Moyes... he's struggling to settle in, he doesn't want to lose more than anything it seems at the minute, half the way through the season I expect more from him and to try new things, he seems worried to go away from the norm, most of his games have been pretty much the same starters and formation from what I remember (not much so may be wrong). Also his Anfield jinx is a twat.
Jones just doesn't cut it at RB, he's not great defending there, and offers nothing going forward, we massively improved as soon as Valencia came on.
Rio made a mistake on the corner, but he did well the rest of the match, as did Vidic and Evra. Nothingo say really.
Valencia should start at RB if we're not going to give Fabio a chance till Rafael is back.
Ashley Young against decent opposition just doesn't work, he can't handle the pressure on him imo, he's alright against mid table sides though (yeah I know Liverpool belong mid table but they have that big team reputation). Cost us the game, really pissed off with him atm. Kneejerk reaction I know.
Giggs - Cleverley - Carrick, all three had poor games today, Giggs was playing on the right? Worst decision ever tbh, he offered nothing for 95% of the game, Cleverley only once showed a bit of passion (when Liverpool didn't kick the ball out when someone was down). Carrick just wasn't firing today, had an off day, but Liverpool did well pressuring him.
RVP was isolated today which made him invisible pretty much, nothing was getting to him till we introduced Nani, and then Hernandez, once we had those 2, we created more chances, and our play looked much better, both looked rusty, but that'll be gone in a week or 2 hopefully (Do they have internationals?).
All in all, it was a bit of a shit performance from us, we didn't play to win 50/50's for the first 60 minutes, Liverpool were fired up and first to every ball. We looked lethargic for some reason.
It's not the end of the world, we'll recover. Don't know why Kagawa wasn't played, but there must be a reason. We've just got to remember not to jump the gun and moan about Moyes. Remember, Fergie didn't have the greatest start. If Rooney was fit it would have been a whole different game, but without him starting today, there was no real link between midfield and attack. Was a poor selection from Moyes, but he will learn. I'd say give Anderson a chance over Cleverley.
Welbeck, nearly forgot about him, he didn't appear much to me, did a few things, got more frustrated than anything else.
Not overly happy today, not overly depressed (well apart from international break ffs).
