Missed the penalty incident, but the SG sending off was harsh.

after watching the effort from the players after going down to 10 men.. im optimistic indeed about the rest of the season.

I remember saying that after our opening game of the season

But yeah, i agree. We looked good, even if we did lose.. We should destroy Blackpool!

Considering the circumstances that was a really encouraging performance.
Hope the lads take heart.
I don't think Webb is a deliberate cheat but you have to question why he gets so many games at OT.
Kelly was excellent and Johnson will really have to fight for his place now.
Welcome back Kenny

Even though we lost today, first time I have enjoyed a Liverpool match in ages. Amazing what a change in tactics can do, also looking to attack seemed to energise some of our players.

The form of Torres though, is still a concern, maybe Kenny can sit down with him, and work it out. Kelly was excellent, as was Danny penalty aside, what can you say about Pepe "5 saves a minute" Reina the guys a legend. We need to work on our play in the last third, but hopefully the younger players coming in today will give them a lift.

Finally pleasure to see and hear the interview of Kenny, roll on the rest of the seasson.

All I will say is how good does it feel to just be complaining about referees rather than our own manager?!

This, very much this.

Feels weird.

Lost to the mancs but i still feel happy.

Much better by the lads.

Bring on Blackpool.

What a day for Jonjo Shelvey, great to see him on.

Don't think Lucas was best pleased with his free kick attempt!

Shame we didn't create a few more chances second half, Fabio's freekick was excellent but as a keeper
Kuszcazk knew exactly what he had in mind.

We saw pride and passion in the shirt, a better formation, some truly excellent defending, all in all it was a proper cup
tie aswell but Webb ruined the game with the peno decision.

Our domestic trophy season is over unfortunately but we still have the Europa League to fight for.

Kenny could only offer his tuppence worth today as he said himself, facing into the derby without Stevie is a tough prospect
but it gives someone else a chance.

By the way anyone notice the unfortunate timing when the ITV cameras showed one of our supporters in full voice?

We were so good.The players were up to it(except Nando).
Webb won it for them.

I think this would give us more time to think about the Premier league.Another replay,and Webb would have sent 2 more.6 game bans.

Ste08 · « **Reply #167 on:** January 9, 2011, 03:36:43 pm »

The lads more than matched them and would have got a replay if it wasn't that bent cheat Howard Webb. Have no complaints with them today, onwards and upwards. Expect that same commitment each and every week.

Forest Hills · « **Reply #168 on:** January 9, 2011, 03:36:46 pm »

Ref ruined the game for me today. United won by default, a penalty that should never have been. Webb was 25 fucking yards away from the incident, he bottled it.
That aside, I thought Kelly had a great game. A definite improvement on recent performances, and I think we can take a lot of positivity from this and go on to improve recent form. Let's get 3 points at Blackpool and take it from there.

rushyman · « **Reply #169 on:** January 9, 2011, 03:36:46 pm »

Speechless. So proud of the performance and Webb has to be investigated at Old trafford. Im serious

Proud of that performance. Almost everyone deserves some credit but Torres needs a rocket up the arse.

was well happy with that performance from the boys tho onwards and upwards

smicer07 · « **Reply #172 on:** January 9, 2011, 03:37:06 pm »

Couple of points really. It's great to actually have a plan B, for starters. Also, it's great to have a manager that has the balls to take Torres off. Finally, we actually look like we're working hard!

Raoul Duke · « **Reply #173 on:** January 9, 2011, 03:37:08 pm »

A great battling defensive performance - lacked a lot going forward, but that's something we can improve. The fight was back. The fans were united together and excellent throughout. It wasn't an appalling result given the circumstances...

Which leads me away from our twelfth man, and to the Mancs' H. Webb. Consistently their star player. One who stands up to be counted for the big games. Puts in a performance when it matters.

Stussy · « **Reply #174 on:** January 9, 2011, 03:37:09 pm »

Fuck all those cliches about taking positives from a defeat - Kenny made good decisions, set us up well, and we performed well. Instant improvement in performance.

Manc c*nts could only beat us because of a diving Berbatov, shite referee, couldn't even add another against 10 men. Pathetic.

woof · « **Reply #175 on:** January 9, 2011, 03:37:16 pm »

Torres needs to improve his attitude. Bad body language

Scribble8 · « **Reply #176 on:** January 9, 2011, 03:37:27 pm »

Fucking fuming.

