Match Report 051019 at Anderlecht: One step closer

1-0 and another goal from Cisse see us one step closer to qualification. Should both Chelsea and us win in the next game, we will both qualified and we can give some young lads European experience in the final 2 games.

Cisse's form is getting better and better and Rafa should play him more. The only thing to worry is that Reina picked up another yellow card. Maybe he should waste time again next game so that he can sit out the next game without bring the cards into the next rounds.

Player Rating:
Reina: 7 Made some good saves before Cisse's goal.
Josemi: 6.5 A good performance.
Carragher: 7 A rock at the back.
Hyypia: 6.5 His European streak continues, and he deserves it.
Traore: 6.5 A good performance.
Alonso: 7 Another good performance.
Hamann: 7 Doing well with an assist.
Sissoko: 7 Energetic as usual.
Riise: 6.5 Good performance even with a rare right foot shot.
Luis Garcia: 7 Surely this hole between midfield and attack is his best position.
Cisse: 7.5 Another winning goal. His form and mood is getting better and better.

Substitutions:
Kewell/Zenden/Warnock: Not enough time to impress.

Rafa: Good job, although he still need to solves the problem of wastage in front of goal.

Anderlecht: Sadly, they seems to be on the way out.

Man of the Match: Cisse. Rafa should make him the first choice.
