    Have to say I still don't understand why Man U let Hernandez go.
    His first goal was a topper.

    I was amused watching Ossie Ardilles summarising the game at the end.
    Looked and sounded like his Spitting Image puppet, I couldn't understand a word. :p

    Hahahaha

    Ah well, lets see how Hendo does for the dippers, going to watch their second half.
    Did Borini start?

    I don't think any of them started to be honest and they were 2 down early on, pulled one back but look like they will struggle to match last seasons placing. Borini looked gutted when he was substituted :emoticon-0106-cryin. The result did us no favours though, but we must sort our selves out and not rely on others in this league.

    Agree with all of the above, especially the not relying on others.
    Gus needs to get the attacking sorted sharpish.
    The possession statistics will probably show us with more possession, yet it was nearly all negative possession at the back.

    As for Liverpool like I say only watched the second half.
    But it looks like their manager is trying to fit players in at the expense of others.
    Sterling looked like he was playing as a right back!!
    They weren't getting the ball to Ballottelli even though he was making himself available.
    He showed what he could do under pressure when he controlled that awkward ball that led to Liverpools goal.
    Quinny continually raved about Lallana who as far as I saw failed to pass the ball meaningfully once.
