0-1 and as Rafa said this is probably one of the worst performance under his rule. The team as a whole is just poor. Too many bad passes and lost possessions everywhere. It was simply a night to forget.
Now we need at least 3 wins from the following 4 games, and it is a real test to the players. Or Rafa had second thoughts and wanna focus on the League?
Players Rating:
Reina: 7 Did very well to keep the score at 0-0 but at the end it was an unstoppable goal.
Finnan: 6 A fair performance.
Carragher: 6 Not his best performance, and sometimes were exposed.
Hyypia: 6.5 Was dangerous at corners but failed to score the goal. A bit too slow at defense.
Aurelio: 5.5 Not his best performance.
Benayoun: 6 Ineffective this time.
Gerrard: 6 Still not back to his best.
Sissoko: 4.5 Very poor and lost the ball that lead to the goal.
Leto: 5 To be fair he is too young to start a Champions League game.
Torres: 6 No service provided.
Crouch: 5 On this performance you need to wonder why Rafa should start him.
Substitutions:
Riise: 6 Did OK when came up.
Voronin/Kuyt: 6 Not enough time to impress.
Rafa: 5 Rafa is under big pressure to explain the formation of this game. It is just simply not working.
Marseille: 6.5 Deserved win for them.
Man of the Match: Reina. The only player that cared.
