The Mancunians’ Nightmare: My Top 3 Finest Moments of Liverpool VS Manchester United

Hey Guys (Man Utd supporters, look away. Read something else :P ),

As a lifelong supporter of The Reds, nothing satisfied me more than watching a game that Liverpool dominated and subsequently walloped, bullied and outsmart their fiercest rival, Manchester United. Don't get me wrong. I have lots of respect for Man Utd and this is not a post to insult them. This is a post to relive the moment where the boys from Liverpool worked their socks off to get good results against one of the best teams in the world. This is to recap the magic moment and I sincerely hope that the boys will pull off such an excellent performance once again this Saturday.

Luis "The headline grabber" Suarez tormented the Devils

Liverpool were a struggling team for half the season due to turmoil off the field with the change of owner and poor results on the pitch but with the return of King Kenny and the signing of Luis Suarez, fortune quickly favored The Reds as the Uruguayan Suarez subsequently tormented United's defense and became the star of the show.

My reaction: I jumped, screamed and shouted and clapped in enjoyment throughout the match.

Ferdinand's Spanish Nightmare

Torres had a quiet game until 65th minute when Rio Ferdinand decided to take a nap. The Spaniard raced towards the goal and scored with a powerful shot. David Ngog wrapped up the game with a second Liverpool goal in the dying minutes of the game.

My reaction: I was biting my teeth throughout the whole game. I was so afraid that Man Utd will score a late equaliser and so when David Ngog finished them off, I screamed "YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

The Devil Shocker
Manchester United 1 Liverpool 4 (2009)

Football fans of both sides watched the game in disbelieve as Liverpool absolutely outclassed the eventual champion Manchester United. Torres, Gerrard, Aurelio and Dossena each scored beautiful individual goals in this game.

My reaction: My mouth was wide open. I couldnt believe it! When United scored, to lead at 1-0, I was thinking "Ah...it's just gonna be one of those days". Even when we were leading 3-1, I was skeptical. I was holding both my hand and hoping United wont score a 2nd goal. So when Dossena scores the last goal for Liverpool, I finally accepts that we are going to win. We are gonna get the big scoreline. And naturally, I jumped and screamed!

My ideal team formation for this Saturday's match

I strongly feel that Manchester United is getting stronger andPublish Post stronger with Ashley Young as their new acquisition, they have speed and power. Imagine Nani, Rooney and Young combining together, what is the outcome of that so far? 24 goals in 7 matches. Disturbing, no? With the slow legs of Jamie Carragher, we may be in for a rough time if things at the back are not taken care of. So I think 5-4-1 is the best formation and it is exactly the same formation when we thrashed them 3-1 in March. I hope the King will pull this off and give me an entertaining match. It's up to him now. Good luck!

It's goodbye for now.

XOXO,
