And I actually remember many united fans coming onto are page a couple of months ago going the future looks bleak and also bull like that when in fact we are having a much better season than you. All you can actually win is the europa (eventhough i'm pretty sure you will be done in that too) so you should think about that. lots of love

a few points, this season is reminding me of 2001. we set off like a hosue on fire. knocked out of all cup competitions early, but managed to secure the league title for 3rd season in a row. funny it was same season barthez joined too. at times very good, but other times poor. similar to de gea... remember famous di canio goal (2001)..
liverpool did also win the league cup against championship side birmingham and won fa cup beat arsenal in final.
2001 was also meant to be pernultimate season for SAF, inital retirement season was 2002...
just also for the news mourinho just announced he is leaving Real Madrid at end of season for another premier league side.. is this us i wonder, reason why SAF not buying the signing we all know we need....

Can't stop laughing here lads after reading down all your posts/excuses. lol
It's was a terrible game to watch, with no incidents (on the pitch) whatsoever. Disney, GAGUS, etc grow up lads, you were beat fair and square. The one you should be blaming, is Slur Alex. Got it right in the 1st half but was very quickly found out by Kenny, in the 2nd. Slur Alex reverted back to a 4-4-2 and Kenny took full advantage, bringing Bellers and Kuyt on to be on the end of Carrols flick ons.
It's simple mathmetics I suppose. Slur Alex goes 4-4-2 and Kenny trumpt that with a 2-1.

Hi guys,
Just wanted to say that it was a good game today and we probably didnt deserve to win. You were excellent and I wish you luck in the other competitions you're involved. Genuine sincerity. Not all Liverpool fans are bitter.
BTW De Gea is still very young so dont be too harsh he is an excellent keeper. Comparing him to Schmeical is silly, Schmeical was experienced and confident when came, V.D.Sar had won 2 european cups played in 3 different leagues been in goal for Holland and already had 2 season with Fulham and was used to english league.
Give De Gea time and he will be a fantastic goal keeper.

Compare our current best XII with that of the 2008 season when we won the League and Champions League:
---------------- Van der Sar ----------------
Brown ----- Ferdinand ------- Vidic -----Evra
Ronaldo ---- Scholes ---- Hargreaves -- Giggs
-------------Rooney -------Tevez-------------
And now our best XII:
------------------ Lindegaard -----------------
Rafael ----- Ferdinand ------ Vidic --------Evra
Valencia ----- Cleverly ------ Carrick ----- Nani
------------Rooney --------Welbeck -----------
So where are we weaker? Well at CB we are now weaker, in goal (but that is being mended), and Evra isn't quite what he used to be. Also central midfield there isnt' as much there, whilst Cleverly COULD be great, he is not yet, and Hargreaves/Carrick do a smiliar role. And up top we are one striker worse off.
So a plan?
Buy a CB, LB, CM, Str - sounds simple. But who could we realistically have? We'd have to find players that would fit the system, that isnt easy. And i think we must splash the cash for the right players.
Subotic should be the number one defensive target, Cissokho as left back i think, Gotze/Gaitan, these lads would either play wings or through the middle and would be good business. And for a striker i'd go all out for van Persie because he is absolute class.
-------------------- Lindegaard ----------------
Rafael -------- Subotic ----- Vidic -----Cissokho
Valencia --- Cleverly/Gaitan/Gotze -- Carrick - Nani
-------------- Rooney --V. Persie---------------
That looks a better team for me!

Liverpool fan in peace.
Thought you were unlucky today and played some good possession football, even with missing some of your top players.
I thought our approach was overly defensive and could have caught us cold. I think your weak link is your keeper and I thought De Gea gifted us the game.

lay off de gea how is he meant to have confidence if fergie doesnt play him,the lad will come good and will be a top keeper.also how the f**k is wellbeck still getting a game he has the worst first touch ever and doesnt look like he knows what hes doin half the time and should have the gamr wrapped up for us today,and i think chicharito needs a run in the side now,so in a nutshell play de gea more dont play wellbeck cause he is s***e and play chicharito

