Match Report 100312 at Lille: How many wake up calls do we need?

0-1 and we lose again. We played for a draw but at the end a nicely taken free kick conceded us to a second successive defeat. We still can quality with one goal down going into Anfield, but how can we escape from this abyss?

Player Rating:
Reina: 7 Keep the embarrassment to a minimum.
Johnson: 6 Not doing much to help the attack.
Carragher: 6 Was lucky not to concede a penalty.
Agger: 6.5 Solid at the back.
Insua: 6 Not much contribution.
Mascherano: 6.5 Solid in the middle.
Lucas: 6 Barely seen.
Kuyt: 6 Very tired and was largely anonymous.
Gerrard: 6 Not interested in the game with many miss passes.
Babel: 6.5 Had a few great chances but failed to take any of them.
Torres: 6 Had a nice header saved.

Substitutions:
Riera: 6 Not much contribution.
El Zhar: 6 Not enough time to impress.

Rafa: 6 Need to sort it out now!

Lille: 6.5 Would be delighted to go to Anfield with a goal on hand, but we can still quality.

Man of the Match: Reina. Only player ready to fight for the team.
