Reina - 7 (didn't have much to do, but made a few oustanding saves and commanded his area well)
Carra - 8 (solid yet again, didn't put a foot wrong, paved the way for a good performance from Ayala)
Ayala - 7 (Tidy game)
Johnson - 10 (Outstanding attacking play, one key moment in defence. Everything he touched turned to gold.)
Insua - 7 (Played well overall, not spectacular, but did what was asked of him.)
Masch - 7 (Efficient performance. Passed it well, tackled well)
Lucas - 7 (Great tackling, incisive passing play.)
Kuyt - 8 (A thorn in the side of the Stoke defence, did what was needed and got a goal to boot)
Yossi - 8 (Brilliant performance, would have been a 9 but he took a few too many touches at times and lost the chance for a shot at goal)
Gerrard - 9 (Captain Fantastic at it again. Constantly causing them problems, set up 2 goals)
Torres - 8 (Scored a goal, made some great runs)
Voronin - 6 (Never seemed to settle into the game, but he passed it tidily for the few minutes he was on. Little impact.)
Riera - 6 (Just coming back from injury, couldn't really influence the game much)
N'gog - 7 (Same as above, but was in the right place at the right time to score a goal, which bumps it up to 7.)
