kopman - October 25th, 2009 at 5:31 pm

WELCOME TO ANFIELD YOU MANC SCUM!!!!

critics are quiet now every player was amazing benayoun was rampant, carragher was back to his usuall self and torres well we all know about him.
5 mins stoppage time couldnt save united this time coz we botted am all over the pitch.

And for all the people saying rafa will lose his job its been confirmed that he still has a job even if he doesnt win the league.

BACK IN THE RACE Y.N.W.A

torres join man utd

Aquaman - October 25th, 2009 at 5:36 pm

Argh! The anonymous legion! Run for your lives!

Ok deep breaths. In and out. In….. Out…..

Phew.

Now then. Great game from the reds. Battled from the first minute to the last. Everyone on the field pulled their weight. Great game from Lucas and Masch (felt the second yellow was harsh, but Carra should have been off, so fair’s fair I guess). Great goal from Fernando “One chance, one goal” Torres, and then great composure to hold onto the lead. Also a fine ball from Squirtel and Lucas to set it up. N’Gog showed all of the composure that Babel lacks. I was nervous when he was one on one with Van Der Sar, but he couldn’t have been cooler in an igloo.

I wonder how often Vidic wakes up in a cold sweat at night after having Nando Nightmares?

saif - October 25th, 2009 at 5:36 pm

torres goal was offside

saif - October 25th, 2009 at 5:38 pm

SAIF dont be stupid watch the video at the top it was ON side

Aquaman - October 25th, 2009 at 5:43 pm

keep clutching at straws, fake saif. When you wake up tomorrow and look in the paper, do you know what you’ll see? A couple of stories saying that we’re selling Pepe to Man U for 50p or something similar, but in the results column there will sit:

“Liverpool 2 – 0 Manchester United”

And no matter what you say, that will not change.

bungii - October 25th, 2009 at 5:46 pm

what a fukn game..i wonder what all the ppl are gonna say that was saying liverpool is shit and wanted rafa to get out..probbaly a change of tone now fukn 2faced cuntz

Aquaman - October 25th, 2009 at 5:50 pm

Hmm. Seems I was watching a different game. Twasn’t Squirtel who set up Lucas. Twas Kuyt.

Aquaman - October 25th, 2009 at 5:56 pm

saif - October 25th, 2009 at 6:14 pm

what a victory bennayoun played well in the hole behind torres lucas had a fantastic game and man utd were blown away

Aquaman - October 25th, 2009 at 6:25 pm

Hehe. Welcome back saif. If you notice my post above, you will see that I, at least, knew that it wasn’t you. So your reputation is not completely ruined.

We did have some luck on our side at last, though credit to the ref for being consistent, if slightly insane.

saif - October 25th, 2009 at 6:32 pm

thanks aquaman i don’t know if you realised this but last year liverpool won 2-1 with tevez scoring for them and this season with out him it’s 2-0 it’d be wierd if it’s 4-0 at old trafford

dave - October 25th, 2009 at 6:49 pm

this is our season up and running now,every player played well today

Aquaman - October 25th, 2009 at 6:49 pm

he he. A good point. In the last three the score stands at:
LFC 8-2 Man U

I’m liking the trend.

...samlfc.... - October 25th, 2009 at 6:56 pm

Fantastic i love it when we beat them
I rank Beating Man utd just below thecarling cup and doing the double over them equa to the carling cup

We have to build on this victory and go on another unbeaten streak like last season!
I managed to see the last 10 mins of the game and in that 10 mins i thought we played pretty well……I’m guessing Lucas played alright judging by no critism lol

saif - October 25th, 2009 at 7:04 pm

LUCAS HAD THE BEST MATCH OF HIS CAREER

saif - October 25th, 2009 at 7:12 pm

It was the game the whole country was watching. Could Liverpool get back on track? Would Rafa Benitez be facing the sack if his side lost again? Would a beach ball score the winner?

All those questions were answered, but what else did we learn at Anfield ask MirrorFootball’s Richard Aikman and Ian Cruise?

