Not really. Straightforward question, did United fans call on Evans to apologise to Cisse? I don't read the United thread so I don't know.

Deflection plain and simple

It's embarrassing

Trying to clutch at straws and call Herrera into a dispute about two Liverpool players who let there team down by stamping

Yeah, happy enough with that. He's right. It was a poor tackle by Herrara which the ref rightly booked him for.

Yes, we have agreed. But, when you are that cynical in a challenge and really want to apologise instead of just grandstand and save face, you apologise to the player as well. Obviously not on the pitch but afterwards.

Time to go out of this thread in style

Gerrard was stood in front of a camera where he came out to apologise for something that he admitted to doing. It doesn't compare to anything Rooney, Evans, Jones or whoever did.

So you're happy enough he accused Herrera's challenge of being studs up, which it wasn't, it was just a little late. And you're happy that Gerrard was trying to excuse his stamp because of the tackle?

Because those were the original points I made that you called me on so I just want to be sure.

No, that's fair enough he used the words studs. Which he was right about. He's reacted to a poor tackle from Herrara.
The 50-50 with Mata you said was a worse tackle than Herrara's which I disagree with you on. Both players went for it fully committed, no change given from either.

You're digging holes just to flap around in at this stage. Wasn't studs up and definitely did not justify Gerrard's scumbag stamp.

Now stop digging and go sleep on it before you give yourself a nosebleed.

How? Cos he is the guys manager ... what you want? "Oh yeah, Martin should be hammered for that one"?

Manager defends player shocker. How would you compare what Skrtel did to costa's 2nd stamp in the liverpool game.

Liverpool look nervous on the ball. Think they need Gerard on to calm them down a bit.

I didnt say it justified the stamp. And it's only 5pm so I won't be going to bed for a while yet. I'm getting dinner in a moment sure.

anyway this thread is getting ridiculous, besides the goal my highlights are:

- Jones smashing lalana
- Gerard sending off
- Di Maria being useless
- Di Maria catching the ball
- Skertl stamp on DDG
- Balo bossing it against smalling
- Ddg squaring up to skertl until he got some sense and fell down 'injured' again

There is a world of difference between defending/not hammering your player and going on TV and lying completely about a situation that is clear to see to millions of people watching around the world.

Rodgers made up a completely difference scenario to the one that happened.

Liam McPoyle

That was as delicious as it gets.

Out played.

Out manoeuvred.

Out classed.

In every single way.



Massive step towards CL qualification but far from a fore gone conclusion.


I will enjoy the rest of the day.

After that.

We go again.


Yippee Kay Aye Motherfcukers!

Lol at the order you've put them in. Also at Balo bossing it against Smalling, what!? Ha ha

There might have been no chance of RVP dying in that situation. But at least he was taking about the same situation.

Rodgers admitted that he had seen the incident. He then came up with a complete fairytale, completely different to what anyone watching, or looking at the replay could see.

Suprised At Liverpool. Expected a bigger performance from them. Looked as bad at times when they played Swansea.

United played very well, deserved to win. Be Suprised if top 4 changes from it is now. No doubt there will be twists and turns tho.

While he was wasteful in possession I put forward a sublime assist for the second goal and that through ball that led to the penalty.



I will take that kind of useless.

Then perhaps he's posting in the wrong thread, as this is the Liverpool V United match thread. You remember? The match that was a few hours ago.

Rooney had an absolute stinker today, just knew that penalty wasn't going in.
I don't know how Liverpool don't concede more with Emre Can in defence, good baller but no defender.

Blind.

Also, Moreno is absolute trash. Brainless pace.

Will I Amnt

If I had been Blind I would have pointed and laughed before whipping the cross in. Fair play to him for being professional, must have been hard to resist.

Hindsight and all, but Mata should have taken it.

I would have Di Maria instead of Herrera.

How did that work out for you? not one of those Liverpool players would get near the United team today.

Countinho and Sterling are nowhere near Di Maria or Mata, Can and Moreno are brutal defenders

Fellaini outplayed Henderson

Di Maria was very poor today

Poor by the standards he set in Madrid but he's still a creative machine even when in poor form, his pass for Mata's goal and before the penalty

Ozil got similar stick in his first season

I think I'd have a high number of assists if my job was to give the ball to Ronaldo.

Di Mario tried to give the ball to Rooney today and I wondered whether the pass was behind or Rooney overran, I suspect Ronaldo would compensate for both.

Clasico is about to k/o.

Im closing this now lads, entertaining game today.
