Stretford, what exactly has happened to Young? Is he injured? By the way, I disagree that we are papering over the cracks. We are still work-in-progress. JimmyTheRed
----------------------------------
No idea about Young.
Started season like house on fire. Got a niggling injury came back too soon got injured AGAIN and we aint seen him since.
You certainly are a work in progress. Despite you beating us today I was far from impressed with your team. Seemed unable to retain possession. A stronger Utd 11 would have punished you for sure and I'm confident will do in 2 weeks time.
Stretford, I agree. first time I saw him this season he did look on fire. I thought that he was way in front of Downing, but not any more. I can only presume he is injured. You are quite right to be unimpressed with our team; so are many Reds, and you are right, possession is a problem, a big problem for us, we just kept on giving the ball away. Lets wait and see what happens in two weeks. I have to say, the booing of Evra was pathetic, it definitely took the edge off of the win. JimmyTheRed

I think its midfield where you are lacking most. Not often we play a game against a big team these days and I prefer our midfield to the opponents.
It has been our Achilles heel for a while now but today our boys bossed it. Scholesy was in total control. Taking him off was a poor decision from Fergie and it cost us I reckon.
Liverpool have a good keeper and some decent defenders. Kelly looks a real gem I must say.
And even though he is an odious little runt like Tevez, Suarez aint too shabby either. Other than that, Not too sure there is a lot else to be honest.
Gerrard looked really out of sorts today. Clearly not fit still. Great player though.
Liverpool still need to do a hell of a lot to become PL champions.
Agreed Stretford, agreed. I was hoping that wee Jay would be fit, but it was not to be. StevieG seemed at times to let the game pass him by, Kenny was right in my view to take him off, keep him for Wednesday. JimmyTheRed
Have to join in here..
Streford..

What your are forgetting is that Liverpool have just played 2 really tough games in the space of 4 days, and we had only 2 days to recover.
This impacted on the tactics and personel available. Dont Judge us on this one game, we have Lucas out, Spearing injured and suarez on a ban while Gerrard has been out for near on a yr. Add in a complete overhaul coaching and players and we will get better the more we play...dont judge us too early
We are in one cup final, through to the round of another and pushing for top 4, all this when 12months ago we were pushing for mid table and out of everything by Jan!!
18 months ago, we are staring bancruptcy in the face. Thats how low we had sunk. That goes some way to explain the euphoria that exists, some might say our expectancy has gone through the roof. Lets keep our feet on th ground. JimmyTheRed
