man utd(1) vs liverpool(4). treat, tease or insult?

I feel truly gutted as I write this. Infact such poor was our performance that I actually turned off the TV after Aurelio's goal. There was surely no coming back from there. 2 goals and a man down, the match was virtually over for us. It was more than an insult as we were beaten at home by such a big margin. After we scored the first goal, everything started going wrong. Apart from Park and probably Rooney, everyone had a horrendous game especially Vidic,Evra and Carrick. I hate to say this but we missed Berbatov. With the ineffectiveness of our famed midfield, we needed creativitiy. I'm still of the opinion that Tevez started the match only to releive pressure on SAF about his transfer speculation. And if the loss wasn't enough, I had bear with some pool friends of mine who kept messaging me with taunts after each goal by liverpool. The only positive I can see is that the players will be angry about their performance and will hopefully comeback stronger for the rest of the season. Hail United.

It was a weird game and the result was very unexpected. I can't say that Man Utd played too badly. In fact, they played some beautiful passing football at times with excellent movement. Especially at the start of the second half when Man Utd dominated possession, I think they played really well and deserved more from the game. The Liverpool goals all came from one-off incidents which dictated the outcome of the game. Two of the Liverpool goals were due to unforced errors made by Vidic. Vidic's sending-off made it a different game altogether. The other two goals were due to unforced errors from Evra, O'Shea and Van Der Sar. It's a combination of Man Utd making silly mistakes, and them being unlucky at times. Also, Liverpool's Gerrard and Torres were outstanding and very aggressive on the attack. But, Man Utd fans shouldn't be too disappointed. We are 4 points ahead at the top of the table with a game in hand. Plus, we should remember that Man Utd have won 14 games in a row prior to this match, and kept a record number of clean sheets. Winning the league is about consistency, and not the results of particular matches. Man Utd are doing just that, Liverpool aren't. Man Utd needs to evaluate this loss and focus on the remaining matches. They are undoubtedly favourites to win the league again this season.

Sucked to watch the game being a manc . Am not going to get into this blame game by blaming my defense . After all without them , we wouldn't be sitting on top with such a lead . Its just a bad day at the office and it came at the worst time against our worst rival in such a worst fashion . Hard to take it . But the lads would respond , because our manager is so vastly experienced and is cunning enough to convert a sympathetic pathetic performance into a good run of victories , good enough to win the league from then on . As a fan , i wouldn't care if we don't win the league , all i would want is to play Pool in Champions league and twart them . But if that is not possible , i would any day take the 18th title and rub it on their faces ! They played well . They have some quality players like mascherano , torres . Torres probably is the best striker right now , who is extremely lethal . The entire result isn't much of a concern , but the performance is ! And i hope we get over it and get back to basics .

I think this was a rude awakening for Man U. Deeply inside I feel Sir Alex will feel good about this as this will only serve to make it clear to those who think the title is won already and thus I expect a reaction from the players to this drubbing at the hands of their bitter rivals. On the day though Liverpool were really too good both tactically as well as more hungrier for a win than Man U. I also think this has been the best week Rafa has had at Liverpool and it was great to see them bring both Man U and Real Madrid to their knees. But now that this is over with Man U's upcoming next couple of opponents would have to feel the heat of a response as Sir Alex would roast the players after this defeat!! Cheers! Ram

After seeing its highlight, it's like a ridiculous goal for me, all of the goal from liverpool was pure because of blunder from MU defender, for me it's really a bad day for Vidic, for me he is quite responsible for the goal...

its a treat to Liverpool, and a tease for Man U. I think. :)

I have no Idea what to say, You ofcourse are a Manu supporter but for a neutral spectator of EPL i think this game had brought back some interest in the league. I saw the match it was a pretty mediocre display by ManU defence. But Liverpool as been unstopable this week starting with 4-0 Real Madrid. You could have seen this coming. Although i never expected a thrashing to ManU.
