  José Reina Paez

  A spectator beyond collecting a dangerous Bale cross in the first half.

  Glen Johnson

  Helped make for an interesting 'battle of the England full-backs' by giving an assured performance up against Kyle Walker. Did great work going both ways in an unfamiliar role on the left.

  Daniel Agger

  Composed on the ground and dominant in the air, a complete performance from the Dane.

•

  Martin Kelly

  Couldn't be faulted going toward his own goal but left a lot to be desired in an attacking sense. Still learning.

•

  Martin Skrtel

  Part of an imperious partnership which ensured Adebayor had to drop deep for any joy.

•

  Steven Gerrard

  Still a bit ring rusty or unable to provide the cut and thrust of old? Far from classic Gerrard but the midfielder is still the outstanding midfielder in his side.

  Jay Spearing

  Hard-working defensively but misplaced several passes at key moments in broken play.

  Charlie Adam

  Passed the ball well but was part of a problem in terms of cutting edge. Never really found a killer pass.

  Andy Carroll

  Has been getting better and better over recent weeks and showed why here. A real handful for the Spurs defence and unlucky not to find the chance which his performance merited.

  Dirk Kuyt Flop of the Match

  Kept Assou-Ekotto shackled but did not do nearly enough going forward. Rightly replaced by Suarez.

•

  Craig Bellamy

  Didn't hit the levels of recent performances and was cleverly marshalled by the lesser-experienced Walker.

  Stewart Downing

  Brought on to provide bite but failed to do so.

  Luis Suárez

  A real livewire upon his return but missed the best opportunity of the match with a header straight at Friedel. Also received a booking for a wild kick at Scott Parker.

  Brad Friedel

  Despite Liverpool's domination toward the end, the American was comfortable throughout.

  Michael Dawson

  Not a usual starter but looked as if he had never been away with a composed performance.

•

  Ledley King

  As Fabio Capello watched on he may have wondered what might have been if King had not suffered so terribly from injuries. A rock in defence.

  Kyle Walker Top of the Match

  With Fabio Capello watching on, Walker did himself no harm with an assured showing.

•

  Benoit Assou-Ekotto

  Given very little licence to go forward from the tireless Kuyt but solid the other way.

•

  Gareth Bale

  Nowhere near his usual self. His subdued performance was largely thanks to the defensive work of Kelly.

•

  Scott Parker

  Gets so much praise for his defensive work but showed his neatness in possession here as part of a passing carousel with Modric.

•

  Luka Modric

  One of the tidiest midfielders in world football did not disappoint. At the heart of everything Spurs do.

•

  81

  2.50

  Niko Kranjcar

  Some tidy touches but nowhere near the threat that Spurs would have enjoyed through Aaron Lennon.

•

  2.50

  Jake Livermore

  Allowed the game to pass him by somewhat and won't be challenging Rafael van der Vaart's position anytime soon.

•

  85

  2.50

  Emmanuel Adebayor

  Starved of service but frustrated by the dominance of Skrtel and Agger when fortunate enough to get the ball.

  Louis Saha

  Had little influence as the lone frontman when brought on.
