Lloris- 5.5. I really only fault him for the first goal, where he could and should have covered his near post better. The second was down to Walker putting him in an impossible situation, and the third was a penalty.
Walker - 2.5. Terrible. This is his 'learning' season, much like Bale had a bit of a nightmare in the league after his breakout in 09-10, getting double-teamed and put out of games too often. Only Walker's a defender, so we tend to concede as a result of his errors, whereas when Bale failed to click we were only 'ineffective'.
Dawson - 5.5. Struggled against the pace of Sturridge and Suarez.
Verts - 9. Phenomenal. He must be furious he ended up on the losing side through no fault of his own.
BAE - 5. Casual, and it cost us. Also, don't chew on a toothpick on the pitch, mate - one head collision and you'll need it removed from your sternum.
Parker - 5.5. A little jaded, and it showed.
Livermore - 5.5. Struggled against the quick passing interplay of Liverpool's midfield.
Bale - 6.5. Good assist, tried to make things happen, but was diligently marshalled by Lucas and Agger.
Dembele - 6.5. Tried hard, and showed some great bits of skill. Nothing wrong with him.
Sigurdsson - 6. What is it with him and the post?
Defoe - 5. Anonymous.
Subs;
Holtby - N/A. Would he have done better against Liverpool's hard-pressing? Maybe, but given AVB's meritocracy, it isn't hard to understand why Sig started.
AVB - 6. Couldn't have done much more.
