Gerrard 35 pen, Kewell 69, Heskey 78 Forssell 33 Player Ratings 
Bennett - Can't be faulted for any of the goals, and otherwise sound.
Johnson - Struggled against Kewell, though the Australian did dive to get him booked.
Clapham - Not overly involved, but good clearance off the line.
Upson - Not at his best, and worringly had to be replaced by Tebily after sustaining an injury.
Cunningham - Far from his best, though harshly treated in penalty decision.
Dunn - Started fairly well, but soon faded out of the game. Needs to get his form back.
Lazaridis - Promising opening half hour against Diao, but needs to have more confidence in his own ability to really provide the goods.
Savage - Not too bad, but nothing spectacular. His usual self, but overpowered by Gerrard.
Clemence - Very disappointing, and at fault for both Kewell and Heskey strikes.
Dugarry - Lots of flicks with few coming off, but still a threat when they did come off.
Forssell - Quiet apart from the goal, which is fine by Blues fans.
SUBS:
Tebily - Difficult, but did well, and tried to make inroads as an attacking centre half, as only he can.
Morrison - Put himself about fairly well, but he always will against Liverpool.
Kirovski - New hairstyle might make him look like Robert Pires, but he's got a way to go before he plays like him.
