Though it's a bit late posting this (as I was lazy as always) Liverpool won Man Utd,
its a proud day!
I admit that the level of liverpool has dropped in the recent decade and I have feared for its place in the epl ever since the start of this season. It was pretty bad in the transfer market and 20mil robbie keane doesn't seem to be able to do do anything yet. However, I looked at the way Riera played on his debut, it does seem that we got ourselves a bargain. Though some of his decisions in the match wasn't really good lke trying to take on too many defenders at once or shooting at the keeper when he could have passed. But he has showed to have a rather decent dribbling touch and might prove to be rather creative, so yeah I hope he will get better after settling down in Anfield :).
The victory against Man Utd may not seem to be so significant in the long run but I think the players will gain a lot of confidence from it and it does proves in a way that we have not yet dropped so far in a level that will be owned by every other Big Four. To be honest I was actually expecting a lost in the beginning since both Torres and Gerrard were unfit for the game, so I was really surprised and happy when I watched Babel slot in the winner. Even though Man Utd fans might say that they are without best player Cristiano Ronaldo, but come on, are you trying to tell me that Cristiano Ronaldo > both Steven Gerrard and Fernando Torres put together? I don't think so and it's not like Cristiano Ronaldo thrives in big matches like this one.
So best of luck Liverpool, my favourite football team!
