Damjan -   

LIVERPOOL V SWANSEA CITY

MINGOLET - 6 didn't have that much to do
MORENO - 7 we have got to watch we don't burn our fullbacks out, they put in a hell of a shift every game
SKRTEL - 6 one or two nervy moments but solid enough
LOVREN - 6 as above
CLYNE - 6 did okay
MILNER - 6 he's not spectacular and looks a bit one paced but he does make a lot of vital interceptions and clearances etc
CAN - 6 really good first half but a bit sloppy in possession the second, decent game though
LALLANA - 6 did okay
FIRMINO - 5 not his best game, try's hard though
IBE - 6  looked lively but final ball let him down a bit
BENTEKE - 5 a bit like Firmino wasn't really at the races today

MINGOLET - 5 - still faffing about, got rightly booked again.... Get Jack Buckland in, Mong has had enough chances
MORENO - 8 - many dont agree, but thought he was excellent today, 110%
SKRTEL - 6 - decent match
LOVREN - 6 - another better performance, keep it going Dejan
CLYNE - 7 - wow, what energy, played a solid game
MILNER - 7 - good match again, shame about the earlyish yellow, showed nerves of steel on the penalty
CAN - 6 - did well, but please stop giving the ball away with passes forward
LALLANA - 5 - not up to his standard of late, he has far more to offer
FIRMINO - 4 - ineffective
IBE - 8 - great game, would like to see him attack the byline instead of crossing the ball always
BENTEKE - 5 - not great, could / should have had a penalty in the first half

MINGOLET - 6 - His easiest game so far.
MORENO - 6 - The lad spends a lot of energy but not in the right places ,can't remember one cross to the box or a significant run down the line.
SKRTEL - 7  - Good game
LOVREN - 7 - Good game
CLYNE - 7 - Good game and connects better with the attack ,still has much more to offer.
MILNER - 6 - Ok ,again relentless but not a lot of quality
CAN - 6 - Ok ,Still not sure what he does ,again lost a ball in a critical area ,slow passing but very energetic ,not sure he should start.
LALLANA - 6 - Ton's of energy but nothing to show for.
FIRMINO - 4 - Poor game ,out of sync ,slow decision making ,sloppy passing.
IBE - 7 - Good game ,but disappointed he didn't tear shiit up ,his potential is huge but he is still too constrained.
BENTEKE - 5 - Average ,a bit slow at times.

MINGOLET - 6 don't think he did much wrong. However, his reluctance to come out and collect crosses and command his 18 yard box is very concerning.
MORENO - 7 had a very good game and as usual full of energy.
SKRTEL - 6 he was alright
LOVREN - 6 he was alright
CLYNE - 7 both fullbacks played well. You always know what you're getting with Clyne. Very consistent and starting to be as dependable as Finnan, whom i rate as one of the best recent LFC full backs.
MILNER - 6 He did well and scored a good penalty. But disappointed with the quality of some of his passes and crosses.
CAN - 6 he had a good game.
LALLANA - 5 didn't do very well in this game. No end product
FIRMINO - 4 without Coutinho he cannot affect the game.
IBE - 6  played well but still runs into defenders.
BENTEKE - 5 He did alright. The service wasn't very good for him.

Subs
Sturridge - 4 Didn't look right when he came on. Didn't have much of an impact
Henderson - 5 Did ok. Still looks very rusty
Toure - 5 Did ok.

MINGOLET - 6 didn't have that much to do
MORENO - 8 Defended well (positioning), did well recovering when Swansea tried to hit us on the counter, provided good shape going forward. Just get him off set pieces. 
SKRTEL - 6 solid game
LOVREN - 6 continues to improve
CLYNE - 7 Good energy, handled everything that came his way pretty well, could still offer a bit more going forward
MILNER - 6 The solid 6/10 game you'll get from him almost week in week out. Scored the penalty which got us the 3 points
CAN - 8  I'm surprised he isnt getting more credit for that performance. I thought he did really well playing the holding position and had decent composure on the ball. Defended well too. Probably his best performance of the season and could provide Lucas with much needed competition now that Henderson is back.
LALLANA - 6 Again, linked up play well but didnt seem to want to take too many risks. With Coutinho unavailable and Firmino off the mark, we need him to step up as a creative influence in the side.
FIRMINO - 5 Gave the ball away time and again.
IBE - 5 Started brightly but faded away quite badly in the second half. With his dribbling and explosiveness, he should be offering more. Too one dimensional at times especially when the players around him arent at their best
BENTEKE - 5 He worries me a little. Fantastic header of the ball and has a good shot on him. Whether he fits in with our style of play, we'll just have to wait and see.

Mignolet - 6
Clyne - 7 - standard performance, what an improvement from our previous RB. Agreed with yakka though, how many games has this guy played this season? Don't want to burn him out
Skrtel - 7 - played well, clean sheet, job done
Lovren - 7 - as above
Moreno - 7 - good game as well
Can - 7 - agreed with ace, I thought he had a pretty good game in that holding position
Milner - 7 - not as good as Can  but scored the winning goal
Lallana - 6
Firmino - 5 - looks like he only works with Coutinho around
Ibe - 6
Benteke - 5 - sometimes he's unplayable, other times he reminds me of Balotelli. In this game it was the latter

Subs:
Henderson - 6 - glad to finally have him back
Sturridge - 5 - same as above
Toure - N/A

Migs - 5 - Had nothing to do, but still got himself booked.
Clyne - 7 - He is just so consistent, but needs a rest. Our lack of FB depth is being highlighted.
Skrtel - 7 - Did his job.
Lovren - 7.5 - Looked a right leader out there, played a very good game.
Moreno - 8.5 - Best game in a long time for mine, but again, he needs a rest.
Can - 7.5 - Did well as a our DM, made a nice tackle and a brilliant ball onto Benteke.
Milner - 7 - Decent game, only got a 7 because of the pen.
Lallana - 6.5 - Pressed and defended well.
Firmino - 6 - Needs other creative players around him
Ibe - 5 - I thought he was ***** until Sturridge came on
Benteke - 5 - Not a starter for us, needs to be the impact sub.

Hendo - 5 - Welcome back skipper
Sturridge - 5 - Welcome back Studge
Toure N/A

MINGOLET - 5 Never troubled 
MORENO - 7 Looks to have found a real resilience to go with the class we know he has. 
SKRTEL - 7 Rarely out of his stride ,good game. 
LOVREN - 7 Made some good interceptions and showed he's a good passer of the ball
CLYNE - 6 Looked a tad jaded after his Europa cup showing 
MILNER - 6 Exactly what it says on the tin
CAN - 9 I thought this was Emre's best game since his procurement ,growing in stature with every game  ,and conjured some sublime 50 yard passes .
LALLANA - 6 Hard to judge his game devoid of the invention of Coutinho 
FIRMINO -6 In the first half he made a lot of tackles and pressed high ,but he looked lost without Coutinho to dovetail with
IBE - 6 Needs to seriously learn how to release the ball earlier ,and work on his crossing, but worked diligently in a defensive sense.   
BENTEKE - 4 We look more than a little disjointed when the big fella is on the pitch
