Good game from the lads. Turning the game after being 0-1 down. Man Utd was second best all day.
Reina 8
World class goalkeeper. Couple of good saves. Really good distribution and he was absolutely great at handling crosses and deadballs. This was the big fear for me. Them being dominant in the air. Reina did well.
Arbeloa 8
One of his best games for Liverpool. Safe defending and good contribution going forward.
Skrtl 8
Rock solid. Our best centre back. Pace, passing skills, power, dedication.
Carra 7
Almost ruined it with some horrible passing. Defended well.
Aurelio 6
Awful first half. Better second half
Benayoun 6/7
Good game. Unpredictable.
Mascherano 9
The kind of player that is going to make LFC win the premiership. Could have done more when they scored, but after that. Awesome.
Alonso 9
World class performance. Scholes, Giggs, Hargreaves, Anderson, Carrick,,, they all tried to stop him. But they couldn't. In control of everything that happened. Creative, safe, composed, cool, wonderful distribution. He is back.
Kuyt 5
Hard work is his only asset. And today he did fairly well. But if he continues to waste chances we will not win the premiership. Slow, boring and far from efficient
Riera 6/7
Showed some glimpses of what he will bring to the team. Nice control, a little bit of flair and godd crossing. Interesting debut.
Keane 5
Slow and not very effective. He is turning into another Kuyt. Worked hard for the team for 90 minutes but never creating anything dangerous.
subs:
Gerrard - nice to see him back on the pitch. Thankfully Benitez did not break up the superb Masch/Alonso pairing. Gerrard need to play on the right or just off Torres.
Babel - players like that turn 1 point into 3. great skills, amazing pace and power. he is going to be instrumental this year.
If football is banned in heaven. I'd rather go to hell.
