1-0 and the result is good, although we should have kill off the game much earlier given we have 1 extra man for more than half an hour. Crouch is unlucky not to score but Nando's form is worrying. Need to sort out ASAP.
Player Rating:
Reina: 7.5 Made many saves and interception to keep the score at 1-0.
Finnan: 6.5 A good defensive display.
Hyypia: 6.5 Lead the defense well.
Agger: 6 A bit hestitate and not familiar with his teammates.
Riise: 6.5 Good defensive display.
Kromkamp: 6 Played as right midfielder but did not provivde too many good crosses.
Gerrard: 8 Provided the crucial assist and lead the team well.
Alonso: 6 Played a bit part but was then injuried. Form is not good though.
Kewell: 7.5 Scored a great goal and could have score more.
Crouch: 7.5 Lots of chances but James was good.
Morientes: 6. Worrying. Have a sitter but failed to shot with any power.
Substitutions:
Hamann: 6.5 Another good display. Provided a killer pass to Nando but he failed to score.
Luis Garcia/Traore: Not enough time to shine.
Rafa: 7 Good team display, but still need to solve the lack of goal.
Manchester City: 6.5 Good at home but poor in travel. I really hope they can respond and challenge for a UEFA place.
Man of the Match: Gerrard. Killer assist and was happy back to his favorite middle.
