Fulham v Liverpool: Player rankings

Here's how I scored the lads against Liverpool.

Keller - 5/10
Poor performance from the big man. Could have done better with both goals.

Konchesky - 5/10
Not one of his better days. Was skinned on numerous occasions.

Hughes - 6/10
The one bright spark in the back four. Solid and reliable throughout.

Hangeland - 5/10
Not a triumph for our giant. Culpable for letting Pennant squirm away for the opener.

Stalteri - 5/10
Not bad but caught out of position a few times - and skinned on other occasions.

Bullard - 6/10
An A for effort but too many passes went astray.

Murphy - 5/10
Shocking stuff. He's at least a yard slower than he was in his prime - and it shows.

Davies - 6/10
Tried hard but not one of his better performances.

Dempsey - 6/10
The usual battling display but his first touch let him down on a number of occasions. Came close with a second half header.

McBride - 6/10
Gave it his all. Was out on his feet by the time he was subbed late in the game.

Healy - 7/10
Scuffed a couple of shots but definitely our danger man. Battled relentlessly, won free kicks and illustrated his worth as a play maker. Unlucky to be taken off.

Substitutes

Nevland - 5/10
Failed to make any impression

Andreason - 6/10
A good shot late on.

Kamara - 5/10
Didn't have much time to make an impact. Should have been given longer.

Man of the Match: David Healy. His all-round performance and effort was top drawer.
