I have a feeling that we could have score more if fergie put rooney and nani on the pitch from the beginning. although they play defensively but it is good for them to grab a point from Anfield.

I am happy with the team perfomance but not the result , but we still keep improving and I do admit , we still haven't reach the title challenger level. We should improve our chance conversion to goal ratio.

my thoughts exactly

We have Norwich & WBA next up. With the sort of performances from yesterday's game, i'm more happy to see we keep the similar momentum and climb up steadily.

2 points loss yesterday IMO but the good thing is we haven't lose at Anfield & perhaps showed other teams that United CAN be beaten. Was surprised how easy we neutralised Young despite his performance all season. IF we gonna put on a strong title charge we've got to be consistently winning at home, not losing silly points over teams that we should easily beaten.

Anyway I was back in KL for a week & had the opportunity to go to the Liverbird viewing party in Kelana Jaya last night. A simple 'mamak' style restaurant but the atmosphere was awesome with our lot conquering the place, sung songs, banners put up & they even renamed the the place the 'Kop Street'. Was proud of our supporters who showed a lot of commitment despite the result didn't go our way.

p/s: if there's anybody organizing a football/futsal match, I'd love to join up

That is exactly the kind of games I am afraid especially away from home. These boys will just sleep off during the match. Sometimes Liverpool are guilty of causing themselves plenty of problems. And I hope they can find the finishing touch this time because Norwich will park everyone infront of goalmouth.

i'm just happy at the fact we are so much a different team than we were at the first half of last season. coming so far from that fall was like a gift that should not be squandered by complacency.

we should not just play well against our main rivals but must take into account that we must do the same when Liverpool are on away taking the game to the home crowds no matter who that may be.

with sustained performances, the realisation and achieving a spot in the champion's league is more than just a dream for a newly built team in 1 season playing together.

YNWA!

Y U NOOO lose Newcastle

Next week they play wigan at home again.When are they gonna start fighting big teams

I'm happy with Newcastle draw. If Spurs won, they would be above us with a game in hand. Not good.
Plus, Newcastle deserves it. They were brilliant in the last 15 mins.

yeah,rather newcastle than spurs.really hate spurs these days.

Following week newcastle gonna play stoke away

I sincerely dont believe Newcastle will be consistent all the way. At some points they will be having droughts. My worry is Tottenham. They are much much more stable than us sometimes.

1/2/3 - MC or MU or Chelsea. 4th - Tottenham or Liverpool.

So I hope the Europa league will tired them out and Liverpool dont have euro should be much more fitter and consistent.

ok finally able to post my tots on the match. was really hoping for a win as yday(sunday) was a special day for me. looking at the line-up was puzzled to see big andy on the bench after his goal in the derby and manu's line up was pretty defensive. understandable and hats off to SAF if u ask me. he came with a plan n got away win a point when for the past 3 seasons, he came away with zero. he has park(a defensive winger) instead of nani to counter enrique. fletcher and jones to frustrate our midfield and welbeck who is pretty quick against a defensive pairing not known for its pace(carra and skrtel).

hence the first half was pretty slow with both teams not creating much. if u realise, our defensive line were pretty deep, main due to the pace of welbeck and young. gerrard imo, apart from his goal, i think he isnt influencing the game much due to the lack of space, with adam around and lucas in the dm role.. we all know adam plays pretty deep due to his passing ability. i trust kenny will come to a solution soon. whether we will stick with a lone man up front or bring back andy, we shall know next week.

so for those who said SAF was scared/cautious, no. its all tactical. he brought on hernandez rooney and nani and went 4-4-2. yes they got their goal. but in 10 mins, we fashioned out 3 great chances (hendo 2, and kuyt 1) and de gea was brilliant (imo expected tho as i've watched him back in la liga and the u-21 euros), he has the quality to be a solid one tho i hope it wont happen of the 3 chances was really upset with the header by hendo, it was a free header, was so gutted, and the kuyt shot which would have gone in has it be another 10inches away from the keeper.

now. newcastle has really caught my eye. with spurs finally finding their feet and yet still able to draw 2-2. they have been on form. arsenal still yet to convince me, and tho i feel for them, i hope they dont find their rhythm as i really want us back in the top4 ! for now, it looks like spurs and us. with arsenal lingering and prolly newcastle the underdogs. hope we will nick it tho still a long way till next may.

up next norwich, we've known to pulling our socks up when playing against so called 'bigger' opponents like the big 4 or 6 now as they say. against 'lesser' teams like these, are what really matters when it comes to the title/ top4.

finally, was pretty upset with the goal. a lapse in concentration with both carra and skrtel losing their man.. to be honest, i really envy manu having hernandez. he was easily the buy of last season, and he's showing its no one season wonder. no wonder even jose wants him in madrid and he just got a new 5 year contract. reminds me of owen when i first started watching football albeit better in the air.

Chicarito - He reminds me of Andy Penders. His looks! His eyes especially. LOL

Want to win Man Utd???

Not so easy!!!!

So tempted to play grammar nazi...

But have decided to write an official 'show-cause' letter to KD instead. What on bloody earth was he thinking? A draw against United? Blah. Unacceptable!

Liverpool v Man Utd at Anfield was supposed to be our 'point-bank', guaranteed 3 points in the bag! What happened? Bleh! Unacceptable!!!

Sack KD!!!!!

I must say I was surprised when I saw your starting lineup. I can understand the need to rest players every now and then and although I agree we aren't exactly contenders for the title, it is still rare for managers to rest players in derbies of this magnitude. Fergie himself mentioned how much importance this tie holds prior to the game. It's also the first time I can remember him selecting such a cautious lineup in your visits to Anfield.

I'm still sticking to my Michael Moores theory that it was partly due to mind games from Kenny and Rafa. The former saying it was just another 3 points and the latter claiming you keep winning because of money I don't agree but if you're playing mind games, you don't always mean what you say.

Oh well. Que sera sera.

I seriously cant comprehend the stupidity of fans of other teams who come here to troll/flame and cant give any constructive comments on ANYTHING.

MamulaMoon: you do know that for the past 3 seasons LFC have beaten MU at Anfield and need I remind you of the 4-1 trashing at OT?

and to those 'other' fans who's taking a snipe at Duke, use the freaking PM function or otherwise grow up and stop whining like a stupid effing illeterate child.

Mamulamoon probably another fanboy of United hopped from another club. Doesn't seem to know the fact that United have not won at Anfield for the past 3 seasons, and of course the 1-4 at OT. I completely agree with you , with some retards posting for no reason and non-constructive-grown-up comments.. keyboard warriors bro..have to live with it..and they do..we don't

chances we can create, but if we dont take them, it will come back to haunt us. again we have to ask after evaluating the season so far. how many match winners that we really do have. how many players that we can sub on and make the opposition worry.

unfortunately in a season without any european distractions, we look like challenging for top 4 rather than the title. as for now, we dont look like title contenders. just being realistic

yeah. if i remember correctly john henry already stated that he does not expect any title this season but UCL spot is a priority. he is well aware that our squad is still rather thin to challenge the likes of both manc sides and chelsea for the league title.

i do agree our squad is still not completed. we already sorted out the left side. the middle is well taken care of for now. the rest of the area still not completed imho. a couple quality additions needed to really challenge for the top.

any reds expecting league title this season is expecting too much id say.. FA and mickey mouse cup on the other hand, is ours to lose.

We played well but I don't see any firepower from the team other than the likes of Suarez and Gerrard. Henderson was a real attacking threat in the closing minutes. Really hoping Henderson would be the next Gerrard, I see potential in him.
