Its not a reserve team but something I alluded to after the game we were full strenght (as in best available 11) they weren't.
We certainly should have beaten them, but the problem is our full strength team are not full strength.
Suarez was clearly not match fit. He was slow to every ball, and beaten in every race.
Sturridge is not match fit. Since his injury that made him unavailable for England a few weeks ago, he's not been on form.
Moses is not match fit. He's clearly not at the right level of fitness yet and becomes tired.
Then there's Gerrard off his game, Coutinho out, Johnson out, Agger out.. but that's another story
In all, the team will start to perform much better as the fitness levels improve, but against Utd, it wasn't enough. We never really looked like scoring.
As a side point, I haven't watched the replays, but I was sure Utd should not have had the corner they scored from. Wasn't it a foul on Toure?
