Daniel Sturridge – 8

What a return from Daniel Sturridge. He appears to be aiming for a consistent run, and I’m starting to feel optimistic about him actually staying fit for once. His movement has been missed, and he headed in Liverpool’s first goal with pinpoint accuracy. As good as his influence was, I couldn’t help but feel that he’s going to take time to get back to his best. He seemed hesitant and missed several passes by taking too long to think, which can’t really be too harshly criticised given his long term absence.
