Mignolet - 4 - Poor
Johnson - 5 - Form seems to have deserted him
Skrtel - 7 - Made some errors but also some crucial tackles and interventions
Sakho - 7 - Made some glaring errors but overall put in a positive shift
Cissokho - 4 - Invisible
Lucas -  7 - Effective
Allen - 7 - Did well
Henderson - 8 - Maybe his best game this season ?
Coutinho - 7 - Did well
Sterling - 8 - Returning to his best
Suarez - 8 - Was excellent again.

Moses - 4 - Why he was brought on ? Chelsea took him because when this fella was at Wigan he looked like he had a lot to offer, I'm not sure were it's gone.
Aspas  n/a

Mignolet 5 - When was needed failed.
Johnson 4 - An impostor ,sloppy ,stupid and clueless. Been like this for ages.
Skertel 7 - Defended very well ,was aggresive and limited his brainddead moments, not sure was to blame for Kompany's goal ,challenged the header but lost the location battle. can happen.
Sahko 6 - A part from a 10 minutes meltdown ,was very good. hope this breakdown won't hurt his confidence too much.
Cissoko 5 - Thought he was ok.
Lucas 7 - Pretty solid.
Henderson 6 - Pretty Solid ,settled for more defensive work
Allen 7 -  His presence in a forward position has aloud us to press effectively the rivals. Very active.
Coutinho 7 - Still waiting for his breakout game ,has much more up his sleeve.
Suarez 8 - In a game he didn't score ,was calm and responsible  ,took a leader role.
Sterling 7 - Again very good till the last decisive action. Missing that sitter isn't acceptable in my book any-longer. He needs to score that's his job ,he failed ,again.

VS Chelsea, 29/12/2013

Mignolet - 6 - Made a really good save from Lampard, probably could have done better with Eto'o's goal, not really at fault though.

Johnson - 2 - Wasn't at fault for goals as such. As positive as I can be.
Skrtel - 4 - All over the shop again. Terrible teamwork with Sahko who he left hung out to dry on more than one occasion.
Sahko - 6 - Done all he could, should possibly have stayed on his feet for Eto'o's goal. Unlucky to hit the bar.
Agger - 4 - Rusty and out of position. It showed.

Lucas - 4 - Nothing performance yet again. At least he tried.
Allen - 5 - Tried but was simply not upto it, recent performances have made him appear better than he actually is.
Henderson - 6 - Similar to above but had slightly more influence and played one or two decent passes.

Sterling - 5 - Much improved this month and tried today, had a couple of good runs but no end product.
Coutinho - 6 - Brightest spark but just couldn't make things happen today.
Suarez - 5 - Even the best player in the world has a bad game every now and then.

Subs:

Smith - Out of his depth
Aspas - Likewise
Toure - Not enough time to make an impact.

Rodgers - 3 - Should have played on the counter and kept it tight rather than trying to press Chelsea. They passed us off the park.

Mignolet - 5 - Daydreaming ,a touch of the David James for Eto's poke in the general direction of the goal.
Johnson - 0 I seriously don't wish to see this idle fat ***** in a Reds shirt again!!! 
Skrtel - 7 - He's having to make a  hell of a lot of vital interceptions ,way too many in my opinion.
Sahko - 6 - Was forced to cover an inexperienced and out of his depth LB
Agger - 4 - see above
Lucas -7 - After Hendersons injury was forced to play on the back foot and defend for his proverbial life
Allen - 6 - Tireless running, but to no avail .
Henderson -5 -Taken out of the game cynically at the earliest opportunity.
Sterling - 6 - Basically doubled up ,marked out the game.
Coutinho - 6 - Easily handled when Henderson was nullified. 
Suarez - 6 - Kicked off the park ,smothered by Chelsea ,and the tackle by Cahill was a f*cking disgrace ,and then today Mourinho accuses him of diving 

