The Mail Bag
Two bad teams

I think we've got to put a bit of perspective on today's game, before our sense of aggrievement gets in the the way of some clear thinking.
Firstly let's be clear, the ref was crap and at least cost us a draw. Argue on the details, but it looks like we were down at least a goal due to poor refereeing.
The bigger picture relates to how we played. I thought we were pretty ordinary and have the look of a team that through passion and endeavour will win a lot of home games but will struggle away.
Last year Moyes made 3 great signings in AJ, Howard and Lescott. This year we all hoped that 3 more good signings would turn us from promising to the real deal. I hope I'm wrong, but at this stage the signings of Jagielka, Baines and Yakubu look suspect and haven't brought us on to the next level.
The good news about today is how absolutely shite a job Mad Max is doing at Anfield. They are a mess and will win nothing. To me Moyes has a big choice. Go for the 3 cups and hope we can find a pot and a way into Europe that way or concentrate on a league campaign that will probably, at best, leave us between 6th and tenth.
To me the answer is clear, starting Thursday night and the following Wednesday let's make sure we give the cups a go this year. We're good enough to steer clear of danger in the Prem, but after today's events I find it difficult to get enthused about a league that simply wants to keep the status quo. Have no doubt, those decisions would never have gone against the top four at home. Never.
