Looking forward to Sunday I reckon Ole will have us really up for this game, Won't be easy but I think we will win.

Ole says Lingard and Martial could be in contention. With Mata having had a decent game it's interesting to see who plays. Pretty much rules Alexis out I would have thought. 

Didn't realise Mata was still with you. Bet they kept him only so they can get decent discount at his restaurant.

Not expecting any agreement but IMO the two British / Irish players who you could build a team capable of winning a major tournament in the last 25 years were Roy Keane and Paul Scholes.

 

One was disrespected because he spoke out too much, one was disrespected because he spoke out too little. 

They were good players, in a great team.

They all want to beat Liverpool this week

[ChipButty]

This tie of the English football calendar is one that has been steeped in tradition, mired in mayhem and decorated with some defining moments. It is more than the ‘North-west Derby’; more than a grudge match. It is an assault on the singular heritage of being called the most successful club in English league football.

Surprisingly both clubs have their own City rivals and derby clashes but they share an unrivaled fire to disquiet and rile up each other. Both have storied past, fanatic and militant support and 35 miles of geography separating them.

Even before the knocking off perches, Rafa’s factsheet and Suarez’s vampire impressions, this fixture has always been the theatre of English football’s greatest plots.

Pep will be helicopted in to ManU players give his ten-penneth

[ChipButty]

From open office doors to new club suits and team meals out, Solskjaer has made sweeping changes behind the scenes... now Manchester United are feeling the Ole Effect

 

As one United insider told Sportsmail: ‘It feels like someone has drawn back the curtains and let the sunshine in.’

I predict a 1-1 draw here. 

 

Would be good for the other team in the top 4.

Has Howard Webb dropped in yet? Maybe he can referee...

[RickG16]

3-2 United... Rashford to get a couple.

 

With Rash, Martial, Jesse, Mane and Salah on the pitch there could be some serious pace on display

Liverpool wearing grey kit tomorrow, I think Vidic remembers when he played Liverpool in grey at OT, I wonder if he passed on that knowledge to the lads.

In his first half a season, Vidic looked worryingly off the pace, and actually too bulky / overweight. I remember him getting skinned by Craig Bellamy vs Liverpool.

 

But over the summer has was transformed into a machine, noticeably slimmer and quicker, but with just as much bite. He must have spent the whole summer running and running. Truly amazing defenders. One of the best players to pull on the United shirt. I wore my 'Vidic 5' Serbia national team top with more pride than I ever would an England jersey!

I was referring to the 1-4 demolition at OT where Fernando Torres turned Vidic inside out.

Everyone has an off day. Doesn't change his medal collection or what a great player he was. Him, Rio, VDS, and Evra....I believe it was that defence that broke the all time European Cup record for consecutive clean sheets away from home.

 

Unbelievable defence.

I wouldn't mind being there today I bet the atmosphere will be electric 

[ChipButty]

The Liverpool FC manager flies to Kabul to watch a young Afghani play football, is suitably impressed and arranges for him to come over. Two weeks later Liverpool are 4-0 down to Chelsea with only 20 minutes left, the manager gives the young Afghani striker the nod and on he goes. The lad is a sensation, scores 5 goals in 20 minutes and wins the game for Liverpool. The fans are delighted, the players and coaches are delighted and the media love the new star. When the player comes off the pitch he phones his mum to tell her about his first day in English football. ‘Hello mum, guess what?’ he says ‘I played for 20 minutes today, we were 4-0 down but I scored 5 and we won. Everybody loves me, the fans, the media, they all love me.’ ‘Wonderful,’ says his mum, ‘Let me tell you about my day. Your father got shot in the street and robbed, your sister and I were ambushed, gang raped and beaten and your brother has joined a gang of looters, and all while you were having such great time.’ The young lad is very upset. ‘What can I say mum, but I’m really sorry.’ ‘Sorry?!!! Sorry?!!!’ says his mum, ‘It’s your bloody fault we came to Liverpool in the first place!

You wouldn't get an argument from me on that prediction jelly. Just hope they take a few Liverpool players out as well ????

[smedly]

the only goal scored was denied by about 4" offside or a run that started 0.5sec early, smalling was offside but only by a whisker 

 

Good result regardless

Least we took 2 points off lpool with a badly injured squad so well played to the lads. Lets hope injuries aint to bad n we get rashford martial lingard bk firing again soon. Matic n herrera make pogba play better n more freedom so need them bk soon as well. Def need 2, 3 class players next season as we look dodgy when get few injuries

Smalling should have got on the end of that ball right at the death.