1) Sir Alex Ferguson still loves those mind games of his. Claiming key trio Wayne Rooney, Patrice Evra and Edwin Van der Sar were all doubtful to start the match, imagine our surprise when all three made the starting XI at Anfield. Do you think Rafa was shocked as well?

2) Andy Gray remains the top dog in football punditry. “A team that loses five of their first 10 league matches cannot expect to win the Premier League,” said the canny Scot. That’s why he gets paid the big bucks, y’know.

3) Steven Gerrard looks much better on the pitch than he does off it. Hooded leather jackets are SO last season, dahling…

4) Jamie Carragher visited the HMS Invincible in the build-up to this match. MirrorFootball assumes it was to remind him what a ship that isn’t sinking looks like.

5) There was much wit and wisdom on show prior to kick-off. United fans donned Eric Cantona masks to taunt their rivals, while both sets of supporters delighted in the ironic throwing off beach balls onto the pitch. We’re told that’s what passes for wit and wisdom these days, anyway.

6) Sir Fergie made a surprise early substitution, bringing on a beach ball for Dimitar Berbatov after eight minutes. OK, he didn’t, but he might as well have done.

7) Torres has received many complimentary remarks during his time at Anfield, but this one surely takes the, err, cake. When he netted Liverpool’s first goal, Mirror Sport’s resident Scouser leapt to his feet to exclaim: “Get in there, ya biscuit!” Answers on a postcard please…

The crowd at Anfield are well-known for giving their former heroes a rousing reception on their return. Unless you’re name is Mr M Owen, it would appear.

9) Talking of Owen, he may have lost a yard of pace over the years but he still had two yards too many for Jamie Carragher.

10) Nemanja Vidic must love playing against Liverpool. He might not win that often, but he always gets first crack at the hot water.

Aquaman - October 25th, 2009 at 7:15 pm

Good Post anonymous #965 (REGISTERAAAARARRSARARER!!! pant pant pant).

Watch this spark a run of great results!

saif - October 25th, 2009 at 7:31 pm

Liverpool manager Rafael Benitez: “We showed character and the way the fans got behind the players was like having a 12th man. Everyone worked together and we won. The players answered a lot of questions with that performance. We just take it one game at a time, we can’t be too excited with today.”

Donavan Ried - October 25th, 2009 at 7:33 pm

Great win, could not fualt Rafa’s choice of players, nor his sub,( though i did wonder why Ngog and not bael, till i realized that Babel gives away the ball more and pointless freekicks) …… ownly thing that gets me is why can’t Rafa get it right more often. Maybe he needs to be under pressure more often ……..

This be no means takes anything away from what i have said about Rafa in the past. Still not the Man for Liverpool …. But none the less credit where credit is due…….well done

Ryan Babel - October 25th, 2009 at 7:34 pm

now arsenal. is mascherano out for that or just in prem. with aquilani coming back and if lucas carries on playing like that we are on our way up surely. shows what lucas can do.

Ryan Babel - October 25th, 2009 at 7:48 pm

will mascherano be available for arsenal????????????????

saif - October 25th, 2009 at 7:54 pm

WAIT AND SEE IF MACH IS PLAYING AGAINST ARSENAL BUT ISN’T AQUILni coming back in that match so happy days

saif - October 25th, 2009 at 7:55 pm

AND IT’S IN THE CARLING CUP SO MACH CAN PLAY FOR US (DIFFERANT COMPETITION)

Ryan Babel - October 25th, 2009 at 7:57 pm

yh thats what i wanted to know. yh aquilani may come on but i doubt he will start. maybe start next league match.

Ryan Babel - October 25th, 2009 at 7:57 pm

v fulham.

Donavan Ried - October 25th, 2009 at 8:02 pm

Posted this here because the “Liverpool Vs Manchester United Team News & Prediction Thread”. was acting up and would not allow a post

“Liverpool Vs Manchester United Team News & Prediction Thread”.

Hoogleboogybugleboy

Whatever you say Donavan. Obviously your Opinion is the only one that matters. If we are down 2 1 and Benitez takes off Torres it will be because he is injured, tired or some other reason. It won’t be because Benitez wants to lose the game. You seem to have it in your head that Benitez does things for the detriment of the team.