I'm not advocating revolution over evolution or anything like that over one result, but the way these season is tailing off is something that we don't normally see - not in the second half of the season. We started very very well, and have got worse from then onwards.
Certain things have to be done - we can't rely on Giggs any longer, nor Scholes. Scholes was good today and shouldn't of gone off. I can't see why Giggs is playing 90 mins every match, he is looking a bit past it alot of the time and i really hope he (and Scholes) retire at the end of the campaign. Can we also stop all the rubbish that Pogba should of come on or something, if SAF thinks he's not ready than he's not. If he makes it here, then great.
Both goals were inexcusable in my view, really poor, poor goalkeeping (again) and poor defending for the other goal and i'm pretty fed up with it. Lindegaard has to start, De Gea is 6ft 2 and probably only ways about 10 stone, he needs to bulk up and broaden out. He looked like a midget in comparison to Agger, Carrol et al. If he were to do that and Lindegaard play until then then we'd all feel much more comfortable when the ball is in the box - i certainly feel very edgy.
Defence, where to begin. Evra was shocking again today but i don't think he'll go anywhere - he's the vice captain so will probably stay. So getting around that there are other areas that need work on (i hope Cissokho's agent was telling no lie in saying what he did). Rafael looked really good in fairness to him, him and his brother are class in my eyes, as is Smalling. Evans is good too i think. Vidic is a big loss and Ferdinand can't be relied on.
Midfield, loads of work probably needed, a winger, a central midfielder at the very least, a few should be replaced in my view but it probably wont happen.
It annoyed me that we only played 1 up top today, Welbeck is better than he showed today but what did we expect really? Welbeck fighting off Agger, Skrtel and Carragher? Very very unlikely really isnt it.
So, i hope this kicks Ferdie into action, it probably won't - but i hope it does! If the 6-1 didn't do something, or the Palace defeat then maybe this will be the last straw that broke the camels back? Fingers crossed people.

28 Jan 2012 18:48:51
You have to laugh at the scousers on here. Once a team who used to dominate Europe, now content to simply beat United once per season and call it a day. They have an obsession with beating United, and if they ever want to get back to the top, they'll need to get rid of that obsession. Just look at lfc, Danny, JRG, Blair and Jatt. All season long, they have taken the pi55 saying City this, City that, desperate to see us lose. They have used the 6-1 defeat put on us by another team as a way of getting one up on us in the past while, which says enough about their mentality. You may notice they have dropped points at home to Stoke, Swansea, Sunderland and Blackburn at Anfield. Then United come to town and they are pumped up for it, and ready to rumble. They have beaten us 3 out of 4 times since 2008 at Anfield. In 2009, they went into the game with a 4 game losing streak, and won 2-0, but immediately went out the next game and lost to Arsenal. Like I said, Liverpool's mentality is to simply beat United.
Onto today's game, I think we played much better than Liverpool. We kept the ball very well and Liverpool never looked like scoring from open play. But, the problem is when we had the ball, we had nowhere to go. We had no player in their who could deliver that final ball to to Welbeck. We don't need a midfielder who can hold onto the ball, we need someone between midfield and attack, who can give that final ball to the strikers. Ozil makes more and more sense every day. If we had an Ozil type player on the pitch today, we would've won the match easily. Giggs and Park were woeful today, and I have to wonder what Pogba is thinking when he sees 2 converted wingers playing ahead of him. He has to get a chance in the Europa. Would he have done any worse than Giggs or Park today?
Evra cost us the game today. He was out of position yet again and it is happening to frequently for us to keep him. A left back in the summer is absolutely essential, whether it's Alba, Izaguirre or whatever.
Welbeck is a very good young player, and has shown a lot of promise this season, but he can not play the lone striker role. We need a striker who can play that role brought in. Someone like Cavani or Higuain would be ideal. We also need a left winger who can supply crosses lie Valencia does. Shaqiri perhaps?
So for the summer:
Izaguirre
Ozil
Shaqiri
Higuain/Cavani
And for all of you on here criticising David de Gea, he is still young, he will only get better and trust me, he will be the best in the world. Mark my words.

