I think everyone knew Jol would be sacked. Him and Hughton were a game away from losing their jobs. Hughton sadly to our chagrin managed to win two key games and has escaped the pressure.
Mourinho still trying to find his best team and best formation. Have to hand it to him, because he changed the formation and hit the ball long, which is the perfect way to bypass a high pressing team. It's why Chelsea with Drogba had so much success against Barcelona. January will be interesting, because they will probably strengthen.
Liverpool were just terrible and we could have done with them getting points today. Everything about the performance was bad. The players seemed complacent and sure they would get the victory. Huddlestone may not be good defensively, but he can sure control a game. In fact at this very moment he might be the best English midfielder and dictating the tempo of a game, but he is just so static and other players can run through him.
United did not deserve the points against Tottenham, but Spurs made a couple of big mistakes. Walker was actually good in attack today, but like usual he gave away a goal. I don't think it would be an exaggeration to say he gives away at least 20 goals a season from his own individual mistakes. Solado has no excuses today and was poor. He got the service, but wasted a number of chances. Tottenham have a decent run of games where they can get results. They need 9 points from there next 3 fixture and this is possible.
