I couldn't give a **** what team Kenny puts out aslong as we win and we won so credit to Kenny!
To be fair to him, he gave Gerrard a 7 when he barely warranted a 5.

What has Andy Carroll got to do to get some praise?
Thank god for Kenny making us a 'cup team' ehJones 10

They just piled on more bitterness where none should be able to be added.
Good enough for me
Domestic cup team.Thank god for Kenny making us a 'cup team' eh
Jones - 7 - Mainly for stepping up to a big occasion with little match preparation and making no mistakes. He didn't exactly fill me with confidence with some of his punches, however.
Johnson - 7 - Good game, was a threat up the right and solid defensively. Quieter than usual, however.
Carragher - 6 - Poor for the goal, other than that he was solid enough.
Skrtel - 7 - Solid.
Agger - 6 - Poor for the goal. Solid otherwise defensively, but offered less than I expected going forward. Still, decent game in an unfamiliar position.
Spearing - 7 - Got stuck into Everton and allowed them no space in the middle. Good game for the lad.
Gerrarrd - 7 - Very quiet first half but got into the game more in the second half and began to pull the strings well.
Henderson - 6.5 - Quiet game. Did nothing wrong as such but nothing particularly spectacular.
Downing - 7.5 - Constant' threat up the right hand side, following a useful performance on the left.
Carroll - 8.5 - Always felt he might nick a goal at the end and I thought his second half performance was close to his best, bar a couple of finishes. Delighted for him.
Suarez - 8 - Thought at half time that he was about to lose his cool. Clmed himself down well and was instramental in the second half.
Maxi - 6.5 - Similar ro Henderson and should have got a goal, but we settled again after he came on having had a dodgy 5 minutes or so.
Bellamy - 7 - Very threatening substitute to have and a fantastic free-kick for the goal.
Kenny - 7.5 - I didn't agree with his initial team selection but from then on I thought he got it spot on. Other managers may have changed things at half time but I felt the decision to leave it as it was for a bit was correct and he timed his subs well, removing and bringing on the correct personnel for the situation.
Second half I though he was good. First half he was awful.
Good is pushing it. Better, perhaps.
That exact team couldn't do nothing before.
So when this group of players start to improve I have to credit them.
No need to get all 'long live the king' on me.
Possibly. If he's giving Carroll a 6 then Gerrard merited about a 3, but if you're marking themsensibly then I think Gerrard was around a 7. Not at his best but second half he was important to the side.
No mate, from the midlands (Nuneaton), was looking after my little niece, there is no reasoning with her.
I will be making sure I'm not on sitting duty come the final!
Won the freekick which got us the second, so no argument there.
Fair play and big thumbs up for the pick of the ratings. Carra's "mistake" was also down to Agger so shared, the delay in clearing was an "after you sir" affair and you don't get that with one man. Had Carra also left it then I'm sure he'd still be blamed, but his nickname must surely now be "scapegoat"
Exactly. It was Agger not clearing it that delayed, and Agger had the better clearance angle as Carra's angle was being closed down - and so it was. Still Carra is a scapegoat and Agger a current favourite so let's reflect that
Jones 6
Johnson 6
Agger 5
Carra 6 - solid bar his and Agger's joint culpability for the bitters' goal
Skrtel 6
Spearing 6
Gerrard 6
Downing 6
Henderson 5
Carroll 7 - although he missed chances and not too sure his header was 'directed' (but it went in so hey ho)
Suarez 7
If anything I think them going in front was perhaps the best thing for us, they didn't know whether to stick or twist and surely that played a part in Distin's back pass.................
Nice post dude. Next time, try watching the game and not just reading some online live commentary.
8 all around for me with a 9 for big Andy and a 10 for Suarez.
Would have been higher, maybe a 9 or 10 for everyone but the first half performance left much to be disired.
Isnt it just, how the hell can you mark a manager for his performance in a cup final anyway ? hahaha some people.
Showing your agenda here. Giving the traditional players low scores regardless of performance. Laughable.
So if we're playing a second division side and he's playing every player out of position and we scrape a 1-0 victory through a lucky goal then you'd still give him 10 because we won?
If we win a game then clearly the manager got it right. 10/10 for every victory because a win's a win.
I would give Kenny a 7. Was surprised to see Carra instead of Coates, who had such a good game against Blackburn. + Henderson at right wing when he's failed at that position 20/20 times was a bit baffling too.
But he did well to stick to his gut and keep Carroll on.
Jones 6 - Did look very shaky - flapped at a lot of crosses and i never felt comfortable when they took a shot. But he didnt concede anything silly.
Johnson 6 - Didnt see much of him.
Agger 7 - Isnt a natural LB but did the job well enough.
Carra 6 - Stupid mistake for the goal and failed to clear it on another occasion - did not look comfortable
Skrtel 9 - Solid. As ever.
Henderson 7 - Ran around a lot.
Downing 8 - One of his better games, shame he was subbed.
Spearing 6.5 - Was alright. Ran around a lot. Still not getting the hype about him.
Gerrard 7 - Gotta give him credit for (probably) motivating the team for the second half.
Carroll 8 - Would be a 9 had he not missed a sitter. Won all his flick ons for Suarez, great game.
Suarez 9 - Great game, didnt spend half the game on the floor (!), scored a goal, was a constant threat to them, MOTM
Bellamy 8 - Set up the winner, great impact on the game
Maxi 6 - Didnt really see him that much apart from missing an open goal.
King Kenny 7 - Got it all wrong with Carragher in and Agger at LB, the defence looked shaky all game (bar Skrtel) but his second half tactics seemed to work perfectly.
I have a feeling Kennys been told hes gone at the end of the season, but to make all seem rosey its a case of he'll "step down" and not be sacked.
The reason why i think this?
Starting Carra yesterday, really weird decision, and i still cant see any reason at all apart from sentiment.
Strangest decision ive seen in a lng time.
We can all say it was the wrong decision and complain about it, but at the end of the day we dont know anything about the decision or the reasons behind it.
Carra was always going to start...I don't understand how people don't know this
Why though..... ? explain

