Man of Honour
2-2 Finished.
Wasteful. We could have been top (by also winning the game in hand) yet we blow it. Should have utterly pillaged W Ham.

Manonne gone from the next Super Keeper to Uber Flop already?

Deserved three points for Liverpool today. United barely tested Reina, Rooney looked the only player with any desire to win, Carrick was wasteful as usual and Vidic had a torrid time against Torres again. That said, United played some great football their movement was fantastic but there was just no real threat up front. Tevez and Ronaldo are clearly missed.
Liverpool could have been three up at half time if it wasn't for Van Der Sar and some wasteful finishing. Couple of contentious issues- Carragher/Owen incident and the referee being totally inept and consistently pressured by the United players over every decision but all in all a great result for my boys.

Nani was on for about 5 minutes and had two shots on target, more than anyone else had managed in 90 mins! I swear people just come on here and write "Nani was bad" without actually watching the game. He did far more than Giggs did in the whole match!

Give Denilson more chances to play, he's better than Song by far. Almunia needs to get back in net. Mannone has flapped and flailed his way through his chance of shining, now get out. We need to kill off teams, atm we aren't doing that, we are letting them back in. Same with Europe last week, we should have killed them off way before, what happened? We let them in again and it finishes a draw. Have a word please Wenger and get the team playing for 90 minutes.
Not really. It's just a bit annoying when you take the time to post, to try and contribute and the only feedback you get is smart mouth put downs on your grammar.

Come on, one of those my nan could've saved with her zimmer frame it was so poorly hit. I can't even remember the other one.

Two games that we were cruising, blown in the space of a few days, not happy!!!

If we lose the Derby I think I'm actually going to have to scream.

He thinks he's bloody amazing when he just isn't. He tries to copy Ronaldo in his play but fails miserably. He needs to start learning as he's not as good as he thinks.

I'm not sure how to say what I want to say, withotu repeating past posts.
Song, stupid, can't stop tackling from behind completely needlessly. Cole was GOING AWAY FROM THE DAMN GOAL, with no chance of scoring, why are you putting your foot in, because thats how he tackles, from behind, dozens of fouls every game where he just clips people from behind, thats his entire game, a disaster waiting to happen, completely unforseeable, except of course for me saying it almost every weekend for two damn years
Diaby, pathetic, Arsenal didn't do much in the second half at all but not 1 minute after Diaby was off and Eduardo was on AND we switched to a 4-4-2 did we get a decent chance, unlucky not to go in, tough luck, had we created 10 of those chances in the second half one would have gone in.
AS per usual, Eboue off first, just shocked Diaby was taken off at all, but not surprised our subs came WAY to late to change the game and turn the tide, we should have made changes at 2-0 as it slipped away, but the best substitution, in the 87th minute.
Arshavin is a non entity since Diaby came into the team, why because he can't play Arshavin in behind, he has no vision and no ability to pass infront of a player at all. Arshavin doesn't have the pace to do fullbacks, or wingers, its not his game in general. Diaby's movement and lack of effort was yet again embarassing, only thing worse was Wenger starting him again and basically giving him another full game.
Fabregas, again I see people prattle on about Fabregas being allowed further upfield in a 4-3-3, yet again for the majority of the first half he was DEEPER than Diaby and Song very often aswell.
West Ham are actually quite good, but Cole/Franco have no partnership yet, they didn't play as a team till the changes, Diamante, Hines, Cole play excellently with each other and when they were all on the team changed and they dominated. They are in trouble because they are dropping points they shouldn't but have players back from injury who need match fitness and new players who need to gel together better. Cole, is damn awesome, and shows time and time again he uses his strength brilliantly aswell as being very strong, 50 times the player Heskey is.
As for Liverpool, they didn't play well, Utd were awful and Fergie made awful sub's. Scholes was the only one across the midfield chasing the ball and putting in tackles, bar one mistake he was pretty decent. LIkewise Berbatov's touch was mostly impecible and he was involved in any decent chance for Utd(few as they were). Rooney got maybe 3 passes right the entire game, Berb's needs a Owen type infront of him, and Rooney isn't that player. Valencia was poor, Giggs was terrible, Carrick was completely and utterly useless, made no effort at all to track runs into the box, lazy, no pressuring the other team, passing was woeful, did nothing right at all.
You know Utd were poor when Nani comes on and outshines everyone on the pitch. Two key games, two teams let down by attrocious managerial decisions.

At least he was making an attempt to score, which is a **** load more than most of our team were trying to do.
