  José Reina Paez

  Made an incredible save in the first half from Brunt's effort in the box but could do little to stop Odemwingie when the Nigerian was presented with a glorious one-on-one opportunity.

  Glen Johnson

  A key part of the Reds' attack in wide areas again but made an error at a crucial time to gift a goal to the visitors.

  José Enrique

  Can hold on to the ball at times for too long but is always efficient defensively.

  Daniel Agger

  Occasionally tried to win things which he had no right in going for and caused the rare moments of uncertainty at the back which the Reds suffered from.

  Martin Skrtel

  Won everything aerially and dominated Long and Odemwingie.

  Maxi Rodríguez

  Quite simply, the Argentine makes Liverpool play better. Involved in several impressive exchanges but failed to find the goal which he seemingly always gets.

  Jordan Henderson

  Not yet ready to hold down a central midfield role as proved by his performance. Unfortunate to see his shot cannon back off the bar in the second half though.

  Jay Spearing

  Part of a weak midfield which was generally bypassed by the hosts. Misplaced several passes but showed bite in the tackle as always.

  Luis Suárez Top of the Match

  Back to his best. A creative livewire upfront but showed the wasteful finishing after some fine footwork which has characterised his season.

  Andy Carroll

  Monstrous in the air and showed some fine touches with the ball at his feet. Difficult to see his goal threat at times though.

  Dirk Kuyt

  Not the Dutchman's best performance in a red shirt. Sloppy on the ball and struggled to get involved.

  Stewart Downing

  Failed to provide the killer cross which had been asked of him.

  Jonjo Shelvey

  Had little chance to affect matters in the middle as the Reds pushed the ball wide in search of a goal.

  Added impetus that had been lacking down the right-hand side.

  Ben Foster

  Commanded his back four but was let off several times by the hosts profligate finishing.

  Jonas Olsson

  Had an incredibly uncomfortable afternoon up against Suarez's trickery and Carroll's aerial threat. Didn't look able to deal with either.

  Liam Ridgewell

  The best contribution to the Baggies' defensive effort. Marshalled Kuyt well but did struggle when Johnson doubled up.

  Gareth McAuley

  Struggled just as much as Olsson at times but did help put in some crucial blocks as the Reds dominated.

  Billy Jones

  Much of the hosts' attacking threat came down the right as Jones was woefully exposed by Maxi's movement.

  Chris Brunt

  Denied brilliantly by Reina in the first half before a quiet but disciplined performance.

  Jerome Thomas

  Subbed in the second half after a hard-working performance of little attacking intent.

  Graham Dorrans

  Part of an anaemic West Brom midfield performance, even against the inexperienced Henderson and Spearing.

  Youssouf Mulumbu

  Shane Long Flop of the Match

  Won a brilliant header to set Chris Brunt free in the first half but struggled otherwise and took the inexplicable decision to turn his back on goal when through late on.

  Peter Odemwingie

  More involved than his strike partner Long and gave Agger a few moments of discomfort. Took his goal coolly under pressure.

  Keith Andrews

  Provided much-needed fresh legs as the Reds turned the screw.
