1-1 and this result send us to a mission impossible. We need Lyon to help us to beat Fiorentina in order to have any real chance to qualify. It will be very difficult, but it is not impossible. We played well and deserved to win but with one error in the last minute, our hope is fading and Europa League is looming onto us.
Player Ratings:
Reina: 7 Made a few great saves but could do nothing on the goal conceded.
Carragher: 7 Solid at the right back position.
Kyrgiakos: 5.5 His lack of pace exposed us and lead to the goal conceded.
Agger: 7 Solid despite playing through the pain barrier.
Insua: 6.5 Solid at the back.
Mascherano: 6.5 Solid in the middle.
Lucas: 7 Did well in the midfield.
Kuyt: 6.5 Workaholic as usual but failed to have any real impact.
Voronin: 6 Missed a glorious chance in 1H.
Benayoun: 7 Quiet game other than the assist to Babel.
Torres: 7 Credits to him in holding up the Lyon defense despite playing with an injury.
Substitutions:
Babel: 7.5 Finally made an impact again when called up.
Ngog: 6.5 Not enough time to impress.
Rafa: 6.5 Would be disappointed on how we conceded the goal cheaply, despite it is clearly an offside goal. We need some more luck.
Lyon: 6.5 They didn't do too much to deserve a victory, but let's hope they will help us in beating Fiorentina in 3 weeks' time.
Man of the Match: Babel. Wonder strike although at the end it is still not enough
