0-1 and once again we contolled the match but could not score, and at the end a defensive error was made and we were defeated. It seems that as Stevie G is injuried we just cannot have the penetration to get through. Luis Garcia is too lightweight and should only play as a sub at Benfica. Anyway we still have the 2nd leg and it can be Olympiakos 2nd coming.
Player Rating:
Reina: 6.5 Nothing to do but then suddenly conceded a goal.
Finnan: 6.5 A good game.
Carragher: 7 Captain Carra did his job well but cannot convince the players to score a goal.
Hyypia: 6.5 At a time when the strikers can't score a goal, We definitely need Sammi to score some. Remember Juventus?
Riise: 6.5 Working hard but not much impact.
Luis Garcia: 6 Too light-weighted and should start as a sub if not Gerrard's injuried.
Alonso: 6 Back from injury, but his condition is still not too good.
Sissoko: 6 Unlucky to pick up that injury. Get well soon and we need you.
Kewell: 6 We need him to score more goals. One in as many game is not enough.
Fowler: 6 Not in full fitness and only has a few half chances.
Morientes: 6 Another disappointing performance.
Substitutions:
Hamann: 6 Played well but conceded the crucial free kick that lead to the goal.
Cisse: 6 Replaced God but did not do anything convincing.
Gerrard: Not enough time to turn the tide.
Rafa: 6 Hit by injury, tried his best but at the end we were frustuated by the lack of fire power once again. He won't be happy in the way we conceded the goal. But it's only half time and we have enough time and support from the Kop to turn it around.
Befica: 6.5 Would be happy to come to Anfield with a goal in hand.
Man of the Match: Carragher. The vice captain has another good game once again.
