Such a Jekyll and Hyde team.

Of what I've seen with my limited knowledge I would agree they look a bit uninspired . Do they miss Xabi Alonso that much and what is wrong with the back line ?

Xabi Alonso was an unsung hero of the team. While they certainly miss him, they are deep enough in talent to get along without him. As for the back line, it's as if they have forgotten how to play the game. Atrocious.

A number of these games will depend on how well players go through the African Cup, injuries may affect a few. Chelsea may be the most affected in this regard, and although I don't like Chelsea I will still be supporting them in this match up (I'm a EPL fan).

United may have an (unintended) added benefit of players out injured right now, they may be fresher physically come Feb. Same for Arsenal, IMO.

Sevilla guys sound cocky, but playing in Moscow in Feb is not a good thing for players accustomed to sunny Spain, if Russians score a couple at home they can park the bus away. Moscow is in deep freeze right now and this may turn out to be an even colder winter than last 2. German games may be affected same way.

Leeds united 1 man u 0 yayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

Surprised this threads been dead for a while considering all the great matches lately. Anyone catch Chelsea and Drogba hand it to Arsenal today? Hard to watch the superbowl after a match like that.

I saw both.

However, watching the Merseyside derby yesterday was a treat for this Liverpool fan. Down to 10 men after a half hour and winning 1-0 was a huge win.

I saw that on premier league review. Looked like a helluva match. Whats the deal with Steven Gerrard? There are some rumors going around that he may be looking for a new team I guess?

On another note, I just finished reading "Moments" by Christiano Ronaldo. Great read if you are a football fan of any team. Not boring at all and very insightful. I checked it out from the library but will definitely be buying it to have at home.

For me that was the game to watch. And as much as I like Howard he should had done better.

Nice to see you 'round these parts again, Hoon.

I agree. Howard should have done better but the way Liverpool has struggled this year, I'll take the win. Would be sweet to beat the Gunners tomorrow.