I know that i can and do, at time explain myself porperly, But i though even you would understand what i was trying to say after explaining it twice. But i guess not ……. i.e. Torres! not saying it would be bTorres but using him as a example……..
There have been times in the past were we need to win a game and needed more attacking options on the field and Rafa has taken some oe like Albert Riera for someone like Babel or Benayoun trading one attacking option for another instead of taking off, lets say Lucas(Example again) for Babel or Benayoun therefor give us greater attacking options……

Seems that you have lost the plot …..

...samlfc.... - October 25th, 2009 at 8:06 pm

Instead of Argueing why don’t we for now keep on celebrating our win over Man utd as this could well be the start of 15 games being unbeaten….can be more or can be less.

I’m glad David N’gog has got a goal against Man utd as that can inspire him int becoming a great goalscorer…hopefully

Donavan Ried - October 25th, 2009 at 8:15 pm

anonymous – October 25th, 2009 at 7:47 pm ………. “Fcuk u donavan reid go back to goodison you bluenose.”……… You have not even got the guts to post a name with your comments …….. LOL and I guest that you have made one of my points for me ……… I will remind you in case it past your single brain cell …… it was ” Most of you will except a mediocre manager just so long as we beat Man utd” …… Now listen to you …… If we lose our next Prem’ game you will run and hide,NO…. You won’t . instead you will still post as “anonymous” Because you have not balls

“In RAFA WE TRUST” ……… You might

Mark G. - October 25th, 2009 at 8:20 pm

It is easy to observe an absence on this forum, of hysterical home grown experts and half wits, that have been trying to run Rafa out of town. I guess it is not easy to type your post while eating crow. Must be a bitter meal, after the idiot Rafa on the strength of great performance of the whole team, (where hopeless Lucas and awful Ngog, and not good enough Aurelio and Kuyt, Insua and Benayoon, played rather prominent roles in the victory over Man U), showed his true class and value, and commitment to the tradition of (never say die) Liverpool Football Club. I haste to remind all the previously mentioned, plus Glen Johnson, Daniel Agger, Skrtel, Mascherano, Pepe Reina and Nando they were all brought to our club by the said Rafa. Lets hope that , in line with the improved health of the team, and advancement of the youngsters we can continue to build a great future for our beloved club.

Red_Phoenix - October 25th, 2009 at 8:22 pm

The game couldn’t come at a better time for us. We now have a reference point in terms of a great performance and great things to come this season. Rafa got it right today, Lucas played well, Ngog scored. It was our day.

From our rivals only chelsea took maximum points this weekend so thats an added bonus. We wait to see them at anfield [and African Cup of Nations].

Aquaman - October 25th, 2009 at 8:30 pm

Sheesh, Donavan, You’re coming in for some unwarranted stick at the moment. My sympathy.

Personally I love discussing football and, since its such a subjective topic, it almost always dissolves into an argument (which I still love). I realize that I’ve been one of those who’ve been rebutting your every point (I meant it in a positive way and I do respect your opinion), though it seems that I may have fueled an inferno. My apologies if this is true.

Mark G. - October 25th, 2009 at 8:32 pm

Donovan, I have a soft spot for you, you welcomed me to this forum, we definitely see Rafa in different light, thats okey, why don’t you join the great party, and stop raining on our parade? Would you have been happier tonight, had we lost? Why the vitriol (you will run and hide you say). We did not when, you were announcing for two weeks the wake party for Rafa. We were still trying to point to you that there is a light at the end of the tunnel. That’s a light of the train coming down, unless you get off the rails of negativity and contempt, you may get run over.

Mark G. - October 25th, 2009 at 8:59 pm

Thanks Pete, I kind of liked the best Nando leaving Ferdinand in his wake and roofing the ball, behind Van der Saar, followed closely by David Ngog, waiting, waiting, waiting and then calmly depositing the ball behind again VdS.

