Re: Liverpool Thread

So he's either a hypocrite, very forgetful, or a liar.

All 3, but then every top manager is.

Reading the mailbox on 365 gives two positions on it. Personally I think its a clever move to put focus on Manu from a refereeing perspective with todays game and the upcoming manu-liv match. If anything happens with Manu in the meantime he can use that before the match to soften the ref up a bit.

Did anybody think that Rafa sitting in the stand yesterday was part of that? Or is it still medical advice?
 
Re: Liverpool Thread

I don't think it was medical advice, I'm sure he was told he can return to the dugout again.
 
Re: Liverpool Thread

And now his words has backfired on him, in the largest proportion possible. Drawn against Stoke and then MU winning convincingly over Chelsea means MU is actually leading the EPL when they win their 2 games in hand. (Not an If anymore) Stupid really.

Re: Liverpool Thread

Really, you Mancs are starting to get more like the Bitters everyday. Now you're watching our highlights trying to pick up on things against us? :LOL:
 
Re: Liverpool Thread

I now it's a bit premature, but I do really think its us against United for the title. Chelsea might only be 4 points away, but the game today showed that they arn't in it mentally. Don't really seem to give a damn. Anyways, that's how I would have it.

Basically, we have to go on serious winning run from now. Alonso will back, Nando is back. Time to be positive, and have a go at teams. The title race is on and we're part of it. We need to kick up a gear now. And we'll have to win at Old Trafford. That game will be huge. Till then, just keep winning.

No, just glad that our real rivals are back to be honest. It's so much more fun watching you lot lose the league to us than watching southerners.

Mental weaknesses? Not really

Chelsea have the quality, but they seem just disinterested yesterday. I mean, United were playing Evans for god sakes! A normal Drogba, would have absolutely battered him. He didn't seem interested in even moving about the pitch. Me gets a feeling, not everything is ok in the Chelsea dressing room.
 
Re: Liverpool Thread

Evans is class :SS Theres a reason why he was picked, otherwise he could have easily slotted in O'Shea.
 
Re: Liverpool Thread

As opposed to an awful lot of United fans who think O'Shea is rubbish so Evans is the lesser of two evils? :)

Just for the record, I think O'Shea is a decent player so those aren't my words :)
 
Re: Liverpool Thread

O'Shea will always be a squad player. We need those because they don't feel like they have to play every week. Evans looks like he'll be something a little more.
What do you lot think of getting Heskey again?

hhhmmm an awful lot of pressure on rafa and the team to win the title this season....

a few times where lfc could put daylight between themselves and the chasing pack..

I s'pose the points dropped are a sign of a team with alot of mental strength...

There are better players but Heskey is good at holding up the ball, poses an aerial threat and is a decent finisher. At getting him for free, it says a lot to me that the Americans aren't keen on giving Rafa any money to sign the striker that he really wants to play the "Heskey Role" as such.

Not a bad signing, not great either though. Would rather see Heskey up front than Kuyt in any case.

Man Utd have NEVER dropped points when they've been top of the league then?

You're getting pretty boring with this fact or opinion stuff now, give it a break? :ROLL:

I work with a fair few Utd fans, and none of them would class O'Shea as "well liked" at all either.

the few thousand @ derby singing "when oshea goes down the wing" would beg to differ..

as will a few thousand who remember the winning goal infront of the kop, during our title winning season of 2006/07..

but i'm sure the utd fans you know speak for us all :ROLL:
 
Re: Liverpool Thread

I still think it's Liverpool's to lose. If I was a Liverpool fan my only worry would be European commitments. Liverpool could go far in Europe whereas I think Man Utd will go out to Inter, they have been less than convincing in Europe this season, drawing with Celtic away, Aalborg at home and not managing to score vs Villareal. The only time they played a top class attacking European team this season they were clinically and beautifully deconstructed (Zenit in the supercup). I expect even a below par Inter to beat them over two legs.

I think Arsenal, Spurs and Liverpool could all cause problems for Man Utd at Old Trafford and across those games I expect them to drop at least 4 points. Added to that they still have to play Fulham home and away (who have been going well of late). If you look at the run-ins Man Utd have a harder one than Liverpool


Man Utd

Spurs home
Middlesbrough away
Man City home
Arsenal home
Hull City away


Liverpool

Hull City away
Newcastle home
West Ham United away
West Brom away
Spurs home

Both teams play Hull away and Spurs at home, so in that sense there are similarites. However, Man Utd play Man City and Arsenal at home (both grudge matches) whereas Liverpool have West Brom and West Ham away (easier fixtures). Again if you were given the choice between Newcastle at home (Liverpool) or Boro away (Man Utd) there isnt much in it but most would go for the former especially with home advantage.
