Player performances aside, the big worry now is more injuries. Hope Kelly and Agger will be ok.
Saying that, at least we attacked with purpose tonight, even with very little end product. Feel sorry for N'gog, he really isn't cutting it. Won a few free kicks in decent positions but awful in front of goal.
Kuyt ran his legs off again, and came up with the crucial goal.
90 minutes more game time for Cole, hope it helps to make a difference for him, wasn't awful but wasn't good either.
Kelly was great once again for the time he was on.
And Sotis gave his all, well played both of them!
Raul looked class, and got stuck in a bit, good to see that.
Poulsen back to his worst, really poor tonight.
Thought Lucas was ok, had to cover a lot for Poulsen but managed to have a decent effort on goal. Would love to see him
doing more of that.
Wilson did ok, seems hesitant at going forward but then I guess he is a CB and only filling in at LB.
Agger classy as usual, hope he's ok.
Pepe had a couple of errors but mainly did what he had to do well.
Carra was solid and Skrtel wasn't on long enough to do anything much.
All in, delighted we're through. Nervy game because we brought a 0-0 to start with, but we created a good number of chances.
Crowd sounded good tonight as well, second half especially.
Well in lads!
