desperate for a win, long time since we won there, but we need it to keep pace with Shitty.

It sounds like we are getting to their standards not they to ours.![]()
I think you're talking bollocks to be fair. Rooney is always under media pressure and his red card last week is nothing new.he is under a lot of media pressure fergie might chose to keep him out.....
Nah, can't blame any United fan for being desperate for a win in this match. You know what he means.
I was referring to the "we need it to keep pace with Shitty" part.
Alan Hansen:
"For Charlie Adam, Jose Enrique, Stewart Downing and Jordan Henderson, this is a new experience, while most of United's squad have played in this fixture before"
What a load of utter bollocks. Young, Jones, Smalling, Cleverley, DDG....
He's basically saying "I think Liverpool will win because they treat it like a cup final and need to win to keep confidence high". Nothing about the fact that there's a reason we're top...
Tbf, they've had a good record against us in previous years probably for this very reason. Its the biggest match of the season for their players and fans. Its a massive match for us too but we have huge matches all season in various competitions. So there is a probability that their players raise their game a bit more for this match than ours do, with us usually going into the match heavily fancied and being guilty of complacency.
"This is why I believe Liverpool will be right up for this and I think they will win. They are playing the team everyone regards as the one to beat in the race for the Premier League title."
Every time I've seen Liverpool this season they've been pretty crap.
they only raise their game against us because its their cup final.....
Hansen on why Liverpool will win:
We'll win because we're playing the best team...I'm not sure he understands how this whole argumentation thing goes.
"Alan, will Tranmere beat Barca?"
"Of course Tranmere will win, Barca are the best team in the world!"
Not sure why people are struggling with this concept. He thinks they'll win because for Liverpool this is the biggest game of their whole season and they are at home. For us, its one of many important games for us during the season, so the feeling is that Liverpool might be more up for this particular game (as has appeared to be the case in the last couple of seasons).
I dont agree with him, but his argument does have a bit of logic.
Alan Hansen is always first to critisize Liverpool when they're playing crap or out of sorts. He's not the best pundit out there but he's not Pro-Liverpool either IMO.

But, by his logic, everyone should beat us, because, being the best team in England, we're everyone's biggest game.
Sure, you try hard for your big games, but you can't just say you'll win because it's hard.

the dippers have a fully-fit squad to chose from....just our bad luck.
