rio,vidic rooney, berbatov, carrick the latest in a­ long line of over rated manc players. Scholes, giggs,­ well past it- continue to play them please- its funny.­ Fernando Torres- World class.2-0 you pothunting­ southerners.

MU let Liverpool have space in the midfield. MU­ committed the same error in the game vs Barcelona. The­ only way that you can stop strikers like Torres or Eto­ is to stop the supply to them. Once they get the ball,­ it is too late to do anything. MU's midfield­ defense was not exist in that game. Carrick is slow,­ Scholes is old while Fletcher was not in the game.­
Fletcher is the most important player in the midfield­ in a big game. Take a look of record, if he is in a­ big game, MU wins. If he is not, MU loses. He is the­ only player in MU (Hagreaves is still injuried) who can­ really clear out the midfield. Midfield is the key in­ big game. Who controls the midfield, who wins.

f**k u akhaht

Fair's fair - on the day we got beaten by the­ better team. The first goal was quite simple - we were­ defending too high up the pitch and Rio Ferdinand got­ beaten for pace by the man who is probably Europe's­ best centre forward. The second goal was also quite­ simple - everyone was right up forward in a desperate­ attempt to get the equaliser which inevitably left the­ goalkeeper exposed.

But Liverpool fans shouldn't­ get carried away with this win. Consider the following­ factors:

1) United, as a whole, just didn't come­ to the party. They didn't compete in midfield and­ allowed the majority of second half possession to­ Liverpool meaning a lack of decent attacking chances.­ Additionally this fixture always brings the best out of­ Liverpool - I think that this is the best that­ Liverpool have played in a long time and United the­ worst I have seen them for a long time.

2) Key United­ players such as Giggs, Scholes, Rooney and Ferdinand­ were unusually quiet. I rather suspect that they will­ be having a serious talk with the manager about their­ performance level.

3) Evra was booked very early for­ only his second challenge (and the first one was not­ even a foul - TV evidence clearly shows that Torres­ tripped over his own feet) which somewhat restricted­ him. Lucas, on the other hand was allowed free licence­ to foul all over the pitch without being booked.

4)­ Carragher should have definitely been sent off - the­ last man hauling down an opposing striker gets sent off­ in any other match. If he had the result might easily­ have been a draw.

I'm not blaming the referee for­ the result - it's obvious that United were the­ party who let Liverpool have so much domination and­ therefore take the win. But Liverpool fans should note­ that they won't meet up with such non-combative­ midfields every week, nor will they meet with such­ co-operative refereeing. I look forward to the rest of­ the season.......

i like your analysis evra.you are the best left back in­ the world,fearless though and attacking.you dnt respect­ any striker.i think the team was lacking in midfield­ and blunt strikeforce.giggs didnt show up the usual­ way,rooney must lose a bit of weight to his usual body­ when he came to trafford.he is tiring so easily.my man­ of the match is benayoun not torres as all analysts wld­ want to say.he was a thorn in man u flesh.fergie ddnt­ know how to neutralise him.

david it nice to see sense on one of these boards for­ once instead of just fan boy yelling im a liverpool fan­ an i hate to admit but its at this point i hav to say i­ think ur view of the season looks about right then­ again liverpool always seem to do there best when there­ most writen of so well just hav to wait and see

F---- Looserpool were luky. Mariner was a Looserpool­ #12 player!!! And in old trafford MU will trash f----­ looserpool!!!

Admit it you were completely out classed mate

And just to add....if you were asked before the game­ who might get sent off? You'd have picked Vidic and­ Mascherano! Although I think Carragher was lucky not to­ join them.

Putting my loyalties to one side for a minute, it must­ be said that on the day Liverpool desrved the 3 points.­ That's just how it goes. It doesn't mean­ there's a crisis at Old Trafford, nor that­ Liverpool are back in contention for anything, yet.­
Anyone with any knowledge of football will know that­ United and Liverpool are two of the top club teams in­ the world, each with a proud history, intense rivalry­ and passionate fan base. ( As we see on these boards­ all too often). Torres is a top class striker and took­ his chance very well.
I still think that over the­ course of the season, United will triumph and finally­ break Liverpools record, but only a fool would count­ Liverpool out this early in the season. There's­ still a long way to go and a lot of points to be won­ and lost.

8..Man U Forever Torres was only 80% fit..fact..and­ your logic is somewhat strange..really only 1 nil..does­ that mean that if you discount the 1st goal too then it­ wouldve ended nil nil..or if say Owen had managed to­ somehow work out where the Liverpool goal was put one­ past Reina..you wouldve won one nil..thing is he didnt­ and it was 2-0..do you understand??

seond time in a row torres has destroyed the united­ defence they just cant handle him even drogba couldnt­ beat vidic and ferdinand last year bu torres has ripped­ them apart twice just proves why hes the best foward in­ england right now

Men against boys small man Evra.

we need a goal scorer like villa

or maybe ronaldinhio

You were playing a better team lad
