Reina - 7. Was quick off his line, commanding his box and cleared corners with good punchs. You can see the defences confidence in him already.
Finnan - 7. As always. Hardly ever has a bad game. Passed the ball well and defended well.
Riise - 6. Was assured at the back, didn't really contribute going foward much. Against Anderlecht he was superb, today he was ok. But he done his job more than well enough.
Hyypia - 8. Won everything, looked as assured as ever and commanded the back line.
Carragher - 8. Swept up everything, won most first balls and every second ball. Probably the best player on the pitch.
Gerrard - 7. Completely wasted out wide. But has to do it for the good of the team at present. Drifted alot but had a good game. His attitudes completely changed since last season and he's looking more consistent. Great penalty.
Luis Garcia - 5. Was cheap in possession, didn't really get into the flow of the game, looked off the pace.
Sissoko - 5. After a great start he's drastically lost form. His passing was worse than Luis Garcia's and in my opinion he should have come off. Poor game, he's far better than that.
Alonso - 7. He was everywhere. His passing this season hasn't been what it was last year, he's adapting to the premiership more so now though and his class and ability is starting to shine through. Fantastic player.
Morientes - 6. Tried hard, just nothing came off for him. Some nice touches but didn't do any damage. Should have read a great cross from Sissy Much better and been on the scoresheet.
Sissy - 5. Missed a sitter as he only seems to be able to blast a ball. Only positive contribution was a great cross after his poor touch played Gareth Barry into trouble.
Subs:
Zenden - 7. Looked lively for the short time he was on and created problems, helped set up a goal.
Kewell - 7. Looked sharper than he has in the past and done ok in the short time he was on.
Crouch - 7. Missed 3 sitters but played a part in both goals and helped us win the match.
Rafa - 9. Excellent substitutions at the right time won us the game.
