I just read Shaggys post and thanks for that. The timesonline gave their ratings of the match and wondered if anyone agreed with them. They are as follows.
Player ratings: Liverpool: Reina 7, Arbeloa 8, Agger 7, Carragher 7, Aurelio 7, Alonso 8, Mascherano 8 (Riise 82min), Pennant 6, Gerrard 5 (Kuyt 56min, 5), Gonzalez 5 (Zenden 69min), Crouch 8
Personally I rated us this way
Reina 8, dropped a few balls but always shows good judgement of when to come and when to stay etc.
Arbeloa 8, Great game, settling in well
Agger 7, Not his best game TBH but forming a great partenership with Carra
Carragher 7.5, Solid enough as usual
Aurelio 7.5, Impressive understanding with Gonzo and always looks a threat with his crosses
Alonso 7.5, Looked comfortable playing with Mascherano and played second fiddle to him TBH
Mascherano 8.5 (Riise 82min), Second best only to Crouchy. Not good enough for West Ham but surely good enough for a regular start with us.
Pennant 7.5 Really tried hard today and while some things didn't come off for him, he looked an improved player today.
Gerrard 7 (Kuyt 56min, 5), Not his best game but he could have had a goal or two if Crouchy linked up better with him.
Gonzalez 7 (Zenden 69min), Showed some good moments today and a big improvement.
Crouch 8.5 Took his chances really well and must start against PSV IMO.
