Jordon Ibe applauds the Liverpool fans at the end of the match

 

Mignolet: With speculation over a new goalkeeper, the Belgian reinforced Jurgen Klopp's confidence in him with a commanding display - 7

Clyne: Energetic and better defensive performance by the right-back after being at fault on the weekend - 7

Toure: Back in the team for the injured Mamadou Sakho and rolled back the years with an excellent performance. But his night was ruined by a possible hamstring injury - 8

 

Lovren: Forced off after 34 minutes with a hamstring injury and replaced by Milner - 5

Moreno: Got forward well down the left to support the attack but was also strong at his back post especially in the closing stages - 7

Can: Klopp appears to be build his midfield around the German and the 21-year-old showed maturity and class to harass Stoke's midfielders - 7

Lucas: Pushed back into central defence after the injury to Lovren and defended admirably in an unaccustomed position - 8

 

Allen: Twitter went into meltdown as people wondered if he meant to make such a deft connection to Adam Lallana's cut back. Nevertheless the Welsh Xaxi worked tirelessly in midfield - 7

Coutinho: Started brightly was came off with a hamstring injury - 5

Lallana: Back in the team for the dropped Benteke and he justified Jurgen Klopp's decision with a great all round performance - 8

Firmino: Looked more like the player who impressed against Man City tonight but is still not contributing enough in the final third - 6
