050820 vs Sunderland: We need to improve

1-0 and we didn't play well but win. Although Sunderland never really threatened us but with the score stays at 1-0 and we cannot get the second goal, it is always scary. And Stevie G is injuried and will miss the Sofia game. Let's hope he can recover in time for the European Super Cup.

Player Rating:
Reina: 6.5 A spectator
Finnan: 6.5 A fair display
Carragher: 6.5 Not much to do
Hyypia: 6 His pace seems to be a bigger worry this season
Warnock: 6 Still not convincing in left back
Sissoko: 7 Another good show in midfield. Didi's place is in danger
Cisse: 6.5 Definitely not a right midfielder. Rafa need to buy
Gerrard: 6.5 Unfortunate to be injuried
Alonso: 7.5 His wonder free kick win us the game
Zenden: 6 Need to provide more service
Morientes: 6 He need more service provided

Substitutions:
Luis Garcia: 6 Not a good performance
Riise/Baros: Not enough time to show impact

Sunderland: 5.5 They didn't do much but with the score at 1-0, you always afraid they make nick one back

Rafa: 6 He definitely favors 4-5-2, but we need Crouch to play

Man of the Match: Alonso. A beauty free kick
