Aftermath

Giggs practising his jumping , for the freekick perhaps?

So the much touted 'game of the season' ended a draw. A reported 221 countries tuned in to watch, which by itself lent weight to Liverpool's 'suggestion' on individually negotiating tv rights.

United came with one of the most negative ever line up to grace Anfield's green grass. This was mirrored by the home side - as expected, the 10 men combined midfield nullified each with very few chances in between. Seeing Rooney and Nani on the bench should have been the invitation for Liverpool to kill the game, but both sides played a cagey game, unwilling to loose.

The game only came alive once Adam was brought down. Contact was made, and Adam made the most of it. Up came Stevie G, and the great red United wall parted, helped by Giggs, whom we all know could jump quite a bit.

15 minutes to go , and a win's in the bag? Not on that day. The little pea super sub scored the equalizer while De Gea weathered the Anfield storm . 1 all, and United will count it a lucky day.

Postives for me were seeing Captain Marvel playing a full game - how Livepool have missed his drive and purpose. Henderson shone in his preferred advanced central role, while Kelly kept Young very very quiet.

The negative was the accusation versus Suarez. I hope this issue would resolve itself over time - Evra seem's a tad sensitive to that word, as he has made 3 previous accusations , all  of which was unproven.

I think it was 2 points dropped against United. Nonetheless, Liverpool is still 6 points ahead compared to last season. Next up is Norwich away, which is a must win. I will fancy Arsenal to drop points versus Stoke at the Emirates, while hopping Blackburn responds to their bottom of the table plight to stun Spurs.

Premier League Fantasy Football  was a meh week for me. 26.5 points as both my strikers misfired or was dropped for injury. Thankfully the likes of Terry, Larsson and Warnock scored to keep points respectable.

Elsewhere, British MPs did themselves proud by vowing to lift the veil of secrecy over Hillsborough. JFT96!
