusion ,he's brought more than a touch of German methodicalness to our game.
Skrtel - 7 - Vital interceptions and got his head to just about everything Villa threw at us.
Sakho - 7 -I've been so impressed with Mamadou of late that I really should lavish some superlatives on his display ,the lad was superb earlier.
Moreno - 6 -I love it when he bursts forward ,has all the pace in the world and looked an accomplished defender in the first half.
Markovic - 6 -I thought the lad defended really well ,its also useful having a player that can transform defence into attack with his lightening gait.
Lucas - 8, Pivotal to our new found resilience in the middle of the park.
Henderson - 7 - Perfect cross and played some beautiful cross field passes with the outside of his foot ,so much better in the middle
Sterling - 4 - Should have rifled that chance he had into the corner of the net , instead of attempting to chip a six foot three goalkeeper
Coutinho -5 Unusually wasteful ,and when Ibe slid him in with a perfect little pass he should have squared it across the box for Ibe to tap in.
Borini - 5 - He works tirelessly ,and you cant cast doubt on his application, but lacks any threat a striker should hold.
Subs:
Lambert - 6, Took his goal with real finesse ,and his drag back to create the space was quality.
Enrique - 4 ,Really confused by his introduction ,Moreno was doing enough to not be replaced ,a compete waste of a substitution.
Ibe- 5 Lovely little through ball and showed some intelligent movement in the sparse time he was afforded.
