They very much have all the hallmarks of a typical Martinez side, very similar to what we saw when he was at West Brom only that at Everton he has access to more funds, a higher wage bracket, a bigger name and a better academy. He's showing this season why I and many other Spurs fans were adamantly against appointing him after Interim Tim.
I assume you mean Wigan? But yeah, the fact that they have a top class striker in Lukaku who is the joint-top goalscorer in the division yet are 11th in the league would suggest that he doesn't know how to build a cohesive defence.
"If pool win LVG will be sacked...so for the comedy value of him remainIng a draw is the best result" We back any sequence of results that ensures LVG does not get sacked until at least after the current transfer window closes.
Liverpool must be very wary of Man Utd today, as they're using their secret weapon. He'll take up a position in the middle of the park and make things very difficult for them. Tends to be better for them in home games though, does Mark Clattenburg.
However, I cannot bear 'Pool winning. I hate everything about them - their stupid fans, the over-blown media hype, the thick ex-'Pool clown-pundits, the false sentimentality, their forever living off the glories of the 70s, Robbie Fowler, King Kenny, Tramp Lawro, Tom O'Cooner, Cilla Black records, Bread, Gerry and the fcuking Pacemakers, hub-caps - the lot! So, no, I want 'Pool to get mullered. I always want 'Pool to get mullered.[/QUOTE] Great post HIAG! Though I think its about time you got off the fence and said what you really think!!
The personnel that he has at the back and in the middle are actually very good, too. Tim Howard's had some shocking games this season, though. Made some very poor decisions.
How much did these two teams cost? Cos whatever it was they were done! 40 mins in and the only save required was from United's keeper which was pretty routine. The best description is that Liverpool have been less **** than United
What you were meant to say is THIS GAME IS THE MOST FANTASTIC EXHIBITION OF THE TWO GREATEST TEAMS IN THE HISTORY OF THE GREATEST LEAGUE IN THE WORLD!!!!!1! - because if you don't, a squadron of Sky's attack drones will converge on your location.
Any minute now we'll see what Sky's home trained pundits have to say. Edit: as per usual,I can't understand one ****ing word Carragher says.,..
BBC stats suggest the game is a nervy affair, with both sides afraid of losing that final Europa slot via the PL.
Liverpool 3 attempts on target (2 routine saves and 1 good save) Man Utd 0 attempts on target 65 minutes gone
