New hairstyles: Ekotto and jo..God bless em.Apprently lost a bet with Fellaini so here they are
It was a night everyone was waiting for and as expected it finally came. greame Souness once said "nothing is guranteed in football either than disappointment". United felt the pinch of the mans words this weekend
Over the years the undoubted stars of all United-Pool derbies were defenders. Carragher,Hypia,Brown and now once again Vidic.They star for all the wrong reasons. Be it own goals(Brown,Carra) or red cards(Hypia,Vida). Once again Vidic took the headlines for all the wrong reasons.
At Old trafford,the mighty manchester United humbled by the ruthless Liverpool. United's penalty was debateable. Was Park going anywhere when he was challanged illegally be Reina? I thought no. Referee thought so..1-0 and everyone thought oh well here they go again..Not quite.
Vidic,Evra and Ferdinand and even van der Sar looked a far cry from their usual selves. Evra,Carrick,Rooney,Vidic,Ferdinand and Ronaldo pulled in lethargic performance.Anderson was under par and the only bright spots for United were Tevez and till the final minutes John o'Shea.For Liverpool, noone excelled as well but Torres was sharp as a knife. piercing a dagger into Rio and Vida time and time again though it was Gerrard who finally killed Vidic off.Pool's penalty was spot on.Evra mistimed.Aurelio's freekick showed why Benitez signed him. Exquisite and taking advantage of shellshocked United.Dossena's goal was salt i the wounds for United.4-1.FT. game set match and well deserved for Liverpool.No 2 ways about that. i always say that class prevails and United lacked it. Liverpool stood firm. Hypia was Brilliant in defence,Torres took his chances well as a good striker should,mascherano stayed on the pitch,there was no way United were coming back.
Final stats United 17 shots on goal,55% possesion. Liverpool 9 shots on goal, 45% possesion.United taught a footballing lesson. All these could say was arrogance.
Samba football had a mixed day for if it wasnt for Aurelio, Brazilians Anderson and Lucas were horrendous. Mascherano covering for Lucas time and time again while Anderson making Carrick play god by leaving him alone oh so often. Benitez's tactics were spot on and Liverpool's 5 man midfield raped Carrick.Gerrard and Mascherano playing pivotal roles.Excuses can be given by Pool too they also had a midweek match and sure they had no FA cup commitments but great teams do not make such excuses. Why not play Fletcher,Nani,Evans etc.. when they were fresher. Sorry Fergie this was your bad. benitez outdid you.
Chelsea recorded a 1-0 win in the cash fight. Essien is one of the players in the world that have deserved recognition but never got it. He is awesome. Mourinho even texted him at Inter saying he would love him there and I can see why. He is class and probably the best centre midfielder in England right now on his day.Time and time again he has shown versatility and his class reaks on how he got his national team to the world cup and gave them his all.
Tottenham edged Aston Villa 2-1. What's wrong with Villa? I got the answer. Emile Heskey.Ever since his arrival wins have been scarce.Goals Scarcer and Agbonlahor firing blanks. He does not seem to have that pace that Carew has early season to help Gabby get goals and is often seen in no man's land. Is he a flop? I shudder to think so. I say he needs time. Villa just have to be patient.Carew will have to play more though if they want to be in the champions league next season because he derserves a place in the line up and he scores important goals. Tottenham,take nothing away from them, showing signs of class. Bent may get criticised but unlike some other strikers,the boy gets goals.Woodgate had a good game.King was a rock as usual. But the last few minutes once again showed that time wasting maybe a thing of the past. A freekick for taking the ball in the corner? The FA must explain soon.Overall the best thing of the day were the goals and Benoit's new hairstyle.he n Felliani apparantly had hair transplants.
Notable mentions go also to the brilliant Andrei Arshavin.Player of the weekend in my book.Beautiful 2nd goal(If you are giving him the 1st).Arsenal raped Blackburn to put their allardyce curse further away.Play of the day goes to fellaini for changing his hairstyle.Jo takes over.FINALLY!And God bless Newcastle who are in trouble!
