Match Report 081115 at Bolton Wanderers: Back on the right track

2-0 and this is a nice win that bring us back on the right track. We controlled the game and apart from a scary spell in the first 15 minutes of second half there is only one leader. At the end two nice headers and the game is over.

Reina: 7 Not really tested.
Carragher: 7 Played well as debuty right back, although he did not offer much attacking.
Agger: 7 Solid display.
Hyypia: 7 At time unable to cope with the speed of Gardner, but in general he had a good game.
Aurelio: 7.5 Did well going forward with a nice assist.
Alonso: 8 Superb passing and dictated the game.
Mascherano: 7 Tackle and tackle.
Kuyt: 7.5 Scored an acute header.
Gerrard: 7.5 Superb diving header.
Riera: 7 Nice display.
Keane: 6.5 Missed a glorious chance.

Substitutions:
Torres: 7.5 Hardworking and was rewarded with a nice assist.
Lucas: 7 Should have scored from 6 yards.
Benayoun: 7 Not enough time to impress.

Rafa: 7 Would be happy about the way we control the game, although we cannot score a goal by foot.

Bolton Wanderers: 6 Potential banana skin but did not shown up in 1H.

Man of the Match: Alonso. Playing near his peak for us.
