0-1 and we were very unlucky not to get at least 1 point in a game we dominated. Should the strikers be less wasteful we would have win the game easily. Anyway lady lucky was not on our side, and we shall move forward even though we failed to capitalize on a rare Chelsea slip.
Up front Cisse got a lot of sticks and was rightly so. Rafa need to find a way to solve this. We also lack smoothness in terms of passing, and are still extremely wasteful in set pieces. We also lacked a moment of concentration and paid the price. And we miss Luis Garcia.
Player Rating:
Reina: 6 Cannot do much on the goal but other than that he had a good and quiet game.
Finnan: 7 One of the better player on the field.
Carragher: 7 A good performance.
Hyypia: 6 At time he was exposed but overall he had a good game.
Riise: 6 Moving ups and downs but failed to create any real chances.
Gerrard: 6 1H as right midfielder, 2H as middleman, but not effective as he should be. And he need to mind his tackles at times.
Alonso: 6.5 Good quarterback performance.
Sissoko: 6.5 Good display with heart.
Kewell: 6.5 Played well with heart. This is what we like to see from Harry.
Cisse: 5.5 Guilty of missing the big chance with the goal at his mercy.
Crouch: 5.5 Very unproductive.
Substitutions:
Morientes: 6 Not much influence.
Sinama-Pongolle: 6 Tried hard but failed to impact.
Kromkamp: Not enough time to impress. Expect Rafa to start him at Portsmouth.
Rafa: 6 Failed to win the game with his changes this time.
Manchester United: 6 The better team lost. But we will edge them out, at least.
Men of the Match: Carragher and Finnan. Two good and consistent defenders.
