I don't think that Torres had a particularly good game and until his goal he hadn't caused any real distress to Nited's defence yet Redknapp asserted afterwards that he'd "terrorised" them which is utter balls....it's the sign of a top player/forward that he gets one chance and sticks it away though so fair do's to him for that.

Thing I don't like about Drogba is the aftermath of the dive. The rolling around until play is stopped, then suddenly he becomes the incredible hulk only moments later.

Spot on.

Vidic looks proper dodgy at the moment. Even with harmless balls forward he still seems hesitant. Time for Evans to get a few games I think.

Welcome to football.

Torres 'played the game', went down at the slightest touch a few times when there was nothing on, thus winning free kicks, came alive when the chance was there, and made rio look a mug, albeit down Vidic's channel.

Mariner wasn't biased, just weak, it was a 'homer' ref performance, the crowd (quite rightly) played their part.

Both centre backs look dodgy. I actually thought Vidic had a decent game, probably his best of the season. He cleared just about everything that came near him. On another day, in another ground he probably wouldn't have got his first yellow. I thought he dealt with the threat pretty easily.

You keep taking the 3 points and we'll keep taking the titles

One in a row would be nice for you ATM wouldn't it.

Scholes is not fast enough to compete in games against sides like Liverpool or Chelsea. That was made clear yesterday, Lucas owned him, which is frankly, embarrassing.

An attempted miracle ball is what we needed, Anderson has a spark about him, he'd have attempted to get a through ball for Rooney or Berbatov instead passing it sideways. I know he aint the best finisher in the world, but he would have had some shots and at least made Reina make a save. He's been class lately, he should've been given an opportunity.



No harm done! Are you joking?

Obviously winning the title is the most important thing, but two other things you want to happen in a season is to beat City and to beat the Scousers. Losing to them three times in a row is awful and gutting. The worst thing is that we don't even play well against them or show any gut and determination.

yes losing to Liverpool is an issue but the main issue is the league and as long as we win that then i couldnt really crae who we lose to, we have the last laugh cause we win the league, theres a long way to go and the premier league title can go to maybe 4 or maybe 5 places but if we win the league then i wouldnt be bothered if we lost to Liverpool.

i dont like losing to liverpool especially having a liverpool fan for a sister but i have hag gloating when they beat us last year twice but we won the league so i had the last laugh.

Scholes never had the chance to play, Lucas and Macherano didnt give Scholes or Carrick the room to play and Anderson wouldnt have been able to have dealt with them closing dow quickly either.

i still think that Scholes and Giggs are still the best we have in midfeild they might be 35 but Nani isnt in the same league as Giggs and Scholes is still one of the most accurate passes of the ball in the league.

I've never known a United fan to be not bothered when we've lost to them lot. Beating them is a big priority in the season.



Carrick was our best player, he was able to ship the ball around. The fact that Scholes couldn't get into the game is a sign that he aint quick enough for the big games, Anderson is a lot faster than both Carrick and Scholes, so would've been able to get the ball down, and get it shipped out, or get a through ball into the forwards before Lucas could get to him. Anderson would've also helped keep Benayoun quiet.



Giggs has had a good season, there's no doubt about that, but yesterday he was anonymous. He cannot play in the same side as Scholes. Scholes may well be a good passer of the ball, but he can only do that when he is given the time, and he can't get that against the top sides. Sadly, his best days are behind him. Giggs still has a lot to offer, but he cannot play every game. Nani hasn't done too badly this season, just some of his decision making at times has been wrong, but that will only improve over time.

If we were to name our strongest line up at the moment, Scholes would not be in it.

Where's the little Serb on the left disappeared to?
