United had a lot of the ball but done very little with it, it was nothing to do with Liverpool being negative, when we got the ball we attacked with numbers and got our full backs forward. Both teams played with one up front and quite a deep midfield, so why United fans try and take some offensive moral high ground is baffling. Little moaning coming from the United fans about the embarrassing Park, he's worse than David Silva when it comes to diving.

Not diving that mate. Never been able to stay on his feet, falls over when nobdy near him, trips up on the ball etc. Mainly due to him not being very good.

Good effort from United who were the better team for me. Away from home with so many important players missing it was much closer than I thought. As Mark has said, with United and City out of the competition not many sides are going to be able to break down Dalglish's ultra-defensive tactics. Predicted Chelsea to win the Cup pre-season and it's now down to them or Liverpool.

Only caught the 2nd half but Liverpool looked by far the better team. They might have had less possession but they looked more dangerous going forward. Other than the Welbeck chance, I don't recall United ever looking like they'd score a second

fair evaluation. I think they deserved it too.

How soft was that penalty in the other early tie? Awful decision IMO.

Re: The Football Chat Thread : Sat Jan 28, 2012 3:17 pm  

I think we have only lost one game with Lindegaard in goal. I know De Gea is only young but I just don't see it at the moment. Some of the spanish watching forumistas may have a better idea but just doesn't look confident at all.

You're Man United, you'll do what you want.

Hey Mark, I know Carroll gets some stick and deservedly so at times, but you can't help laugh at that £17M Fergie spunked on De Gea. Absolutle crap.

That Bolton defeat looks like the kick up the backside we needed. Get in.

Carroll was ok today. Really hard to play up front on your own.

Not looking too good a buy. Got some way to catch Carroll, Adam and Downing though awful, awful buys. Henderson look's like he could be a belter and Bellamy is in great form.

I'd just seen him play at Espanyol when the rumours started and I posted on here that he wouldn't have been my first choice replacement for van der Sar. He's got bags of potential but he's got absolutely no confidence when coming for crosses. On a positive, Lindegaard looks a steal at around ₤4m.

Hendo looks better every game. Top player, who goes about his business quietly and effectively. Bellamy has always been a top player, works his balls off every game. All the eggs in one basket now for United after being knocked out of the Champions League, League Cup and the FA Cup before the end of January.
