    This from a few months ago when Lloyd used to post in here (after the Swansea defeat). Think it lasted most of the Moyes era plus maybe 6 weeks of LvG reign :pac:

    Shame to see so many Utd supporters gloating about Liverpool's sorry state rather than reveling in a good win and a big step forward.

    I never saw them as a genuine threat this season.

    They were absolutely unbearable last season with their gloating at us - a taste of their own medicine will do them the world of good to put them in their rightful place.

    Absolutely delighted atm with the team and Van Gaal. Good few starters missing today but credit has to be given where it is due, I've been a big critic of Val and Young but both have been very solid recently. Happy with Fellaini today also even though I thought it he'd likely see red. I really hope Falcao gets a decent run to prove himself though, half the season is basically gone and we've seen very little.

    Fuck 'em,non stop gloating last season,celebrating winning the title a month before the season ended,filling the humour thread with digs at United only to have it come close to being locked this season when the shoe is on the other foot.All the jerseys that were seen everywhere last year are gone back into the wardrobes again and the insufferable drivel about "our year" has stopped,I for one am glad the universes is coming back into alignment and they are back where they belong.

    I never really get involved in the United Liverpool "banter" but a lot of their fans were great at giving it out last year so they can be great at taking it this year. The mid-table team comments never got old last year.

    The amount of people i met last season who until 2013/2014 had never expressed an interest in discussing football, who were now liverpool fanatics and had all sorts of theories and forecasts about our demise have gone very quiet again. remember the wheel always turns so dont gloat too much , we could be on the receiving end again

    Par for the course victory against mid-table fodder/Europa chasers. Got a nice betting return for United -2 as well, easiest money I'll make this week.

    The reason for our six wins in a row, I believe, is down to Michaelangelo Carrick* more than anyone else.

    We are now playing a system that lives and breathes on our defenders being comfortable on the ball and able to pick a pass. Jonny Evans struggled to complete simple five yard passes today, Jones the same, without Carrick in there we would have been suffocated. There was even one time when Jones looked up, saw Van Persie in a tight window, then turned back and gave it to Carrick, who took a touch and then fizzed the ball through a now even tighter window to Van Persie's feet. I know Jones and Evans are coming back from a long layoff but I clenched my cheeks every time either of them had the ball, and could only unclench when Carrick was on it.

    Carrick has strolled into this situation of panic and basically said "Lads, whats all the fuss about, will yous calm your tits please?" and as a result, Young, Fellaini, and especially RVP have calmed their tits to the point that they are now all performing at their best.

    *=I'm calling him Michaelangelo Carrick now because he is playing the game with the poise and class of a ****ing renaissance painter.

    Most of the chances given up today were from poor play out of the back,cut this out and we'll look a lot better.Carrick was the only one back there who looked comfortable on the ball from the off.

    Valencia discovered he is able to go by players today and it was a joy to watch,hopefully the days of turn back Tony are going.

    See Valenciadinho nutmeg the Liverpool player and assist Rooney?

    Would be nice if he could do that consistently.

    I love that he stopped, looked back and realised he was the right back and there was nobody to pass it back to and only then did he think "actually I can do something here". The Valencia who first came to United wouldn't have had that hesitation against Joe fúcking Allen anyway...

    I'm obviously delighted with the result, we were clinical and they were awful in front of goal. De Gea was immense once more, sterling could have had 10 more one on ones and still wouldn't score.
    One negative is how uncomfortable we looked passing it around at the back. Johnny Evans had a shocker for me. He really hasnt adapted to his new role in the defence, and right now I'd start rojo and even Carrick ahead of him as a CB.
    Herrera and Falcao really deserve more game time as well. I thought they both had glimpses of their class today. I can't wait for the day we get Shaw, Rafael, di Maria, Herrera and falcao starting together.

    +1

    After last season, all bets are now off. A few years ago when they were struggling badly, I often thought to myself that it wasn't good for the league to be seeing the likes of Liverpool fading away. HAHAHAHAHAHA!!! Those sentiments are long buried in the ground after last season, I won't be able to see them fail/fúck up enough now!

    Kinda feel sorry for Liverpool fans

    Its like your next door neighbour thinking he has just won the lotto, say 19million, he ****s and gloats about it in front of you. When he arrives at Lotto centre to collect his money he falls on his ****ing hole, hands ticket over only to realise he had last years numbers.

    Back to normality.

    I'm just delighted.

    Won't say single bad word about them after that.

    De Game deserves special praise though. Fellaini had super 2nd half..

    Roll on MOTD.

    Especially as he got booked after first few minutes.

    Fellaini has had some decent games for us but today in 2nd half he came of age.

    Bloody delighted for him. Never deserved the crap he got over the summer.

    Wayne Rooney was immense today too, a complete performance. The above picture happened in the space of about 20 seconds.

    December was a deciding month for us last year. We had a shocker. Hopefully this one is opposite.

    So far so good.
