Player Ratings LFC vs. Werder Bremen

[El Jefecito]

Unfortunately, I missed most of the 2nd half so would appreciate everyones take on how each player performed.

From what I could see Xabi and Sir Stevie played better than last season and Momo and "The Crow" were our best performers. That about right?

[Sion]

Voronin easily best player.
Yossi, Torres and Babel all impressed
Gerrard and Pennant were lively

The Crow was MOM so he gets 10. Gerrard was okay, so was Pennant. But I really don't give a monkeys' for that, I was watching the game today just because I wanted to see how our new signings play.

They were brilliant! Like I've said Voronin played superb, Torres is fast as a snake, great 1:1 dribbler and linked up with Kuyt quite good. Benayoun was okay and Babel wasn't half bad either (just needs to improve his lousy shooting).

[AFII]

Kuyt and Crouch will need to work very hard to get a place upfront.

[Shaggy]

Almost impossible to give ratings in a friendly like that, with so many players used.

Voronin was ace though. Torres' pace off the mark was electric - I didn't realise he was quite so quick. Only little glimpses but encouraging all the same.

Momo was irrepressible as the wrecking ball. He won seemingly everything.

The Crow

And Momo is still boss

What about Paletta and Hyypia as a backline. I don't think they can cut it. Also as Shaggy said Hobbs didn't really influence the match much. That was even more obvious when Momo came on as he showed how it should be done. The Viera comparisons were justified today!!!!!!!!!!

[Pacman]

I can't believe people were saying we should sell Momo.

The bloke is an animal.

[tomasjj]

Benayoun is no winger.
That showed.

[Guest]

Voronin was very impressive. Quick, lots of awareness, good passing and great game intelligence. He's a serious contender for a first team start based on that form. We have great competition upfront.

[Pacman]

Benayoun is no winger.
That showed.

And babel doesn't like being stuck on the left.

[El Jefecito]

Benayoun is no winger.
That showed.

Give him a chance, FFS.

[RedReet]

Momo was irrepressible as the wrecking ball. He won seemingly everything.

Not only that, he didn't waste one single ball either. That's not even an exaggeration, as I played close attention after backing him up earlier. He even played a few adventurous balls.

Momo

And of course the Crow

Gonna be an interesting fight for places up front this year.

[tomasjj]

Give him a chance, FFS.

Ehm, relax. I don't want us to sell him or anything....

I said he didn't look like a winger.
He looks more like a player suitable to play behind the strikers.
