Jones - 6 Didnt have a great deal to do but handled well and its another clean sheet
Wisdom - 8 This guys gonna be great. Passing equally as good as defending last night. Was that really only his sixth game for us?
Skrtel - 6 Did what he had to do. Nothing more
Agger - 7 Same as Skrtel but got forward a little more to support.
Johnson - 7 Got forward well before going off at half time. Injured?
Gerrard - 6 OK game from Stevie. Should have scored with the header
Sahin - 6 Solid. Not spectacular
Shelvey - 6 Not one of his better games
Downing - 7 didnt notice him too much first half. Better at left back and a good goal.
Suarez - 6 Hopefully better on Sunday. Buzzing about but not much
Assaidi - 8 Man of Match - I love the Assman. Looking a bargain signing. Did someone say Mcmanassaidi on here yesterday?
Sterling - 6 Some decent moments for Raheem.
Agree?

The Assman, Wisdom and Skrtel were our three best players.
Johnson was also excellent before being replaced at half time.

I went last night
We defended very well in the main, they barely had a chance.
Wisdom the pick purely because he was up against Zhirkov who is one of the best marauding full backs around. Wisdom was never troubled.
Sahin was decent but I prefer him further up the pitch personally where he influences the game more. Him and Stevie were very deep first half and we struggled o create anything.
Shelvey didn't receive the ball often enough, Downing did nothing, Suarez was poor by his standards and Assaidi was the only attacking spark.
Ass man played really well and was always a threat.
2nd half we pushed Gerrard on a bit more, Downing combined well with Ass man and Sterling livened up the right side.
Good team performance overall, and the fact we beat a good team with several of our attacking players having an off day is a good sign.
Since Suarez joined we haven't won many games when he has played badly. We did last night and it wasn't just any old team we beat, they are top of the Russian league at the moment.

skrtel was lucky to stay on in my opinion, shocking challenge where he caught the player in the midrift
i thought suarez played quite well for you guys, but thought gerrard was quite poor to be honest.
did like the the look of that young morrocan lad though, very decent on the ball.

Trust me that was not a good Suarez performance! Nothing came off for him. He kept working as always but he was not on his game at all.

Thought Skrtel played a great game.
Assaidi was also brilliant.
Shelvey had a better time with his tackling yesterday no tackles that made you wince.
Agger MOTM just for trying to steal the ball and get that goal

I thought Gerrard and Shelveys first touch was poor throughout the game and it affected the flow of at times. Ass was my MOM, he can beat his man for fun.

I know Downing scored a belter but he also played a few awful passes in defence in the second half that could have been very costly.
Just a 6 at best maybe 5.
