On a side note, really don't like our black top.

His weight was over the other side of his body so he couldn't get any strength behind the tackle but he played the ball. Raul left us horribly open due to a blind pass.

true. dont agree about raul. Torres does these shit lay offs where he does not think what the player is doing and going.

i'd take a draw!
one step at a time..
but this game is there for the taking. need to step up a little. Definate improvement in passing. Just a little sloppy by some players..

Improvement. First game in charge really to do some bare minimal stuff and Kenny has changed the playing style and so far doing great. Thinking back to how we played away before this -- this is like a 20yr aged scotch. Hodgson was like a 20 yr refrigerated bottle of opened beer.  :)

Yes there would, but if Roy had picked this team .

we'd have been 3 down........ :D
13mins - Bournemouth have gone home. Utd kicked off anyway. Still 0-0 as Smalling passes it back to De Gea.

A better performance from Poulsen, but he is slow as hell and offers nothing going forward at the best of times.

We've been treated by talent like Alonso, Hamann and Mascherano in recent years and this guy is nowhere near that. And we couldn't have expected that from him, to be fair.

I was expecting a tough tackling terrier that steams into tackles and gets regular dismissals for his overly keen nature.

But he's proved nothing of the sort. He's the slowest player we've had, perhaps with the exception of Henchoz and Hyypia, and he is a fairly terrible passer of the ball to boot.

I would rather give Shelvey opportunities.

Started off well and good to see us pressing and attempting to pass the ball on the floor. Energy has been good also.

However, the lack of quality in our attackers is clearly showing in and around the box and once again, our wingers are letting us down. They haven't been a threat at all.

Agree with this. Johnson and Kelly have been guilty at times too when attacking.

I thought Jovanovic has been pretty good.

Kuyt and his touch have been the let down for me thus far.

Good solid shift from Poulsen so far. Surprised to read some criticism for him on here. He's done a job.

Meireles and Jovanovic have been very poor.

Started the half well, 15 mins looked dangerous. Players running beyond the ball with the whole midfield pushing up in attack (minus Poulsen as he's the DM). Torres goal was great, Kelly with the assist?

Their goal shook us, doubts crept in again and we sat back a bit more. Not as many pushing forward.

Poulsen looking better than he has, but better than shite is still crap. Slow passing, slow movement, slow positioning which leads to fouls and passing backwards. Couple of balls to Torres have been ok, but still needs to improve a lot, an awful lot.

Johnson's looked a little nervous as a LB, not sure what the thinking is there.

Kuyt needs to find a first touch. God knows he's never had a good one, but it's getting worse.

Overall, not bad. Big improvement on previous away performances but that goes without saying. With a good team talk from Kenny, they'll kick on and score a couple more to make it an easy finish.

Poulsen is the scapegoat. Anybody watching the game will have noticed that he has been fairly decent , better than the likes of Kuyt and Raul.

I know it is rather obvious but the difference between a barca player and a liverpool player when they get in that pocket of space between the midfield and defence is just startling. Unless it is Gerrard you pretty much always know one of our attackers is going to waste possession with some sort of shocking attempt at a final ball to Torres.

i guesss thats why they're barcelona and we're not - i think we had better get used to not having players as good as them for some time yet >:(  :D

as someone mentioned above, we need someone to put their foot on the ball ion midfield - meireles, poulson, lucas are not good enough to be regulars in a top team imo
