That only left Carrick so we never had the ball all night.

This is the squad that won the league though, so squad selection cannot be blamed, united were poor, no leadership on the pitch at all.
At the end of the day its the managers job to pick the team and get the best out of them, last night they were found out.

Look at the final tables for last season then compare them with this season.
What you will see is that although no premier league title was won, united did not improve, Liverpool did, the figures do not lie.
On a programme on sky sports the other week they had two guys from United on, guys who work in the background at United, and they said that Ferguson has already warned the players that if they think that this season was hard they had better roll their sleeves up.
Giggs is on the way out, Scholes is on his way out, Ronaldo does not know where he wants to be, Tevez has apparently gone Awol, with the loss of the huge revenue that last nights game could have brought with a win hard times are on the horizon.
Liverpool can only improve, Fact.
