He generally played well, faded in the second half as his first touch started to desert him. Considering he's only been back training this week, 70 mins and a goal is good going. I reckon he'll get 20 in the league this year and set up over 10. Fantasy footy must-have, if I played it.


I fancy Suarez to top the goal scoring charts this season.

Why were Liverpool awarded a penalty for Suarez tripping himself up? Puzzling decision.

Yes, clearly.

Firstly, he charges down Richardson's attempted clearance with both elbows then has the audacity to somehow fall over a none existent tripwire after a minor nudge to his right shoulder. Tom Daley would be proud of that one Luis.

In the lead up to the Liverpool goal, he quite clearly doesn't attempt to contest the ball which leads to a free kick,from which he subsequently scores.

In the second half, he makes a cross that strikes Wes Brown, who is evidently trying to keep his arms close to his body and despite hitting the ball straight at Wes, bemoans the fact that he hasn't won a penalty.

If he had Barton on the back of his shirt, he'd be heading to the gallows first thing tomorrow.

I don't think I've ever read so much drivel in one post. Firstly, I suggest you watch the replay of the build up to the penalty again. Suarez does raise his elbows but the ball quite cleary hits his forehead.

Secondly, he was quite cleary touched by Richardson on his foot. There was contact so Luis went down as will any other good striker, I can't believe you're suggesting there was no contact with his legs.

I hope for your sake you're not a United fan, critisizing somebody for appealing for a penalty when you have the likes of Giggs, Rooney and Ferdinand in your team, none stop moaners. Of course he's going to appeal if the ball hits the arm. Yes it wasn't a penalty but of course you have to appeal especially when your team is in need of a goal.

Because Richardson stuck his foot out and Suarez went over it, aswell as there being contact around the shoulder. Should of been a red card aswell.

Hope that helps.

Looks like the same old routine for this season....United look mediocre for the majority of a match against a poor opponent, then snatch a little deserved winner late on.

I admire United's tenacity to play right until the end, but it doesn't say much for the standard of the Premier League, when an average team like United are the team to beat, season after season.






And so you aim towards the sky,
And you'll rise high today,
Fly away, Far away,
Far from pain....

It's a very strange situation. How can De Gea be that bad and them fail to notice it? Surely they scouted him? They mentioned on Sky at half time that he was the keeper most beaten from distance in the Spanish league. That's not a good stat and the two he's let in, to be frank I would have saved. Makes me wonder if his eyesight is what it should be, but again, you'd think they would have checked that.

He also looks frightfully skinny. He needs a good meal that boy.

Ashley Young on the other hand looks every bit the United player. He's slotted in so well it's hard to imagine him not playing for United. Brilliant today he was.

I don't know why De Gea's getting so much grief. Last year, we played United and VDS made a mockery of a Suarez free kick, gifting Kuyt a hat trick. Nobody questioned him, nobody panned him and no players tried to elbow him to 'unsettle' him.

De Gea's proven for Atletico that he's a good goalkeeper with huge potential. I only watched the second half of United's game today, but did anyone see some of the balls he was pinging around? Cross field diagonal passes onto the player's tiptoes. He struggled in the worthless shield and he should have done better with the goal conceded today, but it happens. I find it funny that little was said of Foster's error because he's English. He's an English media demigod.

As for that second half, a drawer seemed a fair result, United shown some good signs but didn't seem to create much. First weekend's almost over (technically is, but Citeh are still to play), us, Chelsea and Arsenal draw. Looking at our game, we've lots of positives to take, a few negatives to work on and a couple of players to sign.
