Benzema showed nice composure on the 3rd goal. Would have been nice to see Canales take the penalty kick especially in hindsight. I found it strange Adebayor took it before Alonso.

Too bad Ozil couldn't get that goal. Good showing.

Why I'm not surprised with Liverpool's 3-1 win:
1) Intense rivalry games always brings out the best regardless of form or record.
2) The match was at Anfield with a re-energized fan base after adding Suarez and Carroll. Plus Carroll's much anticipated debut.
3) Absence of Vidic and Ferdinand. You're not going to win many games in the Premiership with Wes Brown and Chris Smalling at CB. Although I'm high on Smalling's future, he did not perform well today much like the rest of the United squad.
Why United should worry:
1) This gives Chelsea new life with two games less played. Torres and Luiz should start hitting their stride with their new Chelsea teammates. I foresee a monumental win at Stamford Bridge against City next weekend. Something like a 1-0 result given Mancini's defensive tactics. I think this will be Torres' first EPL score.
2) Arsenal also has an outside chance to dethrone United at the top if their GK and CB hold up or step it up.

I can see Chelsea going on a good run, and they know how to close a season. But I can't accept them catching United.
Arsenal are certainly in the best position to win the league, but the Carling Cup final showed they can't kill teams off and take that next step. Their defence is a major issue.
With regards to the game, the form book is always thrown out the window when they play. Missing Vidic and Ferdinand was too big of a loss, United also just didn't show up which disappointed me. Smalling is good but he needs a guiding hand next to him to keep him in check and focused. He has been immense paired with Vida.

I know no one wants to hear this but we have conceded fewer goals than United this season.

we gonna be without our 2 cb's..
imo we should go with this.
--------------Valdes-------------
Dani-----Milito----Abidal------Adriano
---------------Sergio----------------
------Xavi------------Iniesta
Messi-----------------Pedro
------------Villa---------------
Milito was caught out of position a couple of times this weekend and Im worried about him playing in this important match cause he hasnt played in a minute.
could switch Sergio with Milito and have Mascherano start as the cdm but Mascherano plays so deep that im concerned thats gonna leave the middle open.
imo we should go with this.
