Jesus that was never a corner ,

you have to question linesman's common sense sometimes

if evra got the ball how on earth could it go out for a corner :rolleyes:

I thought it was a dive as it happened. Upon watching the replay I still think it was a dive. Didnt think Dimitar was like that, very disappointed. Never a pen imo, not enough contact to warrant a foul.

Torres looking as asleep as usual.

Its the way the sport has gone in the last while and personnally I've giben up careign about footnall over the last 18 months. I got back to playing rugby and withing weeks my interest in playing and watchign football had started to drift. At this stage I onyl bother watching football when I'm sitting here and it's on. I wont go out of my way for it. Up tp the season before last I travelled over a couple of times a year too. Theres just so much to dislike about it now and its easy to turn away when theres something else there . Dissallusionned would probably be the best way to describe it. The sport needs an overhaul on plenty of levels.

absolutely, its pish! But thats the way it is ATM so the ref has to give a pen for it. Retrospective cards or bans for diving is the only way i can think would stop it. Every club has a diver or two

The Pool are playing United off the park here.

IvySlayer

This reminds me of something

Ronaldo scores an early penalty, and then Liverpool wake up to score a few goals.

Liverpool are better atm.

Le King

Wrong ball there by Kelly

Torres' touch has been awful so far, dissapointed.
Liverpool actually playing some good stuff.

I'm delighted with the start (besides the scoreline obviously). This Utd team can definitely be got at. We've seen this season they can easily crumble.

Good play from pool

Bet you all the Liverpool fans on here don't turn on Dalglish if they get thumped today.

They are fully entitled to all the compensation, they glorified their injury for by law, but its by no means right.

It is what's ruining football.

Yeah, much more up for it.

2nd or 3rd time liverpool ghosting into the box without being picked up at all there. Thank feck for Gerrard's belief he should shoot from anywhere and everywhere or we might have been in trouble.

Mr.Crinklewood

Liverpool the better team so far. Unbiased commentary on Setanta.

shotamoose

Good to see Liverpool passing the ball around well, makes a nice change.

anybody who tells me there's not already a difference in Liverpool's play needs their head beaten by Roy's LMA award.

better closing, and we're not afraid to pass the ball.

Lucas is having a great game.

Torres is not, and Evans has him in his pocket so far,

ShooterSF

Evans looking like he has a point to prove

i'm as impressed with how we're trying to keep the ball.

Yep far more effort from the players, and there is already a massive shift in our tactics today.

The defending deep tactic is gone, and we are trying to move the ball forward when in possession.


The style of play today is already lights years ahead of what we have been "treated" to for most of the season to date. We actually look a threat to a good team like United today, whereas under Hodgson the tactics were a total joke as were many of the team selections.


I think the big difference is that the players know that they have to fight hard under Dalglish as it will be expected, but under Hodgson they did not have that fear as second rate was seemingly acceptable.

Kellys after starting well for the oul enemy, hope i just put the mockers on that.:D

If they're fully entitled to the compensation, then why shouldn't they get it?
I agree diving is ruining football, but Berbatov's was by no means the worst dive this season or even this week, there is a claim for Agger making contact with him, he didn't trip over fresh air or anything.

Eh, were you not thanking people who are saying it was a pen?? I guess I dont understand, if he dived like Gerrard did there......

Because it was a pen! And it was also a dive. Just illustration that when you live by the sword you have to be prepared to die by the sword.

Mr.Nice Guy

Oh ffs Beglin. I normally like him but try and be a bit objective.

Le King

Is Beglin watching the match?

Football absolutely has to introduce video referees.

All strikers would have dived in Berba's position.

The sport turns honest players into dishonest ones.

Another one that needs to learn the rules, even with Video evidence it was still a Penalty.:rolleyes:

TheProdigy

I was only stating a simple fact, didn't know it would cause such animosity. Maybe its hitting a nerve with the United crowd, apologies.

Quazzie

Howard Webb is a United fan through and through. I really can't understand why the league insists on giving him United games to ref.

Torres' attitude stinks

Really happy how we are playing. The long ball from the backline has disappeared, under Roy that's all we did!

Yeah he missed the high foot and the contact! Doesn't suit him to see that though

Fairly normal consequence of changing a manager mid-season.

It's how the rest of the season pans out which will tell if there's any real difference.

in effort, yes, i always expected it.

but the way we're playing with the ball is miles ahead of what Hodgson has been having us do.

Not much difference to the Chelsea game TBH. Consistancy is whats needed.

Liverpool looking like they're not really paying attention the last 5 minute or so, some poor play.

Liverpool played United at Old Trafford already this season. The difference in attitude, effort and style of play between today and then is massive.

Scrappy passage of play, both teams misplacing passes
