Match Report 070926 at Reading: Awesome

4-2 and Torres is simply awesome. We seldom see a player single-handly destroyed the opponent that easy, and we witnessed that. Of course Rafa will continue to rotate, but this will only do the team good as this will keep Torres fresh. But the remaining strikers need to step up now.

Players Rating:
Itandje: 6 A bit scary in his debut.
Finnan: 6.5 Not the best performance.
Carragher: 7.5 Saved the team several times from trouble.
Arbeloa: 6.5 Did OK as centre back.
Aurelio: 6.5 Gradually improving after injury.
Leto: 7 A nice first start and did well on the right.
Benayoun: 8 Superb individual goal.
Sissoko: 7 Solid display.
Lucas: 6.5 A nice performance.
Torres: 10 First of many hat tricks in a red shirt.
Crouch: 6.5 Linked up well with Torres.

Substitutions:
Riise: 7 Assist with his first touch.
Gerrard: 7 An intelligent pass to complete Torres' hat trick.
Hobbs: 6.5 Not enough time to impress.

Rafa: 7 Would be happy about the performance.

Reading: 6 Didn't play well.

Man of the Match: Torres. Simply Fantastic.
