Defending like a bunch of retards at the moment. Fucking hell.

[stokeriño]

RVP will be pissed that Liverpool haven't done their bit to set him up for his customary 3-2 injury time winner.

[Starvinho]

Massive win, didn't think we were gonna hold on in the end. Respect to Liverpool for making a game of it though, unlucky not to get something out of it. Just hope Arsenal can do us a favour now...

[Colly]

Lifeline for Liverpool. De Gea should've done better.

That, in no way, was De Gea's fault.

Correct. Poor from Rafael who should've been paying attention.

[Hobo]

Better second half, bar that awful defending for the second. It's nice to have two strikers.

Never expected a win to be honest.

How exactly? The defender could have possibly done more but De Gea was at full stretch for that first save, he was just unfortunate that it fell to Sturridge.

I like De Gea a lot and am not one to blast him for every United goal like so many people tend to do, but I personally felt he could've pushed it wider than what he did. I wholeheartedly agree that Sturridge should've been tracked a lot better by Rafael though.

A 2-1 win is fair. Rodgers was afraid and timid in his tactics. Lucky to even have had a chance back into the game after how shit the first half was. Sturridge showed why he will be loved and hated... he's infuriating one moment, praised another. Gah!

Not too sure how Welbeck was man of the match, he was energetic yes but he produced some woeful shots and touches at times.

[Starvinho]

Welbeck did put in a shift today, even though you're right, his final ball/finishing was poor. Think Carrick would've been my MOTM to be honest.

[MJB]

Welbeck was awful with the ball today, no idea how he got MotM. Carrick would be my pick.

And a big 'fuck you' to people like Redknapp, Savage, Souness and anyone else who blames De Gea for Sturridge's goal. He's at full stretch to make a good save, he pushes it to his right and Rafael just doesn't react. Where does anyone expect De Gea to push it? Towards the penalty spot? Ridiculous.

Anyway, crucial three points and now I can watch Arsenal vs. City without too much stress.

[brenchill]

Yeah, that was a top save from De Gea to be fair to him. Not much more he could have done.

[Dynamite]

Redknapp came across so bitter in his 'analysis'. Blaming de Gea for the goal and saying he's not a "great goalkeeper" because he pushed the ball away at full stretch was ridiculous. Then he said Vidic was offside for the second goal when he was clearly behind Evra. Souness and Neville are obviously trying to be impartial in their punditry, he doesn't seem to bother with this at all.

[brenchill]

"I can't really give you a technical answer to that question." no change there then, Jamie.

[MJB]

What the fuck is Koscielny doing?

Cunt.

WHAT A FUCKING SAVE!

[DavidMarrio]

What a shite pen and what the fuck was Koscielny thinking?!?!

Mertesacker on for Chamberlain

[FLiam]

Fuck. This will be tricky.

[MJB]

What the fuck is Koscielny doing?

Cunt.

WHAT A FUCKING SAVE!

Obviously, the save wasn't actually that great really. I was just very happy that it hadn't gone in

[Colly]

Niall Quinn is getting annoying blaming the ref for spoiling the game. Presume he's in the 'if you break someone's leg in the first minute don't send them off' crowd.

[Starvinho]

Quality finish by Milner, pretty much game over already I reckon.

[Colly]

Edit: Weirdly delayed double post, he's annoying me again now though, ref perfectly correct to pull back that advantage.
