PLAYER RATINGS following the last minute defeat to Liverpool at Anfield on Saturday. Sami Hyypia scored a 93rd minute winner to ensure the points stayed in Liverpool.

	*Paul Jones*	Made one or two good saves and his deciosn making was good. Stood no chance with the goal.
	*Lee Naylor*	Took one shot from Biscan full in the face - something which shows his determination. Coped well with Owen.
	*Mark Clyde*	For such a young lad, the confidence this player has is unberlievable. Very good performance.
	*Paul Butler*	Another typical Butler performance. Won a lot in the air and was too strong for the Liverpool strikers.
	*Jody Craddock*	Lost the ball whilst in possesion but raced back to "win" the ball. Had one shot blocked by Hyypia.
	*Alex Rae*	Another 100% performance. Gave his all and put himself about.
	*Mark Kennedy*	Covered Naylor very well until he was taken off for Shaun Newton ten minutes before time.
	*Paul Ince*	Had a nice reception from the Kop but looked distraught when Hyypia scored. Good performance.
	*Kenny Miller*	Back in the starting eleven and deserved his place. Ran with confidence at the Liverpool back line and came close a couple of times.
	*Vio Ganea*	Never stopped running. Came close on several occasions but his work rate was top notch. Man Of The Match.
	*Henri Camara*	Left Mark Clyde exposed at times, but had what was probably his best ever shot for Wolves well saved.
	*Shaun Newton*	Replaced Mark Kennedy. Newton went on a few mazy runs, but gave some poor free-kicks away.
	*Carl Cort*	Replaced Ganea late on. Was not able to get into the game.
	*Not Used*
