United are hardly at home on Saturdays.

Tomorrow is our first Saturday 3pm kick off of the season. Thank the Lord for Sky.

Evans and O'Shea dropped and United finally look decent at the back.

They both need a spell in the Reserves to get some confidence, because they've both been soft as $hit so far this season.

Rafael looked confident and much better than O'Shea, he shouldn't be dropped for tomorrow.

Park was very quiet going forward, but helped Evra out at the back. I thought Anderson and Fletcher played well, but Carrick lost the ball far too much. Still, at least we kept a clean sheet and finally got a win in Spain.

O'shea offers good cover but he's not someone you want playing in a position regular as for Evans he's making mistakes but i still feel he'll be a top quality half in the future, we looked a different team with Rio and Vida at the back although Evra isn't filling me with confidence so far this season. Rafeal was the standout player for me with his workrate and ability and to play the last 30 mins with an injury just shows how tough he is (he could hardly walk when he came off)

I don't know whats happened to Park this season but he looks a liability, he's always been a workhorse but his work rate seems to have fallen this season i just hope he improves as he can be a cracking player when at his best. As you say Carrick was poor but that could be down to a lack of match fitness so i'll give him a few games before i pass judgement i just hope he doesn't play last season.

As i said to a bin dipping supporter at work when he tried to take the about only winning 1-0 we had Scholes, Valencia, Giggs and Rooney missing and we still got a 1-0 at the Mestallia that'll do for me



My text at halftime "With this high defensive line Valencia are playing Fergie needs to get Hernandez on as he'll exploit them with his pace" i should have been a manager

Heskey definitely deserves an assist for Villa's goal, but he should share the assist with Bassong, because he couldn't have done anything without Bassong's criminal defending.

Clattenburg's clearly forgotten his cards today. There's been about 4 lunges worthy of a yellow and the game's only 20 minutes old.

Warnock's just kicked Gomes in the head and Clattenburg still won't show a card.

Sort it out Fergie

How good was Karl Henry's tackle today? I've never seen anything like it. Absolute quality and something we need more of. The ragdoll physics by Jordi Gomez were superb, an involuntary sumersault.

Where were all the United fans yesterday?

Sounds like Ben Arfa has got a badly broken leg after a wild challenge from De Jong. Not seen it personally but it doesn't sound very pretty.

I missed it as I'm flicking between golf and the football but I'm sure Jon Champion said it was accidental collision that caused it.

I'm doing the same. Going off what the BBC live text fella said.

Torres off after 9 minutes with a groin strain

Liverpool 0-2 Blackpool

how dare Blackpool do that. that's almost the attitude of Collymore and co on talksport. who on earth gave that plank a job?

2-1 now and it should be 3-2, Ngog and Cole have wasted glorious chances. Torres off injured after 10 mins, he best not go on international duty. Some shambolic defending from both sides. Hodgson out!

ohh dear oh dear liverpoool. Just got back from pub there aresome k**heads inthi world. 1 lad i know said we should get rid of mancini were playing boring football. Were 2nd in league and you want too getrid of a top manager who finally sorted our defence out nice one haha laughable some so called football fans

Why can Blackpool only beat the naff teams? All I want is to see them beat a top side for my grandad. Gits.

The planks at TalkSport.

Looks like you were right, just a little bit early!!!!

De Jong's just a dirty 8astard. Can't believe he wasn't given a straight red for that challenge.

Two broken legs he's inflicted this year.

I can't say I'm surprised anymore. You appoint dross, you get dross results. Embarrassing.
