Best I've read on yesterday's game
A damning but true report in the Independent IMO:

Lets face facts here, United won for the 5th consecutive time at Castle Greyskull and yet again hardly broke sweat. Even more scary is they did so without their most influential player Mr Rooney ! United kicked off at 1.30PM , LFC around 2.25PM by which time the Mancs were coasting at 2-0 !
Allen and Lucas should NEVER be played together in the same team. Their practically clones which begs the question why spend £15 Million on a replacement for Lucas ?
Skirtel has been outstanding at times for us this season but he was found wanting yesterday and looked pedestrian at times.
Question ? How long are we going to have to wait for Downing to "come good" ? The occasional goal and decent cross is not a good return on £20 Million when he effectively replaced Kuyt (10M) and/or Rodriguez (FREE).
Its too early to evaluate Boroni but at £8 Million its another expensive punt !
Sturridge (another £12 Million) looks a player and I've always liked him and think he's a natural Number 9. Very impressive and looks a decent foil for Suarez. Sterling looks knackered and close to burnout so will probably be rested soon giving the opportunity for us all to have a better look at Borini. I hope we see some of the quality that BR saw in Borini at Swansea during his 9 game trial period there.
Look , I'm usually a glass half full kind of fan and maybe because it was the Manc s Im being a little more negative than I need to be but there you go. I am a paid up member of LFC and entitled to my say especially given the amount it costs me to attend games.
I've just paid £62 for an Arsenal Away ticket. After the comments on MOTD maybe the Gunners will throw a meal in with the seat !
