actually if the ball falls to giggs in front of goal, high chance it wouldn't be converted. Giggs just doesn't have the killer instinct in front of goal, dun...

Fast forward in a few years time when Fergie retire finally.

I shudder to think will success continue after Fergie retired?

think back in the past when Man Utd won the european cup in 1968, Man Utd were relegated in 1974 or something.

Liverpool 2 much draws already la, 10 draws rite? if they can convert a few draws into wins, it will be quite many points and they are ahead of Man Utd now.

You can’t expect to win the title with 10 draws realistically speaking, unless all the other rivals for the title also draw as much.

knn if Liverpool won against sunderland , stoke , hull , boro etc lower teams ....the title already sealed up by March .

Poolman SG

it's still a mystery on why we could not beat the likes of Boro , Hull , Man City , Sttoke and Sunderland when we can beat Real Madrid , MU , Chelsea , Villa and so on .....

jgho83 SG

I would love it if we cant beat them.

Poolman SG

i guessed it not possible to play the kind of football we played against Arsenal or against Chelsea week in week out ....

It's a total contrast to see Liverpool style in just 3 months .

A style of playing slow controlling football , and a diff style of attacking all the way ..

Strategy i think .

marcteng SG

probably not a sign of championship material?

you need to win against bottom teams as well. not good to beat the top teams and then lose or draw against bottom teams.

well ...that could be one of Rafa's Sun-Zhi strategies ...........

Maybe he is thinking , we just do what we can to stay close to the top , and see how it goes ....

And by mid-march , like last month , when most teams are punctured already , then we burst all out !!!!

It works if u looked at how tight the title race is going to be .

Any MU hiccup , in just a matter of mis-concentrations seconds by MU defense , the title might just go the other way round .

Poolman SG

well , i am not surprise our FA Cup exit is one of his plot to remain focus on the other 2 titles .

He cannot just tell us that he want it out , he will lose his job .

But he can plot his ideas to the players , into the ball games , the approach and mentallity into the game .

marcteng SG

I dun think so.

Liverpool form was dipped in the January-Feb period wasn’t it.

Man Utd form started to dip in mid March – early April after that match against Inter away in the CL.

But now Man Utd is back to form again, although not playing as well as it could.

should plot earlier, like quarter final or earlier get knocked out. getting knocked out at semis, when there is like only one game left to juggle, AFTER everything else has been played? I don't think it is intentional lah

marcteng SG

if plotting, it would be based on the reserved playing, not the full team.

Man Utd lineup against Everton showed that Fergie is willing to sacrisfise the fa cup than CL and BPL title.

Man u always plays like that against the smaller teams. They like to build the attack slowly from the back these days.

When carrick came on, i was afraid that he would fade into oblivion but he scored the winner lol. Carrick's biggest fault is that he's not really able to stamp his authority.

I think anderson is beginning to find his form again. He's a brilliant player actually.....strong, can hold the ball, retain possession, has vision for defence splitting passes. He really needs more confidence.

his pass that lead to man utd's first goal was out of the world!

imo he is not lacking in confidence at all..i find him abit cocky and fearless actually lol. you can see him directing others on the pitch at times. and the way he takes penalties suggest that he is very confident of scoring. i thk the key is that he is back to full fitness... hopefully he can play a big part in our remaining games. btw he is one of my fave players at united hehe

marcteng SG

Anderson need to improve his shooting. He has still yet to score for Man Utd. If he improve on scoring, he can yet score a few crucial goals per season. I be happy if he can score 4-5 goals per season.

He will be the ultimate replacement for scholes in the long term.

omgukilledkenny SG

United's passing was quite poor throughout the match lei, other then the two passes that led to the goals of course.

Rooney was guilty of giving it away most. lucky got Fletcher to clean things up at the back. He's MoM for me.

marcteng SG

Haha last time so many pple curses and swear at Fletcher, now so many pple are praising him.

How times have changed. I also remember in 2005-2006, a lot of Man Utd fans have critised Fergie and said he is over the hill and should retire ane be replaced.

Crimsom SG

i feel man utd did okay this morning. although not at their best, at least i feel that it was their best performace in the last 5 or 6 games. they could have scored more, just that the finishing touch was not good enough.

rooney is less threatening in the 2nd half after he was shifted to the left flank. fletcher and anderson is playing v well.
