This was an important win for us and for Moyes. Any win against Liverpool is a good win. Its important Moyes wins a trophy this season, so he needs to give his best in every competition. I am glad we have progressed. It gives our youngsters a chance to perform and also gives Moyes a chance to get to know more about players. Let us see how our players performed :
David De Gea- 8- He needed a clean sheet and he got one. Really good performance. He made some really good saves which at the end proved to be match winning. The Boy is growing and it is good for us. He already is one of the best if not the best Shot stopper in World football. Note he is only 22. I hope he plays for us for a long time. By the way I love his passing. Could have been a midfielder.
Rafael 8- How much did we miss him. He is our best RB. He is so threatening while going forward which Jones or Smalling are not. His link up play with Nani and Kagawa was also admirable. Good to see him back
Smalling 7.5- I have always said he is better as a Centre back as he is a very good defender. Only flaw he has in his game is poor distribution. He needs to distribute the ball better. I feel he should be playing more games. I think Moyes likes this lad.
Evans 7.5- Atlast he gets to play. People dont understand his value but I actually like and rate Evans. He does commit some mistakes but overall he is a very good defender who is 25 only. Defenders like Goal keepers peak late. I feel time has come for him to take over from Rio.
Buttner- 7- He also had a decent game. I first wanted to see Fabio in action but Buttner did not disappoint me. But he needs to improve his defending. Attacking wise he is Good. One thing I really admire about buttner is his passion and attitude. Always ready to fight for the ball.
Nani 7.5- Whether anyone likes him or not but its a fact at the moment he is our best winger. Yes he does frustrated when acts like a selfish player but thats his game. Yesterday he may have shot over the bar many times but yet he kept on trying. He will improve. He was motivated as he has put his contract talks behind him. Our first choice winger. Period
Jones 7.5- I loved his performance yesterday. Those who are saying he is Oshea-II no guys he is better than that. He was playing as a defensive midfielder and he did quite well there. Even moyes appreciated his work. He had to deal with 3 midfielder and also with Suarez and he did quite well. I still prefer him as a central defender but in a 3 man midfield he could really do well atleast this is better than him playing at RB.
Giggs 6.5- People are always ready to bash giggs. Honestly yesterdays performance by giggs wasnt that bad. His defensive work was really good and his passing is still one of the best. I was very frustrated with his corners. I feel we need to utilise the corners better. Yes we scored from that but still giggs corner's were piss poor. Still judging by rating he was our worst player in the pitch. I still thought it wasnt that bad.
Rooney 8- He is really putting some classy performances. People moaned why he was given the arm band but I liked that decision. He does very well when given the responsibilty. I feel hodgson should do the same and make Rooney England's captain. If not for Mignolet's Save Rooney could have continued his Freekick Goal scoring run. He is back and I hope he continues to give performances like this through out his career here.
Hernandez 8.5- He is one of the best poachers in world football right now. I was amazed to see how much he has improved his all round game. He needs to start more. If RVP is not fit play him. Moyes should take full advantage of him. He looks motivated and will give his best. Also noticed he has bulked up. Come on play him regularly he deserves it. Loved the goal. He is a world class finisher.
Substitutes
Carrick 7- He really came on and composed the game. I am happy Moyes gave him rest. He needed that. Cant afford an injury to him.
Janujaz N/R- Wont rate him as he didnt get the chance to be involved but really happy he gets to play in big games like this. It is only matter of time before he starts in games.
Welbeck N/R- No point rating him. I liked this substitute. Remember last year's league cup where in we lost to chelsea, it was Nani at the fag end giving the ball away. Smart move by moyes.
Man of the match- HERNANDEZ- Really performed well. His movement was really good. His passing has also improved and his finishing as we all know is top quality. He must start more games especially if our Main man RVP is not there.
Team Rating- 7.5/10
Overall quite pleasing performance. If you look at the ratings, no on ehas performed bad. Even giggs had a decent day. Players wanted to win it for themselves and for their manager and for us fans. If we had lost this one too then it would have been really hard to get the confidence back. Moyes needed this win more than anyone. Next in the league cup is Norwich at home so atleast we can see more young players in action. Well done boys

Kagawa 7- I really Kagawa. In the first half I really felt sorry for the lad. But he improved in second half quite drastically that to. He prefers to play in Right side , but his best position is Centre. Kagawa grew and grew the more he took up positions in central areas, clear evidence that he cannot kept being shunted out wide. One thing I did notice about Kagawa is he is a team player and thats why he was successful at Dortmund and is successful with Japan. He loves to play quick passing game. Not a dig at other player here but I feel players like Nani and Rooney prefer to shoot than pass in attacking area. Kagawa could have scored two goals as he was in a great place but he didnt get the ball but saw his attacking team mates shoot the ball. Having said that his link up with Nani and Hernandez was really good.
Rooney 8- He is really putting some classy performances. People moaned why he was given the arm band but I liked that decision. He does very well when given the responsibilty. I feel hodgson should do the same and make Rooney England's captain. If not for Mignolet's Save Rooney could have continued his Freekick Goal scoring run.
