Fernando Torres 4 He was extremely poor and the possibilities he had, he fluffed them as he kept on diving trying to win cheap free kicks. Pathetic display from Liverpool's player of the year.
However, you cannot put a good side down, not for too long at least and United came back with a vengeance beating the new kids on the block (Chelsea) in a tightly contested race for the Premier League in 2007 and repeating the feat in style the next year in one of the most exciting finishes to a Premier league year. With the champions league crown won also in sensational style, United were back! 2 Premier league names in 2 seasons!
Arsenal beat Thun 1-0 on late goal by Pires and traveling to Ajax for tuneup. Nigel de Jong got both Ajax goals in 2-1 win over Sparta. Ajax is through. Thun needs a home draw against Sparta to send home the Czechs and a position in Uefa.
I am not so sure he is exactly, but I also wouldn't be surprised if he was sacked. With Sheikh Mansour naming ex-Barcelona executives Ferran Soriano as new CEO and Txiki Begiristain linking him as Director of football, it might mean changes will come if results don't. Recent Mancini interviews have become increasingly heated and he definitely seems to be losing his cool more often while appearing stressed at times.
According to their form during the first half of this season you have to say Liverpool are strong contenders. They are the current league leaders and have experienced their brightest start to a year in a long while. They've conquered their big 4 panic (not lost in 3 encounters) and together with Arsenal have the best head to head to date. So what's the problem?
Kid gloves. They have never been ruthless. Not the way Chelsea was in 2005, United in 2007 or really Arsenal in 2003/04. For 스í¬ì¸ 티비 that hasn't won the League in nearly 2 decades there isn't any ruthless streak in their performances to whet the appetite. Despite being on top, supporters of Liverpool and many watchers of football are still not too confident of their position. The jury will be out on this and opinions will be divided. Truth be told those behind Liverpool in the standings feel a lot more confident of catching up than if a United or Chelsea were beforehand. Even Arsenal's run last season was more solid and clinical compared to the current league leaders.
Barca was dramatically beaten 2-0 at the Camp Nou in their next game against new comer Hercules CF! It was a shock not a fact Barca proved it in their next games. They were able to win the 3rd straight La Liga Crown with two matches to spare.
