Didnt see that anyone else had started one so here it is

 

Kuyt-9 brilliant, worked hard all game, held the ball up, created chances for others, and scored himself. I can't help feeling this is the striker we have been waiting for for a long time. One who will become a player for the record books.

 

Crouch 8 both forwards did well and linked up well. Constantly a threat, got quieter as the game progressed took his goal very well from a half chance

 

Garcia 8 When he's on fire, he's on fire. Was a constant threat down the left, put in some good crosses, scored a great goal, they just could not knock him off the ball at times. If only he was like this all the time.......

 

Gerrard 7 linked up well with the forwards not a dominant performance but a good one.

 

Sissoko 6 poor first half. got better in the second. Constantly being picked on by the refs seems to have affected him. He jumps into tackles with both arms raised as if expecting to be penalised, more often than not, does not win the ball but still disrupted Villa's play. In the second half, he started to actually run with the ball and pass......much better and showed what he is capable of

 

alonso.7 nice workmanlike performance

 

Hyppia 8 all over the place. Don't know how he does it despite being slow. Some great tackles and was constantly going foward. Set up Kuyts goal. Thought it bizarre that he was there to set it up to begin with

 

Carra 7 did well and almost set up a goal with a cross. Constantly directing high pitched screams to disorient Villa forwards

 

Risse 7 really linked up well with Garcia on the left

 

Finnan 6 Did ok.

 

Reina 7 Did well, one great save and some great punches. Had no chance with theit goal

 

 

The first half hour, I couldn't help but notice that Crouch and Kuyt had to drop back in midfield as they weren't getting the ball. Neither of them are particularly quick so them getting the ball 40 yards from goal accomplished nothing. Garcia was our furthest player forward at that point. As soon as we started to get the ball to Kuyt and Crouch in the box they showed what they were capable off. Sissoko needs to actually hold onto the ball more and pass as he did in the second half.

Agree with all of the above. Spot on.

Reina got a 5 from sky ffs, they said he 'Looked suspect'

 

They had Garcia as MOM with 9 'Tricky and Dangerous'

 

and Kuyt only got a 7

 

Idiots.

Reina had no chance with the goal, made a good save & caught everything (admittedly little) that came at him, apart from one punch which ended up near the hw line.

 

I'd go with

 

Reina 6

Finnan 7

Carra 6

Sami 7

JAR 7

Xabi 7

Momo 7

Gerrard 7

LG 8

Kuyt 8

Crouch 8

 

Subs didn't have enough time

 

We were very good, but not scintillating. A very competent, professional team performance

I also thought Xabi was very good, few misplaced passes, and a strange Gerrard like surge into the box at one point.

 

Kuyt's the man for me though. Was watching his movement. He never stands still - must be a nightmare to mark.

gerrard was comfortably our best player i thought.

oh and alonsos' passing was not sharp.

 

I thought he was no where near our best, still gave the ball away, his passing is still not as sharp as it should be, but fair play to the lad, his work rate was triple what it was at old trafford, he kept the shape which led to Xabi and Momo having a bit more space in the middle, a sound captains display and I get the feeling the blockbusting displays aren't that far away.

Best player my a***. Way to many miss placed passes.

 

He worked hard but the team carried him today.

 

Fair play to Stevie Finnan having to play both right back and right wing.

 

Gerrard kept drifting into the middle looking for the ball. He'd have been better off staying wide. He looked to be getting in Sissoko and Alonsos way.

 

Thought Carra,Reina, Riise and Alonso looked in much better form today.

 

Sami was great. Sissoko played well also.

 

Thought the front 3 of Garcia, Kuyt and Crouch were very good.

 

MOM between Garcia and Hyppia.

Xabi looks great when he has the time to spray the ball around. However, when closed down he gets caught on the ball a bit. Luckily today he wasn't too pressured.

 

 

What's amazing is how the commentators never seem to notice an errant ball from Gerrard. I thought he gave the ball away cheaply today yet it never seems to get a mention.

Should have added to the previous thread.

Player Ratings

 

Reina - 7.5 - very good today. That save 2nd half was brilliant.

Finnan - 7.5

Hyppia -8.5

Carragher 7 - would have been 8 but for getting caught out for the Villa goal.

Riise - 7.5 worked hard all game and got a few great crosses in.

 

Gerrard -6.5 - worked hard but still a bit sloppy in his play.

Sissoko - 8 - tireless performance.

Alsono 8 - played well today and covered a lot of ground also.

Garcia 8.5 - full of tricks today. Took his goal well, and might have had a second.

 

Crouch - 7.5 - took his goal well and showed some lovely touches.

Kuyt 8 - Love him. He's a class player.

Reina 7 - Looks like he is getting better now. More confident, and a great save from Sutton.

Finnan 7

Carra 7

Sami 7

Riise 6 - Lets them cross too easily from his side, also pulled out of challenges... got some good crosses in though.

Momo 6 - Ran a lot, very sloppy passing!

Xabi 8 - Good game. Playmaking.

Gerrard 7 - Getting better now, wasted some balls, but more guts this time. A goal would do him good.

Garcia 8 - Tireless performance, always willing to try and create, and good runs into the box.

Crouch 6.5 - Good goal, if a bit flukey. Decent on the ground, but loses too many headers. Nice pass for Garcias goal.

Kuyt 8 - Workmanlike, nice goal...intelligent interplay. Good game.

I haven't a f***ing clue where some people get their ratings from, dodgy internet views I presume: Alonso was excellent today.
