i think we started with 4-4-2. Giggs and Nani on the flank. Liverpool also playing 4-4-2 but Maxi and Meireles kept on drifting inside which packed their midfield.
they have CL spot to grab. CL spot is important to them not only to preserve their stature as one of the europe elite but also to earn extra income and attract big name signings. Plus it is to salvage their season.
We played poorly. no doubt about that. Liverpool forwards constantly pressing our midfielders and defenders which limit the space and start putting pressure which led our players to lose their composure on the ball. Carrick's main job was to track down Meireles but Liverpool got their tactics right. By putting Meireles on the flank, it takes off Carrick attention on him which enable Meireles to snuck into the middle and find spaces. our midfield and defence often caught up with leaving so much spaces for Meireles and Maxi with hardly anyone check back to track them. Our team really miss someone influential to drive the team forward. as if no voice to drove the team spirit to keep on fighting.
Fletcher should have started the game. SAF should have packed the midfield in order to enable Scholes to dictate the pace of the game. He barely have enough space and time to execute any decisive passes as he was too busy trying to pick up teammates.
SAF got his tactics wrong, usually he sticks to 4-5-1 for big games and he should have continued.they have CL spot to grab.

Fletcher to intercept, chicarito alone. Berba on bench, rooney on left.
There will obviously be a hole when u're missing the best cb pairing in the premeir league and possibly the world, why make it more open? Who did suarez run circles around?
Well, liverpool played better.
The good we can take out of this, chicarito scored and he will improve, represents hope. Nani, i'm trying to keep the verdict open on him but i really hate his brat like and selfish attitude. Hopefully we'll spend on replacing scholes and giggs. Bastien and Sneijder would represent a real boost. Then in games like this when valencia is out and Nani bratful we can play a real nice winger to provide a wider attacking outlet.
If we are deserving of the league we need to pick mentally and come back stronger.
