Liverpool vs. Manchester United

HT: Not a bad game, both sides hade half decent chances. Will be an interesting 2nd half.

Larsson's been a bit quiet while Vidic looked a bit shaky. Scholes and Carrick need to start to control the game. Ronaldo's been dangerous at times.

Our movement has been very good at times, we need more from that. 0-0 isnt that bad so far

What a major breakthrough!
 
It might sound weird but I think Silvestre should be brought on to cope with Bellamy, he has dealt with pacey players before like Henry and did a terrific job.

And Saha needs to be brought on for a target up front to hold the ball.
 
The defence is under way too much pressure, when we avhe broken out which ahs been rare enough, it's been unusually narrow bar Evra down the left flank.

Got to inject some pace into our play, we're playing right into their hands like this.

Wasn't exactly what i was expecting at 12:45 but hey.

Still time to make our mark.

UNITED!!
 
I am hearing Carragher and Fergie are having a go at each other in the tunnel.

Saha needs to come on. We need his ability to take on players as well as hold the ball up

he was needed at the start and i don't want fergie to give him just 15 minutes... he needs to get in the game and that needs like 30 minutes... come on fergie bring saha please... he got so much touch and runs

fecking homer ref of all time this one

He even gave them another couple of minutes for no apparent reason, during which they could attack all they want, knowing he'd blow up if there was any chance of us counter attacking

fecking cheat

He's having a fecking shocker.

Not a big game ref at all. He seems to believe that the team in the red have the right to pull shirts, kick out, and foul at will, whilst the team in white are not allowed to play contact football.

Very odd, and exactly the sort of thing that worries me the most about these sorts of games.

I feel Heinze will come on the left side
Vidic looks unsteady as does Evra - all there attacks are coming from that side
On the plus, we look really good when we have possession - Carragher saved them twice from Ronnie and Rooney
Even game, they have had chances, but they are getting far too much possession for my liking
Come on United

Heinze is not listed on the bench today....I do think Fergie needs to take Vida out though...
 
Larsson need to be replaced by Saha as soon as possible and I don't care that it's his last league game for us, he won't create anything today.
 
Not liking this performance so far, Rooney and Larsson need to get more involved and I don't have a clue what's wrong with Vidic. Hopefully it'll be different in the second half and we can make a few more chances, otherwise Liverpool will tear us to peices.

A shite Vidic is far superior to Silvestre.

No, he isn't, what Vidic has been doing today and lately is outrageous, he's getting outmuscled by some tiny Welshman, he needs twenty seconds to decide what to do with the ball, he doesn't even know when he gets it, piss poor.

Yep quite right!

I feel the same, Melv. Larsson has just not had it yet today, and I'd like to have seen Saha from the start anyway. Vidic is struggling, especially since that little cnut seems to be allowed to foul at will by the Legendary Martin Atkinson.
 
Saha definately needs to come. Very tight so far hard to call how it is going to go
 
We need to try and get Scholes dictating trhe game more. He's been class when he's managed to get a foothold.

If it wasn't for Vidic secretly being Silvestre, I'd be quite confident.
We've looked dangerous on the break. They've looked dangerous when our defence have started sodding about
 
"the phrase a game of two halfs was invented for white hart lane today"

Please God make it Anfield today. :D
 
i cant stop being nervous especially when your stream is 2 minutes delayed, that's why i keep hitting the refresh button here in the caf anxiously waiting for someone to post a "feck YEAHHHH"

come on you lads
 
What did I fecking say? How many times are they going to work our left side?

I hope SAF can calm Vida down right now. You could see him yelling at him...

"CALM DOWN...(calming hand motion)...compose yourself"

Our counters look nice, but Ronnie must negotiate a way through because we can only take so many of those crosses. What a dive by Kuyt (was it Kuyt?) to win that FK in close. It looked like a dive anyway.

How is the English stream doing? I switched over to the Chinese one a few minutes in because the English one kept cutting in and out, did it get better? Did anyone stick with it to find out?

Very nerve wrecking this one. I'm still sticking with my 2-0 prediction.

Ronnie and Saha will do them in.

Bring us home boys.
 
Bloody hell Liverpool have started well.
