Yeah, our pressing on the left side (Fellaini in beast mode) has been excellent for 3 halves now.We've done very well to have him pinned back defending.

Embarrassing from us? Wh..what? We're controlling it. At Anfield. With 60%~ possession.Embarassing performance from both teams but at least we have "excuse" because we are leading.
In Young's defense, because of him we haven't see Sterling at his best. Rooney just typical performance against the teams from Liverpool. Saying that he is working his socks off in pressing the defense.Young invisible, Rooney shocking. The rest of the team has been very good.
Lallana and Allen boss the match against City, but you're above that? Behave.Sturridge 13 touches. Lallana and Allen playing in a game above their level. Hope Rogers doesn't change anything.
No, Young is doing enormous amounts of work down that left side. He has to stay on to cover for Blind.Maybe I'm just getting cocky, but I would really like to see what Di Maria can do around the 60th minute mark.
Sub him on for Young and have him run at the tired Liverpool legs. One more goal and the result will be in our favor. Call me cheek clinching, but I'd still take a draw, all things considered. We'll get stormed the second half, but I think we have what it takes to batten down the hatches. Di Maria could be our counter man a la our game with Arsenal.

We've been excellent what are you talking about?Embarassing performance from both teams but at least we have "excuse" because we are leading.
Huh?Embarassing performance from both teams but at least we have "excuse" because we are leading.
What a load of shite.Embarassing performance from both teams but at least we have "excuse" because we are leading.
Rooney has easily been bad enough to come off. He has lost the ball nearly every time he has had it. But to be fair I wouldn't take him off at this stage either, as you say atleast he has work rate and hopefully he ups his game second half.Complete control for 35mins. 50/50 for 10. Everyone playing well, Mata, Herrera, Smalling and Fellaini in particular.
Rooney has done little, but his work-rate is fantastic as always.
Can't see where we would make any substitutions. No one playing bad enough to come off.

Seems strange seeing a Liverpool supporter here. A bit like inviting someone with ebola round to watch the game with you and ya mates.Thankful it's only one. We've been soundly outplayed for the majority of the first half, but as long as the margin doesn't increase, we're still in the game.
I think he's winding people up...Huh?

I can't handle it. A wreck at the momentNerves are already shredded and still about 50 to go
He is being manmarked though and actually his movement off the ball created that gap that Mata dove into for the goal. He's not playing as bad as you making him out to be.Rooney has easily been bad enough to come off. He has lost the ball nearly every time he has had it. But to be fair I wouldn't take him off at this stage either, as you say atleast he has work rate and hopefully he ups his game second half.
Then I'm not seeing it.No, Young is doing enormous amounts of work down that left side. He has to stay on to cover for Blind.
