Liverpool lost to Man United 0-1 on grand slam sunday. The goal was courtesy Tevez who took advantage of shoddy defending from a corner by Liverpool to give the Red Devils the all important win over the Reds. This loss for Liverpool coupled by the win by Arsenal over Chelsea means that Liverpool are 10 points behind the leaders in the table.
Does this mean the end of Liverpool's challenge this year?
Cheers!

totally tragic. but i guess they deserved to lose because Man U played better.
but i would say that Man U played quite dirty and I'm sure I saw Ronaldo dive. Something about that boy's face makes me want to slap him. heh.
i think it's the end of Liverpool's challenge for the EPL title. but not the champion's league. they did well against Marsaille.
If Man U did not score just before half time, Liverpool might have been less demoralised.

if he dives at the slightest can't be a great player... imho. :)

They are almost out because slipping of Arsenal and ManU
in this league simaltaneously is almost impossible. Now hope that they will do well in UEFA Cup, these defeats in EPL have given them enough lesson, i think them they will finish well in UEFA league.

they had never learnt their lesson. This isn't the first time they lost their place in the EPL because of their incompetencies. Look at the previous seasons. Rafa better stop with his rotation and get his team gelled to beat the big teams.
I sure hope they win the Champions League again to make it up. And no, they are not in UEFA Cup. If they lose in the knockout phase, they will be totally out, not even in the UEFA.

but it has been the same every single year, even during Houlier's time. Don't you think so?

Well, it's going to be a mounting task for liverpool. All other clubs are banking on points and while liverpool does not seem to hold on to them. Even manchester city is going great in the fourth place. Well, I think it maybe difficult for them even to get top four this season, that is what I think.
