Mignolet - 8 - Crucial save from Rodriguez at 1-0 and unbelievable punch from corner at 2-0 when we were under pressure.  More like it from Mig.
Flanagan - 7 - Tough evening against Shaw and Lallana but did ok and made tackle of the match in the first half.
Skrtel - 9 - His best performance of the season for me.
Agger - 7 - Solid. 
Johnson - 6 - Again looked sluggish and not fully fit.
Gerrard - 7 - Nothing spectacular but kept things ticking over.
Allen - 7 - Gave the ball away a few times but some excellent pressing made up for it.
Henderson - 6 - Not his best game but gave 100% as always.  Needs this 2 week break imo as starting to look tired.
Coutinho - 5 - Nothing worked for the wee man.  Just a bad day at the office.
Suarez - 9 - A goal and 2 assists, good all round performance.
Sturridge - 6 - Some good bits of play but didn't work hard enough without the ball for me.  His pace was always a threat though.

Sterling - 8 - Electric when he came on
Aspas - ? - not really on long enough for a rating but didn't disgrace himself.

Vs Man Utd 16/03/2014

Mignolet - 6 - Made a decent save, apart from that was largely redundant. No mistakes, nice and solid.

Johnson - 7 - Really decent game, best match of the season by a country mile.
Skrtel - 8 - Played really well, some excellent blocks and interventions.
Agger - 7 - No coincidence we're keeping more clean sheets with him in the team. Played well today, positioning is good.
Flannagan - 8 - Used the ball well, defended well and aggressively and was generally quality.

Gerrard - 9 - Class. Pure class.
Henderson - 8 - Ran his ***** off and niggled away, used the ball well.
Allen - 7 - Need and tidy, always available and didn't give it away. Good movement and kept it ticking.
Sterling - 7 - A constant threat but not used in his best position. Still performed superbly and defended like a lion!

Suarez - 9 - MEGA!
Sturridge - 8 - Quality performance, held it up well, moved superbly and always a threat.

Subs:
Coutinho - 6 - Looked lively
Lucas and Aspas not on long enough.

Rodgers - 10 - Rinsed the Mancs tactically.

United were awful, shocked how bad they were!

[damjan193]

Mignolet - 7 - Made a great save for the only shot that the mancs had on our goal, came out on corners and looks like he's starting to control his box
Johnson - 7
Skrtel - 8 - kept his concentration and a cool head for the entire match. Great game
Agger - 7 - good but not as good as Skrtel
Flanagan - 8 - a bit reckless with his tackles but a fantastic game by the kid
Gerrard - 8 - MOTM and not because of the goals. Too bad he couldn't make a hat-trick though
Henderson - 8 - was everywhere and controlled the midfield along with Gerrard
Allen - 6 - a bit quiet but the extra body in midfield helped
Sterling - 7
Suarez - 7
Sturrdige - 7

Rodgers - 10 - 

[RED BEERGOGGLES]

Mignolet - 7 - looked far more confident behind a solid back line .
Johnson - 7 - Best game for some considerable time.   
Skrtel - 8 - Excellent ,some great blocks and interceptions.
Agger - 8 - Aggers positioning and composure on the ball was exceptional,a return to form for the classy Dane.   
Flannagan - 8 - Brilliantly mature display from a player who is growing in stature with every performance.
Gerrard - 9.5 - A hearty welcome back for the player I remember so well ,simply exquisite today ,the ultimate midfield performance.
Henderson - 9 -Tireless running both on the ball and off and United simply couldn't handle his energy. 
Allen - 8 - Kept us continually threading neat passes almost metronomic today. 
Sterling - 7 - Sterlings strength on the ball given his small frame is a complete enigma.
Suarez -  - 8 Never gives less than bursting a lung for the shirt on his back ,brilliantly taken goal.
Sturridge - 8 -At times he twisted the United defence inside and out ,fantastic performance.

Rodgers 9 Its little wonder Barcelona are closely monitoring his new contract developments ,it was certainly a coup for the reds when we
took him from Swansea city ,because he's one of the most imaginative and forward thinking managers currently in the game.

[woof woof !]

Mignolet - 6 - had virtually nothing to do apart from pulling off one very good save.
Johnson - 7 - did well   
Skrtel - 7 - did well
Agger - 7 - did well
Flannagan - 7 - still just 21 this lad is coming on in leaps and bounds, could go to become another "local" legend.
Gerrard - 8 - a proper captains performance, love how he stuck one on the pan scourer Fellani
Henderson - 8 - in terms of energy and unselfish running outshone even Luis in this one
Allen - 7 - looked a bit "off" in the opening minutes but went on to have a more than solid game.
Sterling - 7 - sometimes maybe dwells on the ball a tad too long but another good game from this lad,
Suarez -  - 7 - not his best game for us but as always still puts in a real shift, far too good for the man u defenders
Sturridge - 7 - solid performance

Cardiff v Liverpool 22nd March 2014

Mignolet - 6 - Couldn't do much about the goals   
Johnson - 8 - Best game he's had for a while 
Skrtel - 7 - Two goals gives him a 7   
Agger - 4 - Was way off the pace today, his poo positioning and lack of closing down had a  hand in all their goals, expect better from him   
Flannagan - 5 - Not his best game
Gerrard - 7 - Played well
Henderson - 6 - Good pass for the first goal but wasn't his usual bustling self 
Allen - 6 - His poor pass to Flanno gave away the first goal   
Coutinho - 7 - Played well 
Suarez -  9 - Hatrick, what more can be said
Sturridge - 9 - Played really well today and only Luis hatrick stops him being MOM

