Riise is obviously homophobic.
You're wrong, dead wrong. It will be a hard game but we will win hands down. You think that they'll be fired up for the game, wait 'til you see us!
Didn't realise seeing the obvious was unhinged 😉
Dont know why people are over confident regarding this game.
Utd will be fired up for it, we usually struggle at OT and they cross the ball into the box at every chance they get, which we suck at defending against.
It will be a very tight game imho. If we score first I'm pretty confident we'll get a result. But it will be a tough game no doubt.

We want a Spurs Arsenal draw. The best thing us is for them two to get caught in there standard fourth place battle and hope we can slip away from it. First things first though, we've got to try and win a very difficult game at Old Trafford. I don't care what season Manchester United are having, it's still going to be a very tough game, they'll be completely up for it. God we need to win, but I can't say I'm confident.
if we lose this one, our title dreams are finished...to be on the track we need at least a draw-United have won eight of the last nine PL home games against Liverpool (W8 L1).
-DS15 has scored in his last 2 league games for Liverpool against United.
-RVP has scored 6 goals in his last 7 PL starts against Liverpool.
-Liverpool have scored 47 first half goals in the PL this season, one more than MUFC have in total.
-Only Everton v Liverpool (20) has seen more red cards than the North West Derby (14).
-Only one team (Arsenal) have kept a clean sheet against Liverpool in their last 16 PL away trips.
-Liverpool have been awarded more penalties than any other PL side this season (7). 🤓
-MUFC have not conceded a penalty at Old Trafford in PL since December 31, 2011 (v Blackburn Rovers).
-Six of the last 10 goals in this fixture have been scored in the 15 minute minute period just after half time. (So from 45-60)
-This game features the three players to have been involved in the most PL goals (scoring + assisting) this season: Luis Suarez 34, Daniel Sturridge 23 and Wayne Rooney 21.
Simple game, start Coutinho...they are playing home, they will be underpressure to score a goal and will try hard. We usually do much better defensively when we defend as a unit and attack like a pack of wolves and simply counter...Utd will be all over place, one of the defenders/MF will get a early yellow card because of the foul on Sterling or Cou, game done and dusted right there

I like your enthusiasm, but I can't see the game being decided by a yellow card.
Last time we played them at OT we had this team:
Reina
Wisdom
Skrtel
Agger
Johnson
Lucas
Allen
Gerrard
Sterling
Suarez
Downing
We're much improved

The crosses thing bothers me most.
It's almost like Utd have been practicing how to play against us all season.
Their strength is our weakness.
Thankfully they're also defending poorly, esp against quick counter attacking sides, so we should be able to score too.
This could be a proper thriller. If we win it'll be boss to watch back, but during the game I may be suffering a coronary.

dont you know, our tactics are always that target the man with yellow card or someone who is having an OFF day or a weak player of the opposite team 😉
Managed to find a way to watch this. With 2 hours sleep and a comedown before I have to get a train to Aberdeen
We better fucking win
We better fucking win
I watched match of the day last night, and a few times Anichebe was getting into last match one on one races with Smalling 35 yards up the pitch, I kept thinking, if that was Sturridge...
I'm actually not too worried about the crosses, I think Agger and Skrtel will deal with them fine. What I am worried about is that this will no doubt be the time that Rooney decides he's up for it and has a blinder, Gerrard on Rooney will be a huge match up. Hopefully Mata will be out wide and have a quiet game.
We need our defenders to be more no-nonsense than usual and keep the ball away from the wings deep in our half, we need Gerrard to be much more disciplined in his new role and not get drawn into between the CBs, and we need Coutinho to go out twenty minutes early for a warm up so he's ready to get involved from the off. And we need to clatter them!
I'd be very surprised if not only Rooney but most or all of his teammates *don't* decide they're up for the Liverpool game. To me it's a given that they will, something we need to factor into all our match planning. Whatever doubts their players have about Moyes will be set aside for this one.
That said, we'll be up for it too AND we're better than they are. It's in our own hands ultimately.
If Gerrard is fired up and has one of them games he might well break van Persie in half
I miss that genius.
In the league. The last trip to Old Trafford was in the 3rd round of the League Cup this season with this:
starters: Mignolet, Touré, Sakho, Skrtel, Enrique, Gerrard, Moses, Henderson, Lucas, Suárez, Sturridge
subs: Jones, Kelly, Wisdom, Alberto, Sterling, Ibe, Aspas
old image but new fun 😀
Rooney leading his crew and Moyes is at the back
yeah my point is how much better we are compared to the last league game there. Cup games are never the same thing
