Player ratings v sunderland

[paulcooper4]

IMO of course.

Reina 7 - one walkabout moment where arbeloa saved him. Otherwise very assuring.
Finnan 7 - Both full backs were told to stay back ny Rafa and just defend. Never put a foot wrong.
Hyppia 7 - Never made a mistake before his nose exploded
Carra 7 - Never made a mistake before his ribs exploded
Arbeloa 8 - Outstanding. Both at full back AND centre back.
Pennant 8 - Played well and made me laugh with THAT throw in.
Alonso 7 - Man marked to **** but still played some killer passes.
Momo 9 - Awesome. 7000th lfc goal too
Babel 7 - Started quietly but grew into himself as the game went on.
Torres 8 - Fantastic striker. Missed a few good chances though.
Voronin 8 - Movement, workrate, intelligence. Great performance.

Subs :-
Agger 7 - Handled whatever came his way
Riise 7 - Defensively sound
Kuyt - Never got enough time.

Rafa 9 - Got the tactics spot on. We`d have drew this at best last year.

Referee 8 - Didnt get much wrong and kept the game flowing as much as possible, which was some feat given the physical approach by sunderland.

Fans 10 - Awesome performance from start to finish.

What happened with that throw in?

[El Diego]

I would have given the ref a 10. He was brilliant, which makes a change.

[Colemere]

I would only give Babel a 5, today he looked like Cisse, uninterested, raw and a ****e touch.

I do like the lad though

I think he showed more good touches than Cisse did his entire time here.

His skill in the first half was ok, but other than that he kept kicking the ball too far away

[MARTINOZ]

Babel looked so much better later on when he switched sides - left winger is definitely not his position . Torres looked tired half way through the 2nd half , but came to life near the end again . Momo and JP were our two best players by far . A good solid performance , with some glimpses of magic by the lads , can't wait until we get a full head of steam up .

Spot on Paula, though none of the subs got above 6 in my book.

Depends on how you do your ratings though. I start at 7 for doing nothing wrong. In my head you have to **** up to get a 6

6 - average
7 - good
8 - very good
9 - excellent
10 - world class and MOM by a street.



Like the olde CM games you start at 6 and work up or down from there.

**** off bob and rate your own

[Pablo]

I think Babel is going to be ****ing phenomenal. He was in and out of the game today and was poor in the second half until the last 10 minutes or so (ironically when he was meant to be subbed off) BUT....

My God is he skillfull. I laugh at you all when you question his first touch, he is THE most skillful player we have had since Barnes IMO. That bit of skill he did out on the left wing near the end of the first half was just breath taking and made me grin from ear to ear. He loves to take the piss out of people and I ****ing love that. We need that arrogance. Seriously we havent had that since Barnes.

Admittedly his first touch today was off at times but he is just adjusting to getting hacked at each time he got the ball. Their fullback was scared of him thats for sure, just like Torres they crapped themself each time he got the ball. If he can make the most of that, like Ronaldo does, he will have won half the battle before he even starts the game.

I think if we are patient and let him ease his way into the team by christmas the lad will be in full flow and I really believe we have another star on our hands. He is just so classy on the ball and he normally makes the right decisions too which shows maturity.

In just a couple of appearances I think he has shown enough in flashes of what he will deliver over the coming years, the lad's a joy to watch.

Canna be ****ed. It's more fun ripping apart other people's half-arsed, ill-thought out efforts.

How's that fer bait Paula. :CRACKOFF:
