My take on the performance of the players
Martin - Good exposure for the young keeper. Nothing much for him to do.
Leiva - Living up to his sky-high expectations. Very soon, more will be raving about him.
Insua - What a surprise. This 18 year old is confident, calm, tackles well, willing to take on opponents
Hyypia - is Hyypia
Finnan - is Finnan
Paletta - the reason why I wanted Heinze or another CB to join. not impressed to date, room for improvement ...
Leto - A very decent debut, a pleasant surprise. Looks like a good young player with pace, all 1.88 of it. HK (get ready to look handsome on the bench)
Benayoun - looked much sharper. Great incisive pass to set up the goal for Torres. Pennant will have to watch his back.
Momo - Bosses the midfield, wrong, field as usual. Looks comfortable playing with Leiva. Critics who say he cannot pass should watch this game again. His best is yet to come so watch him again and he'll score his first goal for Liverpool this season.
Torres - He's fast! Looking sharper and look nothing like an EPL flop as many touted him to be.
Look at the way he broke the offside trap to score his goal. The last striker who showed a genuine ability to do that for us is Owen.
Crouch - I'm worried for Crouch. I hope he get involved soon, the season is starting.
Captain - shows why he is MBE. What a goal, that's the first time I saw him scoring a goal like that.
Shanghai keeper: Ouch
Babbel - was playing better than previous matches, but game appears to be affected by jeering fans. I believe there are more to come from him.
Arbeloa - Did his job.
Kuyt - works hard and obviously loved by the home fans.
Mascherano - still a monster.
This may not be a tough opposite team but precisely so, I am pleased to see the team doing well, we had to and did the job. Forward to the next game.

was super tired after wk yesterday, slept a while but dragged myself to wake uo and watch it, lucky i did cos its a good game which throws up some good surprises, Leto is impressive on his debut and Insua is quite composed for his age.. like benayoun more and more also :)
monday morning also got another live match, vs Feyenoord.. i tot the Feyenoord fans are very sweet to kuyt, he left a great set of fans in his home country, lucky him we are not bad too heheh
I noticed fans were nasty to Babel though. Yes I agree the part on Leto, hope to see him in more action too. Now then HK is out, it's a good chance for those eyeing on that left mid postion
