I thought Maureen was surprisingly magnaminous after the game! He said Liverpool deserved to win the game and were better in every department, what more do you want? I think it's fair to say Liverpool were nearer full match fitness, I don't think you want to peak too soon, the title run in's the most important part of the season so you can't read too much into it, though at least their won't be as much hype surrounding them.
It's funny how grey his hair is looking these days though, I almost got the impression he was getting a bit fed up...
