In my opinion, I thought Garcia had a good game yesterday. Yes, he was still losing possession but not as much.
What's disappointing is why Xabi Alonso was not playing right from the start. Didi Hamann was playing but a pity he got hit in the head and was dizzy for the entire first half. Momo was good but he's still trying to get a hold of the situation. Stevie G was totally cancelled out by Carrick/Jenas. Did he make his trademark centre midfield runs yesterday? Not really.
Overall, fair result. But Reina is starting to scare me. KNN, miss the ball in the first half, anyhow ran out of the small box.....I hope this is not another GK jinx.....
Gerrard looks fatiguely weak that night , maybe the Wales' and Northern Ireland's match took it's toll .
Maybe at the brighter notes , Benitez are keeping his squad tight and fit for the Betis' match .
