Reina - 7.5
Johnson - 6 (lost his man for their 2nd goal, and never once got passed Valencia on the outside)
Agger - 5.5 (just doesn't look the same at the mo)
Skrtel - 6 (basic errors, too tight on times)
Wisdom - 7.5 (impressed with him, and was my motm)
Lucas - 5 (he's labouring at the moment, players are just going passed him and he's fouling to keep up)
Allen - 3.5 (oh my...sorry, he needs a massive break, or something)
Gerrard - 7 (solid, busy, but ultimately overrun in the fist half due to the combo of Lucas/Allen not performing)
Surarez - 6 (sloppy in the one game he should have been on fire, disappointed with him today)
Downing - 6 (didn't do much, but who did? whilst not bombing forward, he was no better or worse than others)
Sterling - 5 (his time is not now)
Borini - 6.5 (love him, hungry, never gives up, his movement must be a nightmare for defenders, and he links up really well)
Sturridge - 7 (dangerous, and Suarez will be a better player because of him)
Henderson - 6 (no real impact, not enough time)
Gaffer - 6 (you cannot play Lucas and Allen in the same midfield at the same time)
Webb - 8 (good game)
Linesman - 0.001 (missed the offside for their 2nd goal)
I'm going to come and say it, and if I'm wrong, I'm wrong and I'll be the first to admit it, I think Lucas is finished. That was one serious knee injury, and I think he's lost half a yard of pace, and in the position, where you have to hound and close down, it's critical.
Also, Joe Allen. Defended him yesterday, but after today's 'big' game, I don't think he is good enough at the top level.
Love Sturridge, and Borini is a very clever player and will be an asset to us long term.
Agger and Skrtel, I said they needed to have big games today, but Agger went missing. Said at the season's start, I'm not worried about us scoring goals, I'm more concerned with us not keeping them out.
Only one team in it second half, but you cannot give these scum a 2 goal head start and play for only 30 minutes.
We were so bad we made them look good, but they weren't.
All in all, fed up.
