Let's just start with this: don't stamp on people. It was a bizarre day at Anfield, with visitors Manchester United taking an early lead and largely outplaying Liverpool until late in the first half. Then, in the second half, Steven Gerrard got sent off just 50 seconds in, and the entire match got sent wildly out of control. A stunning finish from Juan Mata gave United a second, then Daniel Sturridge beat most of their defense on his own to give Liverpool a shot to get something out of what looked like a lost match. Liverpool looked to have the momentum to find an equalizer late, especially after a huge penalty save from Simon Mignolet, but it was too little, too late, and Manchester pulled away from Liverpool in the race for a top-four spot in the table. 3 things 1. Louis Van Gaal may have found Manchester United's best midfield -- The combination of skills that Michael Carrick , Marouane Fellaini and Ander Herrera provide in Manchester's midfield work better together than any other combination we've seen from Van Gaal's side this season. The energy of Fellaini and Herrera gives Carrick the time and space he needs to work on the ball, the on-ball intelligence of Herrera and Carrick gives United options and balance in building up their attack and Fellaini provides excellent support to the attack with his bulldozing runs up the pitch. This trio dominated Liverpool's midfield for much of the game and set the tone for Manchester Unit
