I must admit this victory felt very very good... as good as when we beat them 4-1 and when we beat Real Madrid 4-0 and as exciting as how our depleted squad back in 2005 managed to beat Arsenal, then still famous for their invicinble season.
I must say in defence, the introduction of Agger steadied our boat somewhat. Agger even though rusty seemed to be more confident and stable than Skrtl. He was good in the air. I hope Rafa continues to play him instead of Skrtl.
And somewhat surprising, Aurelio had a decent game as a left winger. On the right, the interchanging of Kuyt and Yossi worked surprisingly.
In the middle. Lucas worked his

off. I'm his biggest critique but he done well in this game. He stopped a number of the opponent's move by literally throwing his body in the way. Having said that he is still not Liverpool quality and his partnership with Mascherano won't work in the long run. But in this one of the biggest games of our season, credit where credit is due, he did extremely well. Had a nice assist in the end even though he should've done much better with his pass to Kuyt in an earlier incident when him, Kuyt and Torres were on the break.
Dirk Kuyt as usual worked his socks off but lacked the final quality pass that benayoun had. But he was the reason why Carrick was non-existent pressuring their defenders and midfielders till no end.
Reina had a decent game, was never really challenged but did very well and was steady with his hands when called upon.
MOTM to me was Torres. I'm never tired of saying this. What a player! he wasn't even 100% fit. If it wasn't for his individual goal the game looked like it was gonna end in a draw or we might have actually lost to a typical Man U goal.
