Liverpool vs Man Utd Post Match gloating

[RedReet]

Gerrard did really well holding yesterday (and I've been really critical about that part of his game)

Whether it was actually by design / discipline or his injury prevented him from bombing on more I dont know

But I'll give him the benefit of doubt and commend him

I do think the injury played a major part. He took very few free kicks and corners (if any) also which is very unlike him. It’s very unusual for Lucas to be swinging free-kicks in. I was very surprised to see him finish the game.

The next time we meet at OT will be a pretty juicy game. Cannot wait.

Apparently Rooney was laughing at Nani crying?

It was a strange match yesterday from a United point of view.
Fergie seemed very friendly(overly) with the Liverpool bench before and after kick off and even at the final whistle he shook Sammy Lee's hand then gave him a big pat on the back

As for Rooney i thought getting outplayed and hammered by Liverpool would make him lose the plot and charge around the pitch like a bull but he was as calm as i've ever seen him on the pitch.

[Fredo]

I think Rooney is finished at United. The edge to his game, which made him so competitive has gone. I don't think he wants to be there, he wanted out earlier in the season.

Last season for whiskey nose ???

I think he meant that Carra intended to hit him, not necessarily injure him.

Correct!

Where would he could though? I can't see it tbh.

When we went 2 up, i said to my mate 'wait to you see Rooney losing it now' then when Carragher did Nani i thought this his ideal opportunity to go running at the Ref and go charging around..but he did **** all

And in the 2nd half, it was much of the same. there was no drive from him to get his time back into, looked as though he just accepted defeat.
He wasn't alone tbf, most of the United team were ****e y'day.

He's a completely different player this year. Sure injuries had some to do with that but his pace and the fluency of movement in the box is not there.

He'll score an odd goal here and there but he's not a threat as he used to be.

I think Hernandez gives them much more now and he probaby should be paired more often with Berba than Wayne.

Nah i think he'll still be there next season fella...next season could well be his last one though.

Just a thought but is there any change that the Rooney transfer request and subsequent pacifying of him (new contract etc) could be a deal done like they did with Ronaldo and we have done with Alonso that he'll agree to stay a bit longer but they will let him go (perhaps a clause in his contract allowing him to leave at some determined point or if an offer meeting a valuation comes in)?

I think he'll be around much longer than a single season. He's been contemplating retirement now for years and he is still here.

Very much like Brett Favre in NFL..

I totally forgot Rooney played yesterday. Thats how much of an impact he made. I even remember Berbatov trying to do something. Not Rooney though.

Who knows what Fergie is thinking but with Scholes and Giggs probably only have one season left after this, Fergie might want to call it a day with them.... Not to mention VDS retiring in the summer and Gary Neville already retired.
End of an era sorta thing.

Even if it was I doubt he would have told the players after what happened last time. Also didn't he say recently that he had no plans to leave, although we know what he says is worthless, I can't see him going until he has at least has taken the Scum to 19 titles.

There was one moment second half

Ball was down by the corner flag and Carragher was charging over to Rooney (as was Gerrard)

Carragher blocked tackled Rooney and the ball spun towards Gerrard who again blocked tackled Rooney. Rooney then made as though he was going to kick Gerrard but stopped himself. He then sheepishly looked at Carragehr & Gerrard

For all Rooneys bravado and supposed toughness hes always scared of those two
