How we rated the Irons v Liverpool
Reid: Played well, again. Looks solid and is clearly the main organiser at the back 7
Ogbonna: Obviously has such total confidence in his positioning that he never needs to check where the opponents are 6
Nordtveidt: Universal groans when he was named but he stuck at it under considerable pressure. I have to give him an assist as well 7
Cresswell: Top-class left back and offers so much more playing there. Some calm defending in the closing stages 7
Obiang: Went down very professionally to win Payet’s free kick 6
Noble: One of the skipper’s classic ‘chasing down everything’ performances, including Milner whom he cleaned out with a crunching tackle 7
Lanzini: Was pressed hard and had little time when in possession. Very energetic display in defensive areas 6
Payet: Got us back into the game with a trademark free kick. Responded to my accusations of not getting stuck in and somehow avoided giving away a penalty on halftime in doing so 7
Antonio: All pace, power and enthusiasm up front for an hour and pounced for the second We lost our threat when he was shifted to right-wing back before ending up playing off Carroll 8
Ayew: Pretty peripheral. Methinks Swansea identified him as a luxury they could afford to do without in a relegation battle. Drifted inside once and got a shot away before being replaced 5
Subs
Carroll: Won his first four headers up front and some key ones in our box. Certainly got stuck in on his return to Anfield 5
Fernandes: Released Antonio when he took over at right wing-back 5
