Match Report 111026 at Stoke City: Great spirit drive us victory

2-1 and this is the first time we came home with a victory at Britannia Stadium.  What's more, it is also the first time Suarez scored 2 goals for us in a game, and the first time we won came from behind under King Kenny's second spell.  The fighting spirit of the team was high and at the end we fully deserved to qualify for the next round.

Players Rating:
Reina: 7 Solid in defending.
Kelly: 7 Did well in the game.
Carragher: 6 A bit poor in his standard.
Agger: 7 Had a solid game.
Coates: 6.5 Apart from a mistake that lead to the goal he was solid in general.
Henderson: 7 Great ball that lead to the winning goal.
Lucas: 7 Solid defending.
Spearing: 7.5 Had a very good game.
Maxi: 7 Good game in runnning down the frank.
Suarez: 8 Two great goals that win us the game.
Carroll: 6.5 Gradually picking up his form.

Substitutions:
Skrtel: 7 Solid defending when called upon.
Bellamy: 7 Provided us some more attacking options.
Kuyt: 7 Good support to both attacks and defendings when came on.

King Kenny: 7 Would be very delighted about how the team responded from trailing a goal.

Stoke City: 6.5 Still very tough to beat at home, and we made it.

Man of the Match: Suarez.  But need to improve his shooting.
