de Gea made two (at least) fantastic saves.... Was outstanding - the save from Henderson was top class!

~Rebel~ · 15-10-2011 01:41PM

Enjoyed the game. Pity Henderson couldn't make himself a hero with his 2 chances at the death.

I hate Utd at corners, we've conceded so many over the last few years, every time they got one today I got that sense of foreboding.

Le King · 15-10-2011 01:41PM

Didn't see the game. Should of played our best 11 from the start. 2 points dropped. City almost certainly will win today.

murpho999 · 15-10-2011 01:41PM

Looking forward to Sean Bateman's verdict on the game.

I think Fergie set up his team to be drawing at 70 minutes and then push on for the win in the last 20. Plan was working until Adam's dive.

and would have only for it. still delighted, possibly the hardest game of the year with the exception of stamford bridge put to bed now

But they didn't take them in the 2nd half with Rooney and Nani on, your post makes no sense.

Utd scored 1 after the substitution, compared to 0 before it.

niallo27 · 15-10-2011 01:42PM

How did liverpool not got 3 pts there against what looks like a very adverage utd side.

won the game from when they came on til the end so yours doesn't. United with arguably their 3 best attackers on the bench were as good as Liverpool first half just didn't have that bit of ingenuity in the final third. Welbeck didn't suit the lone striker role at all.

Grayditch · 15-10-2011 01:42PM

Great second half. Shame we couldn't hold the lead. I think Smalling and De Gea stopped that turning into solid loss.

BERBA · 15-10-2011 01:43PM

2pts behind pool 2 games in hand ....lovely jubley

#15 · 15-10-2011 01:43PM

Henderson did well for Liverpool when he came on.

Daemonic · 15-10-2011 01:43PM

Better 2nd half, but I think the big winners today are the Mods :P

Really annoyed at Fergie's team selection tbh, Liverpool were there for the taking first half.

Yeah, i should have added considering the team selection too it was a good point.

I just can't understand why we started with just the 1 up front when we have so many options up there. And that resting certain players after international duty doesn't stand up much as an argument considering fletcher, evra and a few other who played during the week started. Don't think anderson was even in the brazil squad.

I was confident of winning before the game but when i seen the team sheet i was much less optimistic about our chances.

Fair result both teams very defensive.

Yeah, very defensive :rolleyes: 14 attempts to 10 in Liverpools favour.

De Gea kept United in it. Ferguson will be the happier of the 2 mnanagers by a mile.

Not disappointed by a draw at all - a point against Utd is always a good result for any team, but Liverpool really should have won it by a few goals.

Drumpot · 15-10-2011 01:44PM

Thank god we equalised as I was dissapointed at not looking forward to the premiership and match of the day. Once again united players just never give up, it's not luck it's just class!

Fair enough result although I think liverpool shaded it. Would of been gutted to lose with the goal they got.

De Gea deserves loads of credit. Didn't put a foot wrong and made impressive saves. Only see him getting better and better. Funnily enough, alot of our better forwards are nicely rested for next weeks game against city !

K-9 · 15-10-2011 01:44PM

Well it was United hanging on at the end. Liverpool didn't take their chances.

Fuhrer · 15-10-2011 01:46PM

Thought it was a rubbish game. Very scrappy.

1-1 draw but since Adam dived we can always tell people that we "should" have won...

smokedeels · 15-10-2011 01:46PM

Happy with the point, DDG is class.

Kerrydude1981 · 15-10-2011 01:46PM

What I cant understand is why wasnt Rio sent off if he fouled Adam,De Gea was MOTM by a long way,couple of super saves to get a point for Utd.

jesus_thats_gre · 15-10-2011 01:47PM

Credit to Rio, admitted that there was contact with Adam for the free kick. Obviously added that he didn't believe that it was enough contact to bring him down but still, good to see honesty like that.

Jesus Wept · 15-10-2011 01:47PM

ffs. Adam was running at full pelt and there was contact from Ferdinand, clipped the outside of his boot and sent him sprawling.

Essien · 15-10-2011 01:48PM

United were there for the taking today, Liverpool were easily the better side. De Gea kept United in it, he put in some shift, fair play to him.

Yeah. If only Adam had the honesty to stay on his feet too, we'd all be happy!

kmart6 · 15-10-2011 01:48PM

That was a very strange interview!!!

v3ttel · 15-10-2011 01:48PM

Clear dive from Adam, David De Gea was immense. Hanging on towards the end but happy with a point given our bizzarre team/tactical selection.

Agreed and then gerrard said he took a bad free kick. Good to see some honesty.

Liverpool had good chance after the subs and could easily have won the game only for De Gea.

Earlier on people were saying it was Fergie's tactical genius having Rooney and Nani to come on and run a tired Liverpool ragged but it didn't happen and Fergie has shown that he respects Liverpool as a good team more so than Utd fans.

Jaysus, adam is hardly a fatso or anything nor short on balance.

If he touched the outside of adams boot you really think that in reality a player would fall over without having to dive? Clear dive end of discussion.

Doesn't take away that Giggs failure to stay in the wall has cost us the goal.

Essien · 15-10-2011 01:51PM

Have we not got over bitching about diving? Really?! Every team has somebody who's guilty of it, it happens ALL the time. Are ye all new to the game or something?

FTR I'm not saying it was a dive, I couldn't see, stream wasn't great.

Jesus Wept · 15-10-2011 01:51PM

lol@all the people who maintained there was no contact. Go ask Rio. Enough said.
Change your tune now and talk about how it wasn't enough contact to bring him down.
