[Bootle Buck]

Reina - 7 Solid game ...welcome back

Finann - 7 easy game and got forward well

Agger 6 - Nothing to do

Carra 6 - See Agger

Sami - See Carra and Agger

Gerrard 7 - Got forward well, got a little greedy at the end

Alonso 6 - Played well

Aurellio 7 - Got forward well and some nice moves in 2nd half

Bellamy 8 - Looked dangerous all game, could have had a hatful

Kuyt 7 - Worked hard deserved a goal

Crouch 7 - Did well with two goals to boot

 

Pennant 6 - Muscled off it a few times

Riise 6

Kuyt 6

[McBain]

Not sure Kuyt deserved 13 out of 10

 

I'd say everybody was maybe a 7 with Bellamy getting a 9

[Toni]

Alonso deserves an 8. superb in the middle of the pitch

Bellamy 9

Finnan 8 (most others would have put their foot through it and hit the sidenetting for his excellent assist to Bellamy)

Reina 8 (excellent punching all day & helped make us look much more comfortable in the air at the back)

 

7 all round for the rest.

Great win but Watford were really poor, probably the weakest team we played this season. I'd give everyone a 7, maybe Stevie/Bellers as candidates for an 8.

Young who ?

Thought Finnan and Bellamy were far and away the best players, easy 8`s others 6.5 to 7`s.

Not specifically directed towards the above post, but am getting a bit hacked off by people disregarding Pennant's contribution. OK, he was disadvantaged because we paid (what seems) over the odds for him, but, after a slow start, he's been really impressive in the last few weeks and, as far as I'm concerned, looks to have the potential to be the solution to our long-running right-sided problem. People clearly don't like him for being a wide-boy, ankle-tag activist, but it's about time they gave him a chance. If he was a Scouser, he certainly would have been given more leeway...

Penant is improving but he has several weaknesses - the biggest one being his scoring ratio - typically from a wide creative player I would expect 10 goals a season
