A good resut away from home !!
Marseille were much better side last night than they were last november. Pace upfront, good movement. I thought we could possibly be in trouble after they scored, but we rallied as we do so well and the rest is history.
I think there were some good performances and some shocking performances.
Highlight was Babel - he showed us what he can do when he puts his mind to it.
Lowlight was Lucas - not fit to wear the jersey.
This is how I thought we got on:
Reina 8 - Good commanding performance, great saves and excellent distribution.
Arebloa 6 - Still has to prove why he is better than Finnan !!
Carragher 8- After shakey start marshalled defence quite well, dealt with all aerial threats.
Skrtel 6 - Too eager in the challenge, siily freekicks in and around the box. Can do better.
Dossena 5 - Poor first half, did better late on, needs to remember he's a defender !!
Lucas 3 - No help to Mascha at all. bad tackles, conceded far to many freekicks, s**t distribution
Masch 6 - Struggled on his own in midfield. Tired after Sat's heroics
Kuyt 6 - Boundless energy, no end product, same old story !
Gerrard 7 - Great penalties ? Excellent solo effort.needed to help Mascha out more.
Babel 8 - Excellent. Good skill and touch,pace and deserved a goal. What a save to deny him !!
Torres 7 - Good 1st half,endless running of channels. Tired after 70. He'll be back !!
Benayoun 1 - Worse that Lucas, light weight,didn't offer a thing. January Sales !!!!
Reira 4 - Showed again why Rafa pursued him.Excellent close control.
Could track back more.
Keane 3 - Deserved more than 4 mins after Sat, needs a goal. Yossi should have played
him in, instead of running the corners.
Not a bad way to start the campaign. Better than last year !
Keep it up you Redman !!!
