Dalglish's Nightmare Debut

Kenny Dalglish
No luck for him for his first game in charge.
It turned out to be a disaster for the new Liverpool manager Kenny Dalglish as his side crashed out of FA Cup due to some controversial judgements.

Manchester United grabbed the lead in as early as 2 minutes after Berbatov's cheap dive was cheaply awarded a penalty by the one who we call United's lucky star, Howard Webb. Great decision by England's so called best referee.

Manchester United had more to celebrate with Steven Gerrard tackled Darren Fletcher two-footedly in 33rd minute. It effectively sentenced a death to Dalglish's debut game as the Reds' manager.

But still Liverpool were able to fight their best to at least prevent any more leakage at the back and the display by the players were obviously better than Roy Hodgson's era. A sign of relief to the fans.

Man Utd 1-0 Liverpool, but the battle between Dalglish and Ferguson was certainly a draw. Two exciting old men.

Luis Nani
The popular fantasy captain candidate of the week will only feature on his seat.
This must be the injury week of Premier League as numerous big names suffered different degrees of body damages:

Something relieving though, all of them should only out for at most two to three weeks.

Everton 3-3 Man Utd: In Pictures

Can you believe it? Everton snatched a last minute draw in Goodison Park just now!!! Two goals in a minute! Such an exciting game! Now I'll bring you some narrative of the game in pictures:

Rooney out of the squad in order to protect him psychologically.
Out of form Valencia is out of the squad as well.
Goal (39th minute)! Steven Pienaar scored. Everton 1-0 Man Utd.
Darren Fletcher equalised (42th minute)! 1-1.
Vidic scored through a free-kick header (46th)! Man Utd led by 2-1.
Mr Silky Smooth scored through a beautiful counter (65th)! Man Utd 3-1 Everton.
Yakubu came on. Very effective substitute to give more control to Everton upfront.
Van der Sar performed numerous classic saves and looked too good for Everton to score before the arrival of stoppage time...
Tim Cahill scored with his trademark header with 20 seconds remaining! It seemed hard to change the tide nonetheless, but...
A big mess in United's penalty area and Arteta got a free shot. GOAL! Three goals apiece. United lost two points!
Jonny Evans again looked so shaky in United's defence. One of the main culprit for United's draw.
Despite the draw, I think Liverpool should worry a lot as United's attack is so silky and effective. A big tough test for Roy Hodgson and his squad.
