Football. It never ceases to amaze.




Player Ratings
Darren RandolphThe locals weren?EUR(TM)t the only ones unemployed on Merseyside.

James Tomkins
Looked quite comfortable at right back, So much so that I would seriously consider starting him ahead of Jenkinson.

Aaron Cresswell
As good this week as he was bad last week.

Winston Reid
Outstanding and might even have scored.

Angelo Ogbonna
How much did they pay for Benteke?

Cheikhou Kouyate
A powerhouse who was as full of running in the 97th minute as he had been in the first.

Mark Noble
Fine goal. Fine game. Must surely appeal the sending off on the grounds of refereeing insanity.

Pedro Obiang
One of those quietly unheralded performances. Stepped in, broke things up, laid it off.

Manuel Lanzini

Dimitri Payet
What a bargain. How much did they pay for Benteke?

Diafra Sakho
Ran himself into the ground and earned the goal for his hard work.

Substitutes
Reece Oxford(Replaced Lanzini) It?EUR(TM)s easy this football lark isn?EUR(TM)t it. Useful game time for the kid.

Matt Jarvis
(Replaced Payet) Looked lively late on and kept the full back busy for the last few minutes.

Josh Cullen
(Replaced Sakho) Not sure if he got a touch but good to get him a few minutes in a Premier League ground. Even if it was half empty by the time he arrived.

Raphael Spiegal
Did not play.

Kyle Knoyle
Did not play.

Martin Samuelsen
Did not play.

Elliot Lee
Did not play.
