okay, finally home:
1. suarez really has to learn to stop going back for 'seconds'
the ball fell kindly to him he took the ball inside completely beating (evans?) shoot! SHOOT!!
but no, opted to take another turn at which time the goalie had made himself big.
suarez actually did that in another game, turned the player twice but when I thought the chance had gone he scored near post.
2. carroll can feel a little hard done by
chin up andy, you've been improving steadily, don't let your head drop.
3. adam looks so much better in a CM three it's not even funny.
I thought he was excellent in this game and his runs from deep had manu all over the place.
rio should have gone for his challenge on adam and I think the controversy of the last sending off against liverpool played on the ref's mind.
4. henderson
there's something about this guy and I think we'll have a player if we can coach that latent talent out of him. that lob was excellent and showed good aweness, I don't even think he is looking at goal when he attempts it. should have buried the free header though.
5. I thought downing was pretty 'meh' during the early part of the game but finished the game like a train, the cross for henderson (and kuyt?) were excellent. can't blame him for our profligacy in front of goal.
6. gerrard looks like he has never been away but I hold my breath every time he goes down after a challenge. great goal.
7. sloppy goal, we seem to have gone back to man marking so ffs PICK UP YOUR MAN.
had manu had an attack of note until the goal? annoying in the extreme.
8. enrique
I think he is excellent, his control pace and strengh are superb. park and young didn't have a sniff despite both having a crack at him.
very annoying that manu came and got the point they were looking for, I was pleased we went for the win rather than settling for a point when manu equalised.
