I don't know ifit was picked up on the cameras yesterday but at fulltime the Liverpool players went to clap the fans apart from Torres who just walked off down the tunnel.

He had to rush off to compile his match report to submit to the FA. He was doing a lot of officiating during the game.

I was laughed away when I posted my doubts on here. I think my feeling was that he could be an Albert Riera, great potential but only shows glimpses of it and not very often.

I'd imagine you got laughed away because you only ever post negative things about Liverpool players, regardless of who we are talking about.

Yep, poor player. Certainly no Ryan Babel

What's he done wrong? I seen him fall to the floor once, but so did Stevie G so must be okay. Apart from that he's done welll, he absolutely mullered Konchesky yesterday.

Where him and Konchesky ran for the ball and Konchesky put his arm across his chest and Nani pirouetted 38 times in the air, did 47 double back somersaults and then sat on the floor feeling for his lip, which coincidentally he had tripped over earlier.

But seriously, to compare his antics to Gerrard's is either you attempting to be funny or just clueless. Knowing you, I'll give you the benefit of the doubt.

Apart from saying Reina was one of the top three keepers in the world recently.

Whatever reason I got laughed away for, I wasn't far off, was I?

I just see it as being a fans way of venting their anger tbh, if they don't believe they've had value for money (like us on Saturday) then that's how they let the players know. It took until the 88th minute create a decent goal scoring opportunity.

Not sure I agree Dan - I thought it was superb value for money on Saturday.

Evans and O'Shea are complete donkeys. I agree with RedTez, we need a new right back, and sharpish. O'Shea is a donkey, even if Nancy went down like a flying salmon trying to get the red card, O'Shea shouldn't have put his hand over him, especially as VDS had the ball.

Berbatov was class, some great goals. Nani was also good again, had the Liverpool defence all over the place. Giggs and Scholes were once again brilliant in midfield.

It's worrying that in two games in the League we've thrown away a two goal lead - something needs to be changed.

Never really understood it myself. Especially the people who sit there in silence for the duration of the game offering no support, only to boo at the end if they don't win?

That pi$$es me off too. F*cking idiots.

Harsh on O'Shea and Evans, the former is a really valuable player that has always served us well and Evans is maturing nicely but still prone to the odd rash tackle. I would agree though about signing a right back unless Rafael is going to step up to the plate or maybe he and Fabio will get discarded soon too?

Berbatov has often played well for Utd but just lacked goals, he seems to have added that to his game this season largely by playing further up the pitch, that said Rooney has dried up now as he is playing too deep and has zero confidence. What we need is a partnership rather than what we have had for the last few season where one person scores all the goals. Hernandez has disappointed so far too.
