Manchester United 2-1 Liverpool: Five talking points| Jamie Jackson | Football | The Guardian
Jamie Jackson has it right summing up this match. It seems that all the hard work and time expired sussing out Daniel Sturridge has paid off as he has slid seamlessly into the side, linking well with more than just Suarez.
What is inexplicable is why Liverpool played so badly, especially in the first half. From the surface, it looked a bad case of nerves, as too many of this side have never experience the cauldron-atmosphere of this match. Those that performed well were the "old" heads; Skrtel, Agger. Though this still doesn't explain why Gerrard was at the heart of some crucial mistakes, but that has been his form all season, blowing hot and cold.
It seems that Suarez was let out with a promise to behave well, and that took his edge off. Seems that everyone was on that level, as the first half ended more like an exhibition rather than a seething rivalry. I suppose that this is the finale of a media-fueled frenzy of minor and non-issues of the past.
