Worst thing today was checking the Spurs score on the BBC website, Spurs 0-3 Charlton it said
![Frown :( :(](/styles/default/xenforo/vbSmilies/Normal/frown.gif)
Was looking forward to highlights later till I saw it was a mistake
Liverpool were horrible upfront, Utd were woeful in midfield, hard to draw any conclusions for either team as it was impossible to know if say Pool's defence was good or Utd were just woeful.
Fletcher, Carrick were woeful, Nani seemed to have a bet with someone pertaining to how few passes he could get away with today. Giggs, he looked almost good at points today which makes a change. Utd's midfield was truly horrible overall though, conceded posession constantly, very poor passing, created very few real chances.
Only seen one replay of the penalty, missed the first 4 minutes of the game, looked, soft at best, dive at worst. Red card was clear as day, off the ground, caught the player, landed with his full force in his studs, no question.
Tiote's yesterday I thought was far less of a red, he was off the ground but he hit the ground , hit the ball and THEN took the player. Gerrards was unquestionable, Tiote's was a judgement call more for the reckless nature of what could have happened in his case. The reason you red card tackles like Tiote's is even when not malicious if you mistime that kind of tackle, you end up with Gerrards tackle. Basically you punish the reckless nature of that Tiote tackle to try to prevent the Gerrard type tackle.
Bit of a rubbish game really, Torres looks uninterested, Gerrard looks very poor for him, Maxi/Babel/Kuyt don't look anywhere near good enough for the league let alone a top half team.
Utd, what can you say, they need a whole new midfield really, and probably another striker, maybe an old experienced one on the cheap hoping for one of the younger guys to get good in the next few seasons.
