We were pretty poor in the first half. Too pedestrian and didn't push forward. Lot better in the second, think we played well in spells with good passing/movement from Cole, SG and Meireles. SG was my MOTM, captains performance, took the goals well.
Lots to say about lots of players today but the main contrast was between the two strikers. Berbatov played his best game for Utd, ever, bar none. Took his goals excellently, and the overhead kick was ridiculous. Torres had a poor game, bit uncommitted for me in some challenges and was almost a passenger. And schoolboy mistake standing behind Berbatov for the first. Considering this, maybe we did OK to almost get a draw. Even though I thought at 2-2 Utd looked for the taking, bringing Agger on was a mistake, sent out the wrong message - was Konch injured?
Not impressed with Roy's tactics so far. Too conservative. Maybe he's still in Fulham mode - but we're LFC and we have some good attacking players - so let's play to our strengths and ATTACK teams. Today we played best after going 2 down, we we HAD to go forward.
Still, think Meireles will get better (he tired at the end, let guys past to easily) and Cole also needs more games. Not too worried about the place in the table - at the moment at least! - think we'll start climbing once we get a few home wins. Still very early days.
