Sterling - 8 showed some great skill

Substitutes:
Sturridge - 9  what we have been missing
Ibe - 7 be a starter by the end of the season

Mignolet - 8 Good Game ,the fact he started going out of his line really improves his game,
Can - 5 Contrary to sentiments here i thought he didn't have a good game ,was bullied by Carrol and had some sloppy careless passes.
Skrtel - 7 Fought and won his wars.
Sakho - 9 MOTM ,Air or Ground he won them all ,continued with his sublime forward passes while keeping mistakes to minimum.
Henderson - 5 Sorry doesn't deserve to be an Automatic pick ,his touch with the ball is painful at times to watch and whats with the set pieces kicking?
Lucas - 8 Played very well ,good tackles and interceptions
Moreno - 6 He Runs a lot (See Hendo) but it's not enough ,wasn't felt enough going forward.
Markovic - 5 Looked his age and less ,not much composure ,a top of his horrendous misses in front of goal ,had some bizarre naive passing.
Coutinho - 9 Little Wizard ,2 excellent assists to Goal and withstood the physical game
Lallana - 6 Was very quite ,hardly noticed ,usually is a center of activity and involvement ,not today.
Sterling - 7 Good execution on his goal ,still needs to upgrade his football intelligence.

Substitutes:
Sturridge - 8 - Striker!
Ibe - 8 Liverpool future

Lucas - 8
Markovic - 7

Coutinho - 10
Sterling - 9
Lallana - 7

Sturridge - 9
Ibe - 7

MINGOLET - 8 looked composed, his form has improved dramatically lately
CAN - 8 stood up to West Ham's physical approach remarkably well, you can bet your bottom dollar that Alladyce had targeted our defence pre game.
SKRTEL - 8 solid
SAKHO - 8.5 superb
MORENO - 6 works incredibly hard, wing back is the most physically demanding position in football
HENDO - 6 puts a shift in and keeps things ticking over
LUCAS - 7 usual commanding display
MARKOVIC - 6 see Moreno
LALLANA - 6 that injury has slightly taken the edge off his game ATM but he still contributed
COUTINHO - 9 first assist was one of the best I've ever seen, backed it up with another one
STERLING - 8 sloppy in possession sometimes but mixed it with flashes of brilliance and another vital goal

Mignolet - 8 - crucial in stopping West Ham's aerial threat, great game
Can - 7 - wasn't as good as we're used to, he wasn't concentrated enough IMO and his passing was a bit off, but was still pretty good.
Skrtel - 8 - bar the collision with Mignolet I thought he was solid, nothing went past him
Sakho - 9 - we would have probably seen a different game if he remained injured
Lucas - 7
Hendo - 7 - think it's harsh to rate him on his poor set-pieces alone, because he was otherwise instrumental to controlling the midfield along with Lucas
Moreno - 7
Markovic - 6 - industrial, but not much more
Lallana - 6
Coutinho - 9 - couldn't ask much more from him really, great game
Sterling - 8 - scored a goal and had some good runs at them

Subs:
Sturridge - 8 - it's not just the goal, our attack looks entirely different when he's present.
Ibe - 7 - glad we called him back, we could really use him

Mignolet - 8 Played well and came in for some serious buffeting from Carroll and co.   
Can - 8 A little flummoxed for about 10 mins after Carroll smacked him in the  grid with his arm ,but after that he was the consummate professional. 
Sahko - 9 His control and distribution was practically flawless. 
Skrtel -8 Commanding performance.
Moreno - 7 Best game for a while ,looked a real threat going forward and defended well.
Henderson - 7 Composed. 
Lucas - 8 Controlled the middle ,and ran the show defensively.
Markovic - 7 defensively sound and negated the threat from Downing
Coutinho - 9 The big clubs gonna come a calling ! A proper genius.   
Sterling - 9 The lad shone today some of his close control was beyond good 
Lallana - 6 I think Adam should have been replaced ,he just wasn't at the races today.

Sturridge - 9 Half fit and still capable of such breathtaking brilliance in front of goal 
Ibe - 7 The lads going to be a proper threat going forward.

Mignolet - 8

Markovic - 7

Coutinho - 9

mingolet - 8 an extra point for looking consistent.
can - 7 got rattled by carroll early on but recovered and held his own.
skrtel - 7 solid stuff again from mr reliable.
sakho - 8 deserves it
marko - 6 good defensively but should have stretched the lead at the end of the 1st half.
moreno - 6 again good defensively but like markovich struggled in the final 3rd.
lucas - 7 good game, was surprised he could walk after tuesday.
henderson - 6 would love to see can playing his role, his set pieces are terrible also.
coutinho - 9 best player at the club and we need to hold on to him.
sterling - 7 great finish and showed some good touches and skills but his runs get snuffed out far too easily. having sturridge through the middle with raheem and ibe either side would be some attack.
lallana - 6 missing for large periods and struggled to impose himself, should have been subbed. Toss up between him and hendo for my flop of the match.

sturridge - 8 ya boy ya!! 
Ibe - 7 looks really hungry to make a name for himself, slotted right in when introduced. Has to feature again against the bitterz.

Bolton V Liverpool - FA Cup Replay

Mignolet - 8 - way to prove his critics (inc me) wrong, might have a good keeper after all
Can - 10 - i dont give many 10's but he was class last night, a genuine star in the making
Skrtel - 8 - solid
Sakho - 8 - solid
Allen - 4 - only decent thing he did was take 2 bad fouls for their red card
Gerrard - 7 - upped his game, but can see his better days are behind him
Markovic - 4 - for long periods wondered if he was even on the pitch
Moreno - 7 - solid
Lallana - 6 - not his best game
Coutinho - 10 - outstanding, won us the game, love this guy
Sterling - 9 - worked really hard all night long, got kicked all over the place but still scored a great goal

Subs:
Henderson - 6 - ok
Borini - 7 - actually think he did well when came on
Sturridge - 6 - not enough time to impose himself, just happy he didnt get injured with the over zealous challenges bolton were putting in on our players

Man of match - Can / Coutinho
Flop - Allen

Mignolet - 8 - Good Game ,good positioning and now that he goes out of his little box he is much more effective.
Can - 8 - Was good till the position change ,was great after ,really showed his full box of tool ,Shooting and passing. His Natural position.
Skrtel - 7 - Was ok ,stupid attempt to tackle on the penalty (although he didn't touch him).
Sakho - 8 - Our Best defender ,another great evening.
Allen - 4 - Had hopes he could at least try and compete but actually did nothing ,shame.
Gerrard - 4 - Poor game ,no leadership and no quality tonight even set pieces were pathetic. Should be relegated to Sub position.
Markovic - 4 - Another Poor game ,not involved ,not effective ,few runs but with no purpose.
Moreno - 6 - Ok but not good enough ,should have worked his flank much more ,not real impact on the play.
Lallana - 5 - Low score just because his potential is much much higher ,can't allow himself to be a none factor in such games.
Coutinho - 9 - Brilliant all over ,missing one bit of the puzzle to be world class. (finishing) His Super goal was the exception.
Sterling - 5 - Not much going inside his little head...Wasn't focused ,not smart and his goal redeemed him a bit from another totally frustrating evening.

Subs:
Henderson - 5 - You can just see he isn't good enough. Robotic with no sense for the ball.
Borini - 6 - Was ok ,pressured the defense effectively.
Sturridge - 6 -Not enough time.
