Liverpool were hardworking and was willing to run and run...
Anfield would always be a difficult place for United but the
last few visits, United could match them for the physical play and
also had some luck... The big difference last night was...
United after taking the lead, decided to go into defensive mode but
in doing so, gave Pool more confidence to come at them.
Pool became better and better as the match progress
and United couldn't keep up with Pool's pressing game. Scholes
cannot cut it anymore at this level... His age make him a
liabitity in the midfield with the style Pool were playing...
Lost of Carrick made it worst as Giggs also cannot keep up
with the Pool players... The only person doing the running and
covering was Anderson which was not enough... Perhaps Fletcher
would have been a better choice than Scholes yesterday...
Now I feel United should only use Scholes and Giggs on lesser
sides and also at OT. Playing away matches and in such a hostile
crowd... They don't have the legs to keep running anymore...
Anyway, apart from the mistake from Vds and Giggs, the referee
played a big part too in this match... I personally thought that
United should had a penalty in the 2nd min for a Berbatov goal
bound shot which was block by a Pool defender's hand...
What are the odds of getting a penalty away from home + in the
2nd minute? 
Anyways, John Terry always makes this kinda blocks where he will
open his whole body up, normally the ball hits either his shoulder
or arms, so far dont recall foul given.
