1-0 and this time Fowler sent an excellent birthday gift to Rafa by scoring the goal that secured us 3rd place and Champions League qualification. The goal is a very controversal one, but this is how the rule is intrepreted... and fortunately this time we benefited from it.
Fowler has scored 4 goals in 4 starts now and it makes Rafa's decision easier. For Cisse, he is puting himself in an awful position... but he can improve it by scoring against Chelsea.
Players Rating:
Reina: 7.5 Another good goal keeping performance.
Finnan: 7 Defending very well
Carragher: 8 Another superb performance.
Hyypia: 7.5 He may have lost his pace, but it is more than covered by his superb positioning.
Warnock: 7 A bit shaky at times facing Bellamy but in general a good performance.
Cisse: 6.5 A good dummy in the offside position, but he missed 2 golden chances to make the win easier.
Alonso: 6.5 A slight off day from his high standard.
Sissoko: 7.5 Superb in midfield.
Riise: 7 A good display in left midfield and defense.
Fowler: 8 How can Rafa justify not renewing his contract?
Morientes: 6.5 An assist and a tame header.
Substitutions:
Luis Garcia: 7 Provided another level of threat to Blackburn
Kewell: 6.5 A good performance in general.
Krompamp: Not enough time to impress.
Blackburn Rovers: 6 Not really in the game, and now they probably need to settle on UEFA Cup.
Men of the Match: Carragher and Fowler. Two great Scrousers diplay for the Hillsborough 96.