...samlfc.... - October 25th, 2009 at 9:02 pm

Donavan Ried is always welcome on Liverpool forums as he tells us exactly what he thinks about the club because he is a fan and wants to express his opinions and thats what we do, we give out our own opinions (For the anonymous guy who slagged of Donavan Ried opinions mean your own point of view, if you don’t understand how to Sign up and have your named showed then i’m guessing you wouldn’t know what opinions mean)

Like i said before Great win for us and its should be the start of some great results!!

Aquaman - October 25th, 2009 at 9:05 pm

I think the world may just have ended.

Quote from http://www.goal.com:

Sir Alex was gracious in defeat and believed Liverpool outplayed his side and deserved the three points.

“All in all Liverpool were the better team, they created more chances, they were better than us on the day and I’ve no complaints…Liverpool were the better team.

“They deserved their victory,” he concluded.

Donavan Ried - October 25th, 2009 at 10:02 pm

Aquaman – October 25th, 2009 at 8:30 pm …… Thank you Aquaman. I don’t mind the “unwarranted stick” after all everyone is entitled to their option. What i do not like (Just like you) is people have that option posted “anonymous” …… At least have the guts to stand behind what it is you have to say ……..
Mark G. – October 25th, 2009 at 8:32 pm ………. “Would you have been happier tonight, had we lost? Why the vitriol” …….. Someone once said here that if Liverpool had to play Arsenal, Chelsea and Man Utd every week we would be Premier league champions ….. But if we had to play Sheffield utd, Wigan and Hull we would be demoted ……. I love it when we play and win. I love it when we play ……. when we don’t when we just roll over …… i get mad

Aquaman - October 25th, 2009 at 10:28 pm

hahaha. That’s the worst of the anonymous half fans yet. A few things you should note Anon @ 9:40.
1) Its “Merseyside”
2) You’re a Kopite, ie a resident of the kop. You aren’t a kop.
3) We lost 4 back to back games.

On the plus side at least you spelled Anfield right.

I wonder how long it’ll be before you’re posting on a chelsea game saying exactly the same thing except bluer and more chav-like (ie lots of swearing, incoherent, psycho babble).

Donavan: My pleasure. That quote is painfully accurate when judging our last few seasons. But I think it’s come right this time. No draws so far (woohoo!) and we’ve comfortably dispatched all of the lesser teams we’ve come against (I don’t include Sunderland in that since they’re doing really well). Its just that when we wobbled (which is inevitable for all teams), we also had some bad luck.

The wobble I’d say would be Fiorentina. They outplayed us fair and square and we never looked in the game at all. Then we went to Chelsea determined to put things right and played really well. But one careless mistake put the game beyond us, and we were hit again as we pushed to try and bring it back. Then we had our beloved international break and the bad luck began. Injuries a plenty with morale already low.

So we headed off to Sunderland. We played poorly because of this (and other things) but it really does smart when the only goal you concede is so blatantly illegal you can’t find words foul enough to spew at the ref.

Then came Lyon. All we needed was to play like the LFC of two years ago (score one and don’t concede), just to get the confidence back before united. But, yeah, we know how that ended.

These four losses were so intricately linked to one another that script writers are jealous (to my mind at least). If we had held on for a draw at Chelsea, I reckon we would have had the confidence to beat Sunderland even without G&T. I say this now because we’ve broken the chain. Torres is fit again with Stevie close behind. Aquilani is coming and we beat United. Now is the time for optimism because I for one see only sunlight ahead of us.

Hoogleboogybugleboy - October 25th, 2009 at 10:29 pm

Aquaman - October 25th, 2009 at 10:38 pm

hehe, welcome Hoogleboogybugleboy. I was wondering when you’d show up.

Lucas for Man of the Match? (nudge nudge)

dave - October 25th, 2009 at 10:42 pm

donovan ried is a twat and not a true liverpool fan,benitez is by no means a mediocre manager,if we sacked him he would walk into a job at real madrid and that would not be good for football because they would win everything.

dave - October 25th, 2009 at 10:45 pm

i believe we will go on from this and win the league,man united are not good enough,they have only had one good game against spurs this season and chelsea will struggle in january when drogba,essien,obi mikel and kalou go to the african nations cup.

