Liverpool vs Man Utd

By (user no longer on site) OP over a year ago

Eagerly anticipated, Liverpool undefeated since losing to United before Xmas, now with an innovative formation and a young team absent Gerrard which has gone on a great run. United have probably not looked as good in months as they did last weekend, when without DiMaria they looked back to something like their best.

So will the managers stick with winning teams, or will they bring back the big names for the game?

And what is your prediction for the score?

Should be a great game.

While not a possibility, and I'm sure neither manager would admit it, but I suspect they would both take a draw now if was offered.

Liverpool are in good form and being the home side makes them favourites but I think it maybe a score draw between them

Is that the attendance!.

As a utd fan I will go with 1-2

My head says 2-1

I hope they don't start with Gerrard as I have a funny feeling he'll play a blinder against us, even if he's well past his best.

For us it all depends on Carrick and Rooney, if they play well, we'll win!

I hate the scousers (kopites)....with a passion...yes I am a london based fan but I stand on the Stretford end week in week out.

I'm sure it is going to be close. It may well come down to which of the keepers has a better day, and De Gea has probably been Uniteds player of the year so far.

Wins for City and Arsenal above and Southampton and Spurs below probably put more pressure on both sides now.

True. I'm a Scouser and have a few Manc mates, mainly through music. We just have a laugh about the footy. No need to get offensive.

Well both teams are 8/11 for both teams to score and Liverpool slight favorites to win (home advantage) years ago I would have bet as part of a accumulator but this year I really can't be bothered. I'm substituting this match and going for Youngboys vs Zurich btts, as I'm predicting a long ball boring style of football kind of game. Feel free to cuss tomorrow if I'm wrong.

Nice to see fellow liverpool supporters from around the country Thankyou!

When we have a merseyside Derby it's just friendly banter between the teams, compared to when we play Man U.

Think it's gonna be a tough one. Hoping liverpool don't score early and then lie back like they usually do. I predict it's gonna be a dirty game as usual, both teams will fight til the whistle blows.

Hope Rodgers puts out a decent team inc Gerard, his last game against Man U. Need to get rid of Johnson waste of space. Mignolet is great during normal game goals but when the spot light is on him for pens, he just crumples!

My prediction? 3-2 to Liverpool. Gerrard, sturridge and Allen to score. Allen is a bit hit and miss. Doesn't necesserily stand out as being a good or bad player. We've had the odd glimmer of hope where he's tried to find the back of the net, think he might surprise us today.

its the same up here between Sunderland and newcastle, but whatever takes place is on the day, when it comes to our derbys newcastle have there many indiscretions, but that gets left there, its all part of derby day, away from the day theres banter but words like "hate" and "vile" do not belong in football.

Again selective hearing, you can even hear it on the TV being sung and probably will today.

Liverpool fans are probably singing about Munich as Man Utd fans are singing about Hillsborough.

Don't make us out to be any worse than any other fans. The hatred is there because we are the 2 most successful clubs in Britain and for what seems like decades, there's not much difference between the sides, except you are only 4th without Europe and we were 2nd last season so therefore we must be better

been called a scouse cunt many times by mates who support other teams, usually reply in a similar vein and take it as banter, never thought that they were all vile or hate them..

suppose its down to the individual..

chanting about Munich is equally as disgusting as chanting about Hillsborough and anyone who takes part is a disgrace..

So many passionate comments and every single one from people in Manchester/Liverpool and surrounding areas it's heartening to see local support

doesn't really matter to me though I support Beijing Red Star ok I don't know any players, I've never been to China and I've no connection to China but I once saw a couple of guys wearing the top so jumped on the bandwagon

So the managers have made their big calls and Gerrard and DiMaria both on the bench. I would expect both to figure at some point and how the managers use their subs may well be critical.

Just thinking though that United should also be down to 10 men. Jones should have been booked for his terrible challenge on Lallana in the first half and was lucky not to get a straight red for the challenge on Henderson. Either way he should be off.

Going to take something very special from Liverpool to kee the score respectable. They will have to try and get something out of the game bu in doing so United are going to have a field day on the counter attack.

In Gerrard's defence, the team in the first half was over run, and there was a need for some aggression, as Carragher said just now, he plays with his heart and on this occassion he got carried away. Very big of him to give an interview and apologise, maybe Moreno, Allen and a few others who had poor games might learn from him.

While it will be sad to see him leave Liverpool and the Premier League, it is the right time for him to go, with legacy still in tact.

As I said earlier I have a good few mates from Manchester, being a Scouser there's plenty of banter. We refrain from calling each other vile and stooping to mention disasters. Don't know who you think you are!

Pity about Gerrard letting passion overflow still a rated player by my fellow Scousers.

Well played to all the decent Man Utd fans.

Credit to van Gaal and United, first half in particular they were very impressive. They should have gone for the kill at 2-0 but seemed content with the result, you have to think had Ferguson been in charge they would have gone for 3,4,5-0. But credit also to the Liverpool side who looked dead and buried but showed a lot of character to stay in the game.

They are long passes, just ask van Gaal to show you the stats!!

Interestingly have Fellani pushed up against the Liverpool back 3 for the long ball left huge amounts of space in the midfield which they exploited well. Tactically I though van Gaal had a blinder.

Jones should have gone for sure and I'm a Man Utd fan but Gerard's challenge was a disgrace a welcome departure for a player who gets away with this sort of thing all too often. I just hope the Mls know what they are letting themselves in for, Matas second goal was a delightful strike and the game as a whole was very entertaining and as usually a very fiery one too which is good as there isn't enough passion shown in the game these days

You Liverpool fans got too cocky as usual, thinking you had the game won before it had even kicked off. Your team were played off the park and they lost their discipline."

Losing Skrtel for 3 games might concern Rodgers more than losing the game. I'm sure he will contest the charge saying that he couldn't change direction, but it looked pretty clear. Rodgers will also be worried about injuries to Sturridge (again) and Lallana at a key juncture in the season. Still think the battle for the top 4 has a few more twists and turns yet!