28 Jan 2012 18:46:30
I'm finding it really embarrassing reading our fans' response to De Gea. Maybe he isn't any good/had a bad start/will be best in the world one day - never the less we sound like the scouse scum for jumping on bandwagons. Come on guys, it's like we're writing Daily Mail headlines.
Annoyed about today by the way, but although it's frustrating, I thought we played well. Shame Scholes came off but unfortunately if you aren't winning after 70 minutes and your best players are 1000 years old...you're buggered. Looking forward to players coming back next month.

28 Jan 2012 17:52:31
The morning after the Newcastle game I posted that failure brings change. So we have another failure today and I can only hope this is another result that brings us nearer to change.
We can hide behind injuries or look at the issues we are facing. The team today was a poor selection regardless of injury and brought about by the lack of purchases and lack of confidence in our youth. We could have got a draw but that would only hide the continuing and growing problems of decay. Our midfield lacked any zip or creativity,Evra gets caught out of position, Danny Welbeck is not top level and cant play the lone striker. De Gea is brought back I suspect to protect Lindegaard for Tuesdays battle with Stoke. De Gea looked rusty and I am not surprised. Before blaming him how many changes have there been in the defence in front of him and the protection of midfield infront of that.
I find it incredible we can go into a major game with a midfield including four players over 30 including two of 37plus. We have been duped, Scholes being heralded as the answer, forced out of retirement to cover the obvious issues with spending or the managers stubborness.
The other question is over the managers decision making, I shook my head when he brought Hernandez on for a midfield player because whilst we were not creating we were controlling midfield and would likely have earned a replay. You have to flood midfield at Anfield because they are patient and will wait for a chance. SAF should have learned from his previous visits there. It is a lack of a good No2 that cost him today. A good No2 would not have let him make that tactical blunder.
So out of the CL beaten by a Swiss team, beaten by Palace, now by Liverpool, if we lose the league to City then the failure will be a true slap in the face and should herald a change in attitude at the club, shaking it from this muddling through attitude.
SAF and the club have made insufficient investment and are now paying the price, the message is clear but will SAF hear it or will the Glazers keep the ship heading downwards.
In 2005 we were in a similar mess however then we had a young Rooney and Ronaldo now we dont.
You can coat it any way you like but the writing is on the wall whilst the club presents the team we had today plus trying to pretend that a returning 37year old is worth paying to watch more than a top purchase.
Liverpool have nothing to crow about they played poorly and didnt deserve to beat an ageing decaying team. I will wait for the in fergie we trust brigade to say all is well and injuries are the cause but take a look at the teams SAF has selected all season and the same trait runs through it. If I were Pogba and Morrison I would move on if the answer is Scholes, Giggs and Park.
Todays episode is another stepping stone towards enforced change and that is the positive I am taking from it.

28 Jan 2012 17:52:08
Well, firstly Well done Liverpool, we may have been 'better' than you with possession, etc. but You put the ball in the net when it needed to be done.
I didn't think De Gea was all that bad today, the commentators went way overboard and every time the ball went near him they were slagging him off.
Yes, the first goal may of been down to him but my question is why did Agger have a free header?
But yeah, Well played Liverpool. I think you look a much better outfit when you play to Carroll's strengths, if you somebody who simply was a goal getter and used Carroll in the target man role you would be a far better looking side than you have been previously.
But yeah, well done no excuses, no complaints you done the important thing and outscored us.

28 Jan 2012 17:38:39
Thought it was a poor game today by both teams but I won't complain about the result.
IMO the only difference between the teams was the goalkeepers, I thought De Gea could have done better With both goals, I would have been disappointed if Reina had conceded those.
My main relief is that the match passed without any major controversies.

28 Jan 2012 17:35:41
We lacked a clinical edge in attack, but had our most penetrative players (Rooney, Nani, Young?, Anderson, Cleverly) not available. A good performance from the players that were available, our young players will learn from this experience. The team is in a transitional phase, but still competitive, cannot expect to win every season, not realistically feasable, look at any of the major teams across the continent. Some good young players coming through, supplemented with a fee shrewd purchases and we will be in a strong position to compete on all fronts.
28 Jan 2012 17:26:40

Wenger goes and buys the first round of drinks ,Boas second, Redknapp 3rd,Fergie 4th and kenny buys the next but fergie complains 'Where's mine?!' but kenny replies 'sorry pal, this is the 5th round and your not in it' haha get in red men