Mignolet - 6 - had a few good saves. Couldn't do anything about the goals
Johnson - 3 - completely useless
Skrtel - 5 - get's a 5 for the goal, otherwise poor
Sakho - 6
Agger - 4 - not a LB but not his fault
Lucas - 6 - tried the best he could. Broke up play a few times but not good enough
Allen - 5
Henderson - 6
Sterling - 6
Coutinho - 5 - chances for him were few and did almost nothing when he had them
Suarez - 5 - likewise

mingy - 5 unfortunately another goal he should have saved
johnson - 2 worst red in the stadium
skrtel - 7 scored and made some vital interceptions and blocks
sakho - 5 should have been played LB, tee'd hazard up for the first and should have stayed on his feet for the second.
agger - 4 never a marauding fullback
lucas - 6 same old same old
allen - 5 full of running but lacks any physicality
hendo -6 paying the price for showing what he can do against spurs, again another nasty challenge unpunished.
coutinho - 6 little busybody
sterling - 6 was given very little room
suarez - 5 was frozen out

smith - 4 im going to shoot a video of me doing some training in the back yard and send it to bren    watch this space 
aspas - 3 seen him come on but then i think someone ate him

vs Hull City   01.01.2014

Mignolet - 6 - untroubled
Johnson - 6 - wasn't that bad. Did well going forward
Skrtel - 7 - good game by him. Defended very well and was good at moving the ball forward
Agger - 7 - a bit rusty at the back at times but scored a good goal
Cissokho - 5
Lucas - 7 - did pretty well IMO
Henderson - 7 - a game with ups and downs but he dominated over Hull's midfield along with Lucas
Aspas - 5 - tried hard but not good enough.
Coutinho - 6 - not much better than Aspas honestly, but get's a 6 for the assist. That run at the end though...
Sterling - 6 - should play on the right with Johnson
Suarez - 8

Subs:
Toure - 6
Gerrard - 6 - good to have him back
Moses - 3 - can't understand why is he still getting chances

Mignolet - 6 - Unemployed ,should really avoid those short high floating balls which get our defenders into trouble ,kick the fcking ball over the half line.
Johnson - 5 ,Whatever Glen ,his strongest kick this season was into the pitch today.
Skrtel - 7 - Solid no errors.
Agger - 7 - Solid + Goal
Cissokho - 5 ,no confidence whatsoever and it showed. Didn't do wrong but an LFC player shouldn't be satisfied for not making mistakes.
Lucas - 6 - Ok ,nothing to remember.
Henderson - 7 - Very active ,should really do better in front of goal.
Aspas - 3 - Was hard to watch. Looks do out of his depth it was embarrassing.
Coutinho - 6 - Not enough ,should impact the games in assists and goals ,playing with the ball is nice but the game has a purpose after all.
Sterling - 6 - Same as Couthinho ,a lot of huff and puff but no end product. Lacks calm and smarts on his final possession.
Suarez - 8 - Really matured ,was abused by Hull players and kept his teeth.

Subs:
Toure - 6
Gerrard - 5 - Glad he is healthy but form is sub par.
Moses - 5 - ok

You mean Hull City Damjan mate

Mignolet 6 - untroubled
Johnson 5 - poor
Skrtel 6 - ok
Agger 7 - good goal
Cissokho 6 - ok
Lucas 6 - ok
Henderson 7 - good
Aspas 5 - poor
Coutinho 7 - good
Sterling 6 - ok
Suarez 7 - fantastic freekick

Subs:
Toure 6 - not bad
Gerrard 6 - not bad
Moses 5 - poor

Mignolet 6 - largely underused   
Johnson 4 - infuriating how the manager justifies playing him week in and week out .
Skrtel 6 - Decent display ,far less to do though than in previous games.   
Agger 7 - Captains goal ,decent display
Cissokho 5 - At times looks as comfortable in our back four as Todd Carty looks on the ice. 
Lucas 7 - Protected the back four well enough and stopped Huddlestone having any influence.   
Henderson 7 - Should have scored ,but solid enough ,sadly not as inventive as he has been.
Aspas 6 - Considering he was coming back from an injury and has been kicking his heels on the bench ,I thought he offered us more options with his running off the ball .
Coutinho 8 - Close control was a joy to watch ,and if he had managed to slot after his mazy run ,we would still be talking about it in 2020.   
Sterling 5 - On the rebound from some good displays ,and seemingly back on the ground next to the ordinary.
Suarez 8 - Every game he's getting kicked with little protection from the officials ,a disgraceful tackle from Meyler would have seen lesser mortals departing
the field on a stretcher.....Glorious free kick .
Subs:
Toure 6 - He was steady enough .
Gerrard 5 - The biggest cheer from the Kop was reserved for when he took to the pitch ,wasn't an inspiring return though was it ?
Moses 4 - Cack ,there exist many names to describe excreta ,I believe cack is more than merited for his current lack of heart.

