Mancs: Post Match

[little dave hedgehog]

Kagawa as well when he went in on Reina - absolutely no attempt to play the ball and went in back first. The cunt.

looked to me like he just misjudged the ball and ****ed up big style.

Well that **** up could have seriously hurt Reina - I don't see how he didn't get any sort of a card for dangerous play. Accidental, misjudged or whatever - it was incredibly dangerous.

[Captain Stu]

I don't see it as any worse than a well-timed but two-footed tackle - you get sent off for the danger element, not the intent or the actual contact if there is any. Let alone slamming your hip/back into someones head.

Seriously? Lets be honest here, Wisdom shoved him right into Pepe so it was hardly his fault. Lucky not to concede a pen there IMO.

[McDermotX]

Another thing from yesterday - Valencia: diving cunt isn't he.

yes he is. Should have been booked for jumping in on agger when he got 'injured'.

[yamiedo]

So Allen is on bad form. Big deal. Form is not what proves how good a footballer is, its how he can come back from that and I believe Allen will. Gerrard was on bad form too remember? Does that make him ****?

just watched it again and you're right. Never a pen, but there was sod all Kagawa could do.

Why cant we start every game in the way we finished off yesterday!? We have shown on numerous occasions that we are capable of playing that way when needed but it has often been too little to late! Why not just start of full steam ahead straight from the start!?
If i was Rodgers, i'd be telling my players to not respect /fear any team & just go for it for the whole 90+ minutes!

If Sturridge or Borini had crocked themselves would people be saying they should be eased in rather than starting?

Because Rodgers keeps picking the wrong team

[Carras_Shin_Pads]

Really think that game showed more than ever that we need some short of rock in midfield, really don't see Allen as a solution. Commentator summed it up yesterday when he said Allen can have a bad game for Swansea and get away with it - there's just no doing that now.

Sturridge looks like an arrogant ****er but hopefully will form a good partnership. Should of been straight into the goal and picked up the ball, not wagging that finger!

[Ams12]

Not literally saying with those players but yes sturridge & borini did have a positive impact when they came on. We have seen similar levels of performance without them also!

Was wondering why Skrtel and Agger where used in defensive walls during the game. Seemed strange to put your centre back in a wall, giving the would usually be your best defensive headers of a ball.

Agger first half was in a wall against a free on his side of the pitch and Skrtel second half for the free where we conceded the second.

[Neil Young]

Obviously because of their height. Perhaps someone has done an analysis showing that players usually shoot from free kicks these days and you're better off trying to block the shot with tall players than having them marking them someone and a wall full of hobbits like Allen and Suso.

I imagine some other team will notice it and cross instead of shooting for their tall players to get on the end of who will be marked by our hobbits.

At that point Est will implode under the weight of outrage.
