Unless you are united.

So did the rags just catch them cold? Because they looked as bad as any team ive seen in a long while only a couple of weeks back.

Fair point. Everyone seems to bend over for the rags. Still at their best Swansea look a very good side. Liverpool looked really ordinary in the second half.

They weren't even fit v Utd. Legs had gone in about 30 mins & defensively shocking, but that was there tonight, they just got lucky with a couple of passes to Sturridge which didn't quite make it. Which brings me to Liverpool: ran themselves out 1st half like a lower league team in a cup competition. Not sure they have got the legs to play like Rodgers wants.

Not sure about the not fit bit Ted.It was just that utd scored 20 goals in quick succession after being under the cosh for most of that half. Being 2 goals down or up obviously makes such a difference to the way a team plays and whilst utd were no way 4.1 better they won at a canter because their strikers did their job very well.

Without getting into it too much, I thought that was a cracking game that was made with the starting of Shelvey. That;s what you want to see when it's no your team.

He makes some bad decisions, I haven't worked out whether he's a bit thick or not. He has a good work rate, doesn't go missing from the matches I've seen him play, can see decent passing opportunities some of the time and isn't afraid to shoot. Without the poor decision making he could be one of England's better players.

I like him as a player and probably agree but he's just hit the shit-bricks with that interview.

Wow. Moyes finally decides to play Kagawa. If this match was in Germany id pick Bayer but at OT it'll be tough.

It was absolutely terrible that Weiss never learned how to play football. Somebody should have sorted him out.

Apart from being a bit lightweight, he had just about everything else in spades but seemingly no idea whatsoever how to use it.

He should have come through from that youth side, along with Micah, but typically in this country, the coaching fails completely & only the big/strong/fast lad gets through.

I wonder if Wigan set te tecord today for having the most players start whose last names are "Mc_______". Their 4 players with last names like that are incredibly eerie
