He's just putting fuel in the fire.

Liverpool fans - you will win quite easily next week if we play a full strength team in midweek, the team is absolutely jaded.

Well there is a possibility if the results don't change in the next 2 months. I am sure if the results don't change the Man U fans will start some kind of a protest to get Moyes out.

Arsenal VS Liverpool got the potential to be the best game of the season IMO.

This.

True that,look at Arsenal's midfield and Liverpool's attack.Defense of both teams is equal IMO,battle of nerves really.

Liverpool are never that great at the Emirates so I wouldn't quite call it the best game of the season as we'll be clear favourites. Only time they've won there in recent times was in 11/12 when we barely had a team at all.

As for defence, I don't agree. Liverpool have two gung-ho full-backs that defensively aren't good enough, so I'd put our defence ahead of theirs. CBs I would give us the edge as well but not quite as clear as the full-backs.

Never be over confidence. And the bad record at some places does not always stay bad.

Or just play Richards at RCB when Kompany's out, why Pellegrini's so adamant on Garcia at the back is just beyond me.

Ye it seems obvious he should try Richard at RCB. But the fact that he bought Demicheles always was bad sign for him.

There is rumour out the AS Roma want Richards in January, that would be a great choice for him.

----------

Loving Southampton & Everton ATM. English clubs that are playing very eye catching football with a large group of English players. Long may it continue this season.

Most people have been somewhat rightfully giving Mourinho stick for letting Lukaku going on loan. But as Andy Townsend is saying on commentary it seems as if Jose has made it his duty to revive Torres. The way how Torres beat Clichy who has real pace to supply the first goal was Torres of the liverpool days again sort of.

Well that was just gutting...

Demichelis is fit as well now, so he'll be the 2nd choice RCB from here on.

Considering that Man Utd as "in crisis" and Man City are "title favourites" someone might have to explain to me why there's just 2 points between them...

Man Utd are ''in crisis'' and Joe Hart is having a ''goalkeeping nightmare''

Man City's performances haven't been as bad as Man Utd's hence why not much attention is being given to their league position. Also the difference is that most people feel that Man City can still challenge for the title whereas they don't with Man Utd.

We've been unlucky, they've been outplayed, big difference.

He's too old to do a paul scholes. Don't give in to these articles. You wouldn't see United going the Palermo way and change managers at every breath and embarrass themselves. Most of the desperation for #moyesout is coming from unkind fans who would switch alliance at a defeat.

--------------------------

great game from Torres. Couldn't believe the last 10-15 minutes before half time, he missed a sitter and came around looking fired up. Seems to me now he's broken off of being way out of position and having a rusty tempo which were stagnant in his game at Chelsea. The game had a draw written all over it. Terrible defending from Nastasic, could've let Hart parry the ball while he fended torres off. Lucky torres didn't scramble that winner. I had bets on he would.

Have you ever played football before?

The only person to blame was Hart, simple as that, no need for him to come steaming out like a mad man.
