Lovely equaliser for Manure there.
Also, Gary Neville said before the game Liverpool are one of the big contenders for this year's title
He's got more faith than me and he's not even a Liverpool fan!...

Lol. I love how much it must suck to hate us.

Quality goal for the equaliser from the Rags, and tbf they probably shaded it and deserved the win overall. They looked fitter, we were looking a little sluggish, but was an excellent workout for both sides. Gutted we didn't get to see Aguero in a blue shirt, let's hope with another week's training he'll be fine to face Swansea next Monday.

It was Kompany that unusually ballsed up for the third goal, very unlike him, but rather he do it in a friendly than next Monday!

BARNES OUT
United "edged" it? Apart from the last ten minutes of the first half we could barely string three passes together! We looked so terrible in that second half.
Thought Mancini managed terribly today. Poor substitutions that weren't needed and refused to change the game when we were crying out for it. wtf are you changing Kolarov and Clichy mid-game for you muppet. And while I'm on this topic, **** Clichy. The **** is useless and I've said it all along. Worst bit of business Mancini has done that didn't include a relative.
In the end the game doesn't mean anything to me so I didn't care when we got done and quite enjoyed my night. It's a shame that second United goal wasn't in a Prem game, it would've already won goal of the year.

Clichy was at fault, check where he is in relation to where the ball bounces.

I appreciate that, but Kompany should have taken everything out in that position, and you can usually rely on him to do so. Like I say, a rare error of judgement on his behalf.

Yes it would have been a nice game to win, but essentially it was another chance for the players to get more minutes under their belts and get sharper for Swansea in just over a weeks time. Think you answered your own questions in your last paragraph, it means nothing to you, and while it will obviously mean more to Mancini and co, it was a glorified friendly, he may have wanted to have a look at how Clichy might fit in alongside the other three, though would have give him much more time. Don't get the Clichy hate, think he's the ideal type of pacy, attacking left-back that we need.
Changes are also made for those that are not near full fitness yet. It was a worthwhile workout, yet one I'd still have liked to win!
Regards the 'United edged it', I may have been a little generous on us, but you've got to allow for some bias, even in friendlies!

Clichy threw Kompany down the river there i felt.
Clichy was the closest to the ball and was going towards it and then just decided to walk away from it
Kompany should have stayed deeper and Clichy should have come across and taken man or ball or whatever he could get.
But when he didn't Kompany obviously should have dealt with it better but Clichy was more at fault initially.

Had Clichy done his job properly Kompany's only job would have been to launch the ball back into Man Utd's box.
