  José Reina Paez

  Had almost nothing to do as Liverpool dominated matters. Alert around his box.

  2.50

  Glen Johnson

  Had perhaps his poorest game in 18 months. Defended well but lost the ball continually on the break.

•

  72

  3.00

  José Enrique

  Showed his tendency to overplay when in possession but a remarkable ability to win it back. A mixed night for the Spaniard.

•

  3.00

  Daniel Agger

  Had plenty of joy taking the ball from the back as Carragher kept a watchful eye on Long. Went close with a header in the first half.

• 
  80

  32

  3.00

  Jamie Carragher

  Did not allow Long to expose his lack of pace by sticking tightly to the diminutive striker. An intelligent performance.

• 
  42

  66

  3.00

  Steven Gerrard

  Helped Liverpool control the midfield but couldn't find the necessary attacking spark during his numerous forays forward. Missed a penalty the hosts had not deserved.

•

  49

  3.00

  Jordan Henderson

  As industrious as ever in the middle of the park and perhaps unfortunate to substituted in the second half.

• 
  83

  36

  3.50

  Stewart Downing

  The Reds' most incisive attacking player. Beat his man regularly but was let down by his team-mates' wastefulness with the ball.

• 
  54

  38

  3.00

  Lucas Leiva

  Tackled brilliantly and ensured that West Brom's threat on the counterattack was negligible throughout.

•

  126

  2.00

  Jonjo Shelvey Flop of the Match

  Did not justify his recent calls for more playing time with a poor showing. Rightly taken off as Liverpool looked for a goal.

• 
  51

  71

  2.50

  Luis Suárez

  Missed the space created by Sturridge's runs and was often dragged wide - as was the case during the Reds' run of form early in the season. Dived to win a penalty which was justly missed.

Substitutions

• 
  45

  3.00

  Raheem Sterling

  Added pace to an anaemic attack.

•

  31

  3.00

  Coutinho

  Had little time to make a telling impact as a late substitute.

• 
  22

  78

  3.00

  Fabio Borini

  Missed an excellent chance to put his side ahead after coming on but was later denied by a fine save from Foster.

West Bromwich Albion

  Ben Foster Top of the Match

  Man of the match by a long way. Pulled off several stunning stops and capped an excellent performance with a fine penalty save.

• 
  33

  15

  3.50

  Jonas Olsson

  Put up a typically stoic resistance in the face of wave after wave of Liverpool attack. Dealt with Suarez excellently and did not deserve to concede a soft penalty.

• 
  14

  24

  2.50

  Liam Ridgewell

  Beaten time and time again by Downing but rarely punished due to Liverpool's profligacy up top.

•

  3.50

  Gareth McAuley

  Rode his luck at times but played a huge part in stemming the Liverpool threat. Took his header well.

• 
  11

  24

  2.50

  Steven Reid

  Generally solid bar a mad five minutes in the first half in which he shanked the ball over his own bar and scythed down Suarez.

• 
  26

  13

  2.50

  Claudio Yacob

  Part of a midfield which was dominated from start to finish. Had it easy up against the wasteful Shelvey but was overrun in the second period.

• 
  28

  13

  3.00

  James Morrison

  Another runner out wide who did little with the ball. His work rate, however, could not be faulted.

• 
  17

  19

  2.50

  Chris Brunt

  Worked hard in midfield but showed little quality in possession as West Brom were dominated.

• 
  13

  22

  2.00

  Graham Dorrans

  Spent much of the game tracking back down his wing. Offered very little on the counter.

• 
  29

  13

  2.50

  Youssouf Mulumbu

  Found pockets of space behind the Liverpool midfield on a number of occasions but wasted them repeatedly.

• 
  27

  16

  3.00

  Shane Long

  Worked incredibly hard as a lone frontman given little assistance by his team-mates. Did not get much joy on the ball but it was hardly his fault.

Substitutions

  3.50

  Romelu Lukaku

  His physical presence clearly provided the distraction for McAuley to head home. Took his goal brilliantly.

  Marc-Antoine Fortune

  Had little time to make an impact.
