Liverpool FC Forum

Mignolet - 7 - still looks a bit shaky but made a few saves and kept a clean sheet
Flanagan - 7 - glad to finally have a decent full back in the team
Skrtel - 7 - solid both in defense and helped the attack
Toure - 7 - solid and made an assist as well
Cissokho - not a football player, but I agree, probably his best game. Still won't rate him though
Gerrard - 9 - my personal MOTM
Henderson - 7
Coutinho - 8 - looks better when he plays as a midfielder doesn't he?
Sterling - 7
Suarez - 8
Sturridge - 9

SUBS:

Moses - 5
Kelly - 6
Alberto - 6 - should get a game sometime

Mignolet - 7 - did well, looked more composed than usual.
Flanagan - 9 - my point award may be OTT but this lad is coming on in leaps and bounds, given his age he was magnificent last night.
Skrtel - 8 - worries us sometimes but not last night
Toure - 7 - past his prime but put in a shift
Cissokho - 6 - Still don't rate him but although the fella didn't sparkle he didn't let us down.
Gerrard - 10 - The Legend's not dead yet ! His presence, drive and determination was at the heart of the teams performance.
Henderson - 6 - Maybe deserved a higher rating from me ? perhaps I'll need to watch a re-run of the game, he just never caught my eye.
Coutinho - 8 - If only he could finish he'd be getting 10 out of 10 almost every week.
Sterling - 8 - excellent again, hope it's not a false dawn but he seems to be growing in confidence and stature every week
Suarez - 9 - I'm lost for words, another game another goal. Never mind the skill, I've never ever seen another player with more non stop commitment than Luis Suarez
Sturridge - 9 - Two goals, brilliantly taken, been an absolute revelation since he joined us.

SUBS:
all subs - 5 -  none exactly shone but none of them let us down.

Mignolet - 7 - Solid and a clean sheet.

Flanagan - 7 - The lad never put a foot wrong and it made a massive difference having him there over the mercenary.
Skrtel - 7 - Solid, good game, no errors
Toure - 7 - Same as Skrtel
Cissokho - 6 - Best game in a red shirt.

Gerrard - 9 - Beast of a performance from the "liability", great goal (from someone playing in a deep midfield role) and dominated the midfield with his TACKLING, HEADING AND RUNNING... his passing and reading of the game were not bad either.
Henderson - 8 - Really good game, ran a lot and into good area's, put a few tackles in and passed the ball really well.
Coutinho - 8 - Lad can see a ball with a blind fold on. Quality.
Sterling - 7 - Threatening but should have scored when superbly dinked through.
Suarez - 8 - Average game by the Genius's standards.
Sturridge - 8 - Scored two great goals, played pass of the season, had one or two superb first touches and also shown why he will never be a top class footballer with childish, self centred, gob sh*te attitude and me, me, me personality traits.

SUBS:

Moses - 5
Kelly - 6
Alberto - 6

Mignolet - 8 The Confidence and composure that comes with having a more settled back four.
Flanagan - 9  The kid looks a natural fit for our back four. 
Skrtel -9 Like a scary Ninja.
Toure - 7  Decent game and great ball for Sturridge.
Cissokho - 6 Good game, some would even say he resembled a footballer.
Gerrard - 9 Determined and barking out orders all game ,the way he was throwing himself into tackles really clawed back the years....Thus far easily his best game.     
Henderson -9 I don't think he misplaced a pass ,as well as using the ball really well.
Coutinho - 9  I thought the little man was exceptional and the Bitterz just didn't know how to quell his threat.
Sterling - 8 Very Good .
Suarez - 9 Oh fuck it lets have it right :)
Sturridge - 10  World class ,and at Liverpool he has the potential to exceed even that, and still has enough passion in reserve to throw a strop.     

Subs
Alberto- 7 His brief showing could have earned him an assist if Moses had packed his shooting boots.
Moses -6 see above.
Kelly 5 Looks a touch out of his depth.

