Yes you got it right. On the aftermath of Liverpool's 6-0 trouncing of newcomers Derby County, I feel great. Fernando Torres' goal tally of the season reaches 3, after playing 4 games. Not bad, considering the very costly Andriy Shevchenko. Another Andriy, well this time 32 million times cheaper, or free, Voronin scored a goal too. Ryan Babel scored his first goal. World-class midfielder Xabi Alonso started scoring and scored one more. Here are MY ratings.:

25 Jose Reina - 7
Nothing to do... Decent saves when called upon. Peter Crouch could have taken his place in the side and play as a striker, leaving no goalkeeper.

3 Steve Finnan - 7
Not much to do defensively, but got up well to receive passes and contribute to Liverpool's offensive with good crosses.

4 Sami Hyypia - 7
Good defensively. Managed to win most battles with target man Steve Howard. Nothing much to do eventually.

5 Daniel Agger - 7
Another easy day in the office for the Dane, whose only fault I could recall was committing a foul near the penalty box.

17 Alvaro Arbeloa - 8
Defensively solid. Offensively brilliant. Managed to get up the field very effectively and created the goal for Ryan Babel with a great slide pass.

16 Jermaine Pennant - 8
Was made more effective when switched to the left flank. He made many marauding runs and crossed well. Worked very hard for the team, especially when the ball seemed running out of play.

14 Xabi Alonso - 8
Another effective performance. Scored two wonderful goals to aid in Liverpool's thrashing. Controlled the midfield well.

20 Javier Mascherano - 9
Liverpool's best player, he didn't score but contributed a lot. Controlled the midfield along with Xabi Alonso. His tackling and passing ability are much to be admired.

19 Ryan Babel - 7
Although he scored his first Liverpool goal, with a great dummy and blasted finish, he looked at times finding it difficult to find his feet. Slowly and steadily he should fit in well.

9 Fernando Torres - 8
Took both his goals well. Worked hard for the team up front, closing down whenever possible. Fitting well and on the same wavelength as Dirk Kuyt.

18 Dirk Kuyt - 7
Worked hard as usual. However missed two guilt-edged chances, but his passing and contribution overall should be admired too.

11 Yossi Benayoun - 6
Not much of an impact, although tricky running was his only contribution.

10 Andriy Voronin - 7
Scored 5 minutes after coming on, looked good even on the right flank and as a right wing attacker.

22 Mohamed Sissoko - 6
Used to rest Javier Mascherano, didn't have much of an impact except for some hard running and hard tackling.

Overall a good performance. 6-0 is a nice scoreline, and their goal difference sky-rocketed after that performance. Morale boosting for the players too. Could maybe have seen Lucas Leiva as a substitute.


Oh is that right? Is that from the Daily Mail I see? A very untrustworthy source if you ask me... Ronaldinho to Chelsea next year. Flop or signing of the season? Its either his trickery is a second or two faster, or EPL defenders will slice him off the pitch with no mercy... Haha...

Bye~!
