2-0 and this is a well deserved win. From start till the end we are in cruise control, although it was not until 81th minute that Zenden scored the 2nd goal to kill off the game. The defense is more stable will Riise at left back once again, and Rafa played Gerrard as right midfield and it seems to be working. Although the strikers did not scored, Nando did play one of his better game with us. Needless to say, Alonso and Luis Garcia are just fired up. This is the performance we fans all demand Liverpool to play like, and Rafa please stick with a similar formation for at least a few matches.
Player Rating:
Reina: 6 No saves need to be made, but his distribution are very poor and fortunately he was not punished.
Finnan: 6.5 Shows why he is the #1 right back for the Club.
Carragher: 6 One of his rare off day, but never mind in this occasion.
Hyypia: 6.5 Just when Carra is not playing well, Sami did played very well.
Riise: 7 Rafa should play him as left back more often.
Gerrard: 6.5 Right midfield is not his best position, but he is willing to sacrifice a bit for the team. Well done.
Alonso: 7.5 Scored a beauty and control the midfield very well.
Sissoko: 6.5 Doing well without really excel.
Luis Garcia: 7 His movements are great, his motiation is high, and his corners are much better than Stevie G's. Lead almost all the attacks in 2H.
Cisse: 6.5 Sometimes he tried too hard in doing fancy things, but maybe just a simple shot will do.
Morientes: 7 Worked very hard and the only thing lack is the goal. Well deserved standing ovation from the crowd.
Substitutes:
Zenden: 7 Provided some freshness to the team and captured a nice opportunity when the West Ham defense committed an error and scored his first goal for the Club.
Crouch: Not enough time to impress.
Rafa: 7 He had it right this time in playing the suitable defense, put Stevie G on the right, and plays 4-4-2.
West Ham: 6 They come here for a point and even without a shot on target. But overall they should have enough strength to finish above 15th place.
Man of the Match: Alonso. Scored a beauty and we never looked back. Luis Garcia is not too far behind though.
