Topic: Man Utd vs Liverpool-In Game Commentary & Post game shite...

[Gobias Industries]

And Rafa did it in spades so sod off.

Rafa's gone. Get over it.

[lfctitch]

Probably for the best they got the winner, us drawing would of dampened the atmosphere during the post-game glass of wine between Roy and the drunk.

I'm not saying anything to that... But I did see the hug

[Bob Loblaw]

Roy, you're a coward.

Why have us sit back and wait for the inevitable when United were rocking?

We can't defend crosses into the box, we haven't got the players to man mark on set-pieces. Short your shit out or be prepared for a very very short stay as Liverpool manager.

Show some fucking balls.

And enjoy your glass of wine Sir Alex.

[INABITSKI]

I don;t know if to try and look for the positives or the negatives and moan and whinge about them. My head doesn't know what to think after that. Apart from being pissed off losing to them fuckers.

[himz.9]

Those who say Maxi should start need to think again... He offers zilch. And it's not just in this game....

Proud of the players, and pleased for Stevie... Great change of mentality compared to last season... Good finishing for both the penalty and the free kick.

Plus Poulson played his role very, very well today I though !

[Mr Dilkington]

And Rafa did it in spades so sod off.

No matter what you say , we were never that negative at Old trafford from the get go under Rafa.

[Lord Roger Hunt]

I disagree that Hodgson got things badly wrong today. To be honest, the level of double standards here is amazing and the pro-Rafa and anti-Hodgson brigade seem to be intent on this being the norm. No point even bothering reviewing the game to be honest.

Spot on.

[FernandoTourettes]

Agree with comments from the match day commentary boys regarding team set up. We didn't look right at all in the first half. Proud of the second half comeback but it was clear as day that we were inviting pressure and crosses in the box. Something we were not dealing with at all well in the first half.

Just not looking a team at the moment.

Alex Ferguson on Sky Sports just now " when it was 2-0, I thought it was going to be 10".

That actually does some up how badly we played up until that point.

[Learpholl]

Poulsen; how he's keeping Lucas out the team I don't know.

What did he do wrong today? I thought he was very good. Some great tackles, kept the ball moving and was part of a lot of neat play in our midfield. I like Lucas but I think Poulsen justified his selection today.

[ThatYungstarrYNWA]

Chelsea, Arsenal, and United would have gone in for the kill after equalizing from down two, regardless of where they are playing.

[Dave_the_Red]

BBC Sport's Phil McNulty at Old Trafford: "Manchester United had time to recover from losing their lead this week and they fully deserved to win, with Dimitar Berbatov producing a masterclass. They were vastly superior to an ordinary Liverpool."

says all i need to know



i did not watch, my passion for the club has gone, thank you hicks  and  gillette

[bakstabba]

Why Why Why? Do we sit back when they're for the taking?

[classycarra]

massive mistake taking meireles off. roy lost sight of reality thinking that jovanovic could run at uniteds slow defence, forgetting that meireles was one of the few players moving the ball and getting forward. was not a game to bring on jovanovic

[-Nay-]

[jaffod]

Sat Back waiting for them to score the third.

So did I.

[Garstonite]

Shithouse tactics from a shithouse manager.

G'night.

[Pheeny]

Skirtle and Carra at the back does not work.

[LiverBirdKop]

Gutted. hard to maintain a result when the opposing team gets a free pass everywhere but the box.

2-2 would've been very very flattering. Cole when he doesn't have the ball is just another observer.

[Borninbethlehem]

Meh. Why did he take off Meireles? We had them at 2-2, they were kakking themselves.

Only Roy can answer that mate.

[astowell1]

...Well we tried...right?

[Discipline]

We can't defend in the air for shit. That's all I got to say. MU deserved the win, though before Stevie's brace, we never looked like playing/winning. MOTM goes to Stevie. Defended the best for us, scored a brace, and kept going FORWARD. So much for an attacking formation...

