Just watch the game FFS.

I've had a look at the shape of both teams, the tactical movements and marking assignments, the principles of play behind the contrasting philosophies and the strengths of both attacks and defences. I also drew up complex tactical diagrams, gridded out the main areas of concern, and circled the main 1v1's that will be vital to the game. Following that, I established a statistical simulation of 1000 games based on key metrics concerning attack and defence, the condition of the field, the vociferousness of the supporters, and the relative statistical strengths of both teams possible formations.
An optimistic RAWKite said:These guys laboured against our 10 men in the second half. I predict they'll miss out top 4 by losing to City, Chelsea and Arsenal, and drawing with one of West Brom or Palace
feck the FA.
Was always gonna happen. Not because it was deserved but because it's the FA.
Herrera also gets away with a diabolical tackle as well ( because the ref saw it and only gave a yellow card ) and, according to the rules, De Gea should also be missing the next 3 games for his reaction to the 'stamp' but, funnily enough, no one has mentioned it at all
The problem I hve is that Rooney's kick on Mig was just as bad - if not worse due to the higher risk of serious injury from twisting an ankle hen landing on the landing foot.
If i'm Skrtel, i'd go to the FA and say yes I did stamp on De Gea only because Wayne Rooney kicked out and studded our goal keeper and could have broke his ankle so I was paying them back.
As expected FA doing nothing to precious Spanish midgets like Herrera and De Gea when both should get 3 game bans.
The refereeing was atrocious & we never get favourable decisions made before us.
I don't know what Duncan Castles is going on about, calling Skrtel a serial offender and dirty...

Genuine question now, is there another club that has objectively been as disgusting as Liverpool in the last decade?
They've had
a) A proven racist
b) A player whose bitten someone twice
c) A captain who twatted someone because he didn't like the music
d) A manager who wore a shirt in support of a racist
e) A player who was found to racially abuse someone else and then refuse to shake that person's hand.
f) Sponsors literally had to almost pull the funding from the club over all this
I mean, at what point do liverpool fans say "Enough is enough." It is literally always then.
Blimey, only just realized we should have had at least 4 red cards in that match. Rooney, Herrera, Jones and now De Gea.
De Gea is a midget now?![]()
PhaseOfPlay bloke has to be Brentan Rodgers. It just has to be, far too many correlations between the two to think there's more than one of them.

Suarez wasn't racist though, it was a conspiracy led by Fergie, Evra and the FA to get Suarez out of the country and to keep Liverpool down.
Many of them did and still do say that.![]()
You're making the classic mistake of trying to rationalise irrational behaviour.
I think it's worth remembering that when you're coming into regular contact with the deluded and the plain downright fecking unwell (as we all are when engaging with RAWK thinking patterns) you could do worse than book a pretty robust debriefing session with a well trained mental health professional. Be careful out there folks.

We're going to smash these into the middle of the international break.

In the bigger picture, this is the equivalent of the Chelsea game last season, to a lesser extent. By that, I mean that it is a big obstacle that we need to get past to achieve an objective we are pursuing. Whether we get top four or not, we need to win this game for the future, because the players will learn a lot about themselves by being able to get past a direct opponent and overtake them in the table. It will be a valuable lesson. And because that potential lesson exists, I think we'll go into this game very assured, confident, and clinical.
PhaseOfPlay
We're playing panic football, right into United's hands. No leadership on the field, and nobody wants to put their foot on the ball and slow the game down. Cue one Steven Gerrard to get us out of the mire again.

If you take the 2 games away where they've beaten us this season, we've been better than them even after an abject 2nd half of 2014. We must go to Arsenal and win to stand any chance of making the top 4.
The jokes about Stevie G slipping last year have been sickening - every fan revelling in that song - now my facebook is a plethora of jokes about his sending off so fast. I'm so bloody sick of it - Id kill to see him score the winner in the fa cup final
You're 41 and you're worried about wind up comments on facebook? Seriously?
Or they could show up in spirit, but leave their bodies behind in Liverpool. Save money on coach fuel that way. Take that City! 1p less for you transfer kitty next season.
Yep the Manc bastards have Catfished us, delete the club. They pretended to play shit football all season, tantalising us with 4th place cleavage, only to turn up at Anfield as a footballing wrecking machine.
Christ, I wanted to know his predicted outcomes at the end of that. Presumably Liverpool would've won 999 times out of 1,000.
This is when mental meets mental and has a mental baby.
The other one was a no-contest as United had 5 men sent off.Christ, I wanted to know his predicted outcomes at the end of that. Presumably Liverpool would've won 999 times out of 1,000.
No, count me in that too. To jump over the keeper he needs to plant his foot on the ground, and I think that's what he tried to do. Anything else is unnatural. Had he not stepped there, he would fall and slam the keeper with his body, which might have been the better option in view of potential injuries, but his momentum is carrying him down, and something needed to be done. I think that De Gea accidentally slides his foot where Skrtel tried to step. Any human reaction would take 0.6s and h did not have that time. That's why it looks deliberate. But that's just my view.
Oh dear. Bunch of weirdos.On finding out about Squirtle being charged:
not much of a meltdown, but some of them still have some humour left after the defeat:
Cant say I did not chuckle a bit myself, credit where credit is due.![]()
A FA Cup Final that they're not even in yet. Heck they're not in the Semis yetFunny how the "better team" must win at Arsenal to stand any chance of making the top 4.

All of this is golden but best parts - DDG a midget and that he should be banned for the reaction after the stamp..On finding out about Squirtle being charged:
Poor Martin...crushed like a butterfly upon the wheels of nefarioistyness; a Manc-made martyr, if you will.
Migs should have milked and reacted to Rooney's foul like that twat De Gea did. Maybe then he'd have faced the same penalty.

Yes, here we are, Stampy2, Sakky & Mings all making no fuss at all.
Stevie, legend dangling limply between his legs, felt the surge of Mersey adrenaline as the crowd roared.Time to make them all pay.
The hated opponents, the false messiah blind to his genius.
We're off. The ball's there, I think, have that you scum ponce. The adulation of the mob rings round the amphitheatre, revelling in the violence. Yes. He still has it. The day is his. His. The full impact of the Liverpool communion surges through him. Only with his followers does he feel whole.
This little twerp dares to challenge me. Me. How dare he? Take that!
A song enters his head unbidden orchestrated to the crowd's roar. His vision clears to an impossible block of red. Has this man lost his senses? This is his God he approaches. This insect cannot mean it.
The unsettled lull penetrates his fogged perception. High-pitched incomprehensible murmurs protest innocence. That there is no hurt. No fault. But soon, fallen, the idol walks slowly accompanied by hubris and envy back over the touchline.