Sterling -6 - Did okay when he came on
Cissokho - 6 - Did okay when he came on
Sakho - not on long enough

[damjan193]

Mignolet - 6 - could do nothing about the goals
Johnson - 8 - maybe 8 is a bit high but he was surprisingly good today, especially in attack. Keep it up and he might stay
Skrtel - 7 - he conceded 3 goals and despite none of them being his fault I can't rate him higher as much as I want to
Agger - 4 - very poor. Should have done better for all of their goals
Flanagan - 4 - also very poor. All the goals came from his side.
Gerrard - 6 - should do more when helping the defense
Allen - 5 - OK going forward but horrible defensively. Didn't help the back four at all
Henderson - 7 - a game of ups and downs but overall did OK, with some key passes and solid defensive work
Coutinho - 8 - had a few bad moments but he did well with his passing and movement and made the 2 most important assists of the game
Suarez - 10
Sturridge - 8 - did his job. Gets an 8 for that fantastic back heel but otherwise a 7.

Subs:
Sterling - 6
Cissokho - 4 - contributed to the opposition

Agree but would give Agger a 5, wasn't as bad as people are making out.

Good post.

[only me]

Mignolet - 6 - Frustrating day for him ,conceded 3 but couldn't do much about them
Johnson - 8 - Best game this season.
Skrtel - 8 - Crucial goals 
Agger - 5 - Not one for the books ,bad positioning today,   
Flannagan - 6 - Although his side was the weak link, can't totally blame him ,didn't get any support.
Gerrard - 7 - Was pretty good ,moved the ball very good.
Henderson - 6 - Very good pass for the first goal but otherwise pretty confused and clumsy 
Allen - 5 - Similar to Hendo just instead of passing to our players he passed to Cardiff's..
Coutinho - 7 - Good game, good ball control and movement ,thought subbing him was a bit harsh.
Suarez -  8 - Hat full of goals ,again ,thought he could have made better decisions on passing the ball
Sturridge - 8 - Scored ,Assist ,boring day in the office

[RED BEERGOGGLES]

Mignolet - 5 A top keeper saves at least one of those ,decision making was array.
Johnson - 6 I don't think any of our defence covered themselves in glory yesterday ,but in an attacking sense this was comfortably Glens best game thus far. 
Skrtel - 7 Purely merited the seven for his deft header for our third ,most strikers would be proud of the technique in that header.
Agger - 5 - Dazed and Confused is the title of an epic song ,neither description should be used to describe Agger ,what's gone wrong ?   
Flannagan - 5 - Whatever his instructions were before the game ,I think its safe to say that if you sent Flanno the shop yesterday for an Echo he would have come back with a loaf .
Gerrard - 6 - Way too many over hit passes when retaining possession was imperative ,nowhere near his United performance.   
Henderson - 6 - Exceptional slide rule pass and spot to find Johnson ,but looked leggy 
Allen - 6 - Mistake to pass to Flanagan given the  vulnerability  of his position ,but ran his little Welsh socks off to atone.
Coutinho - 7 - I thought he had his best game for a while his crossing and corner respectively was pin point for the goals.
Suarez -  9 - Both Luis and Daniel must be necking the Lucozade by the bucket because they're dragging a weak arsed team all the way to the title 
Sturridge - 9 - See above ,both should be checked for performance enhancers

Flannagan - 5
Gerrard - 5
Henderson - 6 
Allen - 6   
Coutinho - 7   
Suarez -  9

Sterling -6
Cissokho - 6

[RED BEERGOGGLES]

Mignolet - 5 The goal was clearly Flanno's fault ,but his overall positioning could have been a lot better for the header.   
Johnson - 2 - 1 point for simply  managing not to put his shirt on back to front and the other point because I feel guilty mocking the disabled.   
Skrtel - 7  I thought he and Agger were amongst our best performers on the night 
Agger - 7   One brilliant block intercepting a near certain Sunderland goal ,and looked relatively composed throughout the night.   
Flannagan - 5 Two poor performances back to back ,Id personally switch him with Johnson ,because Johnson cant do any worse than where he currently is. 
Gerrard - 7 Great free kick and showed the appetite for a lung bursting run  back to the halfway line to regain possession and return it to our defence.   
Henderson - 5 Nervous on the ball and unusually wasteful.
Allen - 6   Again ,had a few chances presented to him ,but wasted them.... He did however take over Henderson's mantle and provided the energy.     
Coutinho - 8 Best player on the pitch involved in all of our best and most creative moves.
Suarez -  7 Angry ,irritable and annoyingly strayed from the uncompromising genius we have come to take for granted.....Already forgiven     
Sturridge - 8 Sweet goal ,and showed some decent touches ,but like Suarez loathe to pass to his partner upfront.

[only me]

Mignolet - 6 ,was OK ,not much to do.
Johnson - 3 - Signing Johnson is a priority (As a Water Boy) ,BR please tell me you were joking or under the influence. Good ol'e useless Glen is back.
Skrtel - 7  Solid ,no mistakes.
Agger - 7   Solid ,no mistakes.
Flannagan - 5 ,less then usual ,lost his guy on the goal.
Gerrard - 7 Great Goal ,held his ground ,was less ruthless then usual.
Henderson - 5 headless performance again ,consistency is key with this lad ,if he can't deliver every week he would find himself as a squad player.
Allen - 7   Good Game ,held the MF well ,energetic and involved.   
Coutinho - 8 MOTM ,danced through the MF ,moved the ball very well ,lacking last significant touch
Suarez -  6 Worked very hard ,for himself...Lost a lot of balls. 
Sturridge - 7 Good goal ,but should do much more ,passing.
