never thought there would be more plusses than minuses from a defeat at Old Trafford.

 

Plusses.

 

Kelly.

Shelvey

Skrtel

Reina

Aurelio

Babel

Wrecked the ground

 

Minuses

We got beat

[Jimi Rojo]

There was a great moment with a possible quadruple save from Reina and everyone defending like their life depended on it. Finally.

Some really nice passing at times. Agger & Aurelio are a big part of this.

Kelly was superb! He was all over the place.

Their fans seemed to get more and more quiet/worried.

We didn't seem to miss Gerrard after he was sent off! 10 against 11 away at Old Trafford. That's the biggest plus of all. obviously the lads will be knackered but they put a shift in.

[RafaShanks]

One very slight minus for Kelly, who was our best player.

 

Needs to learn to smash the ball out to row Z on occasions.

 

Hopefully he'll get the run he deserves in our first team and Glen plays in front of him at RW.

I thought that as well.

 

The players need to realise that everything does not have to come through Stevie when he's playing.

[D.Boon]

Kelly was excellent, Meireles was rubbish, worst ive seen him in a red shirt. He doesnt like a tackle. Several times today he put us in trouble because of it.

he may have been wary after what happened with Gerrard. he doesnt normally shirk a tackle

[D.Boon]

He ducked out of a couple before the red. then another 2 or 3 after. Been noticeable before today. I dont think he likes the rough stuff. Dont expect him to be smashing into players but he cant be crying out of 50/50's, not in central midfield.

Don't think he was fully fit to be honest, Seem to be protecting his injured ankle alot when pulling out of the tackles.

Ain't that great!!

 

At last that ninny hasn't an influence or knock on effect!

[Zoob]

Pros:

 

Until we got tired in the last quarter of the game, there were very few aimless punts forward.

Kelly looked very comfortable. Pretty impressive given the surroundings and being down to 10 men

Our players looked inspired and as if they cared.

 

Cons

 

Howard Webb forgot to actually wear his United shirt, which meant people had to waste time with photoshop.

No United players were broken.

LOL, can I pinch that please ?

The relief is immense.

 

So excited about this month.

[New York Red]

I'm hopeful that Kenny can get the best out of Babel. He's got the raw talent. He'd be like a 15 million signing and if anyone is going to do it, it is Kenny.

[Nebraska Red]

how many times do we have to say this.

 

when he comes back from injuries we all hope he'll be like a new signing.

 

the lad is not good enough, he does not have the heart to play in the PL and he certainly doesn't have the brains. if we get a good offer, sell him.

[KD07]

Kelly was fantastic and I thought Agger looked classy at the back. Would love to see him and Skrtel together as a partnership.

[Damian_de]

Pressing the ball high up the pitch. Boss.

Passing the ball on the ground when in possession. I said to the Mrs it's only been 6 months but it feels like 6 years since we passed the ball rather than tried to get rid of it.

 

We didn't seem to miss Gerrard after he was sent off! 10 against 11 away at Old Trafford. That's the biggest plus of all. obviously the lads will be knackered but they put a shift in.

We well missed him. We had to stop pressing in their half and Carrick slowed the game right down for them.

I've noticed that myself before yesterday. Lucas and Meireles do seem to be on the same wavelength but Meireles will need to compete physically or we will be left with a pretty lightweight centre midfield and moving Gerrard back there will be hard to resist.

[magneto]

Kelly and Johnson as a right flank combo, needs to be tried.

[DanielS]

Raul backed out of the two footed lunge aimed at him just before Gerrard's red. Hard to blame him for that.

[nb]

Reina made more short passes and throws yesterday than the rest of the season so far combined.

[richwilks]

Plus's

 

Agger superb

Skrtel looking solid as well

Kelly excellent and real competition for Johnson

Konchesky nowhere near the squad and Aurelio played well

Shelvey was given game time over Poulsen

Dalglish responded to the situation i.e. positive subs

 

Negatives

 

s*** referee

Gerrard red card

Merieles s***ting out

[sangria]

Not a bad performance at home against a lesser team. Let's see how they play away from home against a strong team.

 

Or so it felt like. One of the RAWK commentators noted towards the end, he'd forgotten this was an away game, so different was the performance to Hodgson's way of playing.
