Brought back in for Mignolet but again failed to give the crowd – or his defence – any confidence<\/p>\n
An underwhelming performance capped off with a late sending off<\/p>\n
Not authoritative enough at the heart of the defence – although, at times, was Liverpool’s most attacking player<\/p>\n
Looked shaky throughout but was not overly tested by Sevilla’s attack<\/p>\n
One of Liverpool’s brighter players, seemed to thrive playing against his former club<\/p>\n
The game seemed to bypass him and consequently he contributed very little<\/p>\n
Attempted to drive Liverpool forward although was prone to some wayward passing<\/p>\n
Played a part in the mess that was Sevilla’s opening goal and looked in a daze throughout<\/p>\n
Liverpool’s most potent threat – like at the weekend – caused the defence problems<\/p>\n
Failed to really impress as Sevilla’s defence found him the easiest to mark but did get Liverpool’s first goal<\/p>\n
Involved in some exciting linkup play with Salah but failed to finish his promising runs with a goal<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Had fairly little to do but when necessary pulled off some very good reflex saves<\/p>\n
Was made to work hard defensively against a pacey Salah<\/p>\n
Sevilla’s new signing was tested against a dynamic front three and it was his deflection that gave Liverpool their second goal<\/p>\n
The Sevillan veteran dealt very well with Firmino – the type of defender that Liverpool could do with<\/p>\n
Was gifted a lot of space on the right side and was involved in a lot of Sevilla’s attacks<\/p>\n
The former Blackburn midfielder exemplified why he is so highly thought of in Spain<\/p>\n
Was not as effective as N’Zonzi in the central area but still outplayed his Liverpool counterparts<\/p>\n
A promising player who showed off his flair and skill culminating in his fantastic finish to give Sevilla a share of the points<\/p>\n
Having returned to Sevilla, after a difficult season with Internazionale, \u00a0he always provided central support to the three strikers<\/p>\n
A fairly muted performance by the former City winger but did link up well with Mercado at times<\/p>\n
Scorer of Sevilla’s opener and nuisance to Liverpool’s defence and midfield – although he didn’t have any other major goal-scoring opportunities apart from the goal<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
