Liverpool player ratings

Marks out of 10 for Liverpool's Champions League second leg at Juventus.

Liverpool

Jerzy Dudek - 6: Did not have a shot to save until 64 minutes. Called into action late on and coped with ease.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

Steve Finnan - 7: Handed a tough buttignment against Juve's dangerous left side but more than held his own.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

Djimi Traore - 7: His concentration was at times lacking, but he played his part in a heroic defensive display.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

Jamie Carragher - 8: Caught out once when Dudek came to his rescue, but overall he did not put a foot wrong. Seems to grow with every major performance.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

Sami Hyypia - 9: (STAR MAN) Just like the Hyypia of old. Dominant in the air, buttured on the ground and almost got his name on the scoresheet.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

Antonio Nunez - 5: Handed the right-wing role but guilty of diving in too often. A bit off the pace and replaced earlier in the second half.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

never forget 4527
16 years ago today. still no justice John Alfred Anderson (62) Colin Mark Ashcroft (19) James Gary Aspinall (18) Kester Roger Marcus Ball (16) Gerard Bernard...

John-Arne Riise - 7: Not seen much as an attacking force, he performed a valuable role in supporting his defence.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

Igor Biscan - 8: Stepped up his game in Steven Gerrard's absence. Offered great protection in front of his defence.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

Xabi Alonso - 7: Thrown in at the deep end in Steven Gerrard's absence. Needlessly booked for kicking the ball away but he made up for the skipper's absence with a disciplined display.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

Luis Garcia - 6: Plenty of effort but too often he was wasteful with the ball and attempted the spectacular when he needed to play it safe.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

Milan Baros - 7: Often isolated up front but he was full of running and caused the Juve backline some nervy moments. Wasted a glaring chance that would have sealed the tie earlier.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

Substitutes

Gerrard vs Chelski
against chelsea, Stevie has not been his own impressive self, commanding authority in the middle of the pitch, we can be difficult for us. Any thoughts? I doubt if it is...

Vladimir Smicer (Replaced Nunez, 58 minutes) - 6: Replaced the ineffective Nunes and gave Liverpool a bit more of an outlet.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

Djibril Cisse (Replaced Baros, 76 minutes) - 6: Completed his remarkable comeback from a broken leg for a late run out. Given little chance to shine.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

Antony Le Tallec (Replaced Garcia, 85 minutes) - 6: Possibly unlucky not to start, he was thrown on in the dying stages.
