Hello everyone, welcome to the Fanalysis Player Rating Show on the Redmen TV. I'm Chris Pajak and I'm here to go through the player ratings for Liverpool after they knocked Chelsea out of the Carabao Cup and took their place to face Bournemouth in the quarter finals of said Carabao Cup. This show I have never done before, so I'm quite looking forward to doing this one, although I have done player rating shows for years. So a big thank you to Fanalysis for partnering up with the channel throughout the course of the season. We're going to get started on this incredible app with Mamadash Vili, who has a surprisingly high, in my opinion, 77 rating out of 100, as you can see there. So if I click into him, loads and loads of reviews, GS Pender says, good performance, one dodgy moment, but otherwise some great save in the match and from Penns. Fergus says, couple of important saves, improved distribution. Kev Dev, 1977, distribution let him down massively. Stebbith saved the Penn, did well, boss. And do you know what, after thinking, those ratings were a little bit high, personally.

I think I can recognise that he did make some very, very important saves there. And, you know, when you, obviously there was only four on target, I think, for Chelsea in the entire game, wasn't there. But, you know, he makes good saves. He does, he's a shot stopper, isn't he? First and foremost, it's what he does. It's what he's really good at. His distribution does sort of let him down at times. That's who he is at the moment. The maddest part of the game for me, to be honest with you, was when he ran out of his goal and then just hit it, and then almost chased after it. And Liverpool players were looking around going, what are you doing? I completely lost my head at that, I really did. And maybe that's why I gave him a lower rating on Fanalysis than he probably deserved. So I stand corrected. He makes good saves. He gets decent marks. And Walton AI says a great save late on and save in the shootout, but fear he has no future here when he can't kick a ball. Let's not focus on the negatives tonight. He does make a save on a penalty shootout. He does make some saves. So I'm all in right now on him getting that rating of 76 Let's move on then. Joe Gomez, the hero in my eyes of the evening with a paltry 74 out of 100 Sly, the lot of you. And with Chile, he gives him an 85 Let's go back so you can see it properly. Gives him an 85 Solid shutting down attackers and bodying people off the ball. Not to mention that insane penalty. I mean, seriously, that was just class, wasn't it? I mean, the way in which he took that penalty away is deserving. It deserved to be the winner, not to have a Chelsea player miss. That was how we should... He should have taken our fifth pen. Or Barcawla should have taken our fifth pen. Maybe Joey G should be our fifth penalty, take him moving forward. I'm not sure. But he did. He had a good game.

First of all, he was playing right back, but he was constantly there. He was constantly offering going forward. He's got a couple of crosses in during the course of the game. But his work rate defensively and his application defensively as well. I thought it was brilliant throughout the night. Uruguay are a whole... Oh, Uruguay red. Saved us a few times. Track him back and forth like I love to see. Got the winning pen. Joey G come through. Indeed, he did. And I'll remember not to click on them from now on because the view looks a bit rubbish. G Spender, very solid, didn't do much wrong and a cracking pen. Absolutely, my friends. Great game, great pen, great man. Love that from Fergus. What a pen. Did very well in his battles, looks in good form at the minute. He scored. Technically, he didn't score, but it's okay. We'll all class it as Liverpool fans as a goal because it's an important one. The ball hits the back of the net. What a pen, says Big Beans 12 Best game I've seen from Joe Gomez for a while. Was reliable, relentless. Please, just stay fit, says Dale ML.
