Finnan: 7 Routine performance from the Irish international. Made a decent defensive contribution and had attempts at crosses from the right.
Carragher: 8 Another commanding display from the never-say-die defender. Couple of good passes directly to the attackers.
Hyypia: 8 Superb display, especially when handling West Brom's aerial threats, and not showing any signs of buckling despite evident loss of pace.
Riise: 7 Another one of those normal displays at defence. Looked a bit sloppy when attacking but took a couple of shots that could might as well go in.
Garcia: 5 A considerably poor performance from the trickster today. Tried too much in many occasions, ending up in countless losings of possessions. Need to get his act together.
Gerrard: 9 Man of the match for me. Definite defensive contributions and made many surging and commanding runs that could have resulted in a couple of goals for him. The final shots could have been better.
Alonso: 6 Not one of his vintage performance as many of his passes today went surprisingly astray, although like ever, he has improved in the defensive department.
Kewell: 8 Brilliant from the Aussie and a superb cross that resulted in a goal. Created great problems on the left flank for West Brom but lacked final quality for the cross/shot.
Cisse: 6 Average display from the Frenchmen and at times tried a bit too much. His work rate however is excellent and is improving by the day. Need to make more runs.
Crouch: 7 Well taken goal but an overall average attacking contribution. Could have been involved more.
Pongolle: 7 Looked sharp when he came on and has a bright future.
Sissoko: N/A
Traore: N/A
And by that note, a very happy new year to you all Liverpool fans out there.
