From a 'neural' point of view..I'd say Vidic...

Does it not frustrate you how much/ easily Torres goes down? He has got that Drogba element...we all know how good Torres is on his feet so why he feels the need to go down so often baffles me..gives the defenders an easy ride when he does that..not so easy when he stays on his feet.

[iThree in a row three in a row[/i

Thats whats football has become they feel a touch an they go down they all do it I wish he didnt as he can hold most defenders off hes that strong.

I thought it was ridiculous that the scousers whined about Drogba after the Chelsea-Liverpool game when Torres was throwing himself to the floor all game winning free kicks.

I think you're wrong when you say he makes it easy on defenders by going down. If he's winning the race for the ball then he'll stay on his feet. If he's losing the race he'll be going down and getting the free kick.

Its the way Drogba does it though even his own captain is embarrassed by the way he acts.

I don't think that Torres had a particularly good game and until his goal he hadn't caused any real distress to Nited's defence yet Redknapp asserted afterwards that he'd "terrorised" them which is utter balls....it's the sign of a top player/forward that he gets one chance and sticks it away though so fair do's to him for that.

Thing I don't like about Drogba is the aftermath of the dive. The rolling around until play is stopped, then suddenly he becomes the incredible hulk only moments later.

Spot on.

Vidic looks proper dodgy at the moment. Even with harmless balls forward he still seems hesitant. Time for Evans to get a few games I think.

Welcome to football.

Torres 'played the game', went down at the slightest touch a few times when there was nothing on, thus winning free kicks, came alive when the chance was there, and made rio look a mug, albeit down Vidic's channel.

Mariner wasn't biased, just weak, it was a 'homer' ref performance, the crowd (quite rightly) played their part.

Both centre backs look dodgy. I actually thought Vidic had a decent game, probably his best of the season. He cleared just about everything that came near him. On another day, in another ground he probably wouldn't have got his first yellow. I thought he dealt with the threat pretty easily.

You keep taking the 3 points and we'll keep taking the titles

I don't think so.

His red cards haven't come against Torres. Apart from Torres' goal at OT last season, Vidic hasn't had major problems against him, even then the goal didn't come from a threat from Torres as such, just Vidic's misreading of the high ball.

I felt Ferdinand could've been a bit stronger against Torres, and VDS should've covered his near post, either way, that takes everything away from the great ball that was put through for Torres. Superb pass.



His willy shrinks versus Liverpool, so he likes to get an early bath before the rest of the team laugh at him.



Either that or he and Mascherano are "close" friends.

One in a row would be nice for you ATM wouldn't it.

Macherano is starting a habit of being sent off against United now as well, hastn he been sent off 2 in 4 against United.

Liverpool beat us twice last year anyway and made not a differance to the destination of the title, no harm done, just a minor blip.

Scholes is not fast enough to compete in games against sides like Liverpool or Chelsea. That was made clear yesterday, Lucas owned him, which is frankly, embarrassing.

An attempted miracle ball is what we needed, Anderson has a spark about him, he'd have attempted to get a through ball for Rooney or Berbatov instead passing it sideways. I know he aint the best finisher in the world, but he would have had some shots and at least made Reina make a save. He's been class lately, he should've been given an opportunity.



No harm done! Are you joking?

Obviously winning the title is the most important thing, but two other things you want to happen in a season is to beat City and to beat the Scousers. Losing to them three times in a row is awful and gutting. The worst thing is that we don't even play well against them or show any gut and determination.

yes losing to Liverpool is an issue but the main issue is the league and as long as we win that then i couldnt really crae who we lose to, we have the last laugh cause we win the league, theres a long way to go and the premier league title can go to maybe 4 or maybe 5 places but if we win the league then i wouldnt be bothered if we lost to Liverpool.

i dont like losing to liverpool especially having a liverpool fan for a sister but i have hag gloating when they beat us last year twice but we won the league so i had the last laugh.

Scholes never had the chance to play, Lucas and Macherano didnt give Scholes or Carrick the room to play and Anderson wouldnt have been able to have dealt with them closing dow quickly either.

i still think that Scholes and Giggs are still the best we have in midfeild they might be 35 but Nani isnt in the same league as Giggs and Scholes is still one of the most accurate passes of the ball in the league.

I've never known a United fan to be not bothered when we've lost to them lot. Beating them is a big priority in the season.



Carrick was our best player, he was able to ship the ball around. The fact that Scholes couldn't get into the game is a sign that he aint quick enough for the big games, Anderson is a lot faster than both Carrick and Scholes, so would've been able to get the ball down, and get it shipped out, or get a through ball into the forwards before Lucas could get to him. Anderson would've also helped keep Benayoun quiet.



Giggs has had a good season, there's no doubt about that, but yesterday he was anonymous. He cannot play in the same side as Scholes. Scholes may well be a good passer of the ball, but he can only do that when he is given the time, and he can't get that against the top sides. Sadly, his best days are behind him. Giggs still has a lot to offer, but he cannot play every game. Nani hasn't done too badly this season, just some of his decision making at times has been wrong, but that will only improve over time.

If we were to name our strongest line up at the moment, Scholes would not be in it.

Where's the little Serb on the left disappeared to?

He got in the Premier League Team of the Year on the FIFA season I've just finished, and that was after only 4 sub appearances.



It doesn't look like his is going to play against Barnsley tomorrow night either, Fergie has said that Obertan is ready to make his senior debut on the left.

as long as we win the league ast the end of the season thats all i care about.

I blame Van Der sar more, how did he get on against them the previous season? 1-0 and 3-0? Swings and roundabouts Luke.

Someone should remind him then.

Only been two goals mate, not as if he terrorised them all game was it? Ill give him the game at OT, but Torres himself said he wasnt great on sunday, the goal had more to do with the great ball frm Benayoun and Van der sar not coming out, sometimes you have to applaud great play.