28 Jan 2012 17:14:21
The cleverest bit of tactics today was substituting Rodregez immediately after his two footed lunge before the ref can red card him. I am not saying he would have, but Dogleash made it very easy for him so he didn't have to make decision. I wonder what Micah Richards was thinking when a Liverpool player handled in his own area after it came up from his foot. Welbeck once again showed what I have always said about him, another Andy Cole good instinctively, but give him time to think and he will fluff it. Remember we played one up front without someone who can hold the ball up (berba's speciality).
28 Jan 2012 16:59:24
I'm annoyed we lost, yes, but I don't know what annoys me more. Getting stick for losing, or "United" fans coming on here whinging saying that's it we're done for, it's all downhill from here and we must get rid of Fergie.
Get a grip, we're still second by only 3 points after playing badly for lots of the seaon and having lots of injuries, unlike City. Have some faith, we're in transition and will bounce back. Fergie's done it several times and will again. He's shown he knows what he's doing by signing Jones in the summer.
We still controlled most of the game, imagine if Jones, Nani and Rooney had been fit, we quite possibly would have had the control, and more of a goal threat.
Yes we need players and I suspect it'll happen in the summer, but have faith in Fergie.
Yes, Liverpool beat us.
Yes, we've got several injuries.
But at least we can win the league and will get into the Champions League.... Unlike a particular bunch managed by a guy who I swear thinks he is a dog...
Woof!

28 Jan 2012 16:54:12
honestly speaking, nobody deserved to win today.....draw was fair i would say.we were wasteful infront of goal today.danny welbeck needs to be benched.before u people jump on my back let me explain the reason for saying so...u can see that danny still lacks that final decision making ability. ie whether to pass to a player in a better position or shoot.
it's not just about this game...he does it in every game.when rooney is along side him, you can see rooney getting frustrated sometimes bcoz of danny..you cannot shoot all the time especially if ur shooting is not top class.play hernandez and he gives you so much more mobility.and with valencia in such good form, he will convert them into goals bcoz he is ten times better than danny at finishing and plus he is unselfish.REDDEVIL FOR LIFE
28 Jan 2012 16:50:54
Well if you do want some positives guys here goes,
1- we have practically a full first team to come back from injuries.
2- we were the better team overall just didn't land the winning goal-that happens,
3 - we now have no exscuse for not concentrating on the PL and have no other games to fit in.
4 - fletcher is playin/coaching with the reserves so obviously on the better side of things-great news.
5 - things for us can only get better- if we now go on to win the league we will all be happy and it will have been an okay season after all.
6- lfc are as ever not even in contention for the PL

28 Jan 2012 16:40:27
Embarrassing! Life long united fan here, this team is not united! De Gea awful! Why has Fergie put him in ahead of Lindgaard? He cant cope with crosses or any physical challenges. That donkey upfront for liverpool has been crap all season but looked dangerous against us, why? Well the answer to that is Johnny Evans! How on earth is he a Man u player i will never know. Giggs is united through and through and deserves much respect but come on fergie he's 38! He just isnt good enough!
Welcome any replies but before you say no value in the January market, well there has been value in the summer window as proven by other teams.
There has been value in the last four, five years of summer windows. How long ago did Ronaldo leave? Who did we replace him with? Keane? Neville? Scholes?(until now) Giggs replacement?
Pull your finger out Ferguson stop believing your own hype, you got schooled by Toon, Blackburn, the scousers, Basle.
God help us in Europe!

