Gerrard apologising but fails to apologise to the player he stamped on!

Fair play to Gerrard there. Still hilarious though.

I wouldnt say that at all. Exactly the same 'all about me' shiite hes been at his entire career. The end of game huddle last season epitomized it. Out in the limelight again seeking forgiveness, its cringeworthy

Yeah, let's just praise united.

This is a match thread, it's used to discuss what happens in the match.

Was just thinking that.

Mr.Nice Guy

I can't recall Sky giving a platform to other players that have been sent off. This bias towards English players is ridiculous.

They bash foreigners non-stop for aggressive wrongdoing but when one of their own crosses the line, it's 'emotion'.

Corholio

United the better team overall and deservedly won. Absolute madness from Gerrard, had far too much adrenaline coming on the pitch and was idiotic to cost his team like that. Uniteds second half game management was horrendous though, especially after they went 2-0 up. Liverpool will be disappointed they gave Jones and Smalling very little work to do because they still look very shaky together. Great first half performance from United though, a very strange Liverpool one too.

Herrera got booked for leaving his mark on Gerrard. There was two of them in it.

Put it this way: if, towards the end of his career, Scholes did what Gerrard did today; would he be on tv especially to apologise afterwards? :pac:

Hopefully Baloteli comes out on twitter and comments about Gerard. Absolute lunacy by the man.

The man could cure cancer and raise mother Teresa from the dead and you would still put a negative spin on it.

No but he probably would have been given the opportunity to if he wanted.

If he had hurt he probably would have had. I'm sure he will get over it.

Lol, the ball was 6 feet in the air

The ball was and rooneys foot was on his ankle it was a yellow card at most but definite not a red it was not violent or dangerous and to say anymore you are clutching at straws.

Absolutely but he wouldnt because he would know better. Insincere crap that i'm sure will have a few poems dedicated to it on RAWK this evening. All the while other teams are winning trophies

Not nervous at all. Expecting a fairly straightforward Liverpool win. This team has proved themselves again and again this season, no reason to believe they will stop now.

I'm not comparing them. Gerrard's behaviour was much worse. But it's quite obvious why he didn't apologise to Herrera.

Am I the only Man U fan that doesn't scrutinise everything Liverpool and its players do, in order to be offended and make 'my team' look superior?

Do all of you not get tired of constantly trying to look the best?

Only just seen the interview there bit weird alright.

Gerrard's apology is all well and good but suggesting that it was Herrera's fault in some way is not. Should really apologise to him too in fairness.

Gerrard making a plonker of himself in front of the cameras againg. someone give him a few sweets and a hankie. Its all about him

Want to watch out now for Dynamo in the Europa lads.

Jesus the hate from some people on here makes is cringeworthy. Better to admit the mistake than do an Evans on it and not acknowledge his actions in cowardly fashion.

Herrera got under his foot.

Soups123

Jamie I tell it as it is Carragher showing he hasn't the balls to critise Gerard any other team he'd have went OTT with criticism, biased analysis like that is what ruins Sky

I thought he was decent but nothing was happening around him. They couldn't get a hold of the ball long enough to ler him do his thing

Was this an ordinary nobody, id say nothing. But its Gerrard doing what he knows best. The ridiculous Huddle from the City game last season was the last straw for a lot of people, hence him getting little sympathy after the slip and now. I think hes been a terrific player though.

This article summed it up well at the time, and again now: http://www.sundayworld.com/sport/opinion/roy-curtis/why-stevie-g-is-most-self-obsessed-footballer-of-his-generation

Why did the huddle upset you. What harm came out of it. You have not much going on in your life if your getting upset over that.

United can push on for 2nd place. Hull unlikely to do anyone any favours.

Could happen but City don't usually bottle it at the end.

Might get 3rd from Aresnal

Too Tough To Die

Liverpool should be charged with failing to control their players, as well as individual charges. I'm amazed we made it out of Anfield without a serious injury.

They were dirty today no doubt but that's a bit of a stretch.

That is a bit over the top lol,

FourFourRED

Balotelli & Skrtel also could have seen red.

Mata what a glorious performance.

Gerrard a silly silly boy.

All the "pundits" fancied Liverpool based on their form since the last United defeat I assume but how wrong they were.

United will finish in the top 4. Don't see why Liverpool would want to considering how woeful they were in the CL this season.

All in all, a great day!

It stopped me rating him as any sort of effective leader or captain. Could you imagine the likes of Adams, Keane, Kompany, Cannavaro or Maldini entertaining that sort of nonsense out on the pitch? I subsequently very much enjoyed his selfish performance after the slip, shooting from all over the pitch instead of passing it to the teams matchwinners. Selfish again today. A fine player, terrible captain

niallo27

De Gea trying to act the hard man at the end was the only part of the game that i enjoyed. He collected the ball and he was fine, then he decided to be injured when smalling had a go at Skrtel. He then got up and tried to have a go at Skrtel but though better and decided to roll around on the ground again. It was comical.

He was a great captain in Istanbul and Cardiff the following year. He showed a bit of emotion last year after the city game. What agenda do you think he had for doing it.

I enjoyed Mata's goals and slippy G getting sent off.
