GK: Brad Jones The Australia goalkeeper was the beneficiary of Brendan Rodgers’ decision to drop Simon Mignolet for the visit to Old Trafford in October 2014. It was Jones’ first Premier League appearance for 21 months. And it showed. The stand-in keeper dived out of the way of Wayne Rooney’s opener and fell hook, line and sinker for Juan Mata’s dummy to allow Robin van Persie an empty net for United’s game-clinching third.
RB: Andre Wisdom The right-back was an England Under-21 international before he made his senior debut for Liverpool. The Reds were obviously banking on Wisdom to make the grade since they gave him a long-term contract after eight Premier League appearances.
