Or maybe as a German he's just more naturally reserved?

Voronin, i think he looked pissed because there goes his chances anymore games. Ngog will surely get more game time now.

Nah, there's more to it than that.... and he's Ukrainian.

Ukrainians are even more reserved than Germans...and Ukrainians who have played in Germany have zero emotions at all.

An interesting side-note appears in the match report of The Daily Telegraph's Henry Winter as he brands Gary Neville a disgrace:

'Inevitably, Ferguson moaned about the referee but really there were two people attempting to run this game, Marriner and Neville. As he warmed up along the touchline, Neville kept lecturing the linesman in-between goading lippy Liverpool fans. Mike Phelan, Ferguson's No 2, eventually had to bring the club's stroppy No 2 back into the dug-out.

'Neville's behaviour was disgraceful. No one expected anything else. This is the fixture of sound and fury signifying everything. The intense rivalry that Ferguson had spoken about was present everywhere from the froideur between the managers, the hatred between the fans and the competitive zeal embodied by Carragher and Torres.'

This was Winter's Twitter last night:

henrywinter For a bright guy Gary Neville can be v thick. Kop abuse was nasty but Neville shouldn't have responded + words/gestures. Expect complaints

Yeah noticed a lot of people from those threads didn't bother posting today. That is something that is very disappointing to see.

They were probably in the pub.

Unusually quiet in the Press this morning, isn't it? Purslow's interview and THAT performance seems to have made the lot of them shut up. Hopefully, that's it with us now. I wonder who's the next target for their treatment? My guess, Mark Hughes.

[dww]

Correct. And he didn't play in Gerrards position either. He played on the right.

Kuyt was as dogged as ever today, but I think his strating position in a first choice Liverpool XI is under threat. Yossi was simply fantastic again and deserves to be one of the first names on the team sheet.

The only problem is where to play him. He's not good enough to play on the left in front of Insua/Aurelio as both would get badly exposed in the big games. So it's either behind Torres or on the right. With Aquilani on the mend and Stevie to come in, that only leaves the right side for Yossi IMO.

And with that being the case it gives Rafa a big selection headache.

I think viewing a big team as having a set starting XI is probably where the problem begins. I think you want a t least the level of competition and options you talk about there. In fact I think with Babel's failure to build on a brief bit of good form we are very obviously at least one option too light in attacking areas.

Nah, the next one will be Rafa. It's always Rafa.

Players do get rotated, but in the big games it's generally the best XI players fit and available that play. Hence, I mentioned the set starting XI.
