I have not watched the pens, but I consider they are outside the game so here you go:

Mignolet - 7 Solid game between the sticks
Skrtel - 8 Won every aerial duel
Toure - 6 Did ok
Lovren - 6. Ditto
Allen - 6. Nothing special
Can - 5,5. I thought he was again less good against his fellow turks
Ibe - 5.5 Not as influential as in the last few games anf got overrun in defence
Moreno - 7. Lively
Sterling - 4.5. Quite poor
Balotelli - 6. Best of the offensive trio, don't know why he was taken out.
Sturridge - 4.5 Selfish and only managed to shoot once although he had some good balls in the first half

Subs:
Lallana 5.5 - the team was already in bad shape but he did nothing to liven it. Was hoping for more
Manquillo 5 - pretty much the same
Lambert 5.5 - not enough time to do anything of note but he fought well

Toure - 6.5 - played alright, did his job mostly
Skrtel - 8 - played really well, deserved a clean sheet
Lovren - 6.5 - similar to Toure. Shouldn't have taken a pen
Allen - 7 - had a great game I thought
Can - 6 - was OK, not as good as Allen
Ibe - 6 - wasn't too bad, I thought he did OK defensively

Liverpool V Man City - 1st March


Mignolet - 8 - dominant
Can - 8 - another top display, what a player and so young
Skrtel - 9 - immense
Lovren -7 - best game in a Liverpool shirt ?
Henderson - 9 - immense
Allen - 8 - best game in a Liverpool shirt ?
Moreno - 7 - thought he was excellent before coming off
Markovic - 4 - poor today for me
Lallana - 7 - did well at times
Coutinho - 10 - very rarely give out a 10 but this guy is beyond a magician, made my day/week/month
Sterling - 8 - best game in a while

Subs
Toure - 7 - did well
Sturridge - 7 - did ok but could have made it 3 and killed them

Liverpool vs Manchester City 1/3/15

Mignolet - 8
Markvovic - 8, especially for the second half
Can - 9, he's going to be world class
Skrtel - 9, candidate for player of the season, a rock.
Lovren - 8, misplaced two passes in the first half, immense in the second, great to see his improvement.
Moreno - 8, bags of energy
Allen - 9, best performance I've ever seen from him
Henderson - 9, amazing energy, beautiful goal, his enthusiasm and leadership have been impressive
Coutinho - 10, staggeringly good player, hard to believe how young he still is
Sterling - 9, worked tirelessly all match, even made a critical tackle in the liverpool 18 yard box at the end of the match. TWO assists.
Lallana - 9, another tireless performance. He is another intelligent, team player who ran and ran.

Rodgers - 10, trumped Pellegrini and inspired a win we had no right to. Anyone who missed - watch Carra's post-match comments. His assessment is perfect.

Mignolet - 6 - looked a bit insecure on a few occasions. Otherwise didn't have a whole lot of work to do with City having only one shot at his goal
Can - 7 - carries a bit of blame for the goal as the rest of the CB's but otherwise a solid game
Skrtel - 7 - same as above
Lovren - 7 - same as above. Was really happy to see him having a solid game, he needed that.
Allen - 8 - outstanding today, controlled the midfield along with Hendo very well. Would have been MOM were it not for Coutinho
Henderson - 8 - maybe not as good as Allen but he also had a very good game and scored a cracker
Markovic - 5 - a different player every time he touches the ball, sometimes good sometimes awful. Despite a few nice moments he was mostly awful today
Moreno - 7 - put a shift in as usual, helped both in attack and defense
Lallana - 6 - I think he sometimes has no idea what he's doing, relies solely on instinct. Wasn't bad but should do better
Coutinho - 9 - what a player this lad, a true magician with the ball. A cracker of a goal and a good performance as well
Sterling - 7 - though he wasn't too effective, he worked really hard and had 2 assists

Subs:
Sturridge - 6 - should have scored
Toure - 6

Mignolet - 6 - not much to do looked hesitant going out from his line.
Can - 7 - nervous a bit yet good game no highlights yet effective
Skrtel - 7 - good game fought hard
Lovren - 7 - nervous first half but settled and was good
Allen - 8 - excellent ,not one mistake continues his good spell.
Henderson - 8 - excellent as well super goal and some great tackles which just frustrated City.
Markovic - 4 - poor stuff ,looks overwhelmed most of time light weight and confused
Moreno - 6 - very active but not much impact.
Lallana - 7 - although he wasted a couple of great chances he just kept running and disrupting City play
Coutinho - 9 - abused City should be charged , MOTM.
Sterling - 5 - don't know if it's the contract but he is very average as of late should think hard on his next steps.

Subs:
Sturridge - 5 - his head is elsewhere.
Toure - 6

Mignolet - 6 - didnt have much to do but dealt with what he had too, hesitated when coming off his line for Aguero which could of cost us
Can - 7 - Played really coming forward and fairly solid at the back
Skrtel - 8 - Played really well, this run of form is the best ive seen him since he joined the club
Lovren -7 - Poor for their goal but hes improving, still no where near as good as Sakho
Henderson - 9 - Best performance in a Liverpool shirt, was everywhere, his passing was crisp and took his goal brilliantly
Allen - 9 - Outstanding, alongside henderson dominated the midfield, was even passing it forwards 
Moreno - 7 - Good shift, tireless up and down the wing, also improving defensively
Markovic - 5 - poor, dont know what people see in this guy, a nothing player with a bit of pace
Lallana - 7 - Had some really good moments and linked well with Sterling and Couthino
Coutinho - 9 - Immense, ran the game from start to finish and scored a great winner
Sterling - 7 - Very lively and was a constant threat, really should of scored a goal though

Subs
Toure - 6 - Was solid when he came on
Sturridge - 6 - Should of buried his chance to kill the game

MINGOLET - 6 did okay but looked nervous early on, nearly cost us a goal by being glued to his line
CAN - 7 fine performance, IMO Brendan has a choice to make, does he want a good midfielder or a potentially world class defender?
SKRTEL - 8 excellent display
LOVREN - 7 his best display in a red shirt
MORENO - 7 did well
ALLEN - 8 possibly his best game in a red shirt too
HENDO - 9 another who arguably had his best game in a red shirt, his superb goal pushed his 8/10 performance to a 9
MARKOVIC - 6 started slow but grew into the game, his passing, energy and movement is under rated and we lost something when he went off
LALLANA - 8 superb performance from Adam.
COUTINHO - 9 my MoM, many more performances from Phillipe like this and we'll have a job hanging on to him, utter class.
STERLING - 6 one or two decent moments but still not at his best, he needs to sign that contract and knuckle down.

Damjan, if you fancy doing the sums I'd be interested to know who's our best Newkit player thus far. I'd guess maybe Skrtel or Coutinho. Both have been immense, but Skrtel has been my player of the season up to this point.
