United post match

If we play anything like that for the rest of the season we'll fly up that league.

How can he get away with this, he has to be banned from refing scum games.

On the back foot from the off thanks to the mancs stoolpigeon, webb.
Kenny has a lot to take from this, in particular the performances of Kelly and Lucas. I can see there being a massive improvement overall in the team over the next few weeks even without bringing anyone new in.

[jono]

10 men for most of the match, with it being our talisman Gerrard that was sent off. A dodgy penalty decision against us and we still only lost it by a goal at OT. All things considered we did well.

This team lost to Blackburn and Blackpool not to long ago so this is one massive improvement. Football is going to be good to watch again.

[lancinleeds]

Happy with that overall. Some nice play, lots of fight, a moral clean sheet. No gerrard for three games, but mayb that's not too bad a thing. Kelly was boss. All of the back four were decent. Torres was dire, but as I said, happy with that.

[JohnDoe]

Much much better. Football matters again.

Football doesn't matter because it's rigged.

[little dave hedgehog]

relatively happy with that. 1st yanks gone, hodgo gone. just need to turn over a bit of playing staff now, but we're definitely getting there.

[Drago]

You know what, I'm ****ing delighted by that performance. There is no doubt in my mind if that match played out like that last week we would have crumbled to a bad hiding. Despite playing 12 men we looked the better side for large periods.

Much better pressing and a higher line up the pitch. If some of those players can keep consistent performances like that (skrtel, Kelly) and keep fit (Aurellio, Agger) then the first 11 starts to look a lot brighter.

Kelly should keep the jersey for the next game. He put in a MOTM performance for me today and doesn't deserve to be dropped after that. The only big disappointment (other then the obvious result) will be the impending suspension for Gerrard.

My love for the game is back.

Whatever, it's only the cup. What a positive display, everyone just playing that much more relaxed and confident, great to see the effect of Kenny's presence. Can't wait for Wednesday, and Kenny having had a few days to settle in and do some training with the lads.

Unlucky about Gerrard, but that's just the way the cookie crumbles all the time at OT, it's a ****e stadium full of ****e cunts and I'm glad it's over. Thank **** we've got Kenny in, it's only upwards from here. You can see the players are enjoying themselves.

[rudedog]

Great performance from the lads - despite the decisions going against them they never let their heads drop.

Ha ha - Ryan Giggs - "the early goal and the sending off helped us"

no **** sherlock

[The Erectile Banana]

Very encouraged by that.

We were undone by a dodgy penalty decision and a moment of stupidity from our captain. We looked very comfortable for long stretches with 10 men. Kelly was immense.

Torres remains a worry. Gave us no outlet to relieve the pressure. He was slow to react, second to everything, and knocked off the ball too easily.

Merieles also showed a worrying lack of bottle for the fight, but may have just had an off day.

Plenty of reasons for optimism though.

[Mattshark]

Webb wins it for them. Bravo.

He is a horrible advert for baldies isn't he.

[The Erectile Banana]

Chiles - 'There's a bit of the Gillian McKeith in the way he (Berbatov) fell over there.

[Roboklopp]

FT 1-0 Webb. Good display and did well for
12 vs 10.
