Lovren - 8 - from mister floppy to mister dependable
Toure - 7.5 - was a bit erratic but good game overall and did his job
Moreno - 6 - probably the player with the lowest IQ there. Could have costed us the game if he conceded the pen
Can - 8 - never put a foot wrong, hardly missed a pass or lost a duel. Amazing run for the first goal
Milner - 8 - didn't score or assist but was everywhere and first to every ball
Lallana - 8 - hard work, a lot of pressing, the usual Lallana stuff, plus the goal
Coutinho - 7.5 - showed some skills and sprayed the ball nicely

Sturridge - 7 - scored, did his job

Lallana - 7.5 - didn't get involved until the latter parts of the game, but did well
Firmino - 9 - motm for me. the Villareal defense couldn't handle him
Coutinho - 7.5 - lively and creative without the final skill
Sturridge - 7 - Finally showed some energy, but how wasteful can you be?

Too little time really

Mignolet - 7.0 - confident, couple of good saves, eg first minute!
Clyne - 7.0 - solid
Toure - 7.0 - played a full part, didn't flag,no problem to play him in the final.
Lovren - 8.0 - what a turn around, suddenly showing why he was so highly rated
Moreno -6.0  - doc'd a point for that silly push in the box which could have gifted an away goal
Can - 8.0 - what a player at only 22
Milner - 8.0 - you get what's written on the can, 100% effort. Brings maturity to the MF
Lallana - 7.0 - good work rate but not a stand out player - seems to be his style
Firmino - 8.0 - excellent, but will he turn up for the final?
Coutinho - 7.0 - tricky and adds to the pressure when defenders have 2-3 class players to cope with
Sturridge - 7.0 - Mr Wasteful, if he'd passed we could have had 3 more

Mignolet - 7 - couple of good saves early
Clyne - 7.5 - good game, looked solid
Lovren - 8 - very solid
Toure - 7.5 - A couple of wobbles but still solid
Moreno - 6 - Always looks like a mistake in him but covered ground
Can - 8 - Impressive!
Milner - 8 - Great vision, work rate and dependability. Great captains performance.
Lallana - 7 - worked hard, covered ground and scored a goal. Should have had more but for poor finishing.
Coutinho - 7.5 - Good game, his slick passing opened them up. Worked hard defensively
Firmino - 8.5 - My MOM. Was instrumental in the tree goals and ran all over the pitch.
Sturridge - 7 - scored, could have had three. Happy to see him celebrate the goal with the team rather than on his own with the stupid dance.

Can - 7 - good comeback from injury, very steady
Milner - 8 - wow... what a transformation this guy is making...
Lallana - 7 - his usual self... always involved but not very deadly
Firmino - 8 - wow...did anyone see the spin move he did on Villareal's RB? probably the best game i've seen him play
Coutinho - 7 - abit too slow for his standard... but grew into the game. Late 2nd half he was very good.
Sturridge - 8 - you shouldn't drop him when he's fit. A difference maker, a world class striker.

LIVERPOOL V VILLARREAL

MINGOLET - 7 a couple of decent saves early on and generally looked composed throughout the game
CLYNE - 7 solid performance
LOVREN - 8 terrific block at the beginning of the second half epitomised his performance
TOURE - 7 one of two loose passes/shanked clearances but generally played well
MORENO - 6 my heart was in my mouth when he pushed Suarez over
CAN - 8.5 my MoM, hard to believe he only turned 22 a few weeks ago, going to be a star this lad
MILNER - 7.5 mister reliable, not a world beater but won't let anyone down
LALLANA - 7.5 his movement, ability to close defenders down and ball control put Villarreal under real pressure all night
FIRMINO - 8 ditto, terrific performance
COUTINHO - 7 played well
STURRIDGE - 8 should have probably had a hat trick but gave us a real cutting edge that we lacked in the first game

Liverpool V Watford - EPL - Sunday 8th May


Mignolet - 8 - made another couple of really good saves, been very good of late
Flanagan - 7 - did well, nice and solid on his come back game
Skrtel - 7 - did really well, no mistakes today
Lucas - 6 - did ok
Moreno - 7 - put in a hard working performance
Allen - 8 - did really well in there and bagged a rare goal
Stewart - 8.5 - my man of the match, big fan of this kid, hope he doesn't get pushed out for big names in summer
Ibe - 3 - tripe
Ojo - 6 - did ok, has real pace, would like to see more end product, I remain a big fan
Coutinho - 7 - had a decent game
Benteke - 5 - wasted quite a few chances

Subs...

Firmino - 7.5 - looked really good when he came on, scored a good goal and setup some chances wasted by others
Brannagan - 6 - did ok

Mignolet - 8 Pulled a proper world class save out of the bag to  keep us in the game
Flanagan - 6 Was beaten on his inside more than a few times, but overall kept it simple 
Skrtel - 8 Big Martin showed why in certain games having a no nonsense defender can be the difference in keeping a clean sheet ,his application was first class 
Lucas - 8 Thought he acquitted himself well in the CB position ,reads the game at the back in a similar vein to  Carragher.   
Moreno - 7 His best defensive game for a while ,kept his flank well covered all game. 
Allen - 6 Got the goal ,but a bit sloppy with the ball at his feet ,I think he's rushing his play too much trying to adapt to 90 mile an hour football .
Stewart - 6 Tidy enough ,but doesn't have the ability  to really impose himself on the opposition
Ibe - 4 Decision making is appalling for a player taxed with providing service from the wing .
Ojo - 6 The lad looks a talent and always beats his man ,just needs to work on his crossing.
Coutinho - 7 I thought Coutz was running out of ideas by the 20 min mark ,never really attempted to bring Benteke into the game. 
Benteke - 6 Good knock down ,and was on the end of some astute through balls from Firmino ,but should have scored from Brannagan's delightful cross.

Firmino 8 Intelligent player who creates chances out of nothing and links the play up well when he's on the pitch.
Brannagan 8 For the limited time he was on he never put a foot wrong ,and his sweeping cross for Benteke highlighted the lads talent , big future ,and the Kop love him.
