Well I'm on cloud 9 today - We owned Liverpool yesterday. The performance wasn't brilliant (Liverpool were pretty toothless) but it was exactly what was required. I have to admit I was pleased with DARREN FLETCHER's performance (yes I admit) Wayne still looks a bit off top form at the moment. The total polar opposite of Ryan Giggs, who terrified Liverpool.
Rio's goal was total class, beautiful control and unerring accuracy too, Scholes was impressive and joined the 500 club with style.
Though the point about Carrick was valid, he did look more aggressive than I've seen him, made a few good tackles too.
Also Peter Crouch and Steven Gerrard's respective assaults on United players weren't dealt with sufficiently - Gerrard should have got a yellow for his lunge on Scholes (I think) and Lurch should have walked for the challenge on Edwin.
Changing subject, I too am concerned about Guiseppe - I think he'd have played more at United than Newcastle so far, and I hope if we loan him out, it's to a more productive end in January.
Still, we're looking good - Top of UCL group and top of the league ... It's fun to be a red again!
