1. united fielded a weaker "second rate" side: The reason i don't get this is mostly out of respect for the talent and depth of manchester's team. welbeck has been instrumental in the start of this season, giggs is a legend whatever he may do in his free time, and park is continuously underrated and under-appreciated. Ashley young's record speaks for itself.
SAF has a history of fielding defensive sides at anfield with last year as an exception (rooney nani berbs starting, chicharito on at half time). suarez was the catalyst in that game and I think the defensive side was meant to contain him and it did for the most part.
2. United was lucky: I think I even stated this at one point but i'm going to retract it because of two things. First: De Gea. nuff said. Second, Chicharito came on fresh after about 80 minutes and skrtel was marking him. we can obviously figure out why he was able to slip away from a CB so easily, well played chich/SAF.
3. Stevie G was lucky: This sort of goes both ways because he was definitely trying to go over not thru the wall. I would like to add this, if you watch the replay, Giggs is already standing a little ways away creating a smaller gap. If I was taking a free kick i'd aim in between that gap (while still going over the wall) that way, if they jump its much harder to block. (sorta hard to explain without visuals i guess but trust me it makes sense!). all in all, luck had very little to do with this game from either side.
4. "United have bigger fish to fry:" this is just ridiculous. while we may not be the most talented team united will face all year, I HIGHLY doubt Ferguson was playing for the draw here, despite playing defensively. imho, he will not love the idea of falling into second place behind the blue side of manchester... correct me if i'm wrong, but being second to city is not something united enjoys.
I agree that champions league is a larger stage, but don't try to tell me that ferguson just willingly dropped to second place in the premier league table. he wants every 3 points he can get because he wants 20 titles. Also, don't demean our great rivalry, that's just no fun. You don't just nonchalantly drop 2 points, especially to a historical rival.
5. Adam dived: No, he really didn't, and I don't even think he went down too softly. if you're running at full pace concentrating on the ball (especially if you're not a worldclass dribbler) and someone clips your heel or catches a bootlace you're gonna go down.
6. Just to reiterate: De Gea is a beast. hang on to that lad.
cheers!
I've been a chivas fan since i can remember..my mother's family is from Guadalajara Mexico and chivas are basically a religion there. they're my first love when it comes to footie. I got into Man united around 2006 so im kinda a new fan in a sense. what Am i not supposed to like other teams or something? i see people on footytube with like 10 different teams and some of them even play in the same league..
and no i h8 spain and argentina..the only National team i support is Mexico and i guess the US since it's my national duty~
anyway good advice there. debate is okay, but don't forget stay civil.
haha ok whatever... that united team was still good, or nearly a complete team.. so still it was a full united team, in my eyes.. and Liverpool actually battered united up in possession and everything, just unlucky not to score..
you united fans always can't take things my goodness...
Untied were nothing that day..they were absolutely nothing!
And lucky!
Well, yes on paper that looks like Liverpool steam-rolled didn't they?
A mark of a champion is to play badly and still get a point. To say liverpool DOMINATED is ridiculous, I think Fergie was happy with a draw away from home considering we have a champions league match and a manchester derbie in the next 7 days.
A liverpool team without Suarez wouldn't be the attacking force it is, a United team without Rooney, Hernandez and Nani cannot be blamed for not having more chances.
shots(on goal) *15(5) // 11(2)
corners 8 // 3
"haha...ok watever. That united team was good, or nearly complete."
The fact that you (our bitter rivals) acknowledge the weaker version of our team to be good shows you the depth we have on the bench. Either that...or you wish you were playing the A United side because that would be a blow to your egos to think otherwise.
unless you have better arguments as to why you guys didn't snatch a win (here's a good one: loserpool suck) then don't come on here and post ur insipid b.s.
just cuz u said united are a fantastic team that doesn't excuse you from making stupid claims
insipid was an unfortunate word to use considering the incoherent little tantrum you just had.
United were in the back foot for the last 15 minutes...I agree. And what makes you think you wouldve kept out Rooney Hernandez and Nani if they played a full 90 minute? They came on for 2 minutes and scored.
It's all about, ifs, could be, would be, should be...get over it. It's a draw
That goal was down to poor defending not added ability.
i did wish that he had put out our first team against lfc... im still big on the romance of our rivalry.
i still think the freekick was a lucky break for an otherwise blunt lfc team.
A United team with cleverly,anderson,young and nani are more than a match for any liverpool starting midfield. Torn apart... which is why Liverpool got crushed against Spurs and United are still undefeated?
Deluded 'pool fans as usual, only in the summer they thought they would have a go at the title..
yeah...