I did agree to everything Kenny did though. The starting line up and the subs were spot on imo. Much better performance if it means anything (it really doesnt as we are out).

TheTeflonJohn · « **Reply #177 on:** January 9, 2011, 03:37:32 pm »

I can see plenty of positives from that game. I thought the defensive side was much better, Kelly had a great game, a real prospect. Babel looked positive and great to see Agger back in the middle. If it wasn`t for Howard imamanccuntonthefuckinpayrole Webb we might have got something there.

Anyways onwards and upwards under the king

Howard Webb MOTM.

Was all over the pitch, had the assist for Yernited's goal. Bossed midfield, such was his influence you'd think Gerrard wasn't even on the pitch. Was a danger with every set piece of the match and was only let down by his team mates to keep the score @ 1-0.

LMAO

007.lankyguy · « **Reply #179 on:** January 9, 2011, 03:37:38 pm »

I thought the Gerrard red card was fair enough. Very silly from Gerrard. But Berbatov dived for the penalty. Honestly don't understand why players don't get 2/3 match ban for diving. Walcott admitted diving to try and win a penalty yesterday. Yet he won't get anything. So simple.

Good performance from us today. We passed the ball around along the floor and I liked the look of our midfield in the first half until we went down to 10 men. Lucas, Meireles and Gerrard interchanging in the centre and Kelly had a very good half. Second half we couldn't really do much about but we kept United from scoring and they lacked any sort of cutting edge which I think we deserve some credit for.

More positives than negatives to take away from the game. We need a win at Blackpool though.

Two shocking decisions? The red card was blatant

De Jong against Alonso was blatant, but we all know what happend there.

By no means was Gerrard's blatant. There should be clear day light when making such decisions in a key match like this.

litliper · « **Reply #184 on:** January 9, 2011, 03:37:58 pm »

Overslept and missed the first half (which was ok in retrospect I guess) but I liked what I saw in the second half. Some passion and will. The King is back and not even a defeat at that shitehole could overcome the joy of seeing him in the dugout. Kelly MOTM.

Red Emperor · « **Reply #185 on:** January 9, 2011, 03:37:59 pm »

thought kelly had a brilliant match today, agger and skrtel did well we need another striker to come in and challenge torres thought he had a n average game

Rafael plays for united, Gerrard plays for Liverpool. That's the difference

Deadly 60 · « **Reply #187 on:** January 9, 2011, 03:38:11 pm »

bear with me as typing on a phone. disappointment in losing but not disappointed with the team. considering how we have been recently outplayed by wolves & bkackburn, to go away to the undefeated league leaders and match them almost the whole bar one dodge penalty I think there is every chance we can finish this season in the top 6. still hate losing to them but confident we will have 6 points end of next weekend.

It's for another time and another topic, but I wouldn't cry if Torres and/or Gerrard decided to leave the club. Other than that I am happy with today's performance!

careful on these streets, I've heard stories · « **Reply #190 on:** January 9, 2011, 03:38:14 pm »

Much, much better from us Kelly IMO should be our RB because he brings defensive solidity we apparently lack atm, let Johnson play RM

I had almost forgotten how exciting Liverpool matches could be. Even if we lost, this was a very very good match and I'm looking forward to seeing more soon.

SpartanTree. No deccies or lights. · « **Reply #192 on:** January 9, 2011, 03:38:29 pm »

Massive improvement with regard to effort, team spirit and keeping the ball on the deck.

Was always gonna be hard after we went down to 10 but I'm proud of the commitment shown by the lads today.
Kelly, Agger (my MOTM) & Reina were immense at the back, Lucas put in a good shift as did Dirk but I'm definately optimistic for the rest of the season.

Can't understand why SG when in 2 footed ? If he wanted to clatter Carrick he should have followed through with his trailing leg - would have got away with a yellow at most. That rush of blood cost us today.

Disagree. Torres was running to get the ball again, and that, for me, shows that he is up for it again. All played very well, but disappointed for a silly challenge by Gerrard. Well done lads, and a special mention to Kelly.

Webb doing his job for the Manc again.I'm just glad there is no more hoofing even when down to 10 men.showed commitment & heart so the priority is the league and Europa now.

Would have loved o have seen the result had it been 11 v 12. Ah well the players looked up for it, thought shevley was gonna get sent off way he played when he came on, a lot of passion. Also good to see Torres be ok having been subbed. Imagine the media's reaction of he went off in a mood!

Well done lads, let's tw*t Blackpool now!
