2:2 and it is enough for us to reach the League Cup Final, and a visit to the new Wembley for the very first time. We controlled the game well but City was so strong that they took the league twice. But we shown our never say die spirit and come back twice to earn us a valuable draw, and over the two legs, we really deserve the victory.
Players Rating:
Reina: 6.5 Could not do too much about the two goals conceded.
Johnson: 7.5 Brilliant runs and provided the crucial one-two for the Bellamy goal.
Skrtel: 7 A rock in the defense.
Agger: 7 Solid at the back.
Enrique: 7 A nice run.
Adam: 6.5 Could do better.
Gerrard: 7.5 Cool penalty taken.
Kuyt: 7 Worked tirelessly for the team.
Henderson: 7.5 Felt assured with Gerrard at his back.
Downing: 7 A good performance.
Bellamy: 8.5 His work rate is fascinating.
Substitutions:
Kelly/Carroll: 6.5 Not enough time to impress.
King Kenny: 7 Would be delighted about how the team responded to his criticism. Now we need to play more consistent with such as high level.
Manchester City: 6.5 Over two legs they did not play well, and the absence of players are crucial.
Man of the Match: Bellamy. Other players should take note.
