Reina - 6 - AAAAAAAAARRRGGGGGHHHHHHH!!!
Johnson - 7 - Solid defensively and dangerous when he ventured forwards.
Skrtel - 6.5 - Error for a Norwich goal but otherwise watertight.
Agger - 7 - Showed no signs of injury as he looked calm and controlled as ever.
Wisdom - 7.5 - Looks like he has been defending for years. What a player we have on our hands.
Gerrard - 7 - Passing was accurate, goal was...well, lucky actually. But he controlled proceedings from midfield.
Allen - 6.5 - Quiet but assured.
Sahin - 7.5 - Great bit of business by Brendan here. After two in midweek he notched another here and attacked well from midfield.
Suso - 8 -
Suarez - 9 - Genius.
Sterling - 8 - Destroyed Norwich down the wings, cut in regularly and looked a real threat. Surely he must score soon?
And finally... Today was just wonderful. To see us play with that sort of freedom is something I've not seen in a long, long time. Some of the passing was wonderful. Admittedly we will face better defences than Norwich's this season, the two goals conceded are a concern and we looked tired after about the 75th minute, but anyone who is moaning about these things after today really needs to lighten up. A marvellous victory.

I didn't even notice Allen and Gerrard were playing today (apart from the fact that Gerrard scored). This is not a criticism, more to do with the fact that we operated mostly down the wings today. Hence higher ratings for Suso and Sterling.

Does anyone know the percentage possession the team enjoyed? Watched the whole game, near-total domination, pass and move (watching the ManU v Spurs game at present, ManU are just not in the game at all! and 1-0 down too) but silly goals to give away. GD is better than it was, but the team needs to get into the positive Goal Difference, show no mercy. JimmyTheRed

Disagree on some but overall a fair set of ratings
Reina 5.5 (Bit of a mixed stuggled with a few balls into the box and was at fault for Norwich's 1st. However he did make a few decent saves but his form remains a worry.)
Wisdom 6.5
Skrtel 6 (I would give him higher but you have to take into account his error)
Agger 7
Johnson 8 (Been perhaps our most consistent player)
Allen 7.5 (Ran the midfield is a quiet but impressive manner)
Sahin 7.5
Gerrard 7
Suso 7
Suarez 9,5 (Boardered on perfection)
Sterling 6.5

Haven't seen the game yet guys, what did Reina do?
Good to get that monkey off our back, onwards and upwards.

Let's hope our play is making teams look standoffish and it's not just Norwich. We make United look pedestrian in the 1st half last week and a win in midweek, so it's looking good.
