Reina - 8. Couple of handy saves, fantastic goalkeeper.
Johnson - 5. Won us the penalty, but too often gave the ball away and looks totally devoid of confidence. Would have been a 4 but got a point for tying his hair back for once.
Carragher - 7. Our best defender back to somewhere near his best.
Kyrgiakos - 6. Once or twice had time on the ball and distribution isn't his strong point. Still did OK though.
Konchesky - 6. Solid but unspectacular.
Shelvey - 3. I thought he was pretty poor to be honest, but he's only a kid so you get that.
Spearing - 6. Solid, got his foot in and tried his best.
Poulsen - 3. Never recovered from giving the ball away for their goal. Terrible on the night, but like the manager it saddens me when I hear the treatment he gets from our own fans. He's not El Hadji Diouff, he's a player who's confidence is shot.
Jovanovic - 4. Apparantly on 70K per week. Oh dear.
Meireles - 5. Disappointed in Raul tonight and I like him as a player.
Ngog - 5. Needs a bit of devil in him, like you need to slap him around a bit to get him wound up pre match. Lucky not to have his leg snapped by a terrible tackle. Wish he'd look down the fecking line and not go offside so much as well.
Subs
Gerrard (Jovanovic) - 10. What can you say?
Eccleston (Poulsen) - 5. Not really sure what this lad is.
Lucas (Ngog) - 6. Thought he did well when he came on, albeit only for a brief time.
Roy Hodgson-9. Lucky manager tonight, but everyone needs a bit of luck. 3 wins and a draw from the next four matches after the Everton defeat is good going. Well done Roy.
