Match Report 090503 vs Newcastle United: Keep the pressure

3-0 and we refused to give up. With 3 games to go we really need a miracle to win the league, but we will not give up and try to win the remaining 3 games, and see if we are deserved to win the league.

Players Rating:
Reina: 7 Not a single save to make.
Arbeloa: 7.5 Solid defending.
Carragher: 7.5 Denied Newcastle any chance to shot on target.
Agger: 7.5 Defend well and almost scored another superb goal.
Aurelio: 7.5 Solid defending and great delivery for the 3rd goal.
Alonso: 7.5 Hit the bar twice.
Mascherano: 7.5 Ran all over the pitch to win the ball.
Benayoun: 8.5 Superb performance and could have score more.
Gerrard: 7.5 Unlucky not to score.
Riera: 7 Good performance.
Kuyt: 8.5 Scored one and created another.

Substitutions:
Babel: 7 Stretched the Newcastle defense.
Lucas: 7.5 Scored an easy header.
Ngog: 7 Not enough time to impress.

Rafa: 7.5 Would be happy about the team performance.

Newcastle: 5.5 They have a nice goalkeeper and honest manager, but they don't have anyone to score goal and defend well. Will relegate unless improved dramatically in the remaining 3 matches.

Men of the Match: Benayoun/Kuyt. Two constant threats.
