I would have to agree with you despite Kuyt missing a clear chance and still hasnt leant how to control the ball

In fact, let's be totally honest about it: their whole team done sweet f*ck all. We made them look ordinary again, only this time we had that little bit of luck.

this is not a joke but all our good work today could be undone if Rafa rest some players for the Stoke game and we get a draw. we need to beat the small teams not draw with them.

absolutley fantastic- easily the better side for 70 mins plus..and even MORE important is the mentality we showed and the bottle. It has been missing for the last few games v the Mancs ..

I really believe we can push on from here so long as the squad keep their feet on the ground...4 down 34 to go...

Yeah im hoping Stevie and Torres start for us next week. But also we have a European game in midweek so I hope we win that too.

.. It was Kuyt's pass that led to Babel's goal  :)

When Dirk gets a chance, rather than trying to shoot he should just try and control it.

We showed that we can beat some of the best without those 2. With the addition of Riera (who will start most games I believe), our left side is sorted out.

Keane and Kuyt seem to work well together, Keane needs to get that first goal somehow.

I'm not too concerned if Torres doesn't start / isn't fit against Stoke.

If they draw today and we win next week that will be a good spring board considering Utd travel to Chelsea next week.
