Match Report 100221 at Manchester City: Losing ground

0-0 and together with result elsewhere we have lost some ground in the race for fourth. The stake of losing the game is too high so both team just played very cautiously, and at the end a draw is not too bad. We still have 33 points to play for and we need to improve our form.

Reina: 7 Made a great save to keep another clean sheet.
Carragher: 6.5 Failed to help the attack and at times unable to contain the City wingers.
Skrtel: 7.5 Back to his top form with a couple of superb tackles.
Agger: 6.5 Solid at the back in general.
Insua: 6.5 Unable to support the attack.
Lucas: 6 Too many miss passes.
Mascherano: 7 Played with commitment as usual but was lucky not to be sent off.
Kuyt: 6.5 Did not do too much.
Gerrard: 6.5 Getting closer to top fitness.
Maxi: 6 Almost anonymous.
Babel: 6.5 Get a rare chance to start but did not do too much.

Substitutions:
Benayoun: 7 Very active and could have won us a penalty.
Torres: 6.5 Good to see him back.
Aquilani: 6.5 Not enough time to impress.

Rafa: 6.5 Would be delighted to see Yossi and Torres back, from now on we need to work out our attack and score more goals.

Manchester City: 6.5 Both team will be there for the race for fourth.

Man of the Match: Skrtel: Superb tackles helped us for another clean sheet.
