Do you honestly believe that first challenge warranted a yellow? If so, why was Skipp not booked?

I think Ward deserves a mention as well today. He covered for Tomkins and Anderson a few times. Has occasional rush of blood to the head when he thinks he’s Lionel Messi and decides to dribble out of defence. He’s not blessed with exceptional ability like Zaha, but he’s a good hard working professional who gives everything for the team and leaves nothing on the pitch.

the dramatics with Zaha seem to happen every week.

as an Eagle, i am getting bored with it. For certain all the referees are sick of the abuse.

we need to give zaha some anger-management counselling.

Kayla did Anfield & Old Trafford

Yes indeed, disgraceful performance and attitude from Wilf and for what he’s given us this year we would be no worse off playing one of the up and coming wingers from the U23’s and saving the £560K we waste on his wages each month. Pathetic moaning cry baby with an absolutely awful attitude.

The first yellow was a little on the soft side, but why on Earth was he making that tackle in the first place? He was so far from the ball and it was a totally unnecessary and stupid challenge. I said to the old man that he’s gonna get sent off, it was almost like he purposely got sent off - his performance up to that point was pathetic and he was playing as if he didn’t want to be on the pitch. He was the worst player on the pitch, no pressing and giving the ball away cheaply.

His pace has gone and without that he’s pretty average. He has a big bollocks attitude but he’s no longer the biggest fish.

I'm not enjoying the way we're playing and think that we're getting rumbled by the opposition and causing our own problems. Recycling the ball too many times (today) or overplaying in our own half when we're in front (Southampton and Everton)

Theres's also a worrying softness in the centre of defence IMO. Ferdinand was scathing of Andersen's (aerial) defending on their second goal.
