well CPTN, my thoughts are that Ronaldo never really got a great run on the ball, well he did once, with the way Liverpool defend its very hard for the individuals to attack as well as usual cos players like Ronaldo were double marked and Rooney was targeted by Carragher, after watching the video I think it was intended, though Jamie is a very hard defender and was always going for that ball/rooneys leg! I also think that Man utd did not deserve the win but It was Anfield, it was the robbers being robbed, great finish in the end, WE WON THE LEAGUE AT ……….ANFIELD!

As a liverpool supporter watching the game alongside a bunch of man utd fans I was terrified whenever Ronaldo touched the ball (he is surely one of the best if not the best player in the world at the moment), yet I was never worried watching Rooney on the ball. He had a terrible game and the man u fans around me agreed. I was surprised it took an injury for Ferguson to get him off the field. What are your thoughts?

donie – agreed

raymond – it’s something to discuss in detail, surely. There are still a couple of acute problems with the United squad, despite our winning habits this year. Carrick’s inclusion and Vidic’s form have hidden them a bit, but they’re still there.

united’s ball keeping has been exposed on the past 4 games. And coincidentally they are all away games (Lille, Reading, Fulham and Liverpool)

It shows something abt the player’s nerves I believe.
When the going get tough, none of them are able to find a pass and usually give the ball cheaply away by trying to play too fanciful passes.

Nonetheless, good will to win and what a fantastic result. Treble? Maybe not, but prem title… quite possible!

As far as I’m concerned we didnt loose the battle in midfield. Giggs, Scholes and Carrick kept the Liverpool trio of Alonso Gerrard and Sissoko relatively quiet. Evra did have a poor game but you cannot write him off over one match. We were inept up front and this encouraged Liverpool to come at us. Both Rooney and Laarson looked flat and the only time we looked threatening was when we got down the wings with Ronaldo and when Saha came on. Liverpool were unbeaten in the premiership for 18 months at home and it was up to them to break us down. I thought we were sitting back and looking to hit them on the break but without our front two firing, it appeared that Liverpool were in the ascendancy. I thought we defended brilliantly other then Evra and took our best chance. I never thought Liverpool were going to score. With the exception of the first ten minutes of the second half, we were giving as good as we got. I was happy with what i would call an impressive defencive performance. I dont think we were lucky at all.
