Actually I think you have to allow events to dictate who you pick. Fergie made a mistake allowing Evra to start at Anfield. They lost that game because he made an error late that let Kuyt in.
We lost the game after the scuffle in the tunnel at half time - something that probably would not have happened had Suarez not started and/or not refused the handshake.
We didn't NEED to start Suarez - we needed to play our form players in a comfortable formation, and that we did not do.
Sorry but Evra had to start at Anfield. He is captain and Ferguson does not run away from anything as much as I hate him. Similarly Dalglish does not run away either so had to start Suarez in this one.
I agree, but both players ultimately caused trouble for their own sides, and the game was lost. There's a lesson there somewhere. I feel (and felt prior to the game, so this isn't hindsight talking) that we had to start Bellamy and Carroll
regardless of whether Suarez played. I felt that Suarez would be most effective running at them at the end of the game, particularly if we had to chase the game. Now, I'm not smarter than Kenny as a football manager, but whatever we tried to do out there ultimately failed, because our passing was dire and we were hoofing it to Saurez rather than Carroll.
Just think we could have been wiser, but we chose not to be because we were in a rush to start Suarez.
