I popped in as my name was mentioned, I was quite happy leaving you be, on arrival the player comparison war was in flow and I am more than happy to provide my comments also. What is abundantly clear is that Liverpool fans now feel they are ahead of United and last years league positions would seem to back that up if you want to look at extremely short term (scousers now ignoring history hmmm, why ?) What is also abundantly clear is that Liverpool are currently playing the better football but from a set of fans who experienced Daglish II and Hodgson's reigns of terror you know a good part of the reason why.
Let's go beyond one season and look at the bigger picture, United on and off the field have been steadily moving away from Liverpool for the past 20 odd years to a point where the sizes of the two clubs are no longer even comparable. United as a company is a corporate monster, one of, if not the, largest in Europe, it is not (to use a quote from this very thread) "playing catch up" Liverpool are still behind United in the grand scheme of things and still quite a long way at that, Moyeseffect might have shaved a couple of years off in your favour but a considerable gap still remains. Just to back up the point here, you have Champions league football and the best player you could attract was Balotelli, United on the other hand without CL managed to attract $ two of the worlds best players and one of which Liverpool themselves went in for (despite desperate cries to the contrary).
Going back to the squad war, those United players from last season are broken, a few of them deadwood for sure but there are still some top players in the squad and once the ship is steady you will start to see some of the old qualities or LvG will pack them their bags, of those that faced MK Dons the survival rate is very low.
So in summary yes Liverpool are playing good football, better football than United certainly but as last season showed it means nothing without trophies, as it stands you have won nothing since the resurgence, and until you have, and are maintaining it you're still playing catch up. Arsenal have been winning the "playing top football la" trophy for the best part of a decade now and if you want an insight into how most United fans view Liverpool at the minute then just look at your own views on Arsenal as serial chokers.
You do seem to obsess on kraftwerker though mate, noticing his absence and mentioning him here and there, even dreaming he has a clone, perhaps drop him a pm, you never know your luck.
