Unbelievable Suarez

Well a disappointing one first:

Liverpool 0-1 West Brom
A bitterly disappointing defeat and I'm frankly bored of typing the same things on this blog. So much wastefulness and so many missed chances and so many hitting the sodding woodwork. I didn't watch this (fortunately) so am unable to give more detailed ratings but suffice to say this was not good...and more proof that Glen Johnson can't defend.

Norwich 0-3 Liverpool
I did watch this. Much was made of this victory but in truth Norwich were poor and the difference was a bit Steven Gerrard but mostly of course Luis Suarez who delivered three astounding finishes, the latter a serious contender for goal of the season. Suarez's audacious play makes him borderline unstoppable when on form and while his finishing can occasionally be wayward and unneccesarily elaborate (an example was a pointless attempt at a chip in this very game) he can be lethal. Otherwise this was a reasonably unremarkable game but a good result.

Ratings:

Reina - 7
Little to do but solid as always.
Johnson - 6
As ever, good going forward and lousy in defence.
Enrique - 6
His alarming end of season slump didn't really abate in this game.
Carragher - 7
Very solid display.
Agger - 7
Good going forward and at the back.
Henderson - 5
He played?
Downing - 5
Not his best at all...which is not good.
Shelvey - 6
I remain unconvinced that this guy is anything special at all.
Gerrard - 8
Provided the creativity apart from Suarez.
Bellamy - 7
Full of running.
Suarez - 9
Almost a 10, an outstanding display.

Subs:

Kuyt - 6
Little time to make an impact.
Coates - 6
No time.
