The OFFICIAL Liverpool Supporters thread

Get a grip. Yes, United will be probably be top by the time Liverpool play Everton and will be hot favourites for the league, but its not even the middle of January yet. This isn't other years when Liverpool were 15 points adrift at this point, while, impressive as United were today, they've struggled for consistent form over the past couple of months too. Its been a bad weekend for Liverpool for sure, but they're still in a very strong position.

United have been improving of late and have conceded very little and chalked up a number of wins in the league without being spectacular.  Benitez's rant couldn't have helped Liverpool yesterday, although I'm sure some will beg to differ.

Rafa can really inspire a team to a win, his speach really gets the team up to go out and prove themselves to be the best. Just a pity it is not his own team In rafa we trust Great weekend altogether

'Mr Ferguson' says Rafa is Disturbed

You have to laugh at the stuff they come up with on F365 (even if you're a Liverpool supporter)

I wonder about some of the clowns on here, any of you that think what Benitez said on Friday had any direct impact on yesterdays result or todays need to maybe follow a different sport. Do you think the United players were bouncing off the walls in the changing romms screaming "lets show that fat Spanish ****" ? It just does not work like that, teams at the top level and United in particular are highly self motivated for each game & especially for a game of todays magnitude, regardless of press conferences...........

No but we said last Friday that unless Liverpool won the pundits and media will all be proclaiming Ferguson the Jedi Master of mind games once again and how the Obi Wan Kenobi of Old Trafford made a monkey out of Padawan Benitez.

If you come out in the press like that you better make sure you win because they will be on his back now and even further up Ginsoak's derriere.

Have to say Carragher on sky looked as sick as a parrot.     Wears his heart on his sleeve too much for punditry involving his own teams title challenge.  Fair play to him for turning up tho.

Jamie Redknapp giving him a consoling "I feel your pain" pat on the leg at the end was hilarious.

Dire performance yesterday. Forget about the platitudes towards plucky Stoke and their hard work ethic etc etc. A team sitting at the top of the league with Liverpool's resources and ambitions should be beating the likes of Stoke, end of. The result was nearly a forgone conclusion before the first whistle was blew given Liverpool's line up for the game. That was the same formation and line up more or less as at the drawn game against Hull a couple of weeks back, with the same sort of huff and puff, toothless performance. Plain as day yesterday what way the game was heading, after the first 20 mins.  Very frustrating that the formation and personnel weren't changed at half time.  Just weren't able to get enough bodies into the box.  I wouldn't fancy Liverpool to win games against anyone with Kuyt up front on his own. Well done to Stoke for closing Gerard down. Ever since the Newcastle game i've been expecting teams to put a man marker on him.  It's really amazing that Liverpool have been able to top the table with players like Benayoun and Lucas about the place. How bad was Lucas? The likes of Babel coming on and running down cul de sacs doesn't inspire much either.
