First bad news of the day is that Vidic is out for United.
Here are the teams
Liverpool: Reina, Kelly, Skrtel, Agger, Johnson, Gerrard, Allen, Shelvey, Borini, Suarez, Sterling. Subs: Jones, Jose Enrique, Sahin, Assaidi, Henderson, Carragher, Fernandez Saez.
Man Utd: Lindegaard, Da Silva, Ferdinand, Evans, Evra, Carrick, Giggs, Valencia, Kagawa, Nani, van Persie. Subs: De Gea, Anderson, Hernandez, Welbeck, Scholes, Cleverley, Buttner.
Referee: Mark Halsey (Lancashire)
Surely, Vidic is hurt.
I hope he his and Fergie isn't upset with him or resting him!
BBC are saying Vidic is being rested!
Rodgers and Fergie are giving a duel interview before the match
Greetings from London, Dave! We're gathered around the box after a smashing Sunday dinner to watch two cracking matches today. Glad to join you!
Glad to see my boy Nani in the line-up, but why is Fergie going with RVP up front alone?
Liverpool in the tunnel.. here comes United
FSC will surely go to commercial then
Hey Bob... say hello to Steve and your Dad
Will do, mate. Everything's going well here today.
BBC are still saying 'resting' for Vidic
FSC say he is hurt
Good morning UWS and BD from Glenville and London . Dinner from London and morning coffee from Harlingen.
Classy move to have the United trackies with the #96 on them today.
I second that. Please say hi to your dad
Of course.. there is the damn handshake... Evra and Suarez shake... who bloody cares
Afternoon/morning, MUR - great to have you on board today.
I agree BD. I hope our fans don't do anything stupid at Anfield
I like the handshakes - it's a sporting gesture.
Didn't see that.. nice one
Thanks BD. I wish they would do away with the prematch handshake. They didn't do that in our day
Gooner has dozed off before the match has even started! The curse of a big Sunday roast.
Giggs can't rip through plastic... how will he do with the Liverpool defense
I hope the crowds grow up and stop chanting about Hillsborough AND Munich
Great shot of the stands
"justice and truth"
United are chanting over Walk on ... that is okay
If we win at Anfield then we keep pace with Chelski and Liverputz stay in the drop zone. Lets defeat those schmucks!
I saw that As I was fixing my morning cuppa
Hopefully Gooner will be up for the Midlle Eastern Derby as the team from the EM travels to the Etihad!
Away we go
We're off from Anfield! Come on, you Reds!
They're off from Anfield!
COME ON YOU WHiTES!
Good possession from United so far
Why Reds,BD???
Lovely stuff from my boy Nani!
It's all United form the off.
Stick your Reds up your left nostril BD!
I'm neutral today - I just want an open match with one of the red teams winning.
Not sure why Lindy is playing today
De Gea has been doing well
Who says I wasn't supporting United, UWS - you're the Reds too!
Didn't he miss a pen in the CL match?????Someone else can do that
That's it.. you're banned
I'll have to whip out the smelling salts for Gooner when the late match comes on. He's old cold.
No. They are. We are the Red Devils!
United haven't scored a pen all year... missed three!
"neutral"
Gloomy old day in Great Britain today.
He won't want to miss the Mid East Derby. Etihad vs Emirates!
Corner for Liverpool on their first trip inside United's half
Glen wins a Liverputz corner.
So why do the United fans sing "Gary Neville is a Red - doo dah, doo dah."
Taken short by srevie G then headed away
Oh - mad scramble in the United box!
I am surprised . It was a beautiful day yesterday. Looks like another sunny day here day. Still early doors. Wide by Giggs,s then Lindy saves well from Suarez from close range.
And now Rafa is forced to head over. Good pressure by the Liverpool Reds.
Oh - Gerrards pings one into the side netting!
Stevie G shoots just wide from a short corner from Shelvey
Still waiting for your response, UWS. Or have I run rings round you, logically?
KNOCK IT OFF UNITED!
YOU'RE PLAYING A TEAM IN THE DROP ZONE!
Response to what.. just came back from the loo
I thought it was sunny yesterday, but the UK is subject to rapid weather changes.
That means you are back to match fitness, UWS???
Gooner's antics are making me dozy as well. I need a goal!
Were you reading a great big book on "How to Put Your Budgie Down" UWS?
Clen Johnson wanted a foul for bumping into Raffa. The alert Mark Hlasey wasn't falling for that
Struth... a better touch and it was a goal for the Italian
I just hit it with the book
What antics was Gooner up to
Thankfully Borini took too long to shoot as he was put through by Suarez and his shot was blocked and cleared.
He's dozed off on the couch next to me.
