Reina - 9 world class saves at a crucial time
Kelly - 8 solid, dependable and at times delivered some decent crosses linking up well with forward players, has to play next game
Carragher - 8 organised defence well and a few good interceptions
Skrtel - 7 solid, no mistakes and hit row Z when he needed to, not intimidated by physical approach of opponents at set pieces
Konchesky - 7 his best game for us so far, distribution was better
Kuyt - 7 played for once in his best position just off the main striker
Lucas - 9 his best game for us by a mile, MOTM, and showed what he can do playing alongside a player of a different type
Gerrard - 8 played in his best position, should only be used in more advanced role as an emergency, has to play central to get the best out of him and Lucas played better because of where Gerrard played
Meireles - 7 did ok, but suffered slightly as not his natural position but deserves his place irrespective of that
Maxi - 7 I think he is getting better and benefiting from a run in the side and showing more confidence with shots on goal and getting into the box too
Torres - 9, brilliant goals, worked hard, chased defenders, they just couldn't cope with him, a real handful and when fouled just got up and on with the game - just like he did in his first season
Subs:
Shelvey (Kuyt) - 6 some neat touches
Ngog (Torres) - 6 used his pace well to close down defenders
Spearing (Meireles) - 5 not sure he touched the ball
