Player Rating: Chelsea v Liverpool

Right..seperti yang dijanjikan, Mr I will give his player rating on the REDS recent encounter with Chelsea on the last Super Sunday match.

The mighty REDS have won the match where Maxi scored his 1^st goal of the season while Glen Johnson scored against his old club, and it is already 2 months since Fernando Torres score..hahaha.

Here are some guidelines; based on scale 4 to 10 you might want to know. I don’t think there is a player to perform below than 4.

10: Brilliant – Superlative performance

9: Superb – Great performance

8: Remarkable – Very influential performance

7: Very good – Dazzling performance

6: Average – Good game

5: Below Average – Decent game; with some faults

4: Poor – Didn’t have any positive impact to the game

Reina: As usual, commanding at the back and stand out Captain for the team. He brought confidence the team back four. Most notable was his point blank save to deny Ivanovic. Rating: 8

Glen Johnson: Good at going forward but poor at defending. Something that Johnson needs to improve. Couple of times did Johnson was given Malouda times & space. Perhaps Chelsea 1^st goal was from Malouda cross. However, he did finish the game with nice solo effort and important goal for us. Rating: 7

Martin Skrtel: Had a good game by keeping Drogba out of the bay. He won many aerial battles as well. Looks like Carra will be struggling to find his place back. Rating: 7

Daniel Agger: Very intelligent to intercept the pass and position himself. Had a solid game as well. Rating: 7

Enrique: He gave Mata a torrid time. However he failed to track down Sturridge and cost Liverpool the clean sheet. As Johnson is good at going forward, Enrique was largely ineffective when attacking. Rating: 6.5

Kuyt: Had a disappointing game. Apart from his hard work, he was hardly noticeable. He put the ball wide after great play by Henderson. Rating: 6

Lucas: Remarkable performance by the Brazilian in the defensive midfield area. He hardly put the wrong foot, broke the opponents play and track down every Chelsea’s player. Rating: 8

Adam: This is the best performance from Charlie Adam in the REDS so far. His noteworthy contributions were pressurized on Mikel resulting the 1^st goal and diagonal pass to Johnson for the match winning goal. Need to improve on set piece anyway. Rating: 8

Maxi: Daglish hands him 1^st Premier League start and Maxi repays his boss faith by scoring the 1^st goal. His off the ball running always worried the opponent’s defender. Yet he was fading badly in the 2^nd half, suspected due to the lacking match fitness and been replaced by Downing. Rating: 7

Suarez: Constantly worrying Chelsea back line. However he looks like unfocused and seemed unsettled. Been replaced by Caroll. Rating: 7

Bellamy: His intelligent and unselfish played causing havoc in the Chelsea defense. It is from his movement that Maxi scored the 1^st goal. Been replaced by Henderson. Rating: 7.5

Henderson: Another positive impact from Henderson. Most notable was he dribbled pass Cole and Terry to create chance for Kuyt. Rating: 7

Downing & Caroll: Not much impact to the game. Rating: N/A
