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.

Subs:

Luis Garcia - 6. Done well, kept the ball and battled as always.

Cisse - 6. Actually chased the ball down.

Kromkamp - 6. Got stuck in.

Quality performance.

Team as a whole. 8.

I agree as well, Sissoko showed why rafa rates him so highly, a very exciting prospect he plays so well and is still only 20/21 and this is his first season in the prem. The guy has endless stamina and workrate and never seems to give up. As people have said there is a lot of things he can learn but who better to teach than Hamann, Alonso and Gerrard.

Carragher was imense as usual at the back, Riena looked solid and swept up well.

I like Kromkamp very hard working and competent a vast improvment on Josemi.

I rate todays performance as a 9 because of the way we contained £50 million worth of strike force to 1 or 2 atempts, we broke up there attacks with a combination of a hard working hamann and sissoko and we troubled there defence with our wing play and our strikers getting stuck in.

I think the only thing our team is missing is a reliable striker who can and will get you goals from nowere. bring on second place and an FA cup win

Yes he did do this and did you see the fans get right on his back, screaming at him to chase the ball, he pooped his pants, nice to see the crowd giving him a kick up the :censored:
