Match Report 071110 vs Fulham: Fernando saves the day

2-0 and it was the brilliant Torres that scored the goal and saved us the day. We were on top for 80 minutes but just couldn't score a goal, and then a clever Reina passed the ball to Torres, with a beautiful spin, scored the goal and changed the game. This is the kind of player we need to win the title.

Players Rating:
Reina: 7.5 Superb vision for the assist.
Arbeloa: 7 Solid display.
Carragher: 7 Lead the defense well.
Hyypia: 7.5 One of his best of this season.
Aurelio: 7 Almost scored from a free kick. Will get that goal soon.
Benayoun: 7 Missed an absolute sitter.
Gerrard: 7.5 Driving the team forward.
Mascherano: 7 A little bit poor from his usual high standard. Too many mis passes.
Riise: 6 Another so-so performance.
Voronin: 7 Had chance to score at least 2.
Crouch: 7 Did well and earned us the penalty for the decisive goal.

Subsititutions:
Babal: 7 Nice performance.
Torres: 8 Come to save us.
Lucas: 7 Another nice performance from the youngster.

Rafa: 7 Nice touch by picking up the same team, and then changed to make the difference.

Fulham: 6 Was trying hard to get 1 point. Would be struggling for survival as usual.

Man of the Match: Torres. It's really joyful to watch him play.
