Cissokho 8 actually managed to impersonate a player
Skrtel 9 magnificent display

Gerrard 9 brilliant game
Henderson 8 good dogged determination
Coutinho 9 to think some were calling for allen to start  this lad looked every bit of ozils fee today, simply outstanding
Sterling 9 what a player he is turning out to be and he's beginning to gain some consistency. needs to work on his 1 on 1's though
Suarez 9 gives 100% everytime and inspires those around him.
Sturridge 8 twenty + a season easy from this lad.

rodgers  10 i do give him his fare share of stick but completely recognise at what an attacking force he has turned us into. some of that stuff today was absolutely sublime and had the hairs on the neck standing. really proud of that display today

[Stu the Red]

Mignolet - 5 - Awful communicator
Cissokho - 5 - Can someone please remind Cissokho what colour we play in?
Skrtel - 3 - Really wish he'd disappear, woeful performance again
Toure - 4 - Not much better, anyone would be a wreck playing next to that though.
Flanagan - 5 - Best of a bad bunch at the back.
Gerrard - 7 - Great ball, good penalty, decent game.
Henderson - 5 - Needs to contribute more than that in these types of games.
Coutinho - 7 - Terrific little player, bright spark, cracking goal.
Sterling - 6 - Threatening at times, sloppy and wasteful at others.
Suarez - 7 - Class player, some great touches, wasted out wide.
Sturridge - 6 - Poor apart from a fantastic goal.

Got away with it, happy days.

Mignolet - 5 - should have definitely done better for the second goal. The ball wasn't that fast and it was very near him
Cissokho - 5
Skrtel - 5
Toure - 5

Gerrard - 8
Henderson - 6
Coutinho - 7
Sterling - 6
Suarez - 7
Sturridge - 7

subs:
Texeria - 6 - looks interesting

Special mention for Riether, the idiot who made the penalty. None of this would have happened without him.

[RED BEERGOGGLES]

Mignolet - 5 - He needs to feel confident with his back four and communicate far more than he currently does . 
Cissokho - 7 One of our top defenders last night ,which should mean a change in the type of critique he regularly receives.   
Skrtel - 5 All over the shop ,is the kindest description I can proffer. 
Toure - He wasn't even in the same shop as Skrtel  ......cant help feeling for him though ,because his pain is visible. 
Flanagan - 6 slip shod performance for the lad ,but still gave us more than Johnson.
Gerrard - 9 I thought in terms of application and the fight we want to see in our captain he was exceptional.   
Henderson - 8 Runs himself into the ground for the shirt ,even when he's clearly struggling with form he masks it with his commitment.   
Coutinho - 8 Lively ,and neatly taken goal ,he's slowly regaining the status that made his presence  ominous for opposing teams.     
Sterling - 6 Not as potent as a threat ,but defends like a little trojan at times.
Suarez - 8 The revival of the Bergkamp flick ....Only a few players exist in world football that would attempt such an extravagant move...we have one     
Sturridge - 7 well taken goal ,and at the minute you cant ask for more than that ,but he was marked well for long periods of the game.
subs:
Texeria - 7 - Exciting times ahead.

Rodgers ,I think his faith in Toure must surely be on the wane after this ,and with Agger on the bench his inclusion was a massive call.

[only me]

]Mignolet - 5 - His lack of Box contros is really starting to hurt the team. Should really try and commend his area and not leave it to his CB's it doesn't work.
Cissokho - 5 -  Sorry ,if you wanna settle for backwards and sideways passes you got no place here. Didn't make a mistake but played a cowardly game. 
Skrtel - 5 - Oh Boy ,Mental Skrtel is back again ,Poor defending and outrageous clearing of the ball which led to a goal
Toure - 4 - Confidence is in the Gutter ,his own goal was pathetic.
Flanagan - 5  - looked nervous as the rest of the defence.
Gerrard - 8 ,Till his superb assist i thought he was pretty quite and didn't really help the defensive back to get the ball rolling ,2nd half was commending.
Henderson - 5 ,Sorry had enough with headless running around ,find your form back Jordan ,we need a player which impacts the game.   
Coutinho - 7 , too many dead minutes for my taste but those which were lively really helped the team especially the goal     
Sterling - 6 ,Active but again nothing to show for
Suarez - 8 ,The only player which was consistent from start to end. Active and threatning. 
Sturridge - 7 .Scored and draw a penalty ,so end product was superb ,but can do much more.
subs:
Texeria - 6 - Promising ,but really should have scored ,their is no penalty for youngsters scoring so get them in already.

