Sterling should be 10 just for beating samba in the air

Give Skrtel a 7 as was a good all round defensive display with a clean sheet and Sterling a 7 as well, we opened them up a lot more when he came on. We made a fairly good team look distinctly average last night...

Didn't get to see the game, did we only make the one sub?

Skrtel made some great tackles towards the end of the game that saved us the 3 points. I think he was our best defender last night and is looking like the player we had last season, after a wobbly start this season.

Skrtel was quality last night, shoulder charging Traore 30 yards was the icing on the cake. Sahin was quiet, I thought Downing did well first half as well as in the second.

Suarez had a bad game, Sterling did well when he came on. Needs a little more composure.

We made 2 subs. Sterling and Allen on for Johnson and Shelvey

Thought Skrtel played really well

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.

Jones 6
Wisdom 7
Skrtel 8
Agger 8
Johnson 6
Sahin 7
Gerrard 7
Shelvey 5
Downing 7
Suarez 7
Assaidi 8

Sterling 7

That ass touch near the end from the long range pass was fecking amazing

Jones deserves a bit more from me

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.
