Manchester United 1 Liverpool 0

Just finish watching clashed of the titans, Manchester United vs Liverpool on ESPN. I would like to say, it is not a deserving win for Manchester United. Liverpool worked so hard through out the whole game and they lost. Meanwhile Manchester United players especially the midfielders and strikers just walked around see got ball kick no ball then jalan-jalan. I seriously salute the MU defend. I can see that they are working very hard. Patrice Evra, Nemanja Vidic, Rio Ferdinand and Wes Brown. Even though they make mistakes but at least they are doing something.

I was watching the game and then suddenly i started to count the number of MU players on field by trying to recall the names that were mentioned by the commentator. How come only got 10 MU players? Got 1 tio sent off ar? It was than that i saw him. Our great Manchester United Legend, Ryan Giggs. Guess what?!?! I only saw him on the hour mark. Woooohooo....i must be blind.

Carlos Tevez goal was a lucky one. He was at the right spot at the right time and a Liverpool player ( if not mistaken is Benayoun ) was also at the right spot at the right time to make Carlos Tevez onside. If it's not lucky than it must be you-know-what-i-mean.

Wayne Rooney wasn't doing anything. He is playing his usual bull-style football. Christiano Ronaldo was running around and around and around and around and .........( it goes on) The only thing i saw Anderson doing was chasing after balls that we know he couldn't get. Why is he fielded in the first place? Hargreaves oh Hargreaves....do you need to use your head when you can use your leg? I saw u headed the ball 3 times in 2 minutes.

As i was saying, there's something i enjoy watching about the game, Manchester United Defence. I shall describe it as the Ultimate. Evra and Vidic basically chase down and dispossessed every ball every time Liverpool attack. Ferdinand is simply superb being the last man. If you can get passed him, you score the goal. Brown was quite ambitious because i saw him running up to attack but he did a good job behind, closing down and clearing a few balls. Van der Sar is just doing his usual work but i think he had a tough and stress time today.

I only manage to see my favourite Manchester United player during the last 10 minutes. Maybe that's the reason why i complained about MU midfield. LOL. Why no Michael Carrick? He only came on as a substitute on the 83 minute. I just love to see his long pass. How did he make it so accurate?


It was a long time since I last watched a Liverpool match. The old Liverpool is so boring. Defend, defend, defend then counter attack. That's the reason why their matches always end up goalless or winning by a margin of 1 goal. That is also the reason why i never like seeing the old Liverpool play. I got a shock today when i see them playing against MU. I never knew Liverpool can play such a fast pace game. This shows how long has it been since i last saw Liverpool play.

Stevie G is still my idol but i'm not a Liverpool fan. I'm surprise to see Harry Kewell, Jamie Carragher,Sami Hyypia and John Arne Riise still around. Some new faces like Alvaro Arbeloa (when the commentator said his name i thought i heard abalone). Did Peter Crouch grow taller?!?!? I've always been told that Mascherano is always dominating the midfield. Today i witnessed it myself but he need to control his temper.

Generally, it is a very entertaining game. It has everything a football match should have. The game just lacked a little bit of equality. Too much attacking from Liverpool. Too much defending to be done by Manchester United. Fairly, it is a good game (GG).
