First goal at Anfield last year (from .com): United went behind to a goal that that owed as much to the the idiocy of Danny Simpson as it did to sloppy defending by Mike Williamson. A weak header from the latter to half-clear Flanagan's right wing centre. fell to Maxi Rodriguez about 14 yards out. His scuffed right-footed shot looked to be covered by Tim Krul at his near post, until Simpson inexplicably stuck out his elbow to divert the ball past his 'keeper. Had it not gone in, a penalty award seemed obvious. 0-1

"He did nothing when he came on" ffs. Honestly, I thought some of you understood football better than that. The only true judge of a player is what he does in the game from the kick off when he still has a chance to influence the tempo of the game, to make the opposition worry a little bit, instead of looking at the teamsheet and laughing as I'm sure Dalglish did last night. You can't just hoy a player on at Anfield when you've hardly touched the ball all game, you're 2-1 down before he's even touched it, their players are having the easiest game they've had all season and then go "durrrrrrrrrrrrr he's dun nowt ther like, we got beat and that". I don't know why more teams don't leave their best creative players on the bench until the 70th minute if it's so easy for them to influence the game at that point. I don't know why I bother honestly, fucking hell.

He doesn't have to be a brilliant motivator to be better than Pardew, and considering how much happier you are with Cabaye and Ba instead of Nolan and Carroll, saying the squads are similar is an outrageous statement Sewelly.

One point from six at home including throwing away a three goal lead is better than one away defeat? You're embarrassing yourself.

Quite funny that the West Brom game is constantly thrown at Hughton when Pardew has played them twice at home, picked up one point, conceded six goals and put in two absolutely disgraceful performances.

Got the ball clean as you like, player went over his leg. Was absolutely obvious at the time imo, ball clearly changed direction.

That doesn't mean he's played well. I wouldn't look at him as a scapegoat at all, no , but when I'm told he's one of your best players I'm failing to see it[/lolyesthatgoalhahaha] This is how Pardew's trying to win the ego battle though, sending him on in impossible situations like at Anfield when you've had the team playing like frightened kittens for an hour, starting him against the three best sides in the land then leaving him out against Norwich, Swansea and West Brom because he's "not fit". Bet him scoring at Bolton proper ruined Pardew's Christmas.

Are you for fucking real or what?

I pointed this fact out a few weeks ago. Once he suddenly has top class players at his disposal he doesn't know how to us them, and instead he makes them scapegoats. Yep, it's Tevez and Mascherano all over again.

Tonight was a reminder of what can happen when you let a manager do what he likes with your prize assets simply because he doesn't like them. Craig Bellamy should have been playing for Newcastle for the last ten years and we are still suffering from letting that cunt give him away for peanuts. The worst irony is that Souness will be delighted that his beloved Liverpool have won tonight. If we let Pardew keep this shit up it'll be just as big a mistake.

We used to try and give Cabaye the ball. He's gone home in a neck brace after tonight.

We're playing a completely different way to early season, we were seeing some interchange between the central players and the wingers, 1-2s, some attempt at playing the wide players into space behind the full back, that's all gone. It's all long ball, get it in the box from deep, work on your stats, proper Allardyce style shit. The boss has finally stamped his style on the team and boy, aren't we suffering.

The missus said she was worried when they got that free kick, I turned and said to her when Gerrard walked away "there's absolutely zero chance of Bellamy scoring past Krul from there, he can't hit it hard enough", I got the blame for jinxing it, I should have anticipated our full back dashing back to play everyone inside and head it past the goalkeeper.

Absolutely spot on.

Stoke will overtake us within the next month.

Never seen anything in my life like that free kick. Frigging hell.

Neither are Norwich but they would have put up more of a fight. I'm not really sure what our game plan was tbh, unless it was to treat Liverpool like footballing gods and allow them the run of the field. Absolutely.

Such a fucking coward. This is what you get when your manager spends the entire weekly press conference going on about how we can't compete with the likes of "sovereign states" like Liverpool, your players treat them like they're world class instead of utter duds like Stewart Downing and Jordan Henderson. We played like he'd sat them down in the dressing room and made them watch the 2005 European Cup Final. Pathetic specimen.

Utter fucking dross, same as every week.. He'll start against Man United and Ferguson will laugh his head off.

The manager should be absolutely ashamed of himself sending an NUFC side out to play like that against those players. They are garbage and we spent ninety minutes shitting ourselves.

Pardew's cowardly tactics transmitting to the players. We're playing against Jordan Henderson and Jay Spearing and look absolutely bloody terrified of them.

Man I'm fucking desperate to win this match.

Even if you want to play Vuckic, there's no justification on this Earth for starting Obertan ahead of him. He is utter dross.

How's he going to get fully fit sitting on the bench?
