Which pens are you talking about? The dive from Evra, or the tussle between Evans and Skertel which in a recent Liverpool game happened 3 times right in front of the ref and nothing was done, or the dive from Giggs?

What's the story with Evra puking on the pitch again - that's the second time I've seen him do it?

Paul Tergat

Strangely enough given how the game went I'd say both fans are happy with what they say (hear me out).

United looked in control and we can be happy we are in the next round without having to go through the gears. A lot of solid performances from most of our players and PIG was barely tested which says a lot.

Pool were on the back foot right from the off (marginal peno but with contact I think it was the right call) and then your captain did something rash. BUT, from there on (and even after we went in front) your team showed something that was all to missing under Hodgson. It's definitely something for you lot to build on.

Torres was his usual mopey self, Liverpool punted countless, aimless long balls, Kuyt done his headless chicken routine. A few dozen shots 25+ yards. All change at Liverpool :rolleyes:.

But hey, Kelly & Aurelio were good.

Skrtel, raar, he can go in hard anytime!!!

I thought Liverpool were very good in the second half and Kenny picked the team whch Hogson should of been picking all day long

Also he brought on the right subs and dropping the likes of Ngog and Johnston was very justified

Kenny not pleased with either decision, unsurprisingly.

Johnson would have been starting if he was available I would imagine...

Clutching at straws there aren't you? And Giggs didn't dive. I'd like to see any player stay upright when a tackle comes in like that.

Dalglish in his post-match interview is as myopic as many fans on this thread. No penalty, no sending off, give over Kenny.

I Read somewhere last week he suffers from severe reflux and causes him discomfort when playing and training, and is often sick when training. You would think it would be sorted by the Doctors at the club, it is a curable condition as far as i know.

Yep, he should take a leaf out of Fergie book and should be 100% honest in his analysis. :pac:

It is practically inconcievable at this at this stage.

Even if Chelsea's collapse continued Spurs and City are right there.

Disappointed Dalglish didn't see the Gerrard challenge as a red card but I suppose it was quite soon after the final whistle.

Mom a toss up between Giggs, Rafael and Ferdinand.

One real positive from that game, apart from the result, that 75 odd minutes Evans had will have done him the world of good. Looked very assured and nothing like the indecisive and weak defender he has looked this season.

Oh he certainly did, no arguing that.

But I doubt he would have got the chance to show that if Johnson was available.

He's got sick a few times before during matches and half time. I have a few friends who always get sick in matches and training also, they;re playing away fine and it never interfered with them but your right in saying that surely it could be treated.

blueshed

liverpool have a much bigger game wed nite
away to Blackpool.

there no longer the best team in the land
they wont be even the best pool in the land.

next sat they play Everton and then they wont be even the best team in the city.........

As they were V Villa,. To be fair 10 v 11 makes it difficult to guage, we'll see in the weeks ahead if Kenny can make the difference.

Torres was poor again and he's the one player Liverpool need to be on top form to make any significat difference IMO.

He stood and watched replays of it on the monitor by the dugouts right after it happened and there wasn't a budge out of him, he knew it was a red you can be sure of that but he's obviously going to defend Gerrard and stick up for his players especially as he's only in the door.

Pretty average United performance which was more than enough to ease through the game against Liverpools best eleven ?

Even for you, that's taking paranoia to extremes.

Everyone was just calling him out on the cúntishness of it.

Why am I not surprised that instead of complaining about his post, you complain about people drawing attention to it?

But by quoting it you are making it harder for the mods to get rid of it. If no one quoted it the prodigy's post was edited, he was banned and all was good. But now a few have quoted it, returned personal abuse so now the mods have the task of editing all them posts and maybe even infracting some others for the abuse.

And at the end of it all the prodigy gets the warm fuzzy feeling that all trolls get when they get a reaction.

Could have happened once upon a time only United managed to fúck it up.

As always, open to everyone, just don't be a dick.

Thoughts on the game.....

THought United were quite poor in the first half, very poor on the ball and our own passing put us under pressure far too often.

Thought we improved in that respect in the second half, showing more composure and intelligence on the ball - created a few half decent chances and possibly should have got an extra goal or two.

On the two big decisions.... immediately said it should not have been a penalty. Thought Gerrard was rightly sent off though.

On teh other penalty shouts, I initially thought Giggs should have got one - but replay showed it was a good tackle - and I would also say GIggs did not dive to try to get one either. However, Evans should have had a penalty a couple of minutes beore that, hauled to the ground by the liverpool player in the box.

I'm asking about Evans? From what I gather from your previous post you don't think it was one because something similar happened in a previous game and wasn't a penalty but that's not exactly a straight answer is it?

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

Isn't that the point?

IF he was biased he would have taken the opportunity to give the peno when there was none.

Really you mean you missed a player being sent off after 30 mins and Utd unable to put a 10 man team to bed?

United didn't have to though, Liverpool offered nothing going forward before or after the red card.Some nice huff and puff spirit i think you call it...

Berbatov: "Of course it was a penalty. There was contact, enough to make me lose my balance and make me lose my balance. People who know me know I don't go down that easily. I thought their keeper was the best player, but one goal was enough in the end."

If thats the case the chap probably can't leave his house for fear of getting floored by a light breeze.

I'm not particularly bitter about the peno there was slight contact and plenty players would go down in that situation, but I don't know how he can claim he didn't go down easily.
