I know this is late, but I just got to watch this for a second time and don't really feel like doing a complete review. So instead I offer you my opinion on individual performances.
Itandje C+
His most impressive performance for us so far, made a couple of great saves and the goal really wasn't his fault. Did overplay a couple of shots though.
Aurelio B-
Am I the only one who was impressed with Fabio's performance? The Brazilian seemed to be on his game all night long and made some great crosses into the box, not to mention a nasty shot trying to catch the Bluebird keeper off-guard.
Carragher C-
Probably the most lackadaisical performance I've ever seen him give.
Hobbs C-
Made some glaring mistakes that could have cost us against a more formidable opponent, but was the best effort I've ever seen from him.
Arbeloa C
He was sufficient, made no apparent mistakes, but seemed to give just an adequate effort.
Leto C+
Gave a solid effort and tried to be a factor even when he didn't have the ball. Was unlucky at times.
Steven Gerrard C+
I felt as if he treated this game as a run-through. Was unlucky not to score another goal nonetheless.
Lucas Leiva C+
His effort diminished as the game wore on, but seemed to be everywhere at times.
Nabil El Zhar B-
The goal definitely accentuated his performance, but his discipline to stay out on the wing at times really opened up the middle and gave us a lot of chances.
Ryan Babel B
My man of the match. He was untiring and created a lot opportunities for himself and others, unfortunately there always seemed to be a Cardiff player there to block the path of his shots.
Peter Crouch C-
Redeemed himself in the second half from another anti-Crouch rant. He still got in the way too much and needs to work on utilizing his strengths.
Yossi Benayoun B
Was outstanding and probably should have a goal to go with his assist.
Harry Kewell C+
Not really sure what position he was playing, but he appeared head and shoulders above the opposition.
Javier Mascherano N/A
Barely played, made no mistakes.
So there you go, half-assed, I know, but honestly, we really didn't give that much of an effort in that match. That's just how I feel. Cheers.
