Damn it, still promising though.

Suarez mark two. The league gets rid of one low life, cheating scumbag and another comes in to take his place.

These players should not be at the top level. They are cheats and if theywere punished every time they cheated they would miss half the season.

It does my head in.

Yet another game he should have seen red.

If Costa was playing for Bolton or Blackburn he'd get sent off every time he played. Nearly as bad as suarez as you said. Hate figure.

He's also boring as fuck to me as a player.

Carragher just showing how Utd's shape stopped Liverpool from passing, loads of arrows & triangles pointing to the right & a Liverpool player stood in 30 yards clear space on the left with only one defender between him and the box, 20 yards away from the bloke with the ball. Here's an idea; pass it to him.

Also showed how Utd passed the ball inside; 3 Liverpool players run at the bloke with the ball, the other guy runs from deeper, away from a Liverpool player, poss Coutinho, who just lets him go.

After all the fucking shit City got for that, they do exactly the same & no mention of it.

Luke Chadwick just scored for Barca.

Very good delivery from Messi. Shocking defending by Ramos.

Suarez at it again cheating fucker

And now a kick in the calf. And a dive.

Men are meant to be tough but clearly not the men in this game. Pepe is brushed on his calf and goes down like he has had his leg blown off. One of my biggest pet hats in football, overdramtic footballers. They should be ashamed of themselves.

1-1 Ronaldo, beautiful goal. Some back heel that.

I wonder what would happen if we made a commentary team of Ray Hudson and Peter Drury. Cringey exaggerations galore.

The way Real Madrid are chasing in this game puts us to shame. Without it, they would be dead.

Well on top now. Should be winning.

We are absolute miles away from both of these. It's a hard pill to swallow but plainly obvious

Thanks to some nice finishing from Neymar. More I see of him, more I think he'll be playing somewhere else before too long.

22 players good with and without the ball, lesson is buy players who can do this.

The fact that Modric & Mascherano are regulars, shows it's not just about quality. Marcelo has done more in the game than Kolarov & Nasri put together, & that's not an exaggeration.

Yep. Someone above said 22 players food off the ball. Don't quite agree (messi, Neymar, Ronaldo, benzema) but it def shows that if you have a team with the majority working on and off the ball then you're 80% there. That said with the exception of silva none of our players can keep the ball like these teams.

Marcelos skill on the touch line was mint!

Not all of their players track back. But those that don't are pacy players ready to counter-attack.

Marcelo's skill reminded me of Angelino.

I think our players can keep the ball but bottle it. That allied to less pace & less workrate, is the problem imo. The ability to do it is there.
