Evra admits United lacked spirit
Manchester United left-back Patrice Evra has questioned the team's attitude after they were eclipsed by Liverpool at Anfield.[LNB] Evra was left frustrated at the manner of United's first defeat in 12 games in all competitions. Goals from a fit-again Fernando Torres and substitute David Ngog in the second half ended a run of four losses for Liverpool.[LNB] "I'm always happy to play at Liverpool, I am not scared," he told MUTV. "We also have a lot of experienced players, who are used to big games. But we did not show the Manchester United spirit."[LNB] He added: "The advice was to play our football but we did not do that and I do not know why.[LNB] "Liverpool were aggressive but we did not play and that is why it is so frustrating to lose.[LNB] "Normally we create at least five or six clear chances in a game but we only had the one when Valencia hit the bar. It is not enough if you want to win against Liverpool."[LNB] United defender Nemanja Vidic is set for a one-match ban after being picking up two yellow cards.[LNB] Evra, however, agreed with Ferguson that Liverpool defender Jamie Carragher should have been dismissed for a challenge on former team-mate Michael Owen when he was clean through.[LNB] "I do not understand why Carragher only got a yellow card for fouling Owen when I think he was the last man," said the French defender.[LNB] "But I look more at the display of Manchester United and the display was poor."
