First step on the road to recovery.
Obviously we would have all preferred a win but it was nice to enjoy watching Liverpool for the first time in months.
Playing higher up the pitch, nicer passing, closing down and just a bit of ambition that have all being missing.
the only way is up!
welcome back King Kenny!!

smh = scratching my head

No, means "shake my head"

Webb wins it for them. Bravo.

Pretty much sums things up nicely.

Good, good performance by 10 vs 12 men but we desperately need some width.

If we can get a pacey winger or 2 things will look much brighter.

With 11 men we got wide well enough using the full backs. But obviously some top wide players would be a great boost to the team.

Against ten men we were just unable to keep hold of the ball enough as they just out numbered us.

Kenny should come out and publically call that ****ing cunt a cheat.

Skrtel and |Agger did really well considering we were down to 10 men and still chased the game. A much better performance than earlier in the season when we had 11.

One annoying aspect was that Man Utd caused havoc when they used their full backs on the overlap. Too often we were left with the full back one against two and other players were too slow to come across and cover.

Even at ten men we shouldn't be opened up that easily.

Spot on. A lot more cohesive and team like. Like they all subscribed to it.

But Gorby - no badmouthing Carragher?!

Skrtel and Agger didn't look too unorganised without the organiser did they?

New manager Kenny Dalglish was frustrated with the decisions against Liverpool at Manchester United on Sunday, but was impressed by his side's application.

The Reds' FA Cup dream came to an end at Old Trafford as they were dumped out 1-0 in the third round after Ryan Giggs converted a penalty for the home side in just the second minute.

Referee Howard Webb awarded the spot-kick after Dimitar Berbatov went down in the area off a Daniel Agger challenge, then piled more misery on the visitors when he handed captain Steve Gerrard a red card after 30 minutes.

But while less than happy with the decisions, Dalglish, who replaced Roy Hodgson at the helm of the struggling Merseysiders on Saturday, took plenty of positives from the encounter.

Important

"The two decisions are important factors in the game, but if you went into detail about them it would take away from the commitment of the players," said Dalglish.

"It's difficult to come here, they are top of the league and when you are down to 10 men and lose a goal in the first minute you need to show commitment, and the players did that and they had great support here today as well.

"If we can restrict the team at the top of the league to that, that bodes well for us.

"We also brought three young lads on to try and freshen it up as our guys had put in so much effort."

When pressed on the penalty and red card incidents, he added: "I did not think the penalty was a penalty kick.

"The sending off....Is anyone who leaves the ground to get sent off now? The thing was that Howard Webb stepped away from the incident and then blew his whistle after one of our lads kicked the ball."

Dalglish says his side's performance on Sunday has put him in a positive frame of mind for when the Premier League resumes next weekend.

"For me it's a fantastic journey this next six months," he added.

"And if they put as much effort and commitment into the cause as they did today, then they should be alright."

The new boss insists he has no specific players on his radar that he wants to bring to Liverpool, despite the inevitable transfer talk surrounding the club.

Ideas
"I've no pre-conceived ideas of anybody that I've got in mind to come in," he said.

"At the end of the day, there's always going to be rumours and speculation, especially when a new fella comes in, and especially when the January transfer window is open.

"It's logical to assume there is, but factually I don't know."

Take into consideration the amount of football hes played in the last few months, then think how good him and Skrtle could be if they get an extended run together.

haha my original post read

".......when we had 11 when you-know-who was playing"

but i deleted it because I wasn't in the mood to start arguing the toss.

Decent game, I thought we played quite well, the whole game, tired a little towards the end but that was to be expected being down to 10 for so long. Webb won the game for them no doubt about it, aside from that they only had a couple of moments where they looked threatening; Evans(?) header against the bar and the spell where Reina made about 4 saves.

We tried to play with a more adventurous style, higher up the pitch more pressing etc, and the players looked like they had more confidence than under Hodgson. There were still signs of the way Hodgson had us playing, the fact that we had so many poor passes at times.

I thought it was interesting what Kenny did with the lineup Kelly coming in and Shelvey given a chance from the bench was good, I can't see Hodgson doing either of those.

I'm disappointed with the result and the manner of it (Webb) but I'm not too down, and am a hell of alot more optimistic for the rest of the season!
