Ghastly display at Anfield

Well I’ve put this off the entire day, not wanting to think about the ghastly performance the red’s put on today in Liverpool.  Walking back and forth passed my computer all day not wanting to sit down and have to relive the match.

All I can really say is that I am without words.  I mean the squad as a whole played like absolute rubbish.  Of particular poor play was that of Evra, Berbatov, Ferdinand, and as always Nani (well thats probably just because I’m biased toward Nani).

Berbatov and Evra really pushed my buttons today.  Nothing angers me more than losing the ball and not hustling back to try and win it back.  One instance in particular stands out in my mind when Evra lost the ball deep in his own half, then was literally jogging back to recover as Liverpool headed toward goal.  Evra seriously lucked out on that; if Liverpool would have scored there, he would have never lived it down.

I thought for sure with the return of Giggs and Rooney combined with the absence of Gerrard would surely see United prevail at Anfield.  This game was definitely not one to be remembered – especially seeing that Chelsea pulls ahead by 2 points in the table.  Bollocks…
