Solid performance all round, though was surprised to see no Carra or Gerrard - missed any team news so they could have been injured, but I'd be concerned if Gerrard is injured again after such a long lay-off. Carra probably needed a rest after the mid-week game? Seeing him subbed for Skrtel never fills me with confidence, but at least we had Agger back!
I'm still failing to see how Johnson is better at RB than Kelly, though to be fair Kelly had an off day last time out and gave away possession going forward a bit much (more than can be expected anyway). I'd say Johnson is in the team on reputation alone at this point.
Two good away wins this week, and Swansea aren't great away from home so I'm hoping for another 3 points to keep the momentum going before the Chelsea then Man City week. To the usual down-in-the-dumps-negativity-people, 1 point out of 3rd after 10 matches isn't all that bad is it? Bit better than Uncle Roy, eh? We may still be 5th/6th, but we have to believe we have the squad to outlast Newcastle and to challenge Spurs, Arsenal, and even Chelsea. If United continue to struggle they may come back to us as well. We just need to keep our heads down, keep creating those chances, and work on our finishing and passing.
EDIT: 2112th post. All Rush fans know the significance of this!
