Liverpool v The Champions - Minute By Minute

Ferdinand puts a bit too much on an over top ball to Valencia
 
What a save on a header from Aurelio!!! VdS is stepping up huge today
 
What a fecking joke, Berbatov has been carded for literally nothing
 
This ref is a disgrace, I dont see how a yellow card is in that, if that is a foul the challenges on giggs and Carrick are dead on penalties
 
He grab his eyes, before grabbing the back of his head, what a fecking dive, trying to get Evra sent off
 
Corner won by Torres off Vidic

Well cleared by Vidic
 
VdS has been the best player on the pitch today
 
Kuyt dives in the box, Liverpool have been about as classy as a 2 nickle hooker

He and Berbatov were both holding each other's shirts
 
How has Lucas not been carded?

What a joke Berbatov was fouled at the edge of the box. This ref is a joke

HT

Been entertaining thus far though
 
Giggs and Carragher both yelling at the ref haha
 
I hope Anderson gets a sniff in the second half Nani as well, I think both could be quite useful. On a side note, I think that United would be behind if Foster was in goal, VdS is pure fecking class.
 
Half-time and Giggs asks the referee why there was no foul given on Berbatov, only for Carragher to barge in with a mouthful of Scouse. Andre Marriner, presumably not understanding, asks Carragher (and Giggs) to move away.

On the balance of the play, Liverpool have been better without threatening aside from Aurelio's free-kick, while we really need Valencia to exploit Insúa more as the difference in pace is staggering.
 
Shocking miss by the ref on the Carragher penalty. That's a foul and a yellow anywhere on the pitch in any game. Ref is being way too kind to liverpool.

Valencia owns Insua, hope to see Antonio get more of the ball. Change Scholes for Anderson.
 
I'm happy we hard words with the ref, though. Hopefully it'll have put pressure on him.
 
how many "commentators" in this thread?

Minute by minute people only. The other thread is for general comments
 
Free Kick to United at the edge of the box, how in feck has Rooney not been carded
 
No subs yet one surely feels they are on the way

GOAL

Stunner from Torres
 
The best player in the league I'd say VdS had no chance
 
This ref is a joke called the Mascherano foul on Scholes about 5 seconds late
 
Free Kick to United

Give MEe a fecking break how are Lucas and Mascherano not carded
