Match Report 060304 vs Charlton Athletic: Another two point loss

0-0 and we should have win the game easily, but the lack of firepower let us down. We dominated the game but could not find a way to put the ball in the net. And even when Fowler did - Cisse was offside. It is a very fluctuating result, and we are just 1 point ahead of Manchester United but played 2 more games.

Player Rating:
Reina: 7 Not much to do but when he does need to do something, he did it well.
Kromkamp: 6.5 A good effort put up.
Carragher: 7 Lead the back 5 well.
Hyypia: 6.5 Was injuried and only played 1H. But he should be ready for the Benfica game.
Traore: 6.5 1H as left back and 2H as center back. A good display overall.
Cisse: 6 Tried very hard and was very lively, but was guilty of staying in the offside position that denied Fowler's goal.
Gerrard: 7 Another good display from the captain.
Hamann: 6.5 Doing the defensive work very well.
Kewell: 7 We need more from Harry. Had a few tame shots only.
Fowler: 7.5 Another disallowed goal, but the real one will come very soon.
Crouch: 7 Posed lots of threats to Charlton but unable to score.

Substitutions:
Riise: 6.5 Played 2H quite well.
Alonso: 7 Provided a few spectacular passes and shots but failed to find the net.
Morientes: Not enough time to impress.

Rafa: 6.5 Still unable to find solution to the lack of goals.

Charlton Athletic: 7 Come for 1 point and get what they want. But Myhre single-handly win them the point.

Man of the Match: Fowler. Showed us why Rafa brings him back. He may be annoymous for most of the game but was still the most deadiest in front of goal.
