0-1 and once again the referee stole points from us. We did not played particularly well but we have 2 genuine handball claim denied and one of it could be a penalty. A draw would be a fairer result. The defeat ended our 7 game unbeaten run and we are now equal in points with Manchester City, but played two more game. The next match at City will be very crucial for our fight for 4th place, and we need Torres and Carragher to be back from injury for this match.
Players Rating:
Reina: 7 Did well in general but could not do anything for that goal when he is fully exposed.
Carragher: 7 Performed very well before the injury.
Skrtel: 6.5 Solid in general but was at the wrong place for the goal conceded.
Agger: 6.5 Solid performance.
Insua: 6.5 Did well in defending.
Lucas: 6.5 Have a nice chance to score but missed.
Mascherano: 7.5 Compact in the middle to protect the back four.
Kuyt: 6.5 Worked hard as usual.
Gerrard: 6.5 Form improving and should have equalized in the last minute.
Maxi: 6.5 Still adopting with the Premier League pace.
Ngog: 6.5 Not enough ball provided to him.
Substitutions:
Degen: 6 Completely missed his marker for the goal conceded.
Babel: 7 Did very well and almost scored for us.
Rafa: 6.5 Would be disappointed about the result. Need to solve the goal scoring drought. Maybe Babel up front with Ngog?
Arsenal: 6.5 Lucky to win the match. Probably will occupy the third place spot now.
Man of the Match: Mascherano. Always played with heart.
