Match Report 060401at West Bromwich Albion: A easy win

2-0 and we were in control from start to finish. Cisse played very well on the right and showed us how his pace can terrify defenders with a goal and an assist. Alonso was playing like Joe Montana and it is really nice to see him excel especially without Stevie G. And Fowler has scored another poacher goal. Rafa, give him a contract.

Player Ratings:
Reina: 7.5 Had to be very alert in 2H against Gera to earn another clean sheet.
Finnan: 7 Nice defending.
Carragher: 7 Solid as usual.
Hyypia: 7 Good game in defense.
Riise: 7 Another nice display.
Cisse: 8 Used his pace very well and scored a well deserved goal.
Alonso: 8 Played like a quarter back. His long passes that feed Cisse provides a lot of danger and 2 goals.
Sissoko: 7.5 Tackle as if he was never injuried.
Kewell: 7 Doing the destroy on the left.
Fowler: 7.5 A nice goal and he surpassed Dalgish. We want more!
Crouch: 6.5 Missed a sitter.

Substitutions:
Luis Garcia: 6.5 Continue the terrifying job on the right.
Morientes: 6.5 A fair game.
Kromkamp: Not enough time to impress.

Rafa: 7.5 His tactic is spot on once again in using Cisse to outrun Robinson. Need to address the slightly sloopy defense 2H when Gera was on the pitch.

West Bromwich Albion: They are now back to relegation zone. And they really need to work very hard to survive.

Men of the Match: Alonso and Cisse. Both played well and deserve the award.
