3-2 and we come from two goals down and win the game in injury time. The players really have the belief to win, and we fully deserve it.
We started brightly in this game but somehow two careless mistakes and we were 2 down. But we never gave up, Torres once again show his skills and scored two to equalized the game. Kuyt has missed twice in 1H but at the end he has the last laugh by scoring the winning goal. The worrying sign is that Skrtel is injured, and we wish him to come back soon.
Players Rating:
Reina: 6.5 Could have done better for the two goals conceded, especially the second one.
Arbeloa: 7 Did well going forward especially in the second half.
Skrtel: 6.5 Was exposed by the speed of Robinho and later on injured. Get well soon.
Carragher: 7 Did well as usual.
Aurelio: 6 Cannot keep with the pace of Wright-Phillips.
Alonso: 7.5 Consistent performance throughout.
Mascherano: 6 A rare poor performance.
Kuyt: 7.5 Missed two sitters in 1H, but at the end he had the last laugh.
Gerrard: 8 Over played in 1H but did well to recover in 2H including a superb corner that lead to the equaliser.
Riera: 7 Provided many deadly crosses but nobody at the end to take them.
Torres: 9 Annoymous in 1H, but did well in 2H to score two goals. Also missed another hat trick.
Substitutions:
Dossena: 7 Did well when coming up.
Keane: 7.5 Created spaces for Kuyt and Torres for the winning goal.
Benayoun: 7 Did well in attack.
Rafa: 7 Would be disappointed about the mistakes in 1H, but would be happy about the way we came from behind. However he needs to sort out the defense as Skrtel is injured.
Manchester City: 6.5 Superb in 1H but then offered nothing in 2H. The red card may be a cause but long before that they let us controlled the game.
Man of the Match: Torres. Missed another hat trick though.
