Liverpool vs Manchester United 10/03/16 20.05 BT

Rashford booked for 1st foul and Moreno not is just so unjust

J. Marston

Elbow him, Fellaini.

murpho999

Out of curiosity how can there be no stoppage time, with free kicks, penalty, celebration etc.

Only one nil.

Poor return tbh

Haha, Moreno has had 3 of those

Ref very lenient so far against him.

Penalty was a penalty. ..just about though.

Atmosphere seems woeful.

martyos121

My red card bet is looking very good to come in now.

This keeper loves handing out cards

United are turgid, whoever goes through won't be winning the comp.

Can't see anyway United hold onto DeGea this summer.

Djimi Sahko worries me.
Poor quality half but it was never going to be good.
Lot of missed chances but finishing isn't our forte

I think it's at the ref's discretion whether he adds it on at the end of the first half or waits till the end to add it on.

Francie Barrett

Battering the fook out of United, but we really need a second here.

Liam O

I don't understand how you can book Rashford for such a nothing tackle? 2 of them are sending off worthy? Give me a break.

Couthino should have scored for sure.

Osmosis Jones

Sturridge hasn't done a whole lot, but he scored the goal. Coutinho has done everything but score

Ahh are you hard of thinking ? Where did i do that ? I made a comment about the referee and his performance and the tactical fouling that isnt being correctly punished as per the laws of that game never said we were not poor.. never said the ref wqs why we were loosing.. try again

No need to be insulting.

Not every foul is a yellow card you know. Free kicks are the reward for mild free kicks.

Either way Utd have been awful going forward so I don't see what you are seeing.

Liverpool 1-0 DDG FC

Every time I find myself feeling sorry for refs I remember that they constantly make it hard to make excuses for them. Their inconsistency is their biggest problem.

Nope, he cannot hang on to it until the end of the game. It's now or never!

Canadel

Said it a few weeks ago, Liverpool will be a force in world football again before Utd.

Embarrassing from Utd tonight as usual.

You don't add time for free kicks, or penos. Celebrations?

SuperTortoise

Good half, should be 2 or 3 up though. We may regret those missed chances.

recylingbin

Liv 1-0 DDG. HT.

monkey9

Disappointed it's only one nil at half time. This is the sort of game we should be winning three nil, but i fear a one all draw or something.

Similar to the league game at Anfield, but this is more emphatic. De Gea once again has been outstanding.

Rayne Wooney

Madrid aren't even at De Gea's level, he should be going to Barca if he has any sense

Yep, other two are solid saves I'd expect DDG to make.

Liverpool by far the better team so far. Van Gaal can't have long left.

klose

They werent messing when they said the ref loves a card.! Good first half ideally wed be a couple to the good but de gea once again being the difference for united. Dont think we will perform that well second half and united will get chances. Only good thing their ace in the hole against us fellaini has started and wont be coming off the bench.

Watched the Civil War trailer a few times. Spidey looks great in it.

I've been trying to avoid spoilers for that. Thanks. Really hope Liverpool win now :pac:

Disappointed to be only one up. But Jesus De Gea just stops everything.

I wonder do players look at him like this ?

No but by my estimation there should be 4 more Liverpool players in the book... clear yellows.. also , where did i say every foul is a yellow ?

I am also seeing that United are poor going forward but when they have had oportunity to counter there have been fouls comitted in tje middle of the park that stopped the break away where the tackler had no intention to play the ball for a start... thats a booking.. stick to the facts

I'm not a Pool supporter so wouldn't see him play that often and I know he just looks awkward, but every time I see him he's actually very solid. No?

Yeah, Real Madrid, a top Champions League calibre club, aren't at the level of a player who's playing tonight in the Europa League.

That is humorous.

Turtyturd

As comfortable a first half as could be, just a shame it's not reflected on the scoreboard.

Only thing I would change for the second half would be to stop kicking every chance directly at De Gea.

Rossi IRL

Clyne kicked his own heals.

Listen to some of Howard Webb's descriptions of how they reach their decisions and their 'management of a football match' and the inconsistencies just become a little more obvious. To be fair this Spanish lad didn't exactly conform to the English stereotype by actually daring to book someone in the first 10.

How are the two lads saying that wouldn't be a foul anywhere? C'mon biys...

Scholes: "He's not pulled him back"

:pac:

That_Guy

Scholes and Ferdinand don't believe that it was a penalty.... I am shocked. :pac:

I wish I believed this.

Anyway, it could be alot worse.

Penalty was fair enough, the few chances we have had in front of goal have been thoroughly wasteful, we should be a minimum of two down.

One thing is for sure, he has been too good for Utd for about two years now.

Korat

Put us to the sword tonight because the next round would see Utd humiliated if they play like this.

Never a peno by the way.

They should lose their punditry jobs for those biased opinions.

Andersonisgod

The difference in approach, the difference mindset and the difference in the path that both of these clubs are on is jarring. Liverpool have looked slick, their movements have been sharp, their pressing really fantastically organised, they've allowed Man Utd practically no easy possession out from the back. This is a team with Klopp's fingerprints all over it, even if the individuals which it consists of may not be the ideal Klopp players. On the other hand Man Utd have resorted to getting players behind the ball, not pressing the Liverpool center backs, trying to play direct and attempting to hit Fellaini when they get controlled possession in the Liverpool half of the pitch. If that seems negative, this is a club on the verge of bringing in Mourinho and this could easily become the norm. It's perplexing that a club the stature and with all of the resources of Man Utd have gone down this route while Liverpool are the club that have embraced where modern football is going.

recylingbin

Utd's poty 2002-2007 reckons the ref got the pen decision spot on. Nice to see Webb leaving the tribal rivalries behind.

blueser

Nice to see Ferdinand, Scholes and MacManaman offering impartial punditry.

Scholes in particular showing himself up, completely biased, and arguing with Howard Webb. WTF!

5starpool

The most obvious booking of the half in my opinion was the one Can didn't get after about 4 mins for trying to bring down Rashford (I think) and handling the ball deliberately on the ground then.

5starpool

On another note, Daley Blind looks like he is Amish with that weird beard/no moustache thing.

Magico Gonzalez

I cannot believe that United will be so spineless in the 2nd half, worrying that we haven't put this to bed. Have a feeling LFC will regret not taking one of those 2 golden chances.

Pen was marginal, but depay was a mess and give the ref every chance to award a pen. Rashford is a mess too when pushed back into his half.
