Hernandez - sheer class today! Great result and there's a good chance of the other two dropping points tomorrow.

Missed the United game but yes, the way we've been playing thus far I wouldn't be all that surprised if we dropped points tomorrow.

How many have we recovered? Has to be a close 2nd right...
Your defending's your main and only concern. To make things worse, Stefan Savic has already had 3 monstrous outings in a Fiorentina jersey since leaving City.

Yep, City have 11 points having recovered from losing positions, with a game in hand later today. Edin Dzeko is your Javier Hernandez, literally.

I have a feeling that City will draw or lose today
Weird, I have that same feeling every time United play.

I think the main culprit has got to be Kompany, he's just looked so off this season and really our best performance(both offensive/defensive) came up against Sunderland right before the International break when both Kompany and Nastasic had a bit of a niggle and we were forced to go in with Lescott and Richards at centre-back with Kolarov and Zabaleta playing out-wide.
My guess was 10, pretty close. Edin's been weird this season, given a start looks invisible and off the bench looks invincible.

Poor defending but if Howard Webb didn't help them out, there wouldn't have been a corner in the first place!
If I'm honest, I'm happy with the draw because Chelsea deserved to win. Oscar and Mata both should have scored in the first half. Liverpool were so poor in the first 60 minutes. I couldn't think of one player who had even an average game until then. Gerrard was inspirational in the last 30 minutes. Suarez's determination was commendable (although, despite the goal, he had a poor game- poor touch, didn't get into good enough positions, and gave the ball away in the final third too often) and Sterling's work-rate was to be applauded. Allen had his worst game in a Liverpool shirt yet and he's been poor for a few games now if I'm honest. Earlier in the season he looked so comfortable on the ball even with tight pressing, but he's been losing it far too frequently recently. Sahin was anonymous again and I really haven't been impressed with him. He's a little too lazy and drifts in and out of games which he can't afford to do in his position. The recycling of the ball was poor in the first half and Gerrard was understandably frustrated as he never got a touch of the ball. Wisdom had a bit of a shocker in the first half as well. Didn't look comfortable at all.
Also, I wasn't a fan of the starting formation. I understand it was to counter the Chelsea trio but it just stopped Liverpool from playing as they had nobody in the wide areas. Speaking of which, they kept attacking down the left flank with Enrique when Bertrand looked far more susceptible. Rodgers figured this out too late because he only switched Sterling to a right winger late in the 2nd half.

It's been a hell of a weekend of Premiership football - a fantastic (if somewhat predictable 
) comeback from Utd, a fightback from City after being a goal down, and Chelsea drop more points as well.
If there was any doubt, it's gone now: Hernandez is the new Solskjaer.

Well many people say MANUTD=One man team actually it is LFC=One man team (Suarez)
Suarez scoring his 11th goal of the season for Liverpool on 11/11/12, which also happens to be gameweek 11 of the Premiership.
He probably could have won it late on, but given the countless number of chances Chelsea spurned, I'm not at all complaining. Brad Jones deserves a mention too for that world class save of his, off Torres' header.

That's nothing new. People always call Utd a one man team. Whether it's Cantona, and his run of 1-0 goal scoring appearances back in the mid nineties, or Rooney, or Ronaldo, or RVP.
We know it's not true, that's all that matters.
