"It is a hard one to take because I felt we were the better team," Ferguson said. Obviously this statement is exaxerated. the penalty was a severe blow to United. I knew that it would be difficult to win from then on. But my hopes grew when united were attacking liverpool after the break. the goal was just about to come. but alas, the wrong tactics of SAF to substitute 3 players at a same time caused us heavy defeat. SAF could not have known than Vidic would be sent off, but what i am saying is he should have substituted berbatov for tevez. a straight swap would have done the job but he choose to bring on the old guns. i just cant understand his facination with giggs and scholes, they are past already. this shenanigan of SAF cost us the match.
"That is not reflected on the scoreline and quite rightly, when you win 4-1 you get all the plaudits. I can't deny that. spot on I would say. Liverpool deserved the win. however liverpool shouldnot get cocky and think that manchester united are just going to roll over and hand over the premiership title to them or chelsea (I still see them as the main title rival sorry no_quiero).