Subs:
Allen 7 - very good display when he came on
Moses 5
Toure 5

[only me]

Mignolet 6 - Was ok ,but must shake this paralysis of sticking to his line ,MUST improve his communication with the CB's. 
Johnson 4  - didn't offer anything going forward ,isn't that why we have Cissoko?
Skrtel 4 - erratic
Agger 4 - made on great tackle but other then that shakey.
Flanagan 5 - we beneath his usual self ,towards the end showed some nice moves and calm feet.
Gerrard 5 - Did nothing to help our miserable CB's.
Henderson 7 - Scored 2 excellent goals but lost the MF battle
Coutinho 5 - Sorry was missing today.
Sterling 6 - Superb pass for the first goal ,should have stayed instead of Coutinho.
Suarez 7 - Aching to score but really valuable with his passes
Sturridge 8 - Excellent

Subs:
Allen 7 - Was very active involved ,earned the right to start but instead of whome?
Moses 5 - Acute ball allergy
Toure 6 - didn't score an own goal

[damjan193]

Mignolet - 6
Johnson - 5
Skrtel - 4
Agger - 4
Flanagan - 7 - I know that he didn't have a great game but after we scored the 4th goal, Swansea were trying to force their way through on Flanno's side, but the kid put a shift in and didn't let anything past him. He preformed when it mattered the most, so he gets a good rating.
Gerrard - 6 - Couldn't cope with the high pressure but to be fair he didn't have a lot of support so he was on his own.
Henderson - 8 - average game but scored 2 very important goals so...
Coutinho - 6 - anonymous. Should have came off instead of Sterling
Sterling - 7 - great assist and a good game
Suarez - 7
Sturridge - 8 - 2 goals and an assist. Shared MOTM with Hendo for me.

Subs:
Allen - 7
Moses - 3 - get rid of him already!
Toure - 6

[woof woof !]

Mignolet - 5 - Another less than impressive display 
Johnson - 5 - Slightly better than he was before his lay off, at least looked more threatening going forward than Cissokho
Skrtel - 4 - Trying to give the fella some credit when possible but none available in this game
Agger - 4 - What quality he has seems to deserted him
Flanagan - 5 - Did OK as part of a defence that at times was shambolic.
Gerrard - 5 - one or two quality balls but not much else.
Henderson - 8 - one of his best games since he joined us
Coutinho - 7 - Increasingly surprised and impressed with how much harrying of the oppo this lad does,  7 points in this match given primarily for the spirit he showed.
Sterling - 7 - The lad is getting better and better
Suarez - 7 - Usual shift from Luis
Sturridge - 8 - Two goals and actually got his head up and gave a superb assist for Henderson 

Subs:
Allen - 7 - Composed performance, did very well.
Moses - 5 - Only knew he was on because the match report said so.
Toure - 4 - Seemed to contracted the same malaise that's affected our other CB's. Indecisive panicky and at times looking like he was tip toeing on ice.

[RED BEERGOGGLES]

Mignolet 5 Ropey would be the word
Johnson 2 His inclusion causes us all sorts of problems and constantly splits the CB's ,at least Cissokho was nothing less than competent   
Skrtel 4 Awful ,lucky to have still remained on the field for the penalty ,I thought Rodgers would have took him off 
Agger 4 What's gone wrong ? This is a guy who used to be so composed on the ball ,and brimming with confidence. 
Flanagan 6 Best defender.
Gerrard 4 Rightly praised when he plays well ,but this display wasn't even a distant cousin of OK.
Henderson 9 Absolutely brilliant ,vibrant and imposing ,showed the type of energy we desperately need in all our midfield
Coutinho 7 Not his best game ,but showed some delightful footwork in the first half ....faded second. 
Sterling 7 Beautiful pass for Sturridge's opener ,however ,his play became slightly predictable to Swansea's full backs as time wore on.
Suarez 7 He looked demoralized every time Swansea equalized and exasperated  at the prospect of having to continually drag us out of the shit ...tired !
Sturridge 8 One of his best games in an offensive sense ,but needlessly lost a huge amount of possession by going to ground after minimal contact.
Subs:
Allen 8 ,His best display since his return 
Moses 2 He did what exactly ?  Arguably put more effort into braiding his cornrows.
Toure 4  Managed to not gift Swansea an equalizer with a poke towards our goal ,so I suppose its progress.

Rodgers ,Johnson's inclusion was a complete head scratcher ,as was keeping a defender who conceded a penalty and narrowly avoided a red card on the pitch
and then compounding that by replacing Agger with someone arguably as prone to errors as Skrtel.

Liverpool vs Southampton 01/03/2014

Mignolet - 7 - made a good save first half and kept a clean sheet. I could swear I even saw him come out for a corner once 
Flanagan - 6
Skrtel - 7 - had one nervous moment in the first half but pretty solid for the rest of the game
Agger - 7 - solid, calm and composed
Johnson - 7 - the mercenary had a solid game actually
Gerrard - 7 - average first half but improved second
Allen - 7 - did his job IMO
Henderson - 6 - mostly wasted out of position but he had to take one for the team
Coutinho - 5 - it happens
Suarez - 8 - glad he ended his drought
Sturridge - 6

Subs:
Sterling - 7 - made great impact on the game. Scored with his first touch

Rodger - 9 - tactically outsmarted the opposition, doubt they were expecting us to play like that. We were a bit lucky first half but the change of tactic definitely helped us win this game and the clean sheet (about f*cking time) are a proof of that.
