liverpool 0 manchester united 1.
i must say this is a very fair result. liverpool did not deserve to
go away with even a point today.
even until now, i still couldnt comprehend the reason behind why
dudek avoided that shot. apparently, there was no
player blocking his view and there was more than enough time for
him to anticipate rooney's attempt. he didnt even stretch his hands
for crying out loud!!
but that didnt got me completely disgusted. the overall team
performance did.
even against chelsea and arsenal, they put up with a decent
fight.
none of the players couldn string a proper pass among themselves
and even with 10 men down, manchester's players seem to play with
12 men. somehow or rather, it was always a manchester player near
every loose ball.
the starting lineup got me pondering as well, big time.
"never change the winning team" is a common quote that comes with a
reason.
carragher and hyypia were pretty dominating in front of dudek for
the past few games and i dont see why is there a need to throw in
pellegrino, who is less than 10 days old at anfield, to needlessly
fill one of the most crucial positions.
as much as i would like to see morientes in action, i find his team
mates having problem reading his style of playing and vice versa
just yet, which is more damaging than contributing.
it is like you're having a important business presentation tmrw and
you are installing windows ME over windows 98, just because its a
newer platform.
togther with fine performance from manchester united and liverpool
shooting themselves in their foot, the away team walk away with
three points deservingly.
