I'll take your word for it, radio 5 were praising Sonko though.

he was ok, but was at fault for 1st goal, and generally looked shaky

[Katie Marsden]

Convey was excellent.

People questioned if he had lost it, he gave them the answer today.

[Cripple Creek]

Not quite sure what radio 5 were on about. Sonko looked pretty shaky to me. I've just watched the game live on Foxtel and he was very, very lucky not to have given away a penalty after what was an obvious foul agains Torres.
Anyway, that was not a result I was expecting in my wildest dreams. I hope we build on it and don't use it as an excuse not to spend in January and not to make some changes. I'd like to see more of Bikey, Cisse and Fae in the new year.
Great performance though. We played our hearts out. Well done Reading and, oh, great save Marcus from Reyes.

We've really missed him this year. Pace and creativity is what we need to take pressure of the back four.

TBH, radio 5 didn't stop talking about the game from a Benetiz/ Liverpool perspective.

agree, great result, though would domore harm than good if coppell thought that this would be an excuse to keep the same team going for the rest of the year

Have they signed him from Spain then?

[UpNorth]

Sonko had a poor first half and was at fault for their first goal. However, the two TV replays for Liverpool penalties showed that Sonks got a touch to both.

Our midfield were really up for the game, Convey and Hunt worked their socks off, Harper was his usual invisible self until he popped up for the goal and Gunnar had one of his best games of the season. Doyle and Kits were excellent up front.

USA made a couple of excellent saves but lacks confidence coming off his line and his kicking was poor.

Overall a great performance and possibly the biggest result in the history of Reading FC.

Looks as if Murts and Sonks picked up injuries so we could see Bikey and Rosenior in for the Brum game.

[peeping_bernal]

At the time thought Sonko was at fault for the first but having seen the replay on TV, I would give him the benefit of the doubt as the ball seemed to go past him out of reach and I think it was Shorey who was easily shrugged of the ball by Scouse boy. Yes he is looking a bit rusty, but after so long out what do you expect. It has taken Convey a good few games to get back to his old self.
Just hope SSC saves MR Mads £10m and sticks with what we have

Largely agree although I would give both Shorey and Kitson a 7.

Although I am normally a Gunnar fan I would have dropped him after his awful performance last week but credit to both him and SC for keeping faith with him - he did really well today.

Sonko is still looking a bit off the pace and Bikey must feel a little hard done by as he has been generally good whenever he has had a chance this season.

Probably Convey's best performance in the Premier League so far.

Well done to all the team and SC for the greatest individual game result in Reading's history.

It went over him because he was out of position, he either should have been in position to win it or in the gapping hole that Gerrard ran through having shrugged off a challenge from Hunt.

But we won!

and a cameo 7 for Leroy - brilliant header (higher than Crouch's) and looked hungry.

[KC Royal]

Watched on TV, can give a different perspective..

Hahnemann 8 - the save from Riise was his best of the season, a wicked swerve which looked to be taking it in until he got across to tip round the post.
Murty 7

Subs - Bikey, Lita, Cisse all 5

[The 17 Bus]

Why does a goal have to be someones fault?? Last week Kitson scored a similar goal against 'Boro, I did not see the folk here saying it was a defensive error.
