Obviously the fixture attracts a lot of interest as it is so mega - however, though we have done well at Anfield generally, the margins are very very small - there is a long way to go yet, and yes, you have to say that we are favourites to finish above the 'pool, but the likes of Torres will win 'pool a lot of games this season - as long as they play him Were any of the players' properties broken into whilst the game was on ????

Yes I agree Liverpool is not getting positive results at the moment.In soccer ten points may not make a difference at the end of the season.Liverpool are known to be great masters of their fate.Who knows five games down the line one might find a difference of three points.At the same this boardroom tension also casts a pall of doom in perfomance of a team.

Liverpool have reached two out of the last three European Cups and as much I deny they won it on 05 it happened. As a United Fan it pains me such is my dislike.
However, whilst I grudgingly accept this happened and before Mr Newman argues this is mainly about penis size, the fact is Liverpool have been awful for years. We all know this...the only difference is Liverpool fans refuse to admit that players like Crouch (joke) and Kuyt (tireless worker but ultimately useless) are unlikely to ever win you the League. Torres obviously fills people with fear something that Crouch will never do and until you have a few more like your precious Stevie G and Torres then realistically you cannot compete.
I appreciate you have won the European Cup but even you guys have to admit that it was possibly the worst team to win a European Cup (perhaps Porto take the title but it is close run) in history and was a tragedy for football on the whole. It was why Ancelloti refused to accept that his team could have lost to such an awful team...and why all of Europe say Liverpool play ugly football. There is potential in your club and Rafa is an excellent manager...let's not forget he got Valencia to the final twice....but the truth is he knows there is too much rubbish to win a campaign....it is why Mourinho's comments last year were so so accurate. Until you are competing in your own League the real European worth cannot be examined because you are able to rest your players...which is why your trophies carry less value.

Im a liverpool fan but i still agree with Scenicjoker to a certain extent. CL win 05' was a bit of a fluke. Fair enuf we showed a lot of heart and desire, especially in the final, but to say we were the best team in europe would b way off d mark. Scenicjoker is right in sayin that many of our players jus arent up 2 it eg. kuyt (should b playin in d championship. always gives 100% but way out of his depth no talent - no skill, no pace, no shot, no pass, no vision... nothin.. no quality), reina is decent but a bit dodgy, hyypia is past it, riise isnt actually a very good defender, he's nothin without his left foot, kewell's lost it, alonso doesnt seem 2 b at it anymore, voronin is d same as kuyt... d list goes on... d only players we hav who would hav any chance whatsoever of gettin in 2 one of d other "big 4" startin 11 would be Gerrard, Carra, Reina, Finnan, Torres nd Mascherano. ive been impressed by babel so far but havent seen enuf of him yet. he was d only 1 on sunday who wasnt afraid 2 try somethin. most of d others played like drones nd wer happy enuf 2 jus thump it up towards torres. but scenicjoker claims rafa is a gr8 manager but it's him who has signed all these terrible players (kuyt, voronin, gonzalez, nunez, kromkamp, zenden) i think its time 4 benitez 2 take a walk. we're not goin anywhere. he signs brutal players nd den switches d team around relentlessly which cant b doin any1 any favours. us liverpool fans deserve better!!

All man utd does at anfield is to shut up shop which to me is an utter disgrace to the footballing community

all man utd did was to play a boxing match with torres and they were getting away with it

I saw the referee give nothing but united free-kicks when they were liverpool's

I bet SAF paid the ref to match fix that game

scenicjoker:

as a man utd fan, how can you say that liverpool didn't deserve to win in 2005?? i will be the first to admit they didnt play well in the final, but they got the result. end of story.

did you not see the CL final in 1999?? are you saying man utd deserved to win that game after being battered for 89mins?? No? thats cos they got the result. they got the result and they won. thats all that counts.

what about this years final?? liverpool played milan off the park, and the only difference is that milan took their chances. they won.

its a bit like sundays game. liverpool were the better team in the first half, but united scored with their only chance, and won the game. results are all that count, right?

Sceinic Joker I am a liverpool fan and I have been saying for ages on this profile and smileyliverpoolfan file have been saying players have been not up to a good emough standard but often my view views are shot down by other 606 members. Search for the tread Rafa Under Pressure and this is apparant. Your comments are correct .

Aso a question how many key passes has Masch made to lead to scoring this season? Reina has 2.

It was inevitable.

I knew United would win, it brings me dispare but I just don't see the spark at Liverpool. Watching the game was painful. United weren't even on the top of there game either, we were just our usual crap against them. The players were mentally up for the game I think but they don't have enough technique. United never looked in danger, apart from one set piece.

If you compare it with Arsenals HOME performance to Chelsea, U we were litterly rubbish. Arsenal showed a master-class performance, and not once in years, apart from against Chelsea in the bloody CL, have I seen Liverpool take a game apart with one of the rivals.

It is annoying!

We took Chelsea apart at Anfield last season and we were much better than them this season but the ref cheated us, we need to get rid of crap players like Kuyt, Sissoko and Voronin though, Babel and Torres could be a good strike partnership with Kewell on the left, Gerrard on the right and Alonso and Mascherano in the middle

16 games and 30 points. Does that seem like championship form? I'm not sure. We will need at least 80 points to win the league. That still might not be enough.

LFC need to have a very merry christmas and collect maximum points from these games. That will give us confidence for the second half of the season. I think a lot of the poor results in the league lately have something to do with the pressure put on us from our poor start in the champions league.

If we had of started well in that competition we could have pushed harder in league games.

So lets all Liverpool fans be positive and hope for a strong push for honours in May.
