well well well.
that was a turn up for the books, and i'm both delighted and a smidgen shocked.
Liverpool outfought and outplayed utd all over the pitch, and it was refreshing to see. utd can have no complaints, and from my brief scouring of this thread so far, i have to say, there have been few.
again, refreshing to see.
Lucas needs a special mention. how he remained unbooked is beyond me. honestly. but he was a credit to himself and the club. to get the amount of stick he gets, and to turn up for big game after big game and give performances deserves praise. there are often time he doesn't show up in the not-so-big ones, but today, he was easily the best midfielder on the pitch. he tackled, hassled, passed sensibly (even forwards sometimes!!), and linked with Benayoun and Torres effectively. should have also had a goal.
how masch or Carra stayed on the field, due to consistent fouling is, again beyond me. both were immense regardless.
Torres' influence cannot be underestimated, especially in today's game. the amount of fouls he drew, the amount of balls he won in the air, the amount of balls he held up, the fearlessness with which he sought to run at Utd was absolutely central to today. he didn't give them a moment's rest. and his goal oozed quality. the man is a living legend.
benayoun, once again, was outstanding too. such an awesomely natural footballer. he makes Gerrard not as essential as Torres. that's testament enough.
n'gog disappeared a bit when he came on, but he took his goal admirably well. he must have been sh*tting himself in anticipation.
aurelio's importance to the team also shouldn't be lost on anyone. his expertise at the dead ball, and his genuine quality on the ball are invaluable, especially in games like this.
the ref had a shocker. Vidic's persistent fouling could also have been brought into question. and yes, Torres seems to have managed to put the frighteners into him after last season. unreal how vidic seems so hesitant to back himself anymore, and more and more resorts to fouls. he's better than that.
fergie must take a lot of the blame for the toothlessness of the Utd performance. i thought, pre-kickoff, that Anderson has to be an automatic start; for his energy if nothing else. i'll be honest, once i saw scholes and carrick was the CM partnership i relaxed a bit. though they can obviously play a bit, i just assumed they'd be hassled out of it, and so it proved.
Masch and Lucas must take a lot of credit for that too obviously.
Rooney and Berba showed some neat touches, especially at the end of the first half, but in the second half it just petered out. Carra and Agger had them pocketed, and it was refreshing to see glimpses of their partnership's form of a couple of seasons ago. skrtel may struggle to get back in the team. (don't you dare play the 3 of them Rafa!).
regarding all the furore about Liverpool, i will say this;
this result and performance only papers over cracks that were all too obvious before this game, and well documented.
we need to kick on; because there is still something wrong in terms of how we use the ball (not really seen today), and in terms of back up for Torres. if Torres doesn't play, we simply do not have, as promising as N'Gog has looked, someone who can do what he does. and the way he plays is vital to how we relieve pressure and get at teams.
Lucas also needs to continuously show the bravery, tenacity, simplicity and incisiveness of today in order to supplement the arrival of Aquilani in the team.
let's revel in this victory, as it was a welcome result and performance, but let's not let Rafa and the team off the hook long-term yet. there is still a long way to go for me.
that being said....
