# Liverpool v Swansea: The Player Ratings

![](https://cdn.footballtransfertavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/EngFraTweets110612.jpg)

**Liverpool**

**Renia :** Man of the match. Kept his team in the game, whilst also shown his commitment to club ad-mist speculation  by going into a 50/50 challenge with Dyer. **Score 8.5.**

**Johnson:** Got caught to much in possession, didn’t know when to pass the ball. Albeit some chances came about from this. **Score 6.5**.

**Skrtel:** Was one of the contenders for man of the match in my book. Looked calm and composed on the ball, I’ve said it before but I think he’s coming on leaps and bounds under Brendan. **Score 8.0**.

**Agger:** Solid as a rock. **Score 7.5**.

**Downing:** Although the player seemed to have regained some of his confidence, he neither provided any defensive stability or attacking flare. A performance that will surely move him closer to the exit door. **Score 5.5**.

**Sterling:** Unlucky not to score. Another fantastic contribution from the 17-year old. One of Liverpool’s bright sparks yet again. **Score 7.5.**

**Allen:** Tidy as always. You will be expecting a bit more once Lucas is back. **Score 6.5.**

**Gerrard:**  Orchestrated probably the best pass of the game, nothing we’ve not come to expect from the Liverpool Captain. Looking more and more like a holding player though, as Shelvey looks more like the player Gerrard was. Gerrard no longer has the speed or Guile he used to, very much a victim of his own success as Liverpool fan’s have come to expect Super Steve G. **Score 7.0**.

**Erinque:** Played really well, getting in some good area’s. Was unlucky not to score. Will be interesting to see if he will be going as rumoured, as I think he has stepped up to the plate in recent games.

**Henderson:** Provided some energy and looked more comfortable in this role. However, he never really stood up to the plate and was rightly substituted with Downing. **Score 6.0.**

**Suarez:** Was a bit isolated up-front. Swansea handled him well. Made a few moments of brilliance. **Score 7.0.**

Subs:

**Joe Cole:** Had no impact. **Score 5.0.**

**Shelvey:** Had no impact on the play per se, Had a pile-driver near the end. Something we’ve come to expect from Steven Gerrard. **Score 6.5.**

**Swansea**

**Tremmel**:  Some good shot stopping on display. Didn’t put his body on the line as much as Renia hence the score. **Score 8.0.**

**Rangel:** Did well defensively, was very tidy and worked well in the unit. **Score 6.0.**

**Williams:** Looked very good indeed as he kept Suarez in check. Was on par with the Liverpool defenders. **Score 7.5.**

**Chico:** Looked alright, however he was caught sometime in bad positions. Maybe was a bit too adventurous as well. **Score 6.0.**

**Davis:** Was Solid. Score 6.0.

**Routledge**: In and out of the game. Posed a threat with his pace. **Score 7.5.**

**Britton**: Played really well, had great awareness and close control skills which made him a nuisance of Swansea going forward and also whilst defending. **Score 8.0.**

**De Guzman**: Didn’t think he had much of an impact. Rightly substituted for Ki.

**Hendandez**: Played really well, was a real threat with his foot-work and industry. Looked almost Suarez like. **Score 8.0.**

**Michu:** Provided threat with his presence. Never got into the game though was very slow, unlike his other team mates. **Score 6.0.**

Subs:

**Ki:** Didn’t do anything special. Matched Joe Allen in the middle of the pitch. Kept his team ticking. **Score 6.5.**

**Dyer:** Was a good replacement for Routledge, almost straight swap. Provided great pace and a threat going forward. **Score 6.5.**
