He looking good. I was wondering where gerrard was then I saw him body check park.
Park got lucky on his goal, his touch didn't come into play as he hit it first time. For all I know he could just have been trying to trap the ball, and it just flew in.
Liverpool looked just like Man Utd did just after Agger scored .......

1-1 HT
Lost for words. I didn't think I'd ever see us defend a 1-0 lead with 10 men behind the ball in the first bloody half of a game.

Absolutely, the only difference between this and their other turgid performances recently is a goal from a set piece. I fully expect us to let them back into it second half though.

I've got to admit I'm amazed we managed to score, we look so one dimensional. Give it to Valencia and hope he does something because the left is just non existent.
Nice to see Carrick has gone back to being ****, terrible marking to leave Agger a free header for the goal, still I'm sure De Gea will be blamed.
Good finish by Park, annoyingly he seems to do something like this every 20 games or so and the good will from it carries him through until the next one
Welbeck might as well not be there, no support at all, Scholes just keeps launching at him like an idiot. Even if he wins the header who is he heading it to??

Ummm...
Erm, no. Man Utd kept their composure and took total control of the game, then we scored and Liverpool changed nothing. Shocking.

Don't agree at all, goalies shouldn't have to come for every damn ball. Fact is the defence (mostly Carrick as he was marking him) just ****** that up royally.
As below, we look a tired team. There's no energy in throughout the side and it's showing.
On the whole we've defended well but it only takes one mistake and no surprises that Enrique's casual play has cost us. I've mentioned so many times that his need to take a touch and/or overplay at the back will come to cost us and has today.
Hopefully things improve in the 2nd half :/
Given that we've barely broke into a jog in the first half, hopefully we'll be a bit fresher in the 2nd.

Enrique and Maxi have been shocking. I think some changes are in order if we're going to try and win this. Need some sort of attacking edge otherwise untied are going to walk this. I see Bellamy and Kuyt making appearances soon.
I don't think he should have come for the ball either.
He should have just made himself big on his line and he would have probably stopped it, instead he was quite far off his line pushing Andy Carroll which achieved nothing.

Gerrard has been back a few games now. He still looks slower than before and has an air about him that he has lost what made him special
The combined age of liverpool/utds midfield must be a million
