Not surprising from the mirror they always seemed a little liverpool biased to me.I saw the match report in today's Mirror and Gerrard received a rating of 4/10, which naturally begged the question, what would it take to score less than 4?
To be fair he put in a great tackle on Mata which gave everyone a lift for about ten seconds.I saw the match report in today's Mirror and Gerrard received a rating of 4/10, which naturally begged the question, what would it take to score less than 4?
Yep exactly, he wasn't terrible, just ineffective. If this is his bogey ground, then fair enough - one mediocre performance per season won't do much harm.I agree, I don't think Rooney had a bad game other than the penalty and the offside traps. He held the ball well and had a few good passes although one or two were missed placed but who doesn't do that. Thought he was unfairly criticised at half time in the match day thread.
Thanks for the link, found it interesting.This is very good tactical analysis of the match. Worth a read.