He;'s getting ready for the Mid East Derby. It requires a great deal of rest
Stop the booing United fans... just let Suarez get on with it
Michael must be cheesed that Cardiff blew a two goal lead at Palace.
Don't wake him
I am a big Gunners fan today.
Agreed, UWS
How long are you going to be over in England?
Where is your dad going to stay?
No comments to my Mid East Derby or Liverputz remarks? were they that bad???
We're back with my dad a week tomorrow. He'll be in an assisted living place in D.C.
I think Bob said he's leaving next Sunday
Sorry, MUR - I missed those.
Close to Steve?
My morning cuppa has been a big help this morning
Not happy so far with United's performance.... I haven't for the last couple of years!
That includes a Championship and a runners up place on goal difference
I called the next match the Mid East Derby and our Anfield opponents Liverputz.
Liverpool want a pen... it could have been called
Oh - Agger goes down under the challenge of Jonny Evans. Nothing doing from Referee Halsey.
I second that,UWS.
I didn't think it was a pen
Just saw Untied's shorts.. they are tablecloth checkered as well
Rio was down, but I think he will be okay. Injury or age???
I think United have made a mistake of trying to play like Barcelona. We got beat by them and Fergie wanted to play like him
Are you ready for the mini reunion in UWS? Lots of fun , chores , dog walks , etc. It will be lots of fun.
COME ON MAN U
COME ON MAN U
COME ON MAN U
I agree, UWS. We need to go back to playing our own match. I hope United don't go strikerless.!
Not a lot from GBB RVP yet today.
Definitely a trip by Kelly on Kagawa.
The Nocitos may be in Charlotte at that time!
Sorry
Nani with a hopeless effort... send him to Elland Road
Actually not far over from that Nani free kick
Nani with a wicked free kick there really threatening.
Threatening the fourth row of the Kop!
Who's Charlotte? And why are the Nocitos living inside of her?
Sorry to hear that. It will be a blast if you are here. You and Bob can room in the spare bedroom. sparky would love a dog walk.
Has Kagawa done anything yet?
Actually, has ANY United player done anything?
Naughty from BD! I guess more action from that then from RVP who has spent less time on the ball then I have with my cuppa
Tom on Twitter: "Seems to me that some of the players on United's teamsheet haven't made it on to the pitch!!!"
United have a free kick and it somehow goes backwards!
I'm not sure that there's enough room inside of Charlotte for all of you. You should come to Texas instead, UWS!
Kagawa has been busy reading Manga's while RVP has been at the hair stylist
United are second best EVERYWHERE on the pitch!
Why is Tom twatting? Isn't he watching the match with you in Glenville?
At least United haven't fallen behind
Thanks, BD. Great promo. Are you talking about Charlotte or her web? I'm afraid the girls hate spiders!Or is it a different web???
How big is Charlotte anyway?
Agreed, UWS! I think Charlotte would do better than RVP today?
Another Tom I would assume!
Tom is still sleeping!
Got home late from his game yesterday
They won and are 8-1
That should be a card for Evra
Didn't get on... United are USELESS
Evra lunges in and the Pool faithful doesn't like it.
Looked like a fair tackle by Evra on sterling, but it's a free kick inches outside the box.
Free kick comes to nothing
Where is United's skill and pace?
Headed well wide by suarez off the free kick from Stevie G
Well done Tom. Keep up the good work.
Is it the lappy?
1400:
United are still looking lethargic, and Liverpool are still dominating possession but - with 30 minutes gone - the score remains 0-0.
How can't United be up for this one?
It was the same on Wednesday. They get booted out of the CL in the group stages and it was the first time to redeem yourself!
Good thing Crouchie wasn't in the box as that corner was too high for everyone.
WHAT A HOPELESS PASS BY NANI... NOT EVEN CLOSE
Shocking behavior from Tom - I'll have to needle him on Facebook for missing his beloved United on the box.
SSorry . I was thinking about my laptop. I was meaning to ask if Tom was playing for the college in that excellent victory
I didn't even know Valencia was on the pitch
The only players I have noticed are the defenders.. not a good sign
United's skill and pace have gone to Bognor Regis for a day out at the seaside.
GET INVOLVED
Michael Bedwell on Twitter: "If Liverpool had someone who could put the ball in the net, then Utd might not win this game, but of course, we don't, so they will."
He must be knackered from that match played yesterday.Be nice to Tom!
What kind of clearance was that from Evra???
United's passing is pathetic
I would change some players now... forget about half time
Except for RVP, who is too busy applying Grecian Formula.
Shelvy is in trouble here - did he throw the elbow.
And he's off!
AND SHELVEY HAS BEEN SENT OFF!
A BREAK FOR UNITED!
Shelvey is OFF.. that is going to turn up the anger from the Liverpool players and fans!
