3-0 and it is 4 straight wins and clean sheets in a row. We were in control of the game and never looked back, but on the down side Crouch still yet to score one. He need to be more selfish as Rafa said. And Rafa even have the luxury to rest some key players before the big game vs Real Betis. Luis Garcia and Alsonso were injuried but should be able to recover for the Real Betis game.
Player Rating:
Reina: 7 Not much to do but when he needs to, he shows his composure in the area.
Finnan: 7 Solid in defense.
Carragher: 7 As good as usual.
Hyypia: 7 Good defensive work and causing trouble during set pieces.
Warnock: 7 A good display.
Luis Garcia: 6 Too bad he is injuried so early in the game.
Gerrard: 7.5 The driving force.
Hamann: 7 Solid in providing support to the back 4 and let Stevie G roars.
Zenden: 7 Get the penalty and scored a quick react goal from the penalty saved.
Cisse: 7 Scored a fluke goal.
Crouch: 6.5 Missed the tame penalty, tried very hard but still cannot score.
Substitutions:
Morientes: 7.5 Worked very hard and at the end scored the well deserved goal. Back to his best.
Alonso/Josemi: Not enough time to impress.
Rafa: 7 A good strategic plot and he is even able to rest some key players.
Portsmouth: 5.5 Never create any trouble. Would need to fight hard to avoid relegation.
Men of the Match: Gerrard/Morientes. Both played very well in driving the team to the well deserved victory.
