    It wasn't Suarez best game but Liverpool dominated United. The only united players that could take any credit were Rooney and de Gea. Sturridge penalty was doubtful in replay but Vidic made it easy for the ref to give at the time. Liverpool should have had another penalty after that one which wasn't given.

    Mata is a class player when surrounded by class players but that's not the situation he finds himself in at united. Mourhino got rid as Chelsea weren't the side they were and he was a luxury as he wouldn't defend. Good bit of business by Mourhino but Moyes has a white elephant on his hands unless he gets in more quality and someone to do the leg work around him.

    Tactically naive by Moyes.

    Good start to the double header so lets hope the next one is as entertaining

    I agree with most of that but I just dont get why you need to justify Sturridge's cheating? As though it was OK...

    Vidic was at fault but sturridge cheated.. when Young dived as a United fan I criticised him.. we have this strange view that foreigners or opposition players diving is cheating, english or our own and its OK..

    he simulated.. very very clear.

    The FA just need to bring in retrospective analysis.. that threat alone will cut this out..

    I'd drop Vidic now, we need to build for the future and allow Jones to get the experience.. that was silly regardless of sturridge's cheating, going away from goal, tight angle, wrong foot.. you'd bollock a 10 year old for making a challenge there..

    I think Vidic has lost a yard of pace, he was never quick - Torres used to murder him, but now any burst of pace and he's having to lunge in.. Italian football may suit him better, but he's too slow from the premier league.

    This was a huge 10 days for Moyes; Liverpool, Olympiakos and then City.. 3 bad results and I think he's gone. the players look shot. I'd want him to be given more time but its simply easier to change 1 manager than 11 players.

    I don't buy that the players are that bad, they have all been very good or top class up to this season.. Rooney, Janazuj, Mata, RVP, Wellbeck, Valencia, Young, Carrick and Feliani are all proven players.. you dont suddenly get this bad overnight.

    I agree Iain with the vidic tackle an him but 10 minutes later when he was clearly fouled again in the box the ref waved it away.
    Swings and roundabouts.

    Also that fullback should have gone for hand ball in the first half.

    They are no threat to anyone now and just looked less than average.

    Arsenal played badly and won. Not a great performance, but it bodes well to see the Arsenal battle through that one.

    If he carries on at this rate I would give him 30 seasons.
