There were a few that had ordinary games but good enough to get us a win. This is a good sign though in many respects.
Reina (6) covered well when he had to. The goal was not a keeping error.
Carragher (7) is well an truely to No.1 defender. Becoming bossy but also still growing into the consumate defender
Hyypia (6) found wanting at times but cleared the line better in the 2nd half. Still a rock.
Warnock (6) would have been a 5 except that he went forward well. Awareness
Gerrard (8) top notch in the first half but went off the boil in the 2nd (but why wouldn't he?)
Sissoko (6) a lot of lateral movement but not a lot of purpose. Seen better games from him
Alonso (7) took a back seat today but chimed in if and when necessary. Conservative effort, but still classy
Kewell (8) getting back to to his best. Made his marker look like a goose on most occasions. Rediscovering the joy of running at players.
Crouch (8) fine goal. provided well. becoming the complete player.
Cisse (6) a fine goal but needs to realise that the direct route to goal is not always the best one. potential
