Impressive. With the squad they're assembling I can really see them just missing out on a UEFA cup spot next season.

Defoe's rubbish

I rate Barry and think he would do well for us but if it's a question of Xabi or Barry + £5m spending money (and it increasingly seems it is), I'd keep Xabi.

good thread...clearly 59 pages lambasting a player for scoring an own goal isn't enough. pathetic

Yes! And get Ferguson in as Director of football..

That's about the size of it. Good post.

He was the weakest of the midfield, forwards imo. That's not a huge criticism given the team we had that year, but wouldn't say he was superb

Nonsense, Xabi's looking on form tonight

he's been learning from the master

Often wondered about this. One of my lasting footballing memories is the 'merseyside' cup final of '86, haven't seen an explanantion for what changed between Liverpool, Everton fans. Was it the european ban post-Heysel? Liverpool as a city just turning nasty in the Sky generation the same way other derbies were? or was it never as fraternal as made out?

Torres has been lucky, Gerrard's overrated and we're going out next round* *mocker prevention measures

Steve Claridge....useless, know nothing, g*bs****, sponging off my license fee...the man makes Andy Gray sound like a master of impartial considered punditry...every Friday night on my drive up the M40 I listen to that twot struggling to put a coherent sentence together in his whining falsetto. the man's a tool of the highest order.... thanks...that feels better.

huh? Given it away a couple of times (who hasn't...) but been ok pushing on

Good half time score. Defending well. Almost caught them out on a few occasions. We'll have chances on the break 2nd half.

Nope, t'other whuppin' boy

Good play from Kuyt to set it up. C'mon reds!

why are ITV showing the bloody manc match?! Milan-Arsenal is where it's at tonight...

Abuse Kuyt haa been getting is ridiculous, even during today's match: he's awful, he's sh*t etc. Fec*ing out of order. Received crap opinion that has become indisputable fact in the eyes of many, helped by the 'when you're not good you're awful' mentality. If ever a player gave the lie to the notion that as long as a player gives 100% they'll get full support from the fans, it's Dirk this year.

ohhhh Sami...

form and content in perfect unity...

have played well, would hope to have created a couple of chances esp with man advantage, optimistic for 2nd half though...

yep crossing v poor, sadly something the mancs do well - good crossing, men in the box

ch*st any opportunity to have a dig...cos that was such an easy chance

agreed, would like to see him come on 2nd half if we're still struggling to break them down...
