1-2 and this is a very disappointing as this is a golden opportunity for us to move up the table, as most of our rivals were losing. We played quite well in the first half and were fully deserved with a half time lead. But luck ran out in second half and as soon as Johnson scored an own goal the momentum changed. As Gerrard and Torres tired we didn't have any tricks to win the game, and the result left us at 7th place. Time is running out and we definitely need to win the next 3 games, where we should be capable to do so.
Players Rating:
Reina: 6.5 Could do nothing with both goals.
Johnson: 6 Bad luck in scoring an own goal and should mark Arshavin tighter for the second goal conceded.
Carragher: 7 Solid defending and lead the defense well.
Agger: 6.5 Did well in defensing.
Aurelio: 6.5 Did not do much to support attack.
Mascherano: 6.5 Not his best game.
Lucas: 6.5 Did OK in the midfield.
Kuyt: 7 Scored a great goal but could not lead us to victory.
Gerrard: 6.5 Should have win us a penalty.

Torres: 6.5 Had a few chances but failed to take any of them.
Substitutions:
Aquilani: 6.5 Failed to change the game.
Ngog/Degen: 6.5 Not enough time to impress.
Rafa: 6 Need to improve the confidence of the team. We miss them badly.
Arsenal: 6.5 A poor game but luck was on their side.
Men of the Match: Carragher/Kuyt. But still not enough to bring us anything from the game.
