Liverpool vs. Manchester United

Hope Kenny doesn't change anything. Liverpool's system suiting Scholesy brilliantly.

Disgusting. Much as Liverpool might wish it was still football in the '80s, you'd hope they'd leave that sort of stuff behind. Worst bit is I'm not even that surprised.

Bullet sent to Anton Ferdinand is grim as well. Don't know why I continue to be shocked by the idiocy of some fans though, it's hardly a secret that they exist.
 
park shouldn't be anywhere near playing for the first team. Rooney and nani are our creative force and we miss them dearly. Valencia is doing a fine job but he is lacking support up there. Scholes is doing decent through the middle as well.

:d:d:d:d:d:d:d
 
They've been OK, but need to supply the left as much as the right wings


Think the positioning of the left as well as the fact they're lack of pace (Giggs or Park) has meant they're not really threatening the twin full backs Downing and Kelly.

Conversely Valencia and Rafael have worked well in tandem which is why they've shone.
 
Very composed first half.The team has impressively kept the ball but to me it's a more of a sign of Liverpool being really poor in midfield.We should win this but football can be unpredictable.
We've rarely been this much better than them
 
We're dominating with our reserves so far. Rafael has been great, Valencia still a beast and Scholes is back to his old ways. Good stuff so far, though we need to create more in the final third.

Joke. He should be banned for life. Lets just make sure this picture circulates and not just swept under the carpet by Liverpool.
 
We've passed them to death without penetrating. Giggs, Evra and Park aren't doing much going forward but Downs and Kelly are doing well.
 
Happy enough with the 3 in the middle, to be honest. Pass them to death, cracks will appear.

Yeah, I'm liking seeing us with three in the middle as we've dominated them. Just can't see Welbeck being in the game that much though while we do but it's not that much of a worry at the moment, we are still creating a few chances. Just need a bit more penetration.

If that's accurate, I'd like to see LFC punished as a club, not just the fan. They helped create the kind of atmosphere where a fan might think such a thing is acceptable through their handling of the Suarez situation.
 
Rafa and Tony have got the right flank on lock. If we can keep working the ball out to them this game is ours. We did well not to lose our heads after conceding and by continuing to play our football got our just rewards. Love to see Evra get the winner. It'd be beautiful.
 
All you people who have slated Park this half can

feck RIGHT OFF - wankers all of you.

The feck? It dosnt take away from the fact that he has had a nightmare of a game up to that point
 
Some can't wait to play the TOP RED card, you know.

Supporting your players as opposed to making insulting and small ime remarks about them makes you a TOP RED? :wenger::wenger:

These match day threads are so fascinating as it just shows who actually gets football and who doesn't.
 
Brilliant first half performance. We absolutely dominated them from the word go, and their goal was totally against the run of play and with that useless lump Carroll all over DDG, who aside from that has looked solid.

Rafael and Valencia in particular are fecking sensational. Need to kick on in the 2nd half and turn the screw, we carry on like this wr'll find the net a few more times I reckon.
 
feck me sideways, this is stressful. Can't understand why pool don't have at least one yellow yet...
 
About how people thought the first half would go, aside from the goals. The midfield has been very crowded.
 
We are dominating the game. Really pleased with the performance so far. Scholes is awesome today.
 
Very good half considering the players we are missing. We have controlled midfield although I'd like us to create more chances and get Valencia/Rafael the ball as much as possible. Great finish from Park.

Don't know how anyone can blame De Gea for their goal, should look at the pathetic marking which allowed them to get a free-header.
 
It has to be said that we've absolutely bossed this game so far.

Aye, and the composure and reaction to going behind was really impressive.

Our back 4 has impressed me most, Smalling and Evans look like Vidic and Rio (at least with the ball at their feet) while Rafael and Evra are coping well with Liverpool when they do get the ball.

Welbeck needs to be brought into the game more, I'd like to see Berba second half if we don't lead by 60/70 mins. We have this though

Here's the things iSPARKY, I don't think he was. he was just not being supplied by our midfield, neither was Evra - everything was going down our right to Tony V. Park made several excellent defensive challenges before he scored that goal.
 
The gulf in class is astonishing. They really are on par with teams like Stoke, but only just.

We should be battering them.
 
Joke. He should be banned for life. Lets just make sure this picture circulates and not just swept under the carpet by Liverpool.

They'll probably say it was lost in translation.His grandfather used to be an ape so it's ok
 
In fairness, each boo we hear for Evra is supporting a racist. It's horrendous.
 
Really impessed by the first half, we are passing it really well and everybody looks confident bar De Gea.