fergie has wasted 18.5 million on de gea,amos looks
a better keeper than him,that money could of gone
towards a top midfielder we all know we need instead of having to get a 37 year old out of retirement even though he is a great player.
fergie needs to freshen up the squad with at least
one new face before the end of this month or we could have a very long end of the season with
nothing to play for.
28 Jan 2012 15:54:28
and another thing i also wonder,,
why sometimes cant we be more direct in front of goal rather than stringing passes and over acheiving in over confidence..
i am not against it because it really helps us break down teams parking their buses and looks spectacular too..but sometimes it would really be encouring to many players to shoot directly for eg valencia today at starting minutes..would get us more results i often think so.the players should believe more often in their shooting abilities
surz
28 Jan 2012 15:47:33
for me our tactics was completely wrong..all we did was stringing passes to one anothe behind and in mid field,,there was no certain urgency to attack which was the lacking factor to put the game to bed.we had a lot of possesion but certainly did lack intent to drive forward and score
after the park goal during the end of first half and starting of second half,,we were just trying to stay away from their goal.
previously in league meeting @ anfield also,,we didnt show that desire to win..just played for a draw,,and basicly did the same today also..
fergie and his tactics..he knows
surz
p.s.miss those open play days.certainly more entertaining and got us results too
28 Jan 2012 15:26:13
I think that we shouldn't be too negative about the performance today. The game was extremely close and could have gone either way or ended as a draw. As it was, the goal went to Liverpool so fair play to them for sticking at it. As a team, I don't think we were too poor, not perfect but then we never were going to be with so many out. I thought Smalling and Rafael played very well and some of Scholes's passes were outstanding. Welbeck shouldn't play up front on his own again as he was extremely isolated. If we had Rooney, Nani, Vidic etc. then the result may have been different but we weren't up to strength and Liverpool got the win unfortunately-nothing more to it than that.

28 Jan 2012 15:20:28
Danny Welbeck was poor today - sorry . I thought we bossed the midfield but up front we were awful . Would love to see a CLASS goalscorer in the squad to help convert the chances that are being created.
How I wish Scholesy was 10 years younger as he was superb today, shame that others around him weren't !!

28 Jan 2012 15:19:02
I know after every defeat we flame this site, blaming this and that since we are all annoyed but seriously how much longer will people tolerate it and keep defending it? I don't care what injuries we have, we are out of the Champions league, league cup and now the FA cup and its only January! Its been a miserable season and no excuse will disguise that fact.
Today, again evra went missing, degea getting out muscled and no attacking presence up front if rooney isn't playing, why can't people see we really lack quality players. AND no, please don't cry that we got quality youth since you go and watch them. If they can't get on now they are not good enough so why expect us to wait 1 or 2 years. We need it now!
I know its hard for people to accept and will die to defend their team but get real, we have issues. We can have all the possession of the day but if you can't do nothing with it we will never win. We are no longer the all conquering team, at times we look in disarray and we playing with a lot of 2nd rate players that lack pace and cutting edge. We won't win things like this and if they don't fix it soon the empire will crumble! SO please no more excuses.
28 Jan 2012 15:13:53
First of all, I don't care how disappointed any of us are, you have to give credit to some of our players for the way they performed. With the amount of players injured, going to Anfield and keeping possession the way we did. And our compusure was excellent at times. Such a shame that the mistake which eventually cost us had to come from Pat, thought he dealt with the atmosphere tremendously well. Rafeal and Valencia looked good down the right and Welbeck really impressed me up front on his own (as I didn't think he could play that role). De Gea will get slated again but I'm not jumping to criticise him for the goals. There was so many bodies around him in the first that it was very difficult. He did make a couple of other errors though once the nerves got to him a bit...
But overall I thought we were the better team, and that itself is something considering.

28 Jan 2012 15:11:50
This is the worst kind of game to lose. United were in total control, Scholes was giving the Liverpool midfield a lesson in possession football and yet we gift them two goals. How long have we been reflecting on games where Evra has cost goals by being caught out of position?

The only positive from the match was to see Rafael playing well. He was arguably our best player, he was winning tackles, attacking, running the ball, defending well, and even provided the assist. I wish he doesn't injured now.

We were the better team, but like I said that means nothing in a football match. Strange decision to play DDG today, he was always going to be targeted and he has not played for 4/5 games. Surely you stick with the same keeper? Very strange decision by the manager. First goal would have been avoided with Anders in goal. Second goal was a tale of three consecutive mistakes, Carrick didn't even attempt to win the header, Evra out of position (Again) and DDG should have done better. Up until then Liverpool never looked like scoring, taking Scholes off ruined our momentum and IMO lost us the game. We badly missed the trickery of Nani, the goal threat of Rooney, but most of all we are missing Vidic and a LB that can defend. Well done Liverpool, credit where it's due, you had a plan albeit a negative one, but it paid off for you.

