3-2 and at times it was afraid that the Istanbul Final will happened again but with a reverse result, but fortunately we hang on and win the game. Crouch was on fire after given a rare chance, and both wingers were playing extremely well. It was a well deserved win and we are in a good position. Should we beat Bordeaux home and away we will be through.
Players Rating:
Reina: 6.5 Made a few great saves at the end to keep the score.
Finnan: 7 A nice cross for the wonderful Crouch overhead kick
Carragher: 6.5 Back from a rest with a nice display.
Agger: 6.5 He is soon to be our best defender.
Aurelio: 6.5 A nice assist, but he was at fault for both goals conceded.
Pennant: 7.5 His best performance for us so far. Certainly it will do no harm for his recall to the national team.
Gerrard: 7 Drive the team as usual and was involved in the first goal.
Alonso: 6.5 Another nice performance.
Luis Garcia: 7.5 Made a difference with a nice header goal.
Kuyt: 6.5 Worked hard and was rested for tactical purpose.
Crouch: 8 Back with 2 goals and reminded Rafa that he can also do a job.
Substitutions:
Gonzalez: 6 Another nice display.
Sissoko: 6 Provided assurance to the defense when we need it.
Bellamy: 6 Not enough time to impress.
Rafa: 7.5 His use of Crouch was a nice move and paid off handsomely, but he need to address the lost of concentration.
Galatasaray: 6.5 Showed they can play good football in 2H. It would be helpful to us if they beat PSV.
Man of the Match: Crouch. Still on fire.
