FA CUP 3rd Round: Manchester Utd v Liverpool (Match Thread) Mod Warning #214 - READ!

Liam O

Look at the Berba penalty incident, he takes a step with his right foot and the contact then takes effect on his left foot and it gives way, not a dive imo.

PHB

Thought Liverpool played well.

Well done on your win, but as far as Liverpool and our fans go, you just don't get it. But that's ok.

I echo that. Good accurate post imo

Yakult

Meh, game was decided by a peno and tbh it was a game that could have gone eitherway on a different day.

Impressed with Liverpool's fight back with 10 men, played with some pride and passion. Just unlucky not to get anything from it.

At least we don't have to worry about tiredness for the spurs game cos that was a stroll really even with resting players. :rolleyes:

I wasnt aware he was ever much use tbh. It was definately a wince moment where I heard Roy signed him.

Yeah, that was a strange one alright. There have been a few in the last 3/4 seasons!

Credit to liverpool today though, that was a good performance when you factor in everything

Sparta Prague will rip you lot apart if you play like that

Jeasus I dont know what sort of women people are but that was a good tough passionate tackle and a yellow was well enough.

I wonder will kenny appeal the straight red so?

Very doubtful,he knows not to because he is a rational man and knows straight red tackle when he sees one.

I agree, they did well against a good United side with Berba in great form, in their own backyard, especially when they went down so early.

Lets home Pool are back and the proper banter with it!

I hope United get Leeds.

rossie1977

aurelio again with a tricky portuguese winger in his pocket, at least he can say hello to his mate ronaldo there now, easily liverpools best defending left back outside his few sloppy passes

ryan giggs 37 years of age, terrific, what a player

the game was over as a contest after 30mins, utd are good enough to not need the refs help, they will go on win the up cup now have no doubts

I wouldn't say it's bitter, I'm so ****en jealous, I would love if Liverpool had that influence over refs, it must be worth 7 or 8 pts a season

Yourself and all the other people saying it was a pen should do yourselves a favour and just admit it was a dive. Even the man himself couldn't keep a straight face when he was asked about it ffs.

ITV commentator put it nicely

That summed up Manchester Utds poverty today, all the advantages and they just get across the line.

Martin Kelly was excellent today they tried to pressure him all afternoon but got little for it. The whole side dug in well.

Very much so, 1-0 up, a man advantage (possibly two if you're a cynic ) after 20 minutes and they were resorting to holding the ball up. Especially given an under strength, out of form Blackburn blew 11 man Liverpool away a few days before.

Liverpool's man marking was shocking though. Zonal marking is required..

Why is it LOL, Im being completely serious. It is a simple fact that Howard webb is extremely biased towards united, why in every game between the teams he ref's there are very very biased, unfair and questionable decisions in united's favour.

Dont worry liverpool supporters. The best teams go out in the third round. This coming from a toon supporter. Lol.

steelcityblues

All this bull before the draw!

M5

whats with the fcuking propaganda?

~Rebel~

Gutted at the result, but delighted to finally see a bit of spirit from the lads, really tried to play some football when they had the chance, great running from everyone too. Thought pool defence coped very well with the united pressure, agger looked great, some great vision in defence with interceptions. Pen was obviously a bad call, clearly, but such is life.

Onwards and upwards for pool hopefully!

it was a penalty regardless of whether he went down or not and while I don't think it was a dive, even if it was he was still hampered by contact in the box and he shouldn't have to go down to be awarded the pen.

Mr.Nice Guy

Are the 'Webb is biased' brigade going to ignore the penalties for United he DIDN'T give?

J. Marston

At least these lads doing the draw are better than the last pair of eejits they had in.

Also, that Liverpool performance was nothing special. The full-backs looked solid, thats about it.

Sky Sports had something on earlier about the forces in Afganistan. Is it an anniversary or somesuch?

Did we not establish Shelvey got the ball and then Giggs went over his leg?

Fellow Liverpool fans should give the Webb stuff a rest. United were good for their win. Focus on our own positives, for there were many, and you might enjoy the rest of your Sunday a bit better.

Yes he is and today was no different... he was trying not to laugh such was the obvious nature of his dive!

Pro. F

lol at Big Sam's body language analysis. He's right though

I really enjoyed that game. And love the result.

Home draw please

They had some cheek to show the Steve Gerrard "going strong in the last 15 mins" ad at half time.

I'm United born and bred but Liam that was never a peno, he was barely touched took a step and dived.

Webb gave most 50/50 decisions pools way after the penalty, evans should have got a penalty and you think the ref was in uniteds pocket. The sending off of gerrard was a cert in every game and anyone who thinks otherwise is trolling or on drugs

Jesus we've just sorted the racism issue and sexism is introduced.:D

Where's my popcorn.

Augmerson

As a Pool fan, disappointed we lost to United today. Defeat is always disappointing, especially against United and the loss also puts us out of the FA Cup, but losing 1-0 at Old Trafford to a team like United is not the worst result in the world, considering we went down to 10 men.

blueshed

great result,so glad to beat the old foe.

giggs was brillant imo,a joy to watch.
very happy with jonny evans also.

would have loved the 2nd goal to relax me.

bring on Southampton away

He did enough damage in the first half.

The fool let fletcher man handle him at OT against arsenal a few weeks ago and did nothing. Mascharano was sent off at OT for giving out to ref!

Liverpool fans can try and please themselves by claiming moral victories in keeping the score to 1-0 but really that team is poor and Kenny, Jose Mourinho or Bill Shankly could do nothing with them. Time to clear out and build again. Liverpool fans will need to have patience as it will take at least two years to rebuild and may need to sell Reina and Torres to help fund a rebuilding project.

pokerface_me

Was just listening to 5live on the radio, commentator said Gerrard may face up to a 5 game ban if the FA decide it warrants one. Surely that can't be the case, it should only be a 3 game ban, think he has his wires crossed somewhere.

Thank god you enlightened us , we'd never have realised that.

Wasn't there a good shout for one on Evans? I don't think ITV bothered to replay it post-match but when they replayed the chaos in the box it looked one and even the commentators acknowledged as much.
