Match Report 080202 vs Sunderland: Good result unconvincing performance

3-0 and the result really flattered us as we did not play that well. Thanks to the referee Sunderland had two shouts of penalty denied, and at the end we got another one and scored. But a win is still a win and we need to build up from here, although it will be tough as next game is away at Chelsea, but at least we should try.

Players Rating:
Reina: 7.5 Became the quickest Liverpool goalkeeper to reach 50th clean sheet.
Carraher: 7.5 Surprisngly played as right back but unsurprisingly played very well with an assist.
Skrtel: 6.5 Still a bit nervous but he is getting there.
Hyypia: 7 Did well in helping Skrtel.
Aurelio: 6 A poor performance.
Pennant: 7 Lively performance.
Gerrard: 7 Lead the team in attack.
Mascherano: 7 Another superb defensive performance.
Lucas: 6 Not convincing as a winger.
Torres: 7.5 Scored a superb goal.
Crouch: 8 Scored one and assisted one.

Substitutions:
Finnan: 6 Did OK as left back.
Benayoun/Kuyt: 6 Not enough time to impress.

Rafa: 7 Would be happy about the result, but we still need to work hard and improve.

Sunderland: 6 May find themselves unlucky not to get at least a point.

Man of the Match: Crouch. Should start more games.
