Result more important than performance today. That's it.

 

[sullydnl]

Awful performance, great result.

 

[Wumminator]

Worst Liverpool team in years and we had to resort to their level. Really hard to play nice football when they keep hoofing it up constantly.

In the end true class shone through. UNITED.

Ps - remember when some of us were worried about Klopp! Thank feck we didn't get him!

 

[ivaldo]

If it was Leicester they'd be talking about what a defensively heroic display it was, if it was Chelsea under Mourinho it round be tactical genius. The commentators sound devastated

 

[Woodzy]

Scraped through on a shit performance. Just like Sheffield United, Swansea and Watford.

 

[royboy16]

Good man Louis,his winning record against liverpool continues.

 

[VanGaalEra]

Jones and Rojo, love it.

 

[red_devil83]

Great win and that's all that counts!

 

[El Zoido]

Get in! Not as much of a smash and grab as sky seem to think. Liverpool had more efforts but didn't create many clear cut chances. On balance they were the better side but we defended well.

 

[Esquire]

The Klopp lovers on this forum won't like to see Klopp get beaten.
In any case, it was a good win. We didn't play well, but I did predict that the same score would be 0-0, 1-0 or 1-1. It was always going to be close.
MUFC upto 5th place now.

No complaints.

Actually plenty of complaints, we looked poor, especially clueless in the 1st half. But, as you say, a win is a win.

 

[justboy68]

Delighted to win. Complete smash and grab.

 

[Henrik Larsson]

With a great Rooney goal to top it all off, imagine how it feels to be a Liverpool fan right now

 

[Reynoldo]

Huge results in fairness, the table looks a whole lot better now.

 

[Tom Van Persie]

Terrible performance but great result.

 

[LawCharltonBest]

Any win is a good win at Anfield! Delighted!

 

[DevilRed]

Well this was one big LOL.

Smash and grab. The definition.

Right up there with the Oshea winner years ago. Will take that any day. Nothing makes me happier than lapping up the tears of dipper fans.

 

[LazyRed-Ninja]

There is literally no good time to post that ever.

Fair enough

 

[Snow]

Liverpool frequently concede from set pieces, take shot from everywhere, didn't play a striker. This boring gameplan that's usual business for United is actually a good tactic against Liverpool because they just aren't that good.

 

[Raw]

Btw, was the Rooney goal our only shot on goal?

Yeah I think so

 

[Judge Red]

Well, LVG has bored us through many draws and losses this season and kept his job. Maybe the board will sack him after a win at Anfield. Let him go out on a high...

 

[LARulz]

Terrible performance, terrible. But fantastic result, delighted to win.

 

[ChaddyP]

LVG is a scousebuster.

4 wins.

Get In!

5 if you count Miami

 

[Booyakasha]

Van Gaal is the managerial equivalent of Diego Forlan. Generally shit but loves making them Scousers cry.

 

[The Man Himself]

Forget the performance, Rooney O'Shea'd it

 

[CassiusClaymore]

Well happy with that.

Neither side looked good but couldn't care less today.

 

[Spoony]

To be fair, I did say we'd hammer them. Okay we weren't great but beating Liverpool is always priceless.

 

[bleedred]

For the first time in months feeling ecstatic after a United game.

 

[Nick 0208 Ldn]

The thumbscrew is till attached, it's just been loosened slightly.

 

[ivaldo]

Hollow victory, as per most of the season.

Fair weather merchant.

 

[Ixion]

Huge result but the performance was still lacking. We can't go back to relying on taking the one chance we might make in a game. Better in the second half but Liverpool are shit.

 

[Devil may care]

Shit performance in attack but showed good spirit and grabbed a vital 3 points, ugly but important.

 

[Empire]

This was always going to be a tough match, if it was like the Liverpool-Arsenal match we wouldn't cope, the best thing we could do was take the sting out of the match but that said we should have been more effective in attack.

The most important thing right now is points on the board, we've done that.

 

[Skills]

that's all

 

[bosnian_red]

Really bad performance but Liverpool is so fecking shite that it makes it all that much better because they weren't even that much better then us

 

[Classical Mechanic]

Get in! Not as much of a smash and grab as sky seem to think. Liverpool had more efforts but didn't create many clear cut chances. On balance they were the better side but we defended well.

Nearly every shot they had was from outside the box and ended up 10ft wide or over the bar. We were poor but Liverpool were crap too. It was like a game from the PL1990s era. Headless chicken stuff.

 

[ChaddyP]

With a great Rooney goal to top it all off, imagine how it feels to be a Liverpool fan right now

why would someone do that to themselves...jesus

 

[Zen86]

How the hell was that hollow?

Played shit, are shit. Does make it all the funnier, mind.

 

[Moonred]

Terrible for most part. But the feeling is ever so beautiful.

 

[JonDahl]

Deserved to win that!

 

[Zoo]

Better second half but we were there for the taking. We did enough to stay in it though and we took our chance. Liverpool were crap, they were the home team the onus was on them.

By the way Schneichel is a terrible pundit. He doesn't understand how we did it, not like we haven't gone there on the smash and grab in the past.

 

[united_99]

Phew! Badly needed the 3 points, and very sweet at Anfield despite the poor performance.
And DDG is God!
