Match Ratings

Cech- 6
Bosingwa- 5
Ivanovic- 6.5
Terry - 6
Cole - 6 would have been 5 if not for that goal line save.
Meireles- 6
Ramires- 7 great game apart from the miss MOTM
Lampard- 4 useless
Sturridge- 5 very poor today
Torres- 7
Mata- 7

op mikel brought on to allow us to basically go 3 at the back and allow full backs to push on...

Cech- 6
Bosingwa- 3 - see above
Terry - 6
Ivanovic- 6 - should have played RB
Cole- 5 missed a lot of 50/50s
Meireles- 5
Ramires- 6 game of 2 halfs
Lampard- 5
Sturridge- 5 everyone has bad games
Torres-7 miss shouldn't overshadow good performance but inevitably will
Mata- 7

For me it would be:
Cech 7 had no chance with any of the goals and produced a couple of good saves.
Bosingwa 5 gave away the free kick for the 1st goal and the penalty although it shouldn't have been a penalty.
Cole 5 Nani just tormented him too much.
Ivanovich 6 did nothing wrong but just didnt play like he can.
Terry 7 he tried his best,putting in a few last gasp tackles which saved a few certain goals.
Ramires 7 defensively he was brilliant but going forward he really let us down including that sitter.
Meireles 5 largely anonymous, although his passing was crisp when he had the ball.
Lampard 2 i honestly cant think of anything he did he needs to be dropped for next weekend.
Mata 7 caused Smalling all sorts of problems and created a few decent chances.
Sturridge 6 after being fouled 3 times by Evra in the 1st 20 minutes he just drifted out of the game.
Torres 7 scored our goal although he should have had atleast 3 and could have scored 6 with a bit of luck.

Mata was awful, caused Smalling, a 6 foot 5 centre back playing at right back hardly any problems and basically begged Nani to shoot for the second.
The only players worse were Sturridge and Lukaku who makes Mertesacker look quick and nimble

"Anelka- 6 Didn't do a lot"


Excuse me? You mean "..except for setting up our only goal and working the United right flank so hard that Valencia's strength and speed were needed to deal with him rather than a proper RB in Rafael" perhaps?

My ratings

Cech - 6
Bosingwa - 7
Ivanovic - 8
Terry - 7
Cole - 4.5 (Abysmal,Nani was killing him on the wings)
Meireles - 8
Ramires - 8 (Had a great game but missed a sitter)
Lampard - 5(Well just poor,definitely needs to take a backseat now,off the pace again)
Sturridge - 5.5 (Average,hitting shots wide and constantly losing the ball)
Mata - 8 (Brilliant performance from Mata again played better when he was behind Torres,Anelka and Lukaku as opposed to being on the left wing)
Torres - 8.5 (The confidence,pace,movement and goal were there today)

Anelka - 7 (Good performance from the subs bench again,got an assist not bad)
Lukaku - 4(Could not get into the game)
Mikel - 3(awful)
