omgukilledkenny SG

Torres to run circles around Vidic again? or Rio who hasn't had a competitive game in ages?

Rooney9 SG

Torres is not match fit as he just came back from injury. he came back late from pre season due to spain involvement in the world cup.

The Liverpool defender wants the official to appreciate that tackles will inevitably fly in because so much is at stake between the fierce rivals at Old Trafford.

“You hope the referee understands it is a big game,’’ said Konchesky. “I won’t alter my style. You need a strong ref. It is a big derby and there are going to be tackles flying about, so you need a sensible ref who isn’t going to be silly and send people off left, right and centre.

“You can’t hold back, it is a big game. This is a massive game for the club. Hopefully we will have a sensible ref.”

Webb showed 14 yellow cards and one red in the World Cup final, although most observers acknowledged that they were justified. The Rotherham official himself admitted that he should have been even stricter and sent off Holland’s Nigel de Jong for a karate kick on Spain’s Xabi Alonso.

Konchesky cannot wait for the game. “The derbies up north are bigger than the ones in London,’’ said the former Fulham defender.

“No disrespect to Fulham, if you go to Old Trafford and come away with a draw it is a massive bonus, but going with Liverpool you expect to win. That is the expectation of the club and the fans. They are fanatical fans and this is what they live for.

“Every day, you get out of your car and there are Liverpool fans wanting to talk to you. It is a good thing but we need to pay them back and bring silverware for them. The feeling in the club is we want to be up there fighting for the Champions League.’’

It has been a low-key start by Manchester United. Time is on their side, but it would be irksome to Sir Alex Ferguson if Chelsea's four-point lead over them was extended this weekend. Liverpool come to Old Trafford happy with the 4-1 victory over Steaua Bucharest in the Europa League, particularly since Jamie Carragher, Fernando Torres, Steven Gerrard and others did not take part. Roy Hodgson's side, whose last league match was the goalless draw away to Birmingham, should be fresh and awkward opponents.

I hope united to win at old trafford. prediction united 2 liverpool 0

Rooney9 SG

Sir Alex Ferguson yesterday took up a defiant stance in his determination to refuse interviews with the BBC, declaring that he would not face a fine from the Premier League on the issue.

Sir Alex Ferguson has taken a parting swipe at Rafael Benitez by suggesting that Roy Hodgson is paying the price for the big spending of his predecessor as Liverpool manager.

Roy Hodgson has told Liverpool supporters: Lay into Wayne Rooney tomorrow.

Alex Ferguson turned down the chance to sign Joe Cole this summer.

Rooney9 SG

Rooney9 SG

berbatov goal....torres marking lol...

jonchao72 SG

torres had such a great time grinding berbatov so much that he forgot to defend

omgukilledkenny SG

Poor marking by Torres, Berbatov scores with a header.

omgukilledkenny SG

Carragher's handball deemed unintentional by Howard Webb.

zocoss SG

So far so good... Just hope they continue to play better... Giggs is not doing anything so far. And Berbatov is fast becoming my favourite United player...
