Great to see the reserves take care of an almost full strength Liverpool team.

Pity the 1st team could not;)

Ouch. I'm sure the united players are very envious of what Liverpool have achieved the last 7 years; nothing.

Plenty of players who played tonight and haven't been playing recently should be first choice. Don't really know what yerman is on about.

So far from a "reserve team". What I'm basically saying is that people calling that our reserve team is bullsh*t.

Liverpool can't take credit for that, David Moyes can though.

Probably the only decent post in the last page or two, kudos.

It's been said for one reason only.

Fair play for pointing it out and I agree with your first point completely. Nani and Kagawa should be in the 1st team and probably will. Nani will anyway I'd say. Brazilian chap at RB should be 1st team too

5 points off the top with 3 of our toughest games of the season out of the way and a great run from now until Christmas.

You seem clueless.

Uniteds strongest starting 11 at the moment? I'd think the Leverkusen lineup.

Fulham, I think. Lemne check.

Good game, Liverpool vastly improved from the weekend, Hernandez chronically underused class player.

To be fair, go back to the thread from the game at Anfield, and see some of the crap spouted after, from a few getting upset about it here too. The last few pages have been very tame. A few 'reserves' jokes. Big woop

What does that have to do with anything? Surely you're squad players would cost a fair bit too, seeing as you've outspent us, net or gross or whichever way ye want to swing it.

There is hypocrites across the board, big woop indeed. As I said, the only decent post in the last few pages.

What did you want to achieve with your comment? Why pass remark on the quality of everybody else's posting?

Unbelievable.

8-10

Possession only counts for so much. Moses's header was the only clear cut chance Liverpool created. I think a draw and extra time wouldn't have been unfair but United scored an excellent set piece goal and had the superior bench, Liverpool probably had the better shape in the first half but had no options to change after going behind.

Somebody posted that this was a win versus Liverpool's strongest 11 bar Johnson and Coutinho. While true, I think there's a huge difference in Liverpool minus those two players and Liverpool minus any other two. I think a full strength United is clearly better than a full strength Liverpool but that said I think Moyes was gambling with the selection he made and the scoreline reflected how close a win it was.

Right result but Liverpool put in a good performance I thought and personally i'd take that defeat over a league defeat.

If that 11 plays like that against Sunderland this weekend I could see a Liverpool win.

The possession was split pretty equally to be fair, both teams fairly poor in front of goal, particularly considering the amount of shots in the game

Yeah did it quickly in my head and at the very least there is a lot of rounding up going on there. Also the bulk of that is for players still 25 or under so whatevs.

Sky actually had the possession at 51% - 49% to the pool.

Quick sum in my head has it around 120million.

30million for Rooney, DDG, Nani, Jones, Kagawa were all 15-20million buys I think, Smalling at 12million - some hefty prices paid for players in that team last night. Raf, Evans, Giggs and Chico the only cheap/free ones.

richierichballs

Didn't see the match but reading United sat back for most of it in typical Moyes fashion.

People can argue you all they want but they both played strong teams,
I'd consider the team Moyes put out last night stronger then the one he did against City.

Where did you read that? RAWK? Because that's probably the only place you would find such a deluded and inaccurate assessment of the match.

Rooney has truly been like a new signing, and I hate that phrase. Ive never seen him start a season so well and looking so fit after a summer break. Moyes seems to have lit a fire under his arse and has him energized, hopefully he can keep it going all season.

You can see how much work he put in this summer he is in his best shape for a long time. He usually comes back unfit.

i don't know what all the moaning is about.

it was pretty much the Anfield game in reverse.

Liverpool maybe had a few more decent openings in this game than Utd had at Anfield, but weren't clinical at all.

two average enough teams, and this time Liverpool were the ones to defend badly from a corner.

end of really.

Pretty much sums it up.

Quick question,when Giggs left the ball after getting a call from Suarez should that not have been a free for unsporting behaviour?

I saw it happen in a game I played in and the guy that made the call actually got booked.

I can't recall it happening before in a professional match.

Speaking of Suarez,it's reported this morning that he's gone for emergency surgery to have Martin Tyler's tongue removed from his arse.:pac:

this time he should get a 15 match ban for unsporting behaviour.

It's deluded to think that's the only deluded place you'd find a deluded match report. Deluded!
