Liverpool v Man Utd, 22nd March, 1.30pm K/O

GavRedKing

Right lads, just to stop potential back and forth cat calling and whinging, this match thread will be opend up on the morning of the game.

I hope you can all appreciate the level of moderation these matches usually take and I'd ask now for anybody intending to use the thread to be careful in what they post before, during and after the game but thats probably going to fall on deaf ears considering what could be at stake. :pac:

Anyway, depending on how the thread develops, it maybe closed shortly after the game as we've also got the Clasico on Sunday night that could potentially split the forum and cause issues and we dont want to have to card or ban half the forum in one day.

GavRedKing

Thread open, I shouldnt have to repeat it and its probably not going to be listened too entirely but try be civil lads.

Ye'll only have yereselves to blame if ye get carded/banned.

If United play like we did last week I can see us nicking it. In saying that I would happily take a draw today.

Both teams won't be too upset with a draw particularly Utd.

First goal is key.

The 4th place trophy awaits.

Good luck all

Probably a united win, I think they've a bit more quality in their side compared to Liverpool. A win for united will probably tie up the top 4 too.

1-2 united win

Giggsy11

I hate this fixture more than any, it's been so long since we played half decent at Anfield. I would take draw without any doubt, hopefully we get at least a point

Is it kick off time yet????? No????? I'm going back to bed so.....

And yet if they play anything like they did in the two months previous that game, they will get hammered.

As long as the ref has a terrible game I will be happy. As a neutral, this game is like christmas day on boards.

That's my fear as well. As a United fan I know if we play like we did against Tottenham, especially in the first 45, we can win. However, if we play like we did against Arsenal in the FA Cup it is going to be a very long day. This match won't decide 3rd/4th place but if Liverpool win they have an easier run-in so it will help them more. United need to not lose, simple as.

3-1 Liverpool. Skrtl to repel fellani and the route 1 nonsense...Sturridge to dance his way home....

...provided ref doesn't ruin it.

I reckon if Liverpool score more goals than Man Utd, they will win the game, if they score less then they will lose, but on the other hand if no team score, or each team score the same amount of goals as each other, your looking at a draw.

Possibly the most non offensive banner of all time.

Also, probably forgetting one of the Utd managers was a Liverpool captain!

And people wonder why some football fans are viewed as dim!

KaiserGunner

Hoping for a draw to keep the chasing pack further away from Arsenal. If someone has to win I want it to be Liverpool as they are further behind. I have a sneaky suspicion that Man Utd will nick a late winner though.

The nerves are going to be shattered come tomorrow morning, from the Rugby yesterday and this today.

This is what it's all about lads and lasses.

Delayed reaction?

Utd need to at least maintain the tempo of play, with and without the ball, of last week against Spurs to have a chance.

Won't somebody think of the childr eh mods!

Very hard to call this one. United were very good against spurs but could very easily revert back to shît. Liverpool have been goin well but I don't think they have been as convincing in recent weeks.

Scored draw is my guess

steps_3314

As a Utd fan I have not enjoyed this fixture in recent years. Will be happy with a draw but I think Liverpool will want it more and will nick it. Utd Players seem to be too nervous when visiting Anfield last few years and with the way Utd have being playing the last 2 seasons you kind of know what to expect unfortunately.

Too Tough To Die

Today is the day we reassert our dominance over Liverpool. We'll win this by at least a clear 2 goals.

seligehgit

Bit pessimistic re our chances today. Liverpool are the form team and unsure if the Spurs result was a blip in our otherwise hardly set the world on fire form. It would be great to nick the win although I'd happily settle for a point.

newballsplease

Think Utd will be set up today to not lose the match. Hopefully catch liverpool out on the counter.
1-0 utd

Damien360

Draw written all over this. A sending off and a good few yellow cards for good measure. Liverpool are in form but utd have just found form.

gosplan

It's easier for Utd to win it now.

What I mean is if they draw this, they'll have to match Liverpool in the remaining fixtures. If you assume that they'll do about the same in the common matches, then Utd have to go and beat City.

Easier to just beat Liverpool and go two results ahead.

Finding form is playing well for 1 game???

Easier to beat City at home than Liverpool at Anfield. We might lose to both but I would always back ManUtd against any team at Old trafford and by a huge margin if we compare it with away to Liverpool

Cantona's Collars

Hopefully United won't sh1t themselves like they did last season,at least now we are giving up less chances in games but the first 20 minutes are key,Liverpool will start like demons so we'll need to combat that and then play our own game.

bad2dabone

Great day ahead for the neutrals, I'm hoping for a high scoring draw that or a united win as I think overall liverpool are a greater threat to arsenals chances of automatic CL qualification.
Having said that I am always happy to see united lose.

The clue is in the words.... finding form. Having just found ! Don't be so bloody grumpy.

This thread could well end up very, er, "interesting" later on. A draw will be ideal, but goes somewhat against the grain. The default setting for me is to want United to lose whenever they play!

Liam McPoyle

Sickeningly nervous.

Heart says United win.

Head says Liverpool win.

If we lose then we can kiss CL goodbye for this season.

Liverpool lose and they are very much up against it for CL qualification but certainly not out of the running.

Its days like this that enforce what I love and hate about football in equal measures.

dahat

Fellani to score at Kop end, wouldn't that be magic.

Draw all day long for me. Fourth place is the end game and today us only another step albeit a pretty significant one.

kingshankly

One things for sure there will be more yellow cards here than at anfield

Im just glad I wont be near the lap top for the game tbh!

:pac:

bennyineire

First 20-30 mins are key, I think I might be right in saying that Liverpool have not lost this season in the League when they have taking the lead, also United have not won when the have gone behind.
I'm sure there probably is an exception there somewhere.

Liverpool will get good chances in the first 30 mins and I think the games hinges on weather they can take them.

Personally I can see Liverpool been 2-0 up by half time and if that is the case I can't Utd coming back from that.

I'll go 3-1 to the pool

GreNoLi

Glad I don't support either team, good luck.

If you played well in 3 games I'd say that's finding form. One game means nothing.

All the questions mark are on united today.

Saying that form generally doesn't mean much in this fixture. Many a time bad Liverpool teams have beat good united teams.

MonkeyTennis

so we are all agreed. Open the match thread and have at it
