Weekend Review - 11 Feb 2012

Manchester United vs Liverpool


To the optimistic Man Utd fans, it is a one point gained. To the pessimistic fans, it is neither a point gain nor 2 points lost. It was a game that we gift away before Chelsea reject and give it back to us. And as a result, we are 2 points behind Man City.

With 14 games left, I wont be surprised if the title is heading towards Etihad Stadium in May. However, I also realised that Man Utd have clear all the big teams even before the season hit the final third, with Tottenham and Man City to play for. A word of caution, teams that are in the lower half of the table are also fighting against relegation, hence any point gained is a step away from it.

And with the Europa Cup resumes next week, I would prefer Man Utd got dump out by Ajax just for 2 simple reasons. There is no league matches next weekend due to FA Cup and Man Utd only have Ajax to face these 2 weeks. After that it will be league matches all the way till May. Wouldnt it be good if Man Utd recharge during these 2 weeks and charge all the way?

The match against Liverpool for the second time in many weeks will be an added significant. Luiz Suarez is back after 8 games suspension and will face Patrice Evra.

Again no punt for this match.
