Match Report 060321 at Birmingham City: Magnificiant Seven

7-0 and we break the duck and finally beaten Birmingham City. They may be hindered by the long injury list but still they are a Premiership Team. This is the largest margin win for two Premiership Team in the FA Cup and our biggest ever FA Cup away win.

The match was effectively over at 5 minutes when Crouch scored to make it 2-0. But then we keep on scoring and at the end the result did justify our efforts. We are in high confidence now and we will try our best to catch up Manchester and win the FA Cup as well.

Player Rating:
Reina: 7 One save to made and he made it superbly.
Finnan: 7 A good display
Carragher: 7.5 A nice tackle to prevent Forsell to score.
Hyypia: 8 Scored in 54 seconds to kick start the riot.
Traore: 6.5 Too bad he was injuries so early...
Gerrard: 8.5 Lead the team with 2 nice assists. Superb performance once again.
Alonso: 7 Played well without really shine.
Sissoko: 7.5 Welcome back! A nice goggle and a nice assist.
Riise: 7.5 A rocket goal!
Luis Garcia: 7.5 Two nice assists.
Crouch: 8 Two nice goals taken.

Substitutions:
Kewell: 7.5 A nice crossing that lead to a Birmingham own goal.
Morientes: 7.5 A nice taken goal thanks to the unselfishness of Gerrard.
Cisse: 7.5 Scored a nice goal in just 11 minutes on the pitch. And no disrespectful acts this time.

Rafa: 8 A nice team selection and a nice performance.

Birmingham City: 3 A very poor performance and it is unlikely they will survive - unless they beat Manchester United at the weekend and then Chelsea the following week.

Man of the Match: Gerrard. Showing no tireness at all.
