Welp I thought we were going to smash them. We didn't. But the win is what matters.

Glory Glory Man United!

Considering that we literally gave them two goals, that was a pretty pathetic Liverpool performance.

This match was a microcosm of Carrick in charge.

Came out, controlled the match and get up. Make a change at HT (that I guess he had to?), come out completely out of sorts and give out 2 shambolic goals. Then the guy buried by Amorim who had been resurrected by Carrick scores the winner.

One of the things very evident is just how thin the squad is. They are not equipped to play in CL (and FA and Gummy Bear cup) next season. They need so much more depth.

Ok. Now they know the money they have for next season. Now they need to start early and spend wisely. Last year was a very good year with Cunha, Mbeuno and Sesko. Then the GK fix with Lammens which may have been the biggest add of all. I would take a repeat of that with 4 players that all contribute and were positive adds.

Freaking spurs are going to weasel out of this aren't they?

Villa getting dominated at home by this Spurs team should be a point deduction. They haven't even managed a shot on goal.

I have no idea how they've managed to (in spite of this performance) virtually lock up a top 5 spot and make it to the EL semis. They have been a below average team for 5 months.

We need to use the next 3 games well. Don't mail it in, but give minutes to some academy players or normal bench players. Mazraoui, Mount, Zirkzee- can we use them next year for the increased load of games or not? It needs to be intentional with how we start looking into 26-27.

I'd rather get West Ham's Fernandes more than anyone at Spurs. (I said way back in the winter I liked him even though we hadn't been linked to him then, but now there is plenty of paper talk, including a story a couple weeks ago that Bruno was pushing his name internally. They paid quite a bit for him so he won't be ultra-cheap even if they go down, but I do like him. We are also linked to their left back, Diouf, but I'm not sticking my own neck out on him.)

Anyway, I'm fine with Spurs staying up. I don't want any of their players too much.

Chelsea's loss leaves them in 9th with virtually no chance at making the CL (they can still do it if they manage to leap frog 3 teams in the final 3 games and Villa finish 5th while winning the EL). Reminded me that it's been about 4 months since United were the crisis club in the league. That's gotta be our longest spell since EtH's first season. Long may it last.

If there's anyone we want, Chelsea probably need to sell, but they seem to price their players so expensively, and then they just ship whatever they don't want but can't sell to Strasbourg. (Garnacho should start learning French now).
