Match Highlights – Manchester United vs Liverpool
One of the more interesting things about the 3-0 win for Liverpool at the Old Trafford over Manchester United was that they didn’t play all that well and were probably deserving of at least one more penalty kick, with Steven Gerrard converting two of them (and missing one), getting help from Luis Suarez to make it an official humiliating result.

Chelsea FC – Jose Mourinho is Right to Complain About Chris Foy
Most of the times what we get from Jose Mourinho are mind games, but even through his attempts to help Chelsea out by the things he says in the media, blurbs of truth and honesty come out. His team might not have won, but there’s no doubt they were set back by some terrible officiating from Chris Foy and his crew.

Tottenham Hotspur: Tim Sherwood is no Better Than Andre Villas-Boas
Has the firing of Andre Villas-Boas and the advancement of Tim Sherwood actually changed anything for Tottenham? Their league record has improved, but hasn’t gotten them any closer to the Champions League. In other competitions? It’s actually been worse.

Arsenal FC – Mesut Ozil is a Scapegoat
It’s easy to target Mesut Ozil as the centerpiece of disappointment at Arsenal. His body language, his price tag and actually building him up to be the reason that Arsenal succeeded early in the season, making them favorites to win the league for a short while. But throwing all the blame on him is a bit too much.

Manchester City – Complaining About Referees Instead of Winning
Regardless of how Manchester City players, officials, management and fans try and spin it, there’s no hiding the fact that Barcelona were the better team in both encounters, and all the finger pointing and excuses made are simply an attempt to escape from the bitter truth.

Arsenal FC – Mesut Ozil & Olivier Giroud Failing Together
Another big occasion, and another match in which Mesut Ozil pulls off his famous disappearing act, while Olivier Giroud, worn out from being the only viable striker on this Arsenal team Arsene Wenger built, didn’t do much better in another rather bland 90 minutes from the French striker.

Champions League Predictions – Barcelona vs Manchester City, PSG vs Leverkusen
It’s hard to feel too excited about the second legs between Barcelona vs Manchester City and Paris Saint-Germain vs Leverkusen after both teams won quite convingly away from home in the first encounters, but it doesn’t mean we aren’t going to have good football to watch.