Enrique's been in poor form, experience in a semi final is crucial, Carra is a local lad who would give anything to beat Everton. Not a strange decision at all in my mind.
Now time for the ratings;
Jones 5 - Nervous, caught more air than anything else on several crosses. Good job he didnt have to make too many saves.
Johnson 9 - Best player in a pretty poor first half, good defending, brilliant attacking. Always on the move and wanting to get forward.
Agger 6 - Should not be playing LB.
Carra 4 - Shocking defending for their goal.
Skrtel 6 - Moved away from his best position of right CB, misses Agger along side him.
Henderson 5 - Is'nt a RM and definately not a LM. If he plays, it has to be CM.
Downing 6 - Steady, should of attacked Goofy more in the first half.
Spearing 7 - Solid.
Gerrard 7 - Quiet first half, but was the one setting the tone and driving forward like they all should of done.
Carroll 8 - Did everything asked of him, some nice touches and flicks. Linked up well with Luis and got the winner.
Suarez 9 - Only criticism was abit greedy at times using the smae trick.
King Kenny 5 - Played 2 players out of position completely, and moved another from his more favourable one.

love it,
player ratings are a waste of space anyhow, especially when we win!
Skrtel/Agger have been the best CB pairing this year when together.
Enrique might of been a tad poor lately, but a cup semi-final would of seen him motivated.
Kelly could of played RB and johnson LB to keep Agger/Skrtel together.
Carra has been poor for a year, never mind enriques dip for a couple of months.
I don't think Carra made many errors anyway, and we won with Carra in the team so I'm happy. Enrique needed a coupe of games out to regain focus I think
Who's the better left back Agger or Enrique? If Enrique was to be dropped why not Johnson left back and Kelly right back. It was a strange decision for me and the wrong one.
Why does someone who claims to not be watching the match come into a ratings thread to maon about other people's ratings though?
