Martin Fitzgerald offers up his player ratings after Liverpool’s 3-0 win against Leicester City in the Premier League…
MASSIVE three points for the patched up Reds.
Massive unbeaten home record.
Here’s how The Reds and Jonny Evans did it…
Alisson: 8
Didn’t have much to do but he was brilliant when called upon. The safest pair of hands I’ve seen on November 22 since Abraham Zapruder.
James Milner: 9
Rolled back the years, didn’t he? His passing in the first half, in particular, was superb, pinging it into the front three. Showed the benefit of knocking international football on the head at his age.
Fabs: 8.5
Brilliant. Made up Fabinho’s back.
Joel Matip: 8.5
Also brilliant, and wore gloves. Not just a thin woolly pair, mind, but a big massive pair like he was touching the void.
Andy Robbo: 9
You’d think with Trent out they’d do their best to stop him. Maybe they did. But it didn’t work. That cross for the second. Fuck me. What chance has anyone got?
Curtis Jones: 8.5
His best league performance of the season. Really stepped up, loads of nice touches and looked assured all night.
Gini Wijnaldum: 8
Whatever the Japanese word is that describes “typical Gini performance”.
Nabs: 6.5
Usual box of tricks before going off fucked. Like a really condensed version of that time David Blaine just sat in a box.
Sadio Mane: 8.5
Strong and skillful as per usual. The best there is.

Bobby Firmino: 9.5
Thought he was the business tonight. Dropped really deep but somehow managed to be more threatening than he has been all season. His touch and confidence was back. Deserved his goal and all the hugs.
Diogo: 9.5
What a signing this kid is. Looks a bit like Lee Harvey Oswald. Plays like him too.
Jonny Evans: 8
Great header.
Back and to the left.
Back and to the left.
SUBS
Neco Williams: 7
Got forward well a couple of times and showed a few decent touches.
Taki: N/A
Divock: N/A

All good.
Made up for Curtis Jones best game by a mile. Looked like an established player rather than one trying to break through. As for piano playing Bobby he’s got his mojo back…
Why is there no links to the other pages at the bottom anymore? Helps with your traffic and clicks ya know
Well spotted mate, have re-enabled this!
Well, I had to Google what Zapruder had to do with Kennedy’s assassination. Great knowledge.
Thought Naby deserved more, by the way.
Fabs is injured btw hence this from klopp…sky never aired it of course https://youtu.be/_UDKvHRaI-I
Presidential assassination references appear to be a speciality for our Martin! The late, great Bill Hicks too :)
Here’s how the red and Evans did it… Fucking made my day that
Ok Martin so these are the most hilarious match ratings of all time. And that’s up against stiff competition from Jonno.
JFK/Costner references are pure genius.
As is our manager, and entire team. What a performance..
Up The Reds!
Noticed he went down kinda late-on. Finished the game which made me think he might be ok.
Hope you are wrong, in the best possible way.
Take it, it is the anniversary of the JFK assassination or something, or you are someone who is well into to all this. What’s up next, ZeroDarkThirty references, or Apocalypse Now (just throwing some things out there, as someone appears to be binge watching either the Discovery Channel or Netflix). Funny by the way and well referenced. :D
It’s his specialist subject, mate! Proof: https://www.theanfieldwrap.com/2019/11/specialist-subject-martin-fitzgerald/
