Match Report 120505 vs Chelsea: Too little, too close

1:2 and although people may morn about the goal that was disallowed, in fact we didn't play too well and King Kenny probably had get it wrong in terms of formation.  Without Carroll, Suarez was forced to be along up front and the midfielders dropped too deep that allowed the Chelski players rooms to play.  A triple errors lead to a goal conceded early on, and we never recovered.

It was a really disappointment to the team, but we will bounce back and return to Wembley again and clinch the Cup.

Players Rating:
Reina: 6 Made an error for the first goal.
Johnson: 6 Failed to win the Cup again...
Skrtel: 6 Faced a hard time.
Agger: 6 Could not cope with Chelsea attack.
Enrique: 5.5 Another mistake with his form dipped.
Spearing: 5.5 Did poorly in the big game.
Henderson: 5.5 A fair game without much achievement.
Bellamy: 6 Could not tear off the Chelski defense.
Gerrard: 6 Failed to inspire the team.
Downing: 6 Did not do much until Carroll was on.
Suarez: 7 Was isolated up front until Carroll is on.

Substitutions:
Carroll: 7.5 Should have come earlier and should have scored the equaliser.
Kuyt: 6 Failed to have an impact.

King Kenny: 6 The formation was all wrong.

Chelski.  Played better than us.

Man of the Match: Carroll.  Confidence is back.
