1-3 and we were totally outclassed by Chelsea. Apart from the first few minutes that Torres scored a lovely goal, we failed to control the game and let Chelsea dictate it. At the end two mistakes in defending corners had killed off the game. Now we are left with the mission impossible of beating Chelsea by 3 goals at the home ground, but remember Istanbul?
Players Rating:
Reina: 6 Can't really blame him for all the 3 goals, and he had made a few important saves.
Arbeloa: 6 Not going forward enough.
Carragher: 6.5 Did made a last man safe just before the goal but in general unable to cope with the Chelsea attack,
Skrtel: 5.5 Failed to handle Drogba.
Aurelio: 5.5 Had a bad game in his standard.
Alonso: 7.5 One of the better player.
Lucas: 6 Not strong enough against Chelsea.
Kuyt: 6 Had a quiet game.
Gerrard: 6 Did not do enough to raise the teammates.
Riera: 5.5 Not much contribution.
Torres: 7 Scored a great goal.
Substitutions:
Benayoun: 6 No magic this time.
Dossena/Babel: 6 Not enough time to impress.
Rafa: 6 Need to make sure the players pick up themselves as soon as possible for the Blackburn game.
Chelsea: 7.5 Fully deserved to win as they have broken our tempo.
Man of the Match: Alonso. Apart from partially blamed for the equalizer, he did very well.
