BEN JOHNSON is on Boxing Day family duties today, so we’re bringing you alternative Anfield Wrap Christmas ratings.

The best minds at TAW have put their heads together to score Liverpool’s most important lads from the day The Reds went six clear at the top of the league.

It’s lively. It’s off the cuff. Oh, and by the way… Everybody gets a 10. It’s Crimbo, after all.

Alisson: 10

Josh: Didn’t have loads to do but was always well positioned when they got into our box.

Gibbo: Good save at the end.

Neil: More pheromones than any other man alive. Great bit of mad shit at the end. Loved the save.

Walshy: 12 clean sheets in 19. 10.

Trent: 10

Josh: So important when we’re on the front foot.

Fuad: Passing was unreal and his corners.

Lovren: 10

Gibbo: Is unfortunately going to shoot loads over the next month now.

Neil: Will never watch his goal back because he is focused on the next game. Wants the team meeting now. No idea why Jürgen is fucking about.

Walsh: Best defender in the world. 10.
