0-0 again and we have 3 penalty claims denied. The handball was obvious, so we are forced to share the points.
In fact both teams do not have many clear chances although they should be the team that feel happier with the result. Anyway, the game on Sunday will be more important and Rafa need to think of ways to win the game.
Player Rating:
Reina: 7 Apart from an early scare dealing with crossings, he was very commanding.
Finnan: 6.5 Do well defensively but not as effective going up.
Carragher: 7 Excellent at the back as you always expect from him.
Hyypia: 6.5 Exploried by Robben on one occasion because of his slow speed, otherwise he had a good game.
Traore: 6.5 He was beaten a few times from high ball crosses but otherwise he was solid defensively and even go up for attack on several occasions.
Cisse: 6 Can't get through Gallas...
Alonso: 6.5 The early yellow card may have took off a few cutting edge from him. A sluggish game.
Hamann: 7 Patrolled the midfield very well.
Luis Garcia: 7.5 Very lively but unable to find a clear chance.
Gerrard: 7 Stevie G as usual, but his freekicks were not spot on.
Crouch: 7 He created lots of troubles to the Chelsea defense. Maybe they will start Huth on Sunday?
Substitution:
Sinama Pongolle: Not enough time to impress.
Rafa: 7 He proved again he is the one who will always be there to spoil Chelsea's party. He has exploried Chelsea's weakness on facing Crouch but we need to find a way to put the ball into the net.
Chelsea: 6 Not really created any danger to us.
Man of the Match: Luis Garcia. Keep it up on Sunday!