RaNE - October 25th, 2009 at 11:21 pm

True the title doesnt end in october BUT it doesnt mean we cant still go on and win the title. Teams that start off well tend to die of sooner or later, what i mean is take arsenal 2 years ago for example started well died off and liverpool last started great but failed to win matchs later on. Hopefully manu and chelsea do likeways this season but its a 6 horse race at the minute and maybe christmas we can judge wholl be in the top 4

Mark G. - October 26th, 2009 at 12:02 am

Yes’ this is another time when we cheated you Like last year we cheated you twice 2:1 and the Old Trafford 4:1. As some say, excuses are for losers, Mr. Anonymous at 11:51. But not all is lost, You won the 1st prize for the funniest post of the day!

saif - October 26th, 2009 at 12:09 am

saif said liverpool are shit

RaNE - October 26th, 2009 at 12:14 am

i dont see why MANU fans are getting at carra, if you looked at vidic he should of been sent off long before 90 minutes because he seemed to think he was playin rugby and diving at people

Aquaman - October 26th, 2009 at 12:37 am

Greetings again, saif’s brother.

Everyone who’s moaning about Carra only getting a yellow. Yes, you are right. It should have been a red. But at the same time count yourselves lucky because Vidic’s should have been a straight red as well. Even though the ref was lenient (to an extreme degree sometimes) he was consistent.

Now I sit back and wait for the torrent of anonymous fools to call me biased.

Aquaman - October 26th, 2009 at 12:40 am

btw, Mark G: I think that the anon @ 9:40 wins for funniest post of the day. Classic example of a half-fan trying to act like one of the old boys.

however he definitely gets 2nd

Hoogleboogybugleboy - October 26th, 2009 at 10:52 am

I don’t know about Lucas for man of the match? He did miss a sitter but he did have a good game. He seems to play better when Gerrard doesn’t play for some reason. Liverpool played very well yesterday, I even got the team selection right which is a first.

Donavan Ried - October 26th, 2009 at 11:54 am

LEON anonymous – October 26th, 2009 at 11:05 am ……… Welcome to the site……. Those who know me hear will ( If being honest) tell you that i hate no great love for Rafa as a manager or his often questionable tactics. I have made this clean on many an occassion……

I have also said that some here consider you to be not a true Supporter if you question the manager……

Some here even question others being a true supporter if they have not been to Anfield …………….(the last two being rubbish of course)

You can call me what you want to, but the one thing that i am not is a hypocrite ………..
I think the same of Rafa now as I did last week, last month,last year. and stick by my every word ………

hypocrites are the people who moan about Rafa picking this player and that player and then end their post with the words”In Rafa We Trust”

Retryboy - October 26th, 2009 at 1:27 pm

Awesome performance the scum never looked like they would create anything no matter how much injury time they were given benayoun given the central role finally gave us the creativity we needed, aurelio was awesome his passing added a different dimension was just a perfect performance by everyone including lucas and rafa. To all those slating donovan if rafa had performed like that week in week out there wouldn’t have been any questions from anyone. He changed so many little things the full backs not expected to provide the width and be wing backs, benayoun playing behind torres have said loads of times he can be the new peter beardsley. The balance was spot on with defence and attack where as before we were far too defensive. I will bet all the idiots that have written off carragher and blamed him for our poor run have back tracked now

khan - October 26th, 2009 at 1:59 pm

Good game Liverpool tends to up the tempo now and again.I do hear what Donovan Reid says in a sense.However i dont think Rafa is to blame.I think we should also thank the fans for motivating the lads the atmosphere was electric.If you compare the fans to last week when we lost to Loyn way different.Thanks to the Kop as well you know i had goose bumps when you never walk alone was sung and i knew this was going to be a good day.
Thanks to the lads for playing so well and lets not forget the DON HIMSELF Rafa.

Donavan Ried - October 26th, 2009 at 3:49 pm

isaac hunt - October 26th, 2009 at 4:10 pm

shall we still replace rafa with allarydyce RETARDBOY. that shows that you have no knowledge about football. last week he was the worst manager on the planet now hes the best. we lose together and win together. something that you should learn mate. Rafa will bring us the title one day you just need some patience.