Yeah, sorry about that . Think I was writing and watching the Man U game at the same time.

Liverpool v Oldham
Brad Jones- 6 two good saves ,but his distribution left a lot to be desired . 
Toure -5 Decent ,solid enough ,but largely undisturbed albeit from a few long shots that whistled over his head.
Agger 6 Ropey at first but then grew into it
Kelly -6 Wasn't too bad at all ,and shook off the effects of a clash of heads much to the relief of the Kop .
Cissokho -5 wasteful ,but did get forward to support the attacking players well enough.
Gerrard - 5 too many long balls, left our usual high tempo game struggling ....One fantastic ball to Moses could have provided a goal though.     
Henderson -6 Got forward ,but again there were times he should have scored from good work from Aspas.
Alberto 7 Our star performer in the first half ,passed the ball quickly and with great precision ,some rasping attempts on goal.
Sterling -8 Man of the match ,just shades Aspas ,beat Oldham players for fun at times and provided some deft crosses. 
Moses 3 Awful,quite clearly is searching frantically for the exit. 
Aspas 8 Best game in a reds shirt ,and played some thoughtful football ,could have had a brace and was our biggest threat in front of goal all game.

Coutinho for Moses- 6 We looked to get a better grip on the game possession wise when he was introduced.
Lucas for Alberto -6 Solid enough and even had a shot at goal

Stoke v Liverpool



Mignolet 6 - He needs to grow a set and command the box, because at times he looks lost
Johnson 4 - lacklustre and scared to make a tackle, needs to buck up or get out
Cissokho 3 - awful excuse of a footballer. He made Charlie Adam look like Pele at tines
Skrtel 6 - looked pretty solid, but was equally vulnerable in the air
Touré 7 - same at Skrtel, but won more headers and looked more secure
Gerrard 4 - wasn't at the races today. His passing and distribution was terrible, but will put it down to being rusty
Henderson 7 - didn't put a foot wrong, ran his socks off to
Lucas 7 same as Henderson
Coutinho 7 - looked good on the ball and should have had a goal today
Sterling  8 - bright and improving with each game.
Suárez 10 - Brilliant, didn't stop all game and should have hit his hat trick
Sturridge 9 - Brilliant set up for Suarez and great goal.

Mignolet - 5 - made a couple of good saves but didn't command his area and made a mistake that could have costed us
Johnson - 4 - the sooner he's replaced the better
Skrtel - 6
Toure - 6
Cissokho - 5 - gets a 5 for "his" goal
Lucas - 6
Gerrard - 6 - very rusty and a lot of mistakes but I think he was better than both Hendo and Lucas. Scored a goal too.
Henderson - 5 - mostly anonymous and a few mistakes
Coutinho - 6
Sterling - 8 - good game again. Worked very hard and was very smart with his movement and passing.
Suarez - 9 - saved our *****

Subs:

Sturridge - 8 - saved our *****. Glad he's back.

My ratings might seem a bit harsh considering that we won the game and scored 5 goals but that's just the way I saw it.

Mig - 5 Flaps a bit and should have done better for their 3rd
Jonno - 3 Considering its WC year he's not doing himself any favours
Skrtel - 5 He is going to cost us a penalty soon, can't believe he got away with the judo throw on Shawcross
Toure - 7 Best defender by a mile
Cissokho - 3 what is he doing any near our club
Lucas - 6 better at DM
Gerrard - 6 too many long passes intercepted him and hendo at fault for their second goal
Hendo - 5 quiet and see above
Coutinho - 7 neat touches and forced to track back help cissokho out too much, would have been 8 if he could shoot
Sterling - 8 played well and would get 9 if his final ball was a bit better
Suarez - 9 puts the sh1ts up defenders

Subs:

Sturridge - 9 Welcome back, loved his goal