Two fouls and the second with a follow up cleat
Not sure if I would have given a red
Oh - that was XXX. Nasty stuff, even though Smithy thinks it was borderline. What was he looking at?
The right call as it was a two footed lunge. Stupid from Shelvey, but if he wants to help us, who am I to complain.
Again... no red in my book... that was a normal tackle for Graham Souness.
Suarez goes down like a sack of potatoes.
He cheats, he dives - he hates the Jackson 5 - Luis Suarez!
According to the rules, a two footed llunge is a straight red and a three match suspension. Clumsy from Rio on suarez.
Oh - Suarez gets up and fizzes a free kick straight at Lucky Lindy!
Decent effort for the guy that went down like he was shot 10 seconds earlier... decent save by Lindy
I disagree. , UWS. Also that rule wasn't in the books when Souey was playing
"Busier of the two keepers"?.... has Pepe touched the ball?
Yeah - but even Souness' day, anything less than someone's leg hanging off was a mere ticking off.
With the extra man, Fergie should bring on another front player.
Don't bring on Scholes.. he will be sent of
Suarez complaining that Rio went down on a challenge... YOU CAN'T TALK!!
Hopeless again by Nani
United haven't pressed their advantage yet. I'd like to see two up front in the second half. What ever happened to strike partnerships?
Now I agree, UWS. .Shelvey knows that a two footed challenge is a straight red. All the managers give these tips to their players.
Shelvey yells and points at Fergie on his way off.. what was that all about?
Liverpool still the better team
You lay off my boy Nani. He's a lovely boy - and what's more he knows how to treat a female impersonator.
Some halftime changes from SAF???
Some halftime changes from SAF???
Two minutes of stoppage time
Shelvy wants a bit of Fergie's half-time haggis, apparently.
Blow up ref... United have been hopeless
WOW! A triple comment! AMAZING!
Agreed, UWS!
BLOW UP REF!
What is the crowd screaming at with that great Dahlgren-like tackle by Rio
That's it... thankfully... we have survived!
Halftime and somehow 0-0 from Anfield
This one smells like a 0-0 draw for me.
I made tackles like that too!
The main talking points of the half were the XXX rated tackle from Shelvey and Charlotte!
Eric is anti-United all the time
Who cares what game it is
Back from the loo making room for breakfast and Jacquelyn is making quesadillas.How can you pass that up , UWS???
Great tackle on the ref from yesterday..
Ref jokes and shows a red to both players.... classic
I ignore Eric!!! He acts worse than my kids?. He's like the kids that are regulars in detention!
Waldo should get the red card!
Agreed, Bob.I just checked. BLOODY HELL!!! it's 51 , windy ,and rainy in London. A miserable day. You could see that in Harlingen or it could be warm and sunny. It's too early to tell.
Yeah - fortunately, we got in before it started raining and have just spent the day going through some boxes of old stuff and now watching the footer.
I'd have some of Jacquelyn's quesadillas!
The second half is underway from Anfield
It's the wee man Suso on for the second half instead of Borini.
Old Man Scholes is on for Nani who was United's best player in the first half. Fergie is a plonker!
Will do, BD.Also for UWS if he's not too busy in Charlotte's web
GOAL! Captain Courageous scores for Pool! 1-0!
Sorry, lads.
BLOODY HELL!! AN EARLY SECOND HALF GOAL BY STEVIE G FOR TEN MAN PUTZES!
BLLODY HELL!!
Just a minute after kick off. It was a nice finish, but poor dfending. stevie G with words for rAFFA
I wasn't in the room at the time and Matt yelled out... I THOUGHT HE WAS LYING!
Scholes is on for Nani. Not what UWS wanted, but Nani really was just a passenger
Has one United player had passing grade so far?
Scholes is going to be sent off today
You don't trust your own son, UWS?
Who is Suso?
Why is RVP out wide left crossing the ball in?
YES!!!!!
GREAT GOAL BY RAFA!!!!
ABOUT BLOODY TIME
GOAL! Rafa! 1-1 Game on!
GOAL !!! 1-1 AND IT WAS RAFFA WITH A BRIILLIANT CURLER
Start playing United... COME ON
Great finish for a right back!
A great run by Raffa, Great cross by Valencia, chested down by Kagawa and Raffa did the rest. Half an assist each for Valencia and Kagawa?
Well.. he can't defend!
Naughty from UWS! Be nice to your son. If you come down to Harlingen and have some quesadillas.
I had visions of a pen there. Sterling well on side... crosses and Raffa doesn't lunge in!
Stevie G straight at Lindy
Carrick finds RVP.. shame
Suso is a Spanish midfielder who's been part of Liverpool's youth set up for a few years. They signed him from Cadiz as a kid. He's still only 18.
