Van der Sar 8 - He could have brought his deckchair for most of the game, but pulled off two world class saves towards the end to keep a clean sheet.
Neville 7 - Got forward well and contributed to the attack, but his crossing was poor by his standards.
Ferdinand 8 - Nothing really to trouble him. Solid.

Van der Sar 8 - Another excellent display from the Dutchman. Should be ranked up there with the best in the world.
Rafael 6 – Lively performance from the young Brazilian, but he showed his inexperience when he abandoned his post, allowing Ledley king’s header from the corner to find the corner of the net.
Evans 7 - Filled in admirably for Rio Ferdinand.

Van der Sar 8 - In truth he had very little to do, but his excellent save from Tevez’s free kick stood out as the save of the match.
Neville 7 - Struggled at times with the pace of Bellamy, but his desire, determination and tough tackling encapsulated the derby day spirit.
Evans 8 - Adebayor and Tevez rarely got a sniff of United’s goal.

Van der Sar – 7 Perhaps shouldn’t have been beaten from such an acute angle for the first goal, but wasn’t exactly helped by Carrick’s poor defending.
Rafael – 6 Excellent in the first half, but his naivety got himself sent off early in the second half and arguably cost us a place in the Champions League.
Ferdinand – 7 Mainly in control, but both he and Vidic went missing for Bayern’s opener, leaving Carrick to do their work. Badly.

Van der Sar – 6 Should have done better for the Drogba offside goal, but did well otherwise.
Neville – 5 Caught out of position too many times and crossing was mostly poor. Played well in the last ten minutes. Shame about the other 80.
Ferdinand – 8 Had to cover for Neville quite often and did his job in the middle very well.

Van der Sar – 8 Excellent as usual. Key saves kept us in the game, until Evra’s brain fart right at the death.
Neville – 5 Over run by Ribery on a number of occasions. Nani saved his bacon. Needless handball gave Bayern the free kick they equalized from.
Ferdinand – 7 Did surprisingly well considering the midfield were offering very little protection.

Van der Sar – 8 Didn’t have much to do in fairness, but produced two world class saves when it mattered. The mark of any great goalkeeper is staying alert even when you’re rarely called upon and he did that to great effect today to keep a clean sheet.
Neville – 7 Kept his flank relatively free of danger and got forward whenever he could to support Valencia. Booed very time he touched the ball by the 6 fingered Bolton fans. Good ol’ Nev.
Evans – 7 Filled in for Rio Ferdinand admirably. Continued his excellent partnership with Vidic.

Van der Sar – 7 Couldn’t have done much to save Torres’ goal. Pretty much a spectator throughout as Liverpool only mustered two shots on target (including the goal).
Neville – 7 Kept maxi quiet throughout. Got forward quite well, but his final delivery was often lacking.
Ferdinand – 7 Kept Torres quiet for the majority of the game. Should have been tighter to Torres for the goal.

Van der Sar – 7 Commanded his area well. One save from a David Beckham volley stood out for me.
Neville – 7 Needed Fletcher to cover for him at times. Got into some good positions, crossing often let him down, but the one for Rooney’s opening goal was inch perfect.
Ferdinand – 8 Never gave the Milan strikers a sniff of goal. A rock at the back.

Foster – 7 He was only called into action on a couple of occasions, but dealt with everything that came his way. Kicking is still suspect.
Neville – 7 One of his better performances recently. West Ham’s reluctance to attack left Neville free to get forward and he did, to good effect.
Brown – 7 Nothing to trouble him.