Away to West Brom


Mignolet - 7 Some excellent stops
Flanagan - 7  The kid looked our best defender beyond Skrtel ,and yet he was still  hooked for Kelly.
Skrtel -7 I feel for anyone forced to play with Toure in this form. 
Toure -2  Fuck me ,he's haphazard
Cissokho - 4 Got forward well ....that's about it really
Gerrard - 4. oh dear he really was exposed today ,squandered possession with too many aimless punts.     
Henderson -4 lost the ball carelessly way too many times.... bereft of ideas   
Coutinho - 4 Couldn't do anything right it seems.
Sterling - 7 Needs to get back to supplying the quality of crosses we seen against City. 
Suarez - 8 Simply for the sublimity of  the assist for Sturridge ,other than that he looked less composed in front of goal as he has been. 
Sturridge - 4 Awful     

Subs
Kelly- 4 It was like we went a man down when we lost Flanagan ,why he didn't replace Toure whose distraught mind was all over place after the gaff is beyond me
Allen 6 Should have started in place of a jaded Gerrard ,but it was evident Coutz should have been subbed for Moses long before Allen usurped him.

Rodgers 5 Rooting around for a reason to explain some decidedly bizarre decisions will just make my head burst.

Mignolet - 7  - did his part ,just don't get his soft kicks to the sidelines resulting in a lost ball. Kick the fcking ball Hard across the midline.
Flanagan - 6 - was ok ,looked nervous to me.
Skrtel -7  - Credit is due ,was very good
Toure -3  - Mental mistake ,but....he was screaming all day for someone to come and take the fcking ball and no one came. Good thing was signed a DM.
Cissokho - 5 his best game and still average. good thing we signed a LB. 
Gerrard - 4 Can't have Everton every day ,good thing we signed a DM.     
Henderson -2 did he play? looks utter shiite this past weeks. Good thing was signed a DM.
Coutinho - 4 crashing quickly with those kind of performances.
Sterling - 6 just for the effort ,but his end product is embarrassing. Good thing we signed Konoplyanka
Suarez - 5 
Sturridge - 5

Subs
Kelly- 4 he isn't a PL player.
Allen 5

Rodgers 4 - for not having the team ready to play  ,for not making the changes on half time ,for bizarre to say the least subs.

Mignolet - 5 - Kicking was awful, had little to do apart from that and yet still managed to throw in another needless camera save.
Flanagan - 5 - Offered nothing going forward, played a couple of silly passes but largely untested.
Skrtel - 6 - Decent enough, defended well when he had to and didn't make any error's.
Toure - 4 - Awful pass for the goal, affected his performance afterwards.
Cissokho - 5 - Didn't really do anything of note, got into the odd good position and wasted it.
Gerrard - 6 - Didn't do much wrong, won quite a few tackles but didn't have the intelligence to break West Brom down.     
Henderson - 6 - Covered a lot of ground and made some good runs but touch seemed heavy and lacked invention.
Coutinho - 6 - Good skill on ocassions but couldn't get into the game to link with Suarez.
Sterling - 6 - Probably our most threatening player, just couldn't find the end product.
Suarez - 6 - Ridiculously good assist but shown again if he doesn't perform we aren't a very good side. Off day.
Sturridge - 5 - Lacked support, good movement for the goal but couldn't seem to get going.

Subs:

Kelly - 5 - Seems out of his depth, looks very sluggish.
Allen - 5 - Did he have a kick?

MOM - Sterling/Skrtel

Camera save? Dear me you really hate reality don't you? BTW our "sub" scored again.

Mignolet - 7 - one or two great saves. Could do nothing about the goal
Flanagan - 6
Skrtel - 7
Toure - 4 - took a bit of the good stuff again did we Kolo?
Cissokho - what a f*cking donkey man. I mean, we have limited footballers but at least they make up for it with working hard. This guy does nothing!
Gerrard - 6 - I think he did OK but just isn't aware enough to play as a DM
Henderson - 6 - mistake free but mostly anonymous
Coutinho - 6 - good passing but too relaxed
Sterling - 7 - our best player out there for sure
Suarez - 6 - good assist but got frustrated after his miss and it affected him
Sturridge - 6 - good goal but not much apart from that

SUBS:

Kelly - 5 - out of his depth
Allen - 5 - should have started. We would have had much more control in our midfield that way

Liverpool v Arsenal 8-2-2014

Mignolet 8 - boss
Cissokho 8 - boss
Skrtel 9 - boss
Toure 8 - boss
Flanagan 9 - boss
Gerrard 8 - boss
Henderson 8 - boss
Coutinho 9 - boss
Sterling 9 - boss
Suarez 9 - boss
Sturridge 8 - boss

