Can't be arsed with the whole rigmarole today but here is the abbreviated version ;D

Reina - (C ) - sod all to do.
Carra - (C+) did what he had to do
Skrtel - (C+) - nice to see him back, easy match for him.
Johnson - (B) - quieter game for him as we played over 80% of our possession straight through the middle but still class on the ball.
Insua - (C+) - rather quiet as Riera dominated that wing.
Riera - (B+) - brings a lot to our game with his ball retention and bringing other players into the game. Shooting needs to improve !
Lucas - (B) - had another good game. Not much to criticise about his game this season.
Kuyt - (A minus) - after having a stinker in his last PL match this was Dirka Dirka back to his best as a cohesive force in our attack.
Torres - (C) - it didn't happen for him today but at least we didn't see him get a strop on. Seems to have suffered more than anyone from the internationals.
Gerrard - (A) - if it wasn't for Benny Gerrard would have walked MoM as he was imperious in both midfield and attack. Brilliant.
Benayoun - (A+) MoM - 3 goals (and should have been four as he was not offside and Lucas was not interfering with play) and an assist. Everything he did turned to gold as he tore Burnley apart.

Degen - (C+) - nice little intro for him.
Voronin - (B) - great little assist for Benny's 3rd.
N'Gog - (C) - I am yet to be convinced.

Rafa - (A) - for not messing with a winning format / personnel.

Yossi and Gerrard were awesome.

I wish that 'Casper' poster would actually come out again ... 😉
 
Fernando: 5. Still not clicking yet this season, but he's earned these few off days (when he's still managerd to score 3 in 5), and he'll be back to normal soon.

Pepe, Johnson, Carra, Skittles, Dirk, Riera: 7. Solid, comfortable, professional.

Lucas, Insua: 8. Played very well, always composed and contributed at both ends.

Gerrard: 8.5. Would be 9, but he took a while to get into the game in the first half. Unstoppable after the break and could have had 2 or 3 on another day. Alos LOVED that he refused to go down on 3 seperate occassions, where he had a legimate shout for a penalty.

Yossi: 10. Even before he scored, he was our most dangerous attacker, and his first was a glorious example of composure and skill in a tight spot. Should have scored 4 as that disallowed goal was ONside. Great game.

Subs - Degan: Thought he looked ok when he came on. Composed and willing to get forward.
Ponytail: Well, it IS a lovely ponytail, isn't it?
N'gog: Hard to judge, but I think he looked sharp... Looking forward to seeing what he can do in the Carling Cup.
 
Reina 6
Insua 6
Carra 6
Skrtel 6
Johnson 6
Lucas 6
Gerrard 9
Kuyt 8
Riera 6
Yossi 10
Torres 6
 
Yossi and Gerrard stood out like a sore thumb. It's nearly cheating playing Gerrard when he's in a mood to hurt teams.

Torres was quiet again and seemed a bit uninterested in the first half. There was a few time's when the ball was about 5 yards from him and winnable yet he didn't seem to want to get on it.
 
Yep. I was right behind insua for one cross which Torres could have scored from but just stood on the edge of the box and didn't move. Frustrating
