I'd say :-
Pepe - had a very good game. Voted him man of the match.
Agger - Average and had a few lapses.
Skrtel - Average didn't do too much wrong and solid.
Johnson - Had a very good game. Admire his courage and ablity to take on defenders and bring the ball into the box. If we had a few others doing the same, we would have won the game.
Enrique - Put up another very good performance and nearly scored. As usual doubled up as winger and left back. Showed much more grit and determination. Love the way he argued with the linesman for the disallowed goal. In terms of courage and determination, other must emulate him.
Allen - Mr. Neat, but all those passes means nothing when it's not effective and always chose the safe route. Slowly turning into Hendo II.
Downing - Don't know what to say about him except he can't blame BR for not giving him an opportunity. He simply refused to do a proper job. In years to come, he will look back and tell himself that his back passes are the ones that let him down.
Hendo - The runnig man as usual.
Gerrard - He's not himself of late. Looks like he's bothered with some personal problems. He seems to have lost a yard of two of pace. He simply can;t play as a defensive mid, he's simply not interested. If I'm BR i'll give him an extended break to sort himself out. Jonjo would have to be the defensive mid in the meantime until Lucas is back and get Stevie to play further up the field.
Sterling - nearly scored but really really need to make his final passes counts, it's going nowhere at the moment, otherwise all his great runs will come to nothing.
Suarez - Amazing as he can be but really needs to have more respect for others. How many times I've seen him scolding Raheem and Enrique when he did not get the ball from both. It's pretty clear Raheem doesn;t work well with Suarez and soon Enrique as well. BR will need to step in and sort that out, otherwise, we'll never have teamwork here. Doesn't looks surprising why we're so fragmented in the final third when the front line can't see eye to eye with each other, until Jonjo came on. Or maybe, I'm over critical.
Jonjo - at least he took the trouble to run and put himself in front of the goalkeeper. Greater urgency as soon as he came on and the Swanseas defense wwas jittery.