Rodgers 10 - boss

Mignolet 8 - Could've been higher if he hadn't (again) made a meal of some relatively straight forward catches
Cissokho 8 - Actually deserved the shirt today
Skrtel 10 -two goals and defensively hardly put a foot wrong 
Toure 8 - solid and seemingly recovered from his howler at West Brom, but really should've scored from the Suarez rebound .
Flanagan 10 - Maybe i'm being a bit generous with the point award but given his age against top of the league opposition his performance was outstanding
Gerrard 9 - Who said Gerrard can't play in this position ? Reads the game better than anyone I know of, would have got 10 from me if he hadn't given away a penalty
Henderson 9 - maybe an unsung hero in this match, non stop positive action for the full 90 mins.
Coutinho 9 - a return to his best, if only he could find the net
Sterling 10 - growing game by game this season
Suarez 9 - 
Sturridge 9 - 

Subs - all - 5, the  game was won and they kept it ticking over

Rodgers 10 - Don't know what he said to the lads but we murdered Arsenal   

Mignolet - 7 - Didn't have much to do, but done what he could to a decent standard.

Flannagan - 8 - Solid, passed the ball superbly well. Makes a massive difference having a player there instead of a mercenary.
Cissokho - 7 - Played quite well. Still gave it away stupidly at times but his best game for us. Didn't let us down.
Skrtel - 8 - Decent defensively on what he had to do and scored an absolutely outstanding header.
Toure - 7 - Solid and didn't do much wrong, like Skrtel didn't have a great deal to do.

Gerrard - 8 - Quality performance again. Liability my *****... would have been given a 9 had he not given away a silly pen.
Henderson - 9 - Brilliant performance, covered every blade of grass and was productive.
Coutinho - 9 - Magic, played pass of the season for Sturridge's goal. MOM (just)

Sterling - 9 - Fantastic performance again, really proving people wrong, could have scored one of the goals of the season.
Sturridge - 8 - Was always a threat and took his goal fantastically well. Good movement and pace.
Suarez - 9 - Magic again, absolute inspiration to all around him. His pressing is fabulous as is everything else. Beyond words!

Subs:

Ibe - 6 - Shown some nice touches.
Allen - 6 - Didn't do anything wrong.
Aspas - Not on long enough.

Fabulous performance from the team.

Mignolet - 7 - made some good saves but almost costed us a very silly goal. Can't rate him higher I'm afraid.
Flanagan - 8 - Johnson can start packing
Skrtel - 9
Toure - 7
Cissokho - I'll actually rate him this time - 7 - best game in his life
Gerrard - 9 - preformed when it really mattered so he deserves the rating despite the penalty
Henderson - 8
Coutinho - 8
Sterling - 9
Sturridge - 8
Suarez - 8 - unlucky not to score

Subs:

Ibe - 6
Allen - 6
Aspas - not enough time

Mignolet - 8 - Great one handed stop low to the ground ,looked a lot more at ease with his back four. 
Flannagan -9 - I thought he was outstanding today and keeping with the way this forum is going a big two fingers to his doubters . 
Cissokho - 8- Defended like a trojan earlier .
Skrtel - 8 - Gets an 8 for his magnificently directed header ,and for the fact some blurts fail to see he's a quality defender.   
Toure - 7 - Solid display
Gerrard - 9 - Some quality assists ,and tackled and pressed with a vigour we have seen way too little of this season for a player of his calibre.
Henderson - 9 - Brimming with a real zest for the game and was at the heart of us pressing Arsenal back into their own half.
Coutinho - 10 - I said if this lad played well we could win and so it proved ,Arsenal just couldn't cater for his invention ,sparkling display.   

Sterling - 9 - Like an old fashioned winger ,hugging the touchline and causing Arsenal serious problems .....his best game thus far.
Sturridge - 8 - Composed and delightful to watch, the space he made for the runners was intelligent and he proved he possesses a very astute football brain.
Suarez -10 - The well of superlatives has run dry ,but what he gives to this team is immeasurable.   

Subs:

Ibe - 7 - With confidence and games will be a real menace to any defence ,some beautiful deft little flicks.
Allen - 6 The game was already won ,but looked full of fight. 
Aspas -Seriously five minutes and injury time is not enough time to adjudicate

Rodgers -10 Tactical master class that just left Wenger and his Gooners overawed.

Mignolet 8
Cissokho 8
Skrtel 9.5
Toure 8
Flanagan 9
Gerrard 9, even giving away a penalty it was still a 9
Henderson 8
Coutinho 9
Sterling 9
Suarez 8
Sturridge 8

Rodgers 10 - to destroy those at the top of the EPL requires tactical perfection. MOTM.
