[FC Ronaldo]

Superb result. Mata and Herrera were absolutely brilliant. Rooney wasn't. But who cares. Great day.

 

[Traub]

I'm a lazy cnut, but I wish someone would make a thread about our results in the big games. LVG really knows what he's doing.

 

[Red-Man-Walking]

Double over Liverpool, Stevie Me letting his composure slip in his last game against us, going 5 points clear in 4th and within touching distance of 2nd.

Today was a good day.

 

[Raven Blade]

We're in danger of becoming a big game team again. Our players were up for it from the start. They pressed well, they handled the occasion and imposed themselves. Mata was terrific along with several others. Rooney wasn't great though. Still we made it hard for ourselves at the end like we usually do.

 

[Charlie Foley]

Suck on that one @Barney and I hope your dog shits on your carpet.

 

[suheilsworld]

What a game! Mata was absolutely on fire! Last week I said that he might be the only one from that starting eleven whose place would be in trouble and how wrong have I been proved.

We should have closed this game by the hour mark but missed the chance. Also, was a chance to get that GD up but credit where credit due and I am not going to be nit-picky today. Great win, great play, great performance by the lads and huge confidence booster. Cmon!!!

 

[kiddaa]

They hate us because they ain't us. Take that all you haters. Thank you Stevie G... you never seem to disappoint.

 

[Galactic]

A win at Anfield (deserved one). Two great goals. Stevie Cheat red card showing his true 'gentleman' side. What more can you ask for?

 

[ThaReaper01]

He was OK, not "horrendous."

Was invisible in the second half when he should've dictated the game then gave the ball away for the goal. Couldn't handle the pressing. Never can. He was awful. Luckily for him, Rooney played so he wasn't the worst player out there.

 

[thegregster]

Smalling and Jones great.

Herrera is some upgrade from the likes of Cleverley.

Mata shows us all that speed isnt everything and can play very well on the wing.

 

[Wicked_Badger]

Carragher is absolutely gutted!

 

[LARulz]

Should have let Mata take the penalty. I'll take the result gladly. Disappointing after we went 2-0 up in my opinion.

 

[ivaldo]

Amazing to get the 3 points and a win at Anfield but the best part of this was that first half performance, we made them look like amateurs.

[Vooon]

YES!

 

[charleysurf]

Oh yeah, and Carrick was fecking horrendous.

get a fecking grip. He owned up to his mistake in the Liverpool goal, but we don't dominate Liverpool in passing like we did today with Carrick being "shit".

 

[Galactic]

Stevie Cheat had the cheek to ask the ref to red card Herrera after the stamp. Him going hard on Mata was OK but nobody can come into a tackle with him just as hard??

 

[Hed Zitin]

Yes! 4-3-3 is the way forward.

Herrera and Fellaini were immense today.

Stevie me getting sent off was the cherry on top and that skin head cnut is going to get three games too.

 

[charleysurf]

great in the first half, eased off way too much in the 2nd. Mata, Herrera, Fellaini all excellent. ADM still a worry, but he certainly never hides. I just hope he can get his act together.

 

[ThaReaper01]

get a fecking grip. He owned up to his mistake in the Liverpool goal, but we don't dominate Liverpool in passing like we did today with Carrick being "shit".

So owning up to his mistake makes it ok? You get a fecking grip. United aren't under the kosh for the entire second half against ten men without Carrick being shit. If he was anything more than that United are only under half as much pressure.

 

[Galactic]

Still a long way to go to secure top 4 with this win. But I'm happy that we are closer to second than fifth.

 

[MDFC Manager]

Schmeichel laying into Squirtle. Rightly so

 

[matt23]

Brilliant. Special mention to one of the players I've always criticized, Fellaini was fantastic today, one of those games where I'm not sure it would have been the same game without him.

So proud

 

[stretford_oslo]

What a feeling what a night

 

[DevilRed]

Unbelievable performance. Should have scored more goals really! Had Rooney bothered to turn up today it would have been more than 2 goals.

Other than Rooney, everyone played well. Special mentions of course to Mata and Herrera. Bossed the game and dominated them for most of the 90 minutes.

Thought ADM was a bit hit and miss. Gave away the ball a lot but also created one goal and made a great pass to Blind which won us the penalty. Unlucky not to have delivered a better cross on the breakaway with Rooney wide open. Hopefully he continues to get better.

Fellaini was immense too. Everytime we needed an outlet for the long ball he basically brought it down with ease. Jones and Smalling for the most part were solid. If they can stay fit you can tell they will form a special partnership.

Daley Blind silently just going about his job and making that left flank impenetrable. Its a real dilemma for LVG whether to play Shaw or Blind in that spot now.

Carrick was superb too other than giving away the ball for their goal. A real important 3 points for us and as dominant a performance as I've seen at binfield. I hope squirtle gets a ban for that stamp.

 

[Offside]

If we can get a result against Arsenal at home then 2nd place is on. Positive.

 

[Will Singh]

Words can't discribe the feelings I'm going through, Slippy G made my day better with his scouse tactics and Mata..... feckING CLASS

 

[Danny Boi]

Thank God for Mata and Gerrard.Skrtel's a right cnut at the end too.

 

[Moriarty]

Suck on that one @Barney and I hope your dog shits on your carpet.

He ought to get banned.

 

[Mrs Smoker]

Oh, feck off, Scotty.


Great game. Keep it up, lads.

 

[Shyftyy]

I know it was a really close game but the passing differences are amazing

Man Utd
Passes - All
460 out 562 successful

L'pool
Passes - All
302 out 402 successful

Besides the win , the soccer progression over the last 2 games have been fantastic as well.

 

[sullydnl]

Sweet.

We were the better team and both the Gerrard and Skrtel stamps were definite red cards. Maybe Jones was a bit lucky but beyond that I'm not sure what Liverpool can complain about. Only positive for them was Sakho, who I thought was quite good.

Hope Arsenal beat them next and seal top four for us. Happy times.

Also, I love Juan Mata. Like, properly love.

 

[Mojo_]

Smalling had a massive game today, really looked good in defence, Jones was ok, did a good shift. Mata of course was sensational, Herrera was brilliant. Fellaini, Blind both shone too. Oh and Mata should've had the penalty. 3-1 would've been a fair result, Liverpool were lucky they kept the score down

 

[Woodzy]

Outstanding first half. Nervy second half with plenty of drama but a great day and can't fault the teams efforts.

That Arsenal result certainly seems to have flipped a switch and we starting to see some stand out performances.

I'm very nervous about Di Maria though. Great assist for Mata's second but he was very poor again.

 

[JTW95]

Absolutely ecstatic. I haven't felt like this since the Fergie days.

And the Steven Gerrard fairytale continues

 

[Man Utd Mrs]

Why didn't Mata take the pen ?

 

[MDFC Manager]

Schmeichel: 2nd place is on

I agree

 

[Get In Scholesy]

It was great performance from us in 3/4 of the game. You can never expect to dominate your fiercest rival for a full out 90 minutes - especially us at Anfield. The scoreline made it seem closer than it was but all is forgiven - I'm going to savour every minute of this.

Oh and Mata and Hererra are brilliant together.

 

[Lawman]

Smalling and Jones great.

Herrera is some upgrade from the likes of Cleverley.

Mata shows us all that speed isnt everything and can play very well on the wing.

Jones is a cuddy bring in Rojo asap. Rooney was poor Carrick was ok and Herrera was superb along with Mata.

 

[Wumminator]

Guys why has it come together for us these last few games?

Is it as simple as no RVP and Falcao?
