The Reds played out an exciting 1 – 1 draw with Aston Villa at home in the Barclays Premier League, yet how did the individual performances of the players rack up? www.dbuz.com takes a look.
It was Liverpool’s best performance over the past couple of months, yet in the end Kenny Dalglish’s men had to settle for a hard fought point following a late Luis Suarez equalizer.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Steven-Gerrard-c34196 showed that there was plenty of life in him yet as the Reds managed to salvage a point.
The entire squad seemed to have played with more purpose and vigour yet there were a few stand out players whose performances really counted.
Alexander http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Doni-c11553 – Goalkeeper
Liverpool’s stand in goalkeeper found himself making his first Premier League bow since signing for the club at the start of the season. Forced to deputise in the absence of, the suspended, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Pepe-Reina-c29672, Doni seemed solid enough between the two posts and although the keeper had a quiet second half he looked comfortable.
Rating 7.5
John Flanagan – Defender
Another Liverpool player found himself thrust into the starting eleven, Flanagan put in an eager display at Anfield. He may be wondering how he is the first choice right-back having been in the reserves not too long ago, yet injuries to http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Martin-Kelly-c24395 have meant that he is the only natural right-back at the club.
Flanagan defended well on the day and linked up with the attack on numerous occasions, although his final ball does need a bit of work.
Rating 7
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Jamie-Carragher-c17728 – Defender
The http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Liverpool-c39809 vice-captain seems a shadow of his former assertive self, yet he did well to put in a decent performance against the villains. His time in the side is well into its twilight period though his experience does help steady the likes of Flanagan and Kelly when they play.
It was a typical no nonsense Carragher performance and for that the Liverpool players gets a rating of 7.
