Evra: Big Silence at United | read this item

Patrice Evra has told reporters of the pain that him and his United teammates are feeling following their 2-0 loss to rivals Liverpool. United were defeated by a Fernando Torres goal, and a late David N’gog goal added salt to United’s wounds.

“Normally when United play we create at least five or six clear chances, but we only had the one when Valencia hit the crossbar. It’s not enough if you want to win against Liverpool,” said Evra.

“(Losing to Liverpool) is the most pain you can have when you play for United.

“There was a big silence in the dressing room afterwards and we will need a few days to recover from this big disappointment for us, for the staff, for the fans.

“Now I think we need to do what we did last year – win the league after losing to Liverpool. We also need to make sure we show the real United team at Old Trafford.”

Evra also revealed his frustrations with referee Andre Marriner’s decision to only caution Jamie Carragher following a last-man tackle on Michael Owen.

“I don’t understand why Carragher only got a yellow card for fouling Owen when I think he was the last man,” said the French defender.

“I look more at the display of Manchester United and the display was poor.”