[rednich85]

Oh and for the record....this Utd team is fucking rubbish and will be 10 points off Chelsea at the end of the season.

[Visigoth33]

Roy's honeymoon is crashing back to earth.defense was abysmal and made berbatov look great.

[bordeauxred]

 Got excited for about 20 mins when we scored our 2 goals as I thought we might grab a point but after that nothing..... Thought Poulsen was awful and Cole was pretty rubbish- as for Torres he must have some weighty problems on his mind as seemed completely out of it.


 

[astrored]

Considering that we are an Europa League club, and that we were playing away at a title contender, I think that we did OK ...

Some mid-table teams perform better at Old Trafford.  Is 16th place mid-table?

[chiplege]

We somehow get back into the game and Roy kills our momentum with two ridiculous subs. Sighs.

. Exactly fuckin clueless sit back instead

[LSURED20]

How Cole stayed on for the full 90 is baffling to me. Raul had been our best player and he comes off, while Cole stays on? I like Cole as a player, but today he was was worse than a non factor

[Mingle]

Considering that we are an Europa League club, and that we were playing away at a title contender, I think that we did OK ...

ouch...! it hurts becuase it's true...! :-(

come someone please tell what maxi brings to this team ? he is shocking! or am i not seeing other things he does which dont show up on the TV!

[BCCC]

The winner was disgraceful defending from Carra. He was outmuscled and out jumped by Berbatov, Not good enough.

not gonna totally disagree with that but he's strong in the air and if you rewind a little then we were poor at stopping crosses coming into the box all game.

[Jack the Red]

We've got defenders everywhere, we play a defensive formation and we still look like we'll concede everytime a team comes near us.

This is the problem. I don't have any confidence in our defensive play at the moment.

Too little too little

YNWA

Thanks for the compliment, didn't think I did to well today, but I didn't realise I was doing it till 5 minutes after it started.

I think Raul was a huge plus today

[Robert_B]

...Well we tried...right?

Did we?

[careful on these streets, I've heard stories]

Meireles should have played 90 mins

Torres needs to sort himself out

Agger should be partnering Carra

Meireles should play behind Gerrard

Not happy with our performance no invention too many sideways passes

[BristolRed]

This season is really pissing me off. I know we have new players, yadda, yadda,yadda but we still should be doing a lot better than we are. Is Roy more negative than Rafa was? At 2 all, why not put Babel on and hit them with pace especially when both centre backs were on yellow cards?

I don't think United are up to much this season and Chelsea are gonna piss this league this year. Too early for the where will we finish thread but I am suspecting I will be happy with Top 8 at this point. Sad state of affairs really. Shite weekend all round, Hicks' plans for refinancing and now a defeat to the Mancs. I need a pint.

[I will always be singing YNWA]

Players ratings are not allowed on RAWK

[sisterbliss]

We sat back after it became 2-2, they were all over us. Almost a matter of time after that.

Story of our lives, the complacency to sit back after getting the second goal was nothing more than we have witnessed for lets face it years.

[Raoul Duke]

All the criticism of Hodgson, yet Benitez lost there by the same goal difference playing exactly the same football last season. Typical.

[Stretch Armstrong]

Sat back and invited Man U to attack us even after we equalised and had the mancs on their back foot.  Roy's tactics were poor and he doesn't change them despite how shite it's going.  Also his subs were just a pile of shite.

It's only been 5 league games but Roy as a lot to learn and fast

[RedAtHeart]

EMELYNEVERMORE comments:

"Hey,

Did you see the kick Scholes gave to Poulsen after the Dane blocked off his run a few minutes back?  Right behind Howard Webb, who turned around and gave Scholes a ticking-off but nothing more.

If anyone watches the match again, you'll see it in the bottom left corner of the screen in our half around the 78-79 minute mark.  Unbelievable."


Will watch out for it when I watch this match again tommorow...

Just rewinded the match back, look at 79:20. Kicks down Poulsen. Not a hard kick, but nasty and far off the ball. Shame the linesman didnt see that.
