I'm very suprised nobody has really mentioned this yet...
But I thought Phil Jones had an awesome first half, completely marked Fellenni (spelling) out of the game. I was a little worried when he went off as there wouldn't be enough physical pressure on the Everton attack but we did seem to cope ok.
Was sooooooooo impressed with rafa and vidic the whole team really, it reminded me a barca's tactics when they lose the ball, huddle and harry in 2's and 3's to get the ball back... I can't remember the last time we've played like that!
But one think everyone needs to remember... IT'S DEFINITELY NOT OVER YET!!! Not by a long shot... But I want us to win it at the United Staduim! If results go our way... Hmmmm I can dream!!!
Phil Jones...

50P - League 3 player Jones or Fellaini???
Jones - I think he's massively suffered from being versatile, enthusiastic and bloody good for his age. He needs games and he needs a fixed position!
I was very very surprised to see his name on the team sheet with no carrick but he did his job very well... He is so much more mobile that carrick which helps the team move up the pitch and press!
Fellainni - Anyone who thinks he's a donkey is a total cabbage! A total beast of a player! Strong, good feet, quick, can see a pass... He'd walk into most prem league teams!

he's a good centreback
lacks the basic footballing skills to play midfield

I'm not saying Van Persies goals don't count, because if he wasn't there someone else would have scored them! A fact I think a lot of you on here forget!
But my player of the season is rafa... He's made quite a few goals this year, 2 against city, yesterday again Everton, and his all round play has been Neville'esk.

Rafael is having his best season.
So is Carrick
Trying to praise Jones is an exercise in naval gazing and hoping he's not as bad as 'neutrals' think he is.

Kaiser what do you mean? Who's saying he's poor, he's far from it.

He's a big, marauding lump of an athlete who barges his way around the pitch over hitting passes, going on runs to nowhere, and running people over.
He's a very solid CB for a prospect. But not much else. His usefulness is primarily down to a massive engine and strength rather than a footballing brain or technique.
So generally speaking, people mockingly call him Baresi and leave it at that.
It's comical that you paid 17 mil for him and a horrible waste of money.
But because you're top of the league (nowt to do with Baresi) you don't get a lot of LAB purely because you'll just counter with 'top of the leeegue'
Which is fair enough because that's how banter works.

Now that all you lot have got the pox out of your systems, this is a shame.
I was hoping SAF would rest Carrick against Everton and put Jones in CM to combat the threat of the hairy guy.

I doubt a Liverpool supporter is "neutral".
