1-0 and we finally get a win, although it's not very convincing. As Stevie G is injuried Rafa finally opted to play a 4-4-2 with Cisse and Crouch up front. Crouch was very quiet and Cisse was very wasteful but fortunately he scored the winning goal. The game is skewed as Blackburn has one man down (although before that they already come to play for one point), but with a genius free kick Cisse managed to win us the 3 points.
Player Rating:
Reina: 6.5 Only one half chance save to made.
Josemi: 6 Doing OK but Blackburn has almost no attack.
Carragher: 7 A superb captain performance but his 2 shots were not in.
Traore: 6 Typical Djimi, horrible one moment, and brilliant the other.
Warnock: 6 A good display overall.
Finnan: 6.5 Provided a few good crosses.
Alonso: 7.5 Running the midfield and taking the free kicks very well.
Sissoko: 7 Energitic and controlled the midfield.
Zenden: 6.5 A very good game, and he was unfortunate that his free kick hit the bar.
Crouch: 5.5 Very quiet game.
Cisse: 7 Wasted so many chance but at the end his only goal saved us.
Substitutes:
Luis Garcia: 6 Providing some needed attacking sense to the team.
Morientes: 5.5 Could have scored a hat trick, very wasteful.
Riise: 6 Lively performance.
Rafa: 6.5 Finally he tried a 4-4-2 and it worked. But he still need to work out on providing more service to Crouch and others.
Blackburn: 5.5 Come for one point, and deserved none. But Friedel's performance was very good apart from too slow in set pieces.
Man of the Match: Alonso. Shown his skills.
