1-0 and the birthday boy scored a really nice goal that was decisive. We did not play particularly well, but what matters is that we get 3 more points and 1 more win we will guarantee at least finishing 3rd, although finishing 2nd is still mathematically possible, but it will be very unlikely.
Player Ratings:
Reina: 8 Made a lot of saves to make sure we win.
Finnan: 6.5 A bit shaky.
Carragher: 7 Made a great tackle in 1H to keep the score at 0-0
Hyypia: 6.5 Looks a bit tired.
Riise: 6.5 A decent defense display, but not much use when pushing up.
Cisse: 6 Not effective in attack and was correctly substituted.
Gerrard: 6 Not very effective. Maybe he was rested for too long?
Alonso: 7 Have a few nice passes and was unlucky to hit the post.
Kewell: 6.5 Provided lots of problems to the Bolton defense.
Fowler: 7.5 A well taken goal that makes the difference.
Crouch: 7 A nice assist and a few tame header.
Substitutions:
Luis Garcia: 6.5 Have a good impact when come up but soon faded.
Hamann/Traore: Haven't seen them for a long time, but not enough time to impress.
Rafa: 6.5 A good game plan in general, although we seemed to be unable to control the pace.
Bolton Wanderers: 5.5 A poor display probably due to the jading of players. They need to step up a gear in order to qualify for UEFA Cup.
Man of the Match: Reina. Fowler scored the winning goal, and Reina makes sure we get the 3 points.
