The Reds were made to sweat yet again at home by a pugnacious Newcastle United on Sunday, in a Premier League match which kept the fans at the edge of their seats.
In the following article, we will take a look at how different http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Liverpool-c39809 players fared in the fixture and rate their overall performance on a scale from 1 to 10.
Brad Jones – 6
The Reds shot-stopper was largely untroubled during the game, but put up a decent performance overall. However, he would be a little gutted to have conceded a goal from a rather acute angle.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Daniel-Agger-c9884 – 6.5
The Dane had, as expected, a busy outing on Sunday. The defender was able to keep Papiss Cisse and http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Demba-Ba-c10812 quiet for a large portion of the match and also chipped in with valuable contributions upfront.
Jose Enrique – 4.5
The Spaniard might have fed a remarkable long ball for Luis Suarez which resulted in the hosts’ equalizing goal. However, he came up with a helter-skelter performance, struggling to provide good passes and had difficulty marking the Magpies attackers.
Martin Skrtel – 6.5
The defender was up to the mark from the start to the end, constantly closing out spaces for the Newcastle strikers and was also impressive aerially.
Andre Wisdom – 5
The youngster was, at times, nervy and has put up more convincing performances than the one on Sunday. Often, he was wayward with his first touch and it can be said that he had an off day.

The Liverpool skipper was once again one of the star performers for his team. He provided a handful of potent crosses inside the box for the attackers and occasionally took a shot or two at the goal himself.
Joe Allen – 6.5
The ever consistent Joe Allen played his part well once again, dictating the pace of the game at the heart of the field and helped the Reds dominate the midfield battle.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Nuri-Sahin-c28251 – 6
The Turkish International played in spells and was not consistent during his time on the field.
Suso – 5.5
The teenager looked threatening at times while charging forward, but was not at his very best. He failed to collaborate with his forwards and did not prove to be of much help for Suarez.
Raheem Sterling – 6
The Reds starlet was brisk and cheeky as usual, but the end product was lacking from him.
Luis Suarez – 8.5
The striker was without a doubt, the best player on the field on Sunday. He threatened time and again in front of the Magpies goal and scored peach of a goal in the second half to continue with his goal scoring spree this season.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Stewart-Downing-c34221 – 5.5
The troubled winger failed to disturb the balance of the game after coming on as a substitute and had little or no affect on the events.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Jonjo-Shelvey-c19081 – 5.5
The midfielder made his presence felt after coming on for Suso in the second period. However, he scuppered a simple opportunity when he should have sealed a match-needed win for his team.
