0-2 and this is a very poor performance in the first half. Nobody is willing to fight and Fiorentina did well to be on top and we were defeated by two very well taken goals. The performance is much better in 2H but it was too little, too late. The next two matches vs Lyon are now crucial and we need at least 4 points if we want to have any chance to qualify.
Players Rating:
Reina: 6.5 In general good but was unable to prevent both goals.
Johnson: 6 Not many chances to go forward.
Carragher: 7 One of the better player in defense.
Skrtel: 6.5 A flat performance.
Insua: 6.5 Not in his best form.
Aurelio: 6 Did not offer too much in the DM position.
Lucas: 6.5 Solid in midfield.
Kuyt: 6 Worked hard as usual.
Gerrard: 7.5 Lead by example but didn't do much to bring us anything.
Benayoun: 6.5 Did not offer many opportunities to the forwards.
Torres: 6.5 Failed to tear down the Fiorentina defense.
Substitutions:
Babel: 6.5 Not as impact as the previous two games.
Voronin: 6.5 Not enough time to impress.
Rafa: 6 Would be fuming with the first half performance. Now he needs to make sure we are back to normal on Sunday.
Fiorentina: 7.5 Well deserved winner and we may need to beat them at our final match to qualify.
Man of the Match: Gerrard. But he alone can't leave the team.
