Manchester United 2 Liverpool 1

Another solid win. Abit edgy and nervous near the end, but still good to be 10pts clear at the top.

1. Let's start with DDG. Was safe up until Daniel Sturridge scored. Can't really fault him for that. Was more of the rest of his defence caught sleeping and ball watching. He couldn't have been expected to catch Gerrard's initial shot.

2. Suddenly Rio and Vidic are back! Still a very solid defensive pairing after all these years. Hopefully they can keep this up. Think both have only got a couple of years left at this level. Reading of the game is still superb.

3. Rafael was good as usual. Still alot of bite, but he was the chief culprit for Sturridge's goal because he didn't help cover at all. Still a good performance anyway with his tenacious running.

4. Evra was a monster. I think Vidic got the last touch to the 2nd goal, but Evra definitely should be credited for it. That would make it his 5th goal for us this season. Defensively maybe a little slower than few years ago but still the best we got.

5. In the middle we had Carrick and Cleverly. This is probably our best midfield pairing this season. The only exception is that Carrick started to tire near the end and Cleverly followed suit by turning into a headless chicken. It is the primary reason the team started to look really nervous at the end.

6. Kagawa was back! While I know he played the last couple of games already, today he really showed alot of good movement and stronger physique. Hopefully this will bring even better things to come.

7. We had Young starting in the far wing but he wasn't effective. Then Tony V came on and played abit erratically as well. He's strong as an ox but doesn't use his strength enough. Plus he seems to be quite muddle headed at times, not knowing when to commit to challenges.

8. Welbz started again. I really like the boy, but he's really got to start scoring man. Else's he's not going to survive in the team for long. Hernandez would be the ideal backup for sure.

9. RVP. What more can I say? Still the best in the business. Really glad we've got him man. This guy is a poacher's poacher. How many times has he saved our skin already? Should've had a hat-trick today.

10. 10pts clear at the top (City playing Arsenal now) with 16 games to go. Hopefully we continue our march to #20.

GGMU!!!
