Great stuff from United but when you have a fullback like Valencia and a CB like Jones, you will give up chances. Lallana's chance came from a sliced clearance from Val to Henderson. Jones terrifies me at all times He is near the ball.

Rooney is off colour today but hopefully he comes out a bit brighter second half. Still expecting a Pool win once they up the intensity but delighted that it hasn't been a foregone conclusion.

There must be a strong temptation to bring Gerrard on soon.

Where's rarnes? Turtyturd? Monkey9?

Ah lads don't be hiding come out and play

Utd by far the better team, I think Liverpool will have to match them in midfield.

I wouldn't change anything just yet! Who would you take off for Di Maria anyway? Everyone playing well except Rooney and he's not going to be taken off..

For who and why?

The obvious would be Young. Though you could also swap him for Fellani or Mata. The guy was signed to transform the team and be our focal point from midfield. This was said by all fans and the manager. He's either the most expensive British signing and our best world class player, or it's time to get rid. Get him on and let him show us which is which. Perfect opportunity to go for the kill and finish this game with a 2 or 3 nil win.

Sterling is wing back and Can is their RCB, if ever there was a position to be exploited it's there.

1-0 up at halftime at Anfield and comfortable. No need to disrupt the defensive shape. Team on the pitch is capable of scoring the second. Rooney does need to sharpen up though

Osmosis Jones

I'd take Allen and Lallana off for Lucas and Manquillo

Rayne Wooney

Fair play to Jamie Carragher giving credit where it's due

Settle down. There's no need to call for changes when they're not needed.

If you told me at the start of the season we would leave Di Maria and Falcao on the bench to start with against pool I'd be sickened, turns out we are comfortable enough without them starting. Handy players to be able to call upon though.

If Liverpool cop on for 2nd half and utd stay the same I would expect Liverpool to win 1-2

The last few minutes there weren't comfortable. Proactivity is needed here, they're there for the taking.

Cut out trying to goad other posters. Posts like this will only serve to cause problems.

Thread is going so smoothly, let's not try kicking off personal arguments, ok?

Why take off players who are playing well?

You planning on using that one in your stand up routine? I wouldn't.

That Nivea ad with Henderson and the lads is crap

He's playing at RWB, can't really blame him if he's way out of position.

Rooney has been the worst player on the pitch and he's on 250k a week.

For the money he supposedly wants id expected him to be able to play any where:p

That was from a couple of sloppy clearances which led to nerves for a couple of minutes. Liverpool did nothing and it passed. I dont see how weakening ourselves defensively to bring on a player who will struggle in the lack of space is going to stop the odd sloppy moment or nervous spell. We need to stay as solid as possible and Young, for all his limitations, is putting a shift in and Blind hasnt really been left exposed once as a result.

Pool got sorted after half time against Swansea. This game is long from over.

United's bench looks like a Mexican drug cartel.

45 to go but a massive turnaround needed if we are to get anything from this.

I am calm; but it's like Real or Barca having Messi or Ronaldo on the bench when they're both perfectly fit to play and you would hope rearing to go.


He's either world class or he's not. Fellani, Young and Mata should not be keeping him out of the team, no matter how well they are playing; which is good but nothing special (obviously a great goal from Mata).

Super-Rush

Henderson anonymous again today.
Can poor, Moreno poor, Allen exposed.

Surely we can't play any worse in the second half.

Stop creating trouble mick

Why continue to post drivel. Do you not understand Liverpool have been muck because we've made them muck. If we do the same again for 45 minutes we will win this comfortably

Sterling got through him early in fairness. De Gea to the rescue.

Di Maria in big games does not struggle with lack of pace, Blind's been exposed plenty, Sterling has just been rubbish. Di Maria works as hard as anyone.

It's nicely poised should be a cracking 2nd half.

Rather than thinking about his reputation, why not just look at whats in front of you? Taking Young off and putting Di Maria on will leave Blind exposed alone to Sterling during Liverpool's inevitable attempted comeback in the second half

We need to pressurize them
Break it up
Retain the ball
Score next
And win

Or unless Liverpool make utd muck the it won't matter what utd will do!

My God.... Chicken and egg paradox!!!

Robson99

Young n Rooney both poor. Utd loads of possession but creating little. Di Maria for young fairly soon

ShakerMaker91

Gerrard on grand job

frisbeeface

Sterling in the front 3, Hendo at RWB and Gerrard into midfield?

Chrissybhoy

Ironic how the in form Allen Henderson & Coutinho are get the run around united midfield. Shows how important experience is in games like this the small bit of joy Liverpool get carrick wins a free stays down a little extra takes the sting out of Liverpool. Saying that about experience Herrera hasn't had many in this fixture and he's been the best player on the pitch

Knex*

Henderson rwb so and Sterling pushed on?

5starpool

Lucas on for Allen please. That would have been my change rather than Gerrard for Lallana. Hopefully the captain can inspire something because we need it.

There were 2 clear chances in that half, and utd too k theirs which is ultimately the difference so far, but utd were clearly better overall and Liverpool need to create more.

Yeah I figured the through ball was the killer pass not the layoff

wow

MightyMandarin

Gerrard on is great to see, get some physicality in the middle now. Hack the legs off Fellaini now and nick a goal.

EDIT: Oh Stevie you f*ckin clown....
