Interesting our lowest rating was our talisman striker.... in a massive win game as well.

This thread (especially when paired with match day threads) are actually a fascinating little record of how well the team (and individual players) played on any given day, I use them often when discussing certain games with mates etc because I find they are a pretty accurate reflection of what actually happened. That's why I appreciate everyone who takes time out of their day to post up their scores/musings and especially Damjan who crunches the numbers.
Btw I can't believe I didn't give any ratings for the United game! I must have been delirious with happiness and forgot, hopefully I dont do the same this Thursday through depression!

Man Utd V Liverpool - Europa 2nd Leg

Mignolet - 7 - mixed bag I thought - some good saves, but times I felt he should've come out and claimed the ball when he didn't.
Clyne - 5 - surprisingly poor game for him
Lovren - 8 - can't see Skrtel getting his place back
Sakho -  9 - back to his best
Milner - 7 - not a stand out, gets an extra point for playing out of position
Can -  8 - I thought he bossed the midfield well, was let down by some of his passing, but he was hardly the only one. Love the engine on him.
Henderson - 5.5 - anonymous, but not MIA. I don't get the vitriol he got on the forum during the game but agree that Allen must be wondering what he has to do to get a start.
Lallana - 7 - another good game with plenty of hard work
Coutinho - 7 - scored a goal he had no right to, and missed a couple he really should've put in. Good, not great.
Firmino - 5 - would've been the first one I'd have replaced
Sturridge - 6 - kept the ball well under pressure, almost scored a worldie, but still far from his best

Subs...

Allen - 7 - did as we've come to expect
Origi - 7 - did as we've come to expect, lacked a goal threat though I thought
Benteke - 5.5 - I expected a little more from him after recent games, but it must be tough to be third choice...

Mignolet - 7 - did well. Still look uncomfortable at crosses
Clyne - 6 - just not good at reading the play
Lovren - 7.5 - strong game. Didn't come under too much pressure though
Sakho -  8 - a very good game. Same as with Lovren though as Manure never put the cbs under too much pressure
Milner - 6.5 - solid but unspectacular, as usual
Can -  8 - covers a lot of ground during a game
Henderson - 5 - not good. Just doesn't lift the team. That 100 k wage must be nice
Lallana - 6.5 - tricky player, that sometimes doesn't get that much done. Ran alot though
Coutinho - 7 - A moment of absolute brilliance. Otherwise sloppy and wasteful the rest of the game
Firmino - 6.5 - tried some things, but not much came of it.
Sturridge - 3 - the trend continue with this fellow. Has been horseshit since he came back

Man Utd V Liverpool - Europa 2nd Leg

Mignolet - 6.5 - couple of important saves but looked dodgy on some crosses
Clyne - 6 - Seemed to be a step behind
Lovren - 8 - awesome
Sakho -  9 - immense
Milner - 6 did well considering
Can -  8 - looking like a good player
Henderson - 6- huffed and puffed
Lallana - 7 - mixed bag
Coutinho - 8 - Fantastic finish and looked the most skill full player on the pitch
Firmino - 7 -  mixed bag
Sturridge - 6 Still skilful but he seemed to be flustered

Subs...

Allen - 7 - Did OK
Origi - 7 - Looks better than Sturridge
Benteke - 6 - ok

Man Utd V Liverpool - Europa 2nd Leg

Mignolet - 7 - had some good saves
Clyne - 5 - haven't see him this bad before. Easily exposed and makes up for it by fouling...
Lovren - 7 - did well
Sakho -  8 - he's like a rock in the centre
Milner - 7 - thought he did well... alot of stamina
Can -  7 - good but not great
Henderson - 4 - I'm not sure what he's doing the whole game, seems to be ball watching, but when he came off he was sweating like he put in alot of work
Lallana - 7 - decent
Coutinho - 8 - didn't play too well... but that goal was pure magic and for that he deserves an 8. The goal also totally changed the game. If we went in 1 down at half down, we will be super nervous at the 2nd half. Without the goal, he probably gets a 6.
Firmino - 6 - could've done better than Sturridge but he didn't... this is what I don't understand about Firmino. Does he give his all every match?
Sturridge - 6 - don't understand the criticism of him in this game, he did well, was lively, but still looks like he's not match fit.

Subs...

Allen - 6 - subs who did well probably deserves a 6
Origi - 6 -  subs who did well probably deserves a 6
Benteke - 5 - nothing much to talk about. And that's not good for a 32 million striker...

Man Utd V Liverpool - Europa 2nd Leg

Mignolet - 7
Clyne - 6
Lovren - 8
Sakho -  9.5 ; Fantastic game, didnt put a foot wrong !
Milner - 7
Can -  8 ; bossed the midfield again
Henderson - 7 ; we controlled it for large parts and his positioning was decent
Lallana - 8 ; Worked hard and frustrated the Utd players when he had possession
Coutinho - 8 ; top finish and a great run in the 2nd half. Finished the game
Firmino - 6
Sturridge - 6 ; Tried to compensate his lack of game fitness with hard work. Did okay but needs to get back to his best. Didnt think he should have started

MINGOLET - 6.5 hesitant on one or two occasions but to be fair he was only beaten by a pen
CLYNE - 4 probably his worst game in a red shirt
SAKHO - 9 probably his best game in a red shirt
LOVREN - 8 now looks like a £20m CB
MILNER - 7.5 thought he did a great job playing in an unfamiliar position
CAN - 8.5 he's been immense in recent weeks
HENDERSON - 7 couldn't believe it when he missed that sitter but he battled hard considering he wasn't feeling well.
LALLANA - 7.5 not many skilful players are prepared to work as hard as this lad, he may lack end product but he's certainly not lazy
FIRMINO - 6.5 not his best game but like Lallana for a flair player he covers a hell of a lot of ground
COUTINHO - 8 he was having a bit of an off night until his goal but FSG should give him a Suarez style £200,000 a week deal and build the club around him for the next decade.
STURRIDGE - 6 unlucky with the effort that hit the bar but needs to up his work rate if he wants to lead the line long term for a Klopp team IMO.
