It doesn't make ferguson a tactical genius, it merely demonstrates that he is able to make the same kind of decisions that any football manager does. BTW I'm very happy with the progress Liverpool are making. All we need to do is stop being so profligate in front of goal.
Dunno how many other managers could turn a defeat into a draw by dropping five or six first choice players to be honest. I agree with that 100%. But with Kuyt seeming to have lost his shooting boots, Carroll still not firing and Suarez being very profligate that could be a big problem in tougher games.
If a genius is someone that puts 10 men behind the ball, then so he is as is Walter Smith and Tony Pulis. And Man United fans had the cheek to call Rafa defensive?
Got it in one traore Alternatively he know Liverpool would waste chances if they were forced to snatch at them when facing a well set up defensive line or take long shots. But they would probably take them if they were able to counter attack, run at a line that wasn't properly set or get men free in and around the box.
1 Point better off than last season's result so not bad tactics if you ask me. As the home team Liverpool should have took the initiative more.
Both you and your comment are a joke. You may have got 1 more point but you have clearly identified that United haven't improved from last year. United fans may hate EMF but your performace proved that your midfield is still poor when it is pressed and that your back 4 still panic.
Dave Thank god there is one Liverpool fan on this board apart from Page Moss that has a pair of balls.
Getting a bit childish on this thread. Swarbs I think you were having a bit of a sly dig there with adding Stoke and Sunderland to your initial comment. You could say that Fergie was a bit worried about you getting a hiding with his team selection other than worrying about Europe. At the point of 1-1 Utd may have deserved a point but we were unlucky from there on, De Gea pulled off some good saves and you got away with it. EMF with your comment about fans on this board having a pair of balls you just show how full of **** you are.
You have some work to do Mr moderator. For the most part the majority iof us have been quite good after the game.
UTD are a better team than last year, but our Midfield is still weak, I am sure The Lord will address that problem, with a top player, who wants champions league football.
