Reina - 8 really not a lot to do but check out his distribution. He was constantly looking to release players. There was a lovely pass with his left foot out to Flano in the 2nd half that was sublime. If the rumours are true and he might be off in the summer the loss will be huge.


Carra - 6 was solid and looked to help out Flano. Did nothing wrong but did nothing great.

Flano -7 was great and benefitted hugely from being next to Carra - who I thought helped him out a lot as did Kuyt. Happy for the lad. Loved his biting tackle on Barry in the 1st half. Cue the Whole of Anfield applauding.

Skittles - 7 was solid and got forward a surprising amount. His best game in a while.

Aurelio - 6 happy that he lasted the 90. Was solid and showed off his left foot at times. Just wish he'd stay fit and show consistency. Showed uncharacteristic bite with his two footed lunge on Johnson I think it was.

Meireles - 7 superb display. Maybe one of those less showy performances but was quietly effective. Then again his cross for Carrolls 2nd was perfect. The best thing Roy ever did was sign this fella.

Lucas - 7 I thought he had a great game. Maybe not as good as Spearing but did everything that was asked of him. Some stupid decisions in the final 3rd but overall a good performance.

Spearing - 8 he was outstanding all game. Passing, tackling, desire! it was all there. IMHO it was his best game for us.

Suarez -9 I've watched the game three times now and I have to say Suarez was amazing. I'm sure people at the ground would agree. He did everything but score (or assist) but his movement was brilliant as was his tracking back. MOM

Kuyt 8 -. At one point the commentator said 'are you sure there is only one Dirk Kuyt on the pitch?' which pretty much sums him up. He was everywhere. Great finish for his goal but as always lacked quality to match his industry. That seems a bit harsh but watch it again and you will see what I mean.

Carroll - 8 what can I say? 2 goals, worked hard, tracked back - looks to be striking up a lovely partnership with Suarez. The future is indeed bright! Imagine getting a couple of quick wingers in next year. He will have a field day!

This from a Citeh website. Makes for interesting reading I think.

Hart - I feel he could have done better for the first goal but no chance with the other two. Made one great stop early on from Suárez but will be annoyed that he conceded three - 5

Boyata - Caught out of position in the first half by Liverpool’s movement, although he improved in this regard after the break. Passing however, was atrocious. Couldn’t find a blue shirt in the second half - 5

Kompany - It shows just how bad we were that Kompany, usually so reliable, struggled to such an extent. For most part, coped with aerial threat of Carroll but was caught out of position and also in possession too often. Needs to be a one-off - 4.5

Lescott - Back to the days of jittery Joleon. Never looked comfortable and was caught out frequently by movement of Liverpool attackers, most notably Suárez. Could face another striker like that in Hernandez at the weekend. I’m fearful - 4

Kolarov - The team as a whole were shambolic but Kolarov was the worst of them all. Just a total and utter aberration. At fault for the second goal where he failed to charge down Kuyt’s shot and for the third. Offered nothing going forward, which is supposed to be his strength. Lost possession so often it became mildly amusing. I’m embarrassed that he’s a City player - 2

Milner - I thought he was one of only a couple of players who actually tried. Worked hard in midfield to make up for the lack of effort shown by Barry and Yaya. Felt sorry for him when taken off - 6

Y. Touré - One good game against Sunderland and then back to the lacklustre lump he’s been all season. No effort, no application and offered us no protection in midfield despite being the one designated to hold. A rasping shot at the end aside, not at all good enough - 4

Barry - It is games like this that make you wonder just how he has played for and captained England. So slow in tracking down the opposition, meaning Lucas and Spearing had all the time in the world to play. No drive from midfield, and like Yaya, gave us no protection in front of defence - 4

A. Johnson - Had the chance to attack his fullback early on, but couldn’t provide Dzeko with any decent service. Should have swapped wings to try and get at the debutant Flanagan on the right, but whether under instruction from Mancini or not, he didn’t - 4

Tévez - Cost us the first goal by getting caught in possession near our box, something that shouldn’t be overlooked just because he got injured. We missed his workrate and drive as Liverpool outfought and outclassed us. Shame about his injury. Depending on severity, could be out for two weeks or the season - 4

Džeko - Contrary to many others who have heavily criticised him, I thought he was the best of a bad bunch. I felt he worked harder and held the ball up better than in most of his appearances. Not given great service or support, but tried to bring others into play. As soon as he gets a goal, I think he’ll show his true quality - 6

Subs

Balotelli - Replaced Tévez early on and showed glimpses of his talent. Couple of wayward shots, but at least, unlike others, he looked as if he wanted to score - 5.5

Silva - Left on bench as Mancini rested him for Saturday, but we missed his control and movement in midfield. When he came on, we improved and started to pose more of a threat. With Tévez out, he is the main man against United - 6

De Jong - His absence highlighted just how important he is. No backbone without him and we were constantly overawed in midfield. Defence were crying out for his shielding - No time to mark
