Liverpool legend Steve Nicol isn't convinced by the leadership qualities of Jordan Henderson.
The midfielder is expected to succeed Steven Gerrard as Liverpool captain when he leaves for LA Galaxy.
But Nicol says: "I think we learnt more about whether Henderson is ready to captain this team. You can't blame Mario for wanting to step up and take it. It is the captain's call and quite clearly Henderson wasn't sure what to do and caved in to Mario.
"The fact he scored and we won the game is great.
"But when you are a captain and you have orders from your coach, you have to follow them. He didn't - Jordan got this one wrong.
"There is a standard that a captain has to carry out. He has to be respected by his whole team and to get that respect you have to make good decisions and big decisions and you have to get them right.
"Henderson got this one totally wrong and it opens up the question of what will happen when Gerrard leaves.
"There doesn't seem to be a natural successor to him as captain on the books at the moment."
