Finnan - 8. Excellent distribution, good passes, decent crosses, defended excellently and was very cool when he trapped the ball on his own goal line.
Carragher - 8. Solid, aggressive, taclked superbly and marked van Nistlerooy and Rooney out of the game like they weren't playing.
Hyypia - 8. Won most arial battles, controlled the line superbly, organised the defence and was solid on the deck. Used the ball well too.
Riise 7. Defended well, tried to get forward but didn't influence the play. Put some good tackles in. linked well with Kewell when he had the chance.
Gerrard - 7. Was up and down and tried to make things happen. Played alot of good balls and influenced the game. Was a very strong and hard working as ever.
Hamann - 8. Passed really well, used his head and experience. Had to much physical presence for the United midfield. Second best player on the pitch.
Sissoko - 8. Man of the match. Still sloppy in possession but was everywhere. Covered every blade of grass and won loads of tackles. Shown good skill in circumstances aswell, very very good game. His best in a Liverpool shirt for the second week running.
Kewell - 7. The assassin
. Great tackles on Neville and battled really well. Put in one or two decent crosses aswell.Crouch - 7. Done ok, scored a great header and worked hard.
Morientes - 7. Ran his balls off and shown some excellent touches and peices of skill. Massive improvement on recent performances, looked to have more confidence today.
