Philipe Coutinho - 5
The Brazilian was sloppy in possession at times, and failed to make an impact worthy of his considerable talent. Coutinho has been linked with a move to Barcelona, but it's difficult to see why based on his performance today.
Southampton's midfield pushed the 23 year old off the ball with ease at times and was, too often, a passenger for Liverpool.
Divock Origi - 4
Origi, in the first-half, had 12 touches of the ball, fewer than either goalkeeper. A complete non-entity, the Belgian is eager but looks incapable of being a centre-forward for a team with any realistic aims of playing in the Champions League.
Subs:
Christian Benteke - 7
A fantastic header from the big Belgian.
Roberto Firmino - 6
Made little impact, other than winning a late corner, which was then wasted.
Jordan Ibe -
Not on long enough to rate.
Steven Davis - 6
Worked hard, and created a chance for Mane with a beautiful deft pass.
Jordy Clasie - 6
A solid display from the Dutchman.
Victor Wanyama - 7
Won the midfield battle, Wanyama offered protection for Southampton's defence and did well when in possession.
Sadio Mane - 7
Mane is almost as dangerous without the ball as when he's in possession. The Southampton number 10 was a nuisance throughout but particularly in the first-half. Mane won the ball back from both Lucas and Coutinho, stood up to the physical challenge from the Reds and offered his side a threat on the counter-attack.
It's not surprising that the player has been linked with a move to a Champions League side and Mane showed great instincts to get Saints' leveller, but was needlessly sent-off.
Dusan Tadic - 5
Linked up well with Pelle at times, and delivered some threatening crosses but lost the ball a number of times.
Graziano Pelle - 5
A quiet afternoon for the centre-forward. Pelle won a number of aerial challenges but was sloppy in possession and failed to have a effort on target.
Subs:
Juanmi - 5
Made little impact.
James Ward-Prowse - 6
Delivered the cross that led to Saints' equaliser.
Gaston Ramirez - 6
Set up Southampton's equaliser.Ireland legend has to calm himself during Arsenal argument with fellow pundit
They were not on the same page….. Kenny Cunningham and Shay Given once again proved themselves as hugely entertaining football pundits, after last night’s Champions League semi-final between Arsenal and Atletico Madrid. Following Tuesday’s 5-4 thriller between PSG and Bayern Munich, Cunningham had caused a stir by playing down the quality of the game. And, […]
