We cant field anything stronger in those positions and we are minus the million quid a week in wages strikeforce.

So you're predicting a comfortable United win?

Complete and utter unquestionable dross of the highest order, I'm surprised the premier league they are playing in isn't of the blue square variety tbh

Nib

That's all very well Mr.Rooney, but don't you know all Liverpool have to do is turn up and "add a bit of pace to their play". Speedy G, Lightening Lambert and Usain Allen should see to that.

Not fit to lace Yayas boots tbh.

I'm on the bus to the airport. This is bonkers but **** it. Utd away is always a great buzz.

He's as good as Oscar yes and Yaya is on his off season so probably close enough.

But I'm sure you've seen him play a lot this season along with the other dross like Fellaini, Jones and Rojo so you're probably right about that. Good attempt to get the slinging started.

dfx-

Two fragile sides playing out a 0-0 - possibly settled by Van Persie.

They were great days when Vidic was sent off every time they played. Sad to see him gone from utd. Was handy against ten men.

Yeah those were the days. Defensive records broken and teams like Liverpool didn't stand a chance of finishing above United.

No defensive records broken against liverpool. My post was specific to liverpool utd games. Outside these games he was one of the best the premier league has seen.

Even if it was specific to those games you still ignored the multiple clean sheets with Vidic in the team against the Pool...

Liverpool have scored in the last 11 league meetings with utd.

I think Liverpool looked broken after the Basle match during the week. 10 man Liverpool used a lot of energy in that match and it will have us fooked psychologically and physically for today's match. I can't even find solace in United's dodgy defence because as bad as it's perceived, Liverpool's forward play is worse.

Still I can't believe united are doing so well in the league and fair play for dragging themselves up to the top 4, anytime I've watched them they have been poor. The only light I can see here is past performances can't be used as a guide in this match and a miracle is possible. 3 one to Liverpool.

Oh sorry, were you not talking about Torres? Presumed it was that period you were talking about seeing as how that's when the high profile mistakes from Vidic occurred.

Well of course... Going by those stats, he's better.

TBF he does look a good prospect.

Well he gave away a pen and got sent off last year to keep the trend up.

Form goes out the window in these games.

I hope so anyway.

Oranage2

Everything about this game says united are going to spank Liverpool harder than Margaret Thatcher did.

But someone needs to shut those united supporters up thinking they'll win the league, so I predict a 1 nil Liverpool win.

No true utd supporter believes the tesm is good enough to win the league!!!! They are overjoyed as to how they are currently performing!!!!

Hulk Hands

I think Vidic vs Torres finished up about 8-2 in Vidic's favour by the end. Skewed a bit by the games vs Chelsea. Was still a silly decision to have Vidic marking him in that 4-1, given how Ferdinand had dominated Torres the 2 games previously

NIMAN

The way the 'pool have been playing recently, it all points to a Utd victory, but that probably means 'pool will suprise us all.

Blatter

I must of heard the phrase ''form goes out the window in these games'' at least 10 times in relation to this game over the last few days.

If people actually thought for a second about whether or not it ''went out the window'' the last time the two sides met (hint: it didn't) they would know it's not necessarily true and realise it's just a meaningless cliche.

Too Tough To Die

Form stays in the room, comfortably sat in its favourite chair. United destroy Liverpool.

It flew out the window yesterday, breaking a bone in its arm and all.

RobertKK

Last 10 games where United played at home to Liverpool in the premier league.
United have 8 wins 2 losses, no draws.
Average score rounded to the nearest whole number is:
United 2-1 Liverpool

All this talk of form being out the window is rubbish. Form has ruled the day.

Blatter

Looks like James Wilson will start alongside RvP with Rooney in behind. Steve Bates reporting it and he's been spot on with team news this season.

Unearthly

Watching this game in work today. The last few games I watched in work were

Man City 4-1 Man Utd
Liverpool 1-0 Man Utd
Chelsea 3-0 Man Utd

I'm sorry lads I should have called in sick

Poor old Falcao needs to start buying into the'philosophy'.

Corvo

So, some very critical views from Rene M today in a piece with ESPN. Seems so bitter.

Drexel

Hoping for a decent contest here. A four all draw with 4 calamitous own goals from each team and no one coming out of the game looking good.

Not by LVG he wasn't but obviously harbours a personal problem with him.

Hes comes across as very bitter towards united since last season. Everything he has said has been very negative

Its a big call, Wilson's pace is exciting.

Rayne Wooney

Can't wait to see more of Wilson, Falcao shouldn't be started until he's 100% fit

Think we've only played 5 at the back once at home and we lost to Swansea, it doesn't work at all

OctavarIan

Utd have had to play three at the back because they haven't had enough defenders fit to play four. If Rafael and Shaw are back fit I fully expect four at the back. Rojo can even play left back if Jones and Evans are back fit.

Any united fan who thinks they'll win the league is deluded..

Win today, cement top 4 over Christmas, happy days.

RobbingBandit

2-0 RVP, Rooney with a possible second yellow for Rooney for celebrating having been previously booked for decent, just like the old gypsy woman said.

Not surprised after he was kicked out the door to be replaced by Moyes staff who hasn't a PL medal to their name apart from Phil Neville.

Here we go-a new season with Liverpool back to usual and United in resurgance after a season of sh1te.
8 books later and title celebrations that lasted the month of April only for Liverpool to discover the season didn't end until May the shock of watching the title slip away has left the team a shell of the one of last season,the lack of verve,industry and bite has seen Liverpool turn in some shambolic performances.

United are back on the rise no thanks to a bit of luck in more than a few games as the turgid,one dimensional dross of last season is slowly being cast behind.Gone is the king of hide & seek on a football field as TC23 moved on to be replaced by Herrera who can actually play a bit so now we look like we have a functioning midfield compared to the gaping chasm that teams waltzed through last season.
It might not be pretty tomorrow but it will be enthralling as United work on cementing a CL place and Liverpool aim for 7th.