Sloppy. Really sloppy. Scholes should never have been taken off. He was controlling the game. Ryan Giggs should have been the man to give way as I lost count of the number of times he misplaced a pass or got caught on the ball. I dont know what Welbeck was thinking having a shot from there. As soon as he did it, I was cursing that he had given possession straight back to them...and they punished us for it. Yet again they let us down against one of our biggest rivals. If I want to watch possession football with no end product then I'll go watch Arsenal. Then again there is no need now as we are going the same way. I dont care about injuries. We didnt lose because of our injury list, we lost because we arent capable of keeping up our concentration for a full 90 minutes.

Is Dalglish called Dogleash because everytime you see him on the touchline he's got his mouth open with his tongue showing? :p

Liverpool are going with the back ten, United dominating the first half, Liverpool hoping for set pieces so they can surround DDG and score that way.

Giggs scholes park carrick how old are we in middle
28 Jan 2012 12:46:54
Would have preferred hernandez up front with Wellbeck both have pace and goals in them and playing Giggs and Scholes from start means that they will both need to be replaced as neither can finish a full match and Carrick will need to have a blinder of a match as he will be the legs for scholes and Giggs.

So Suarez is walking round the pitch with his daughter - milking the applause from the f**ls -
Liverpool - no class - no style - no sense- no shame

Liverpool have gone 5 at the back, and who said we'd be parking the bus?
28 Jan 2012 12:04:38
__________De Gea
Rafael__Smalling_Evans__Evra
Valencia__Carrick__Scholes__Park
_____________Giggs
______Welbeck
Not too sure how I feel about that. Giggs and Scholes both in midfield means the others will have to do alot of their running.

Will Keane & Paul Pogba on the bench, we have no Rooney, Nani, Ferdinand or Jones. Very worrying. Liverpool are playing with a back five.

I honestly think the lack of activity in this window is partially down to SAF's stubborness, but also due to the contractual issues with Pogba and Morrison (Pogba in particular). They are definitly part of SAF's plans and if they stay at the club i don't honestly feel he wants to compromise their position in the side.
With that in mind a central midfielder in the summer would probably be a luxury, never mind buying one now. Rodwell is probably the only one we will go for, being English. Other areas will be strengthened in summer, but don't expect central midfield to be one necessarily.

hi never posted before just read the comments just wondering to what everone thought everyone goes on about the pogba n morrison stuff which is getting boring nobody seems to mention the reserves captian petrucci just wondered y ?

Predicted line ups for today people?
I'm going for:
----------------De Gea
-Rafael ----Smalling -----Evans ----Evra
Valencia ----Jones/Carrick ---Giggs --Park
------------Berbatov -----Welbeck-------
That'll be good enough for a win im sure.

I actually dont think it will be a nasty game at all. competitive yes. but the players will be made aware that thae ref wont take any nonsense and will want to make an example of the first players to go in too hard.
28 Jan 2012 11:04:22
Does anyone here know who all have travelled for the game ?
28 Jan 2012 10:30:57
Have a sneaky feeling Utd will score a few today, I'm going for 3-1. Up the reds!

Ive heard that Giggs,Ferdinand,Rooney,Carrick ,Nanni and possibly Jones are all out today and wont be risked ahead of next weeks games against Stoke and Chelsea,which the manager feels are more important.If this info is true Uniteds team today will look something like this :
De Gea
Smalling Evans Evra
Raffael Pogba Scholes Park Fabio
Wellbeck Berba

think we'll get a draw today, i would of said a win but with it being a 12.45 kickoff and us being terrible at early kickoffs i can't see us playing too well.
1-1, adam/gerrard (pen), welbeck.
28 Jan 2012 08:34:17
Great to read that Darren Fletcher is currently coaching the reserves. Respect to Fergie for keeping Darren involved and like Scholes, he will be a great role model for the younger kids. Lovely gesture.
Good luck to the lads for today

talk of freddy guarin going to inter......he would suit us very nicely.....tough no-nonsense midfielder ...not injury pprone either.........and we should be able to get him for around 15 million.......
