KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum CONFIRMED TEAM & MATCH THREAD V MAN UNITED

The idea that bad calls even out annoys me (not you specificially). That's just not true. A penalty would have changed the game for sure.

And the goal, lucky or not, had nothing to do with the referee.

Very disappointed with that showing yesterday. Klopp has to take the lions share of the blame for me. Wrong selection first of all and then failed to react in a competent manner when it became obvious they were man marking Salah and targeting TAA. They weren't all that good, but we made it easy for them. You have to hand it to Maureen the scut, he got his selection and tactics spot on to win this game. Klopp could learn a lot from him about winning these sort of contests.

Jose just has the beatings of us...remember the Gerrard slip game...if I remember right, we were on an unbeaten run, on fire and playing well and they were ravaged with injuries...

He's still smarting from Garia's CL goal which knocked him out.

But that was another example of Moureen's one off tactical ability to win a game with a weaker team.

but it's us with the weaker team not United....your right about him being still hurt by the ghost goal, having said that I can remember another United making it his lifetime goal to knock us off our perch back in the day...Sir Alex...he sent his Aberdeen down to play us the European Cup a team filled with Jim Leighton, Willie Miller and Alex McLeish as well as Gordon Strachan back in 1980 and we wiped the floor with them 5-0 on aggregate, he never forgot that night and made it his goal to wipe the floor with us which he duly did....so Jose not the only one to hold a grudge..

Leagues don't lie, we are very close too each other and have been most of the season, so I wouldn't say there is much between the two sides, I think they have more strength in depth in squad, but they have spent huge amounts of money over the last few seasons, so that's to be expected, Klopp has been trying to rebuild our team/squad in that time to compete, taking over a much weaker squad and spending significantly less on Net balance.

I often wonder the motivation behind Fergy, Liverpool was build on a Scottish backbone with the likes of Shankly, Paisley, & Dalglish, so I wonder if that had anything to do with his bitterness as a rival Scot?

I don't think so ecnirp, Fergie was a great leader and like all great leaders he used the existing rivalry to his advantage, by whipping it up to motivate his squad.

Unfortunately for us Fergie is the greatest manager of them all and his legacy will be even more revered in years to come, nobody built as many winning teams as him and he is still the only manager to of broken the old firm monopoly...

Fergy did refuse to select Hansen for the Scotland 86 World Cup squad after we won the double, so I don't think there was much love for Liverpool.

I still think what Clough achieved with 2 small clubs in Derby and Forest was amazing and makes him the best, as a manager, I don't think we'll see the likes of him again.
