Reina -7- must be quiest derby hes ever had
Carragher -8- aside fro the wreckless tackle on Pinear he was pretty good today, still looks like a fish out of water at fullback, some really poor attempts at crossing, looked much better when switched inside
Kyrgiakos -4- stupid tackle that put us in a terrible position, missing for 3 games now
Agger -6- much prefer the shape of the team when hes in the side
Insua -6- he slowly seems to be recovering his confidence, got caught out late by Anichebe
Lucas -6- one of his better games, hes more suited to this type of gae than anything requiring sublety or attacking flair
Mascherano -8- back to his best, fool blooded commitment, you suspect he really looks forward to the games where tackles start flying
Gerrard -7- controlled but effective, still a long way short of his explosive best, thats become the norm this season
Rodriguez -5- didnt do anything of erit good or bad
Kuyt -8- another who is better suited to these sort of occasions, tireless and snatched the vital oppurtunity. His recent spell upfront has proved hes really a forward not a wide player. Seems to love the derby
Ngog -6- tough, he was very isolated especailly after the sending off but he managed to win freekicks and releive soe pressure, he has come on alot since the start of the season
Babel -5- we were in a holding pattern by the time he played and as such didnt get much of the ball, good to see hi back in the frame though
Aurelio -5- nothing of note to report
Rafa -7- got it right with the Lucas for Aqualani call, I dont believe the Maxi gamble paid off as he never got into the game, another win and another clean sheet, another defensive reshuffle required in the next week
