The only rafa haters are wopdongs or short term. There are those who are doubting the talents of rafa in his fifth year at the club but a majority of us on here are not haters of rafa only dubious of our league challenge. There are realists and there are happy clappers. Many of us class ourselves as realists, see things for what they are, im guessing you are a happy clapper?

wrong... there are realists and there are whiners...

oh that waitress was fcuking hot. she has my number. hope she texts me

where did u watch ? Red cafe or what?
Got abused by man fans after 1st goal but i'm having the last laugh

We have been given a two-goal penalty, deducted three points (which have been given to Man Utd) and we will start the next match with only five players.

Well what can I say, fantastic performance and a result to match. I said that perhaps Gerrard and Torres' absence could work in our favour, confusing one or two, but it worked like a charm. It's about time their keeper was shown up for the liability he is, he was trying to push the ball away from goal. Some might say that was unlucky, but where he was trying to push it was poor keeping. And Babel pops up for the winner, so our main sources of goals were not pivotal and trying something different worked. Kuyt will doubtless get no credit for his good performance, having some good efforts on goal and then making the most of Mascherano's hard work, and Giggs' mistake, to set up the winner. Even in the jubilation of a rare win over the mancs I bet the Kuyt bashers will find some way of discrediting him. I see Keane is taking a leaf out of Kuyt's book and working hard, if only he could look like scoring too.

What was the difference today? For a change the sides weren't trying to negate each others' key players so the game was more open. The mancs had done to them what we normally get done to us, except our win wasn't down to luck. The one criticism I could lay at the feet of the players was the lack of anyone picking up Tevez for their goal, and by the way the sad winkers on BBC voted him MOTM.

BBC Sport Player Rater man of the match: Carlos Tevez on 7.51 (on 90 minutes).

Please note that you can still give the players marks out of 10 on BBC Sport's Player Rater after the match has finished.

I suppose they had to take something from the game, shame it wasn't three points or a creditible performance! 


So could this be a corner turned? I won't go into that question to deeply and take anything away from the win, but it was a first and I'm far happier seeing three wins and a draw than two wins and two draws, or even two wins, a draw and a defeat - especially having beat the Champions.

Don't rate yossi at all , along with arbeloa , i think agger should start next week against stoke as it will be a good game to let him regain his match fitness and return back to his best , try carragher out at right back


MOM: Till he went off , i'd have to go for riera , absolutely amazed by his display today , but overall not much to choose between masch and xabi who had a quiet game but played it simple and "scored" the first goal , would have liked it even more if he passed the ball quicker and joins up with the attacks like he does for spain instead of slowing it down for us . Best thing like i've said , we did not even have to use torres and we still managed to win , rest him for the midweek game if he's not a 100% yet , not worth rushing him back and seeing him suffer the same injury again. Keane to start firing on all cylinders soon , try the 4-5-1 with him upfront alone in midweek if torres is not ready .


Berbatov the new saha? Had 1 decent game for manu and now i''ve read he's injured his ligament or something .

well you and me have very different appraisals of the players from today mate. whilst yossi and arbeloa are certainly not the strongest members of the squad and can both be prone to the odd dodgy performance i remember thinking regularly how well they were playing today. i thought arbeloa was handling things really well, especially in the first half - his best game in a while.

i also think xabi had an outstanding game and well deserved the MOM he was awarded by sky. seeing him playing a little further forward and with a little space of time and he was hitting some of those beautiful passes and directing the midfield in a way we haven't seen for a couple of seasons. if i was benitez i'd be thinking hard about whether its a good idea to break up the mascherano/alonso partnership when gerrard is fully fit again.

Xabi definitely was MOM for me. He was instrumental in getting the attacks going, especially since Riera and Yossi maintained our width very effectively. Yossi was cutting inside too much in the first 20 minutes, but once he remained out wide - he started contributing. Riera has impressed against a very tough opponent - strong and skillful with a good left foot.

Xabi needs to keep doing this. We know he can keep it simple and maintain possession in our half, but we really tick when he connects with the others moving forward. He showed glimpses of his long passing game yesterday with several accurate passes out the wings enticing Yossi, Riera and Kuyt (who still wandered to the right on occasion) forward.

Can't blame Kuyt for the chances he missed. He took him and they were atleast on target. There's no better way to start regaining confidence once you are played in your favorite position after almost 2 years? He will deliver the goods there, just as long as Rafa does not use him as an option on the wings anymore.

I was pleasantly surprised with the Kuyt-Keane partnership. They did not *bump* into each other, the way that Keane-Torres have been.

Around the 70 min mark, just after Stevie was brought on, it appeared that Mancs would put us on the backfoot for the rest of the game and Stevie initially contributed to that with 2 dangerous turnovers. However, the response from our lads was amazing and they restricted that period to a few minutes before taking control of the game, yet again !

The big question now is this - will we remain just as motivated against the lesser teams that we have drawn with, in the past? I really do hope so.
