Reina 6
Made a great save on a Danny Murphy shot, but for the most part was required to do little. A mistake free effort nonetheless.
Fabio Aurelio 4
Aurelio is one of my favorite players, so it pains me to say he was poor. His passing was off and for the most part he was ineffective.
Carragher 6
Another solid match. Wanna take a stab at what his completion percentage for this match was? 98.2% on 57 attempts.
Hyypia 7
Defying logic, the Finn appears to be getting better the more he plays. He lead the side in tackles with 5.
Alvaro Arbeloa 8 Man of the Match
The Spaniard was fantastic in the first half, but less of a factor in the second. I'm sure fatigue had something to do with it. He took on defenders on attack and attackers on defense.
Riise 4
I have no clue as to why Rafa keeps starting the Norwegian when he has plenty of other options. For the most part he was inexistent and ineffective when involved.
Mascherano 7
His first half was forgettable, but his second half oozed class. If he could just study and master Xabi's passing ability, he'd be the best holding/defensive midfield in the world.
Gerrard 5
Was okay, made his usual runs and scored his fifth goal in six games. I expect more and better matches from him, but hopefully he's just preserving such performances when needs be.
Benayoun 5
He probably should have taken the night off. He was adequate in short spurts, but for the most part feckless.
Voronin 6.5
Seemed the threat and determined to be so, but his efforts proved fruitless. A better strike pairing might have done him better.
Crouch 4
So much for Crouch being a catalyst of our attack. Looks like he's reverted back to his normal form, giving the ball away and getting called for fouls. I can't wait to read the rubbish about him putting on anything but a poor display.
Torres 7
Scored a cheeky goal that was simply magic and was a threat the entire time he was on the pitch.
Babel 7
Impressed on the wing and caused havoc among the Fulham defenders. Still thinks he can take on the whole opponent's side by himself, and sometimes it appears he could, but he's got to realize he has ten other teammates out there with him. Once he does, he'll be that much better. Showed a different side to his game though with his tackling abilities.
Lucas 6
Nothing negative to say about the Brazilian's performance. He did what he had to in the time allotted.
