....from the BBC's Twitter feed...
-Phil Johnson: Finally LvG has figured it out, no changes from a side that played United football.
-Andrew Tufnell: No matter the result today (hopefully #MUFC win), very important to see 5 UK players in each side!
-Zander Watson: Who would have ever thought that Young would be starting ahead of Di Maria vs Liverpool when they first signed him?

Anfield gets LVG seal of approval
Liverpool v Man Utd (13:30)

Manchester United manager Louis van Gaal: "When I have played against Feyenoord, I got more abuse. It was very nice coming here. The level of abuse is different in England. I like the atmosphere. We shall see which team can beat the pressure. Who can keep the ball? That is the key point and to control our emotion."
Very nice? I think once there are some fans in, Van Gaal gets tuned into Scouse and the game begins, he might alter that opinion.

'Rodgers deserves credit'
Quote:
 
"I think Brendan Rodgers deserves tremendous credit for the way he's fashioned the system Liverpool are currently playing. Earlier in the season, they were in such a bad way. So, they've done an excellent job at turning things around since then.
"As a manager, when things aren't going the way you want them to, you have to change it around. For Liverpool or Manchester United not to finish in the top four, it would be unthinkable."

As we count the minutes down to today's match, let's keep in mind the current table...
1-Chelsea, 64 pts(28g)
2-Man City, 61 pts(30g)
3-Arsenal, 60 pts(30g)
4-Man United, 56 pts(29g)
5-Liverpool, 54 pts(29g)

For Liverpool, the equation is simple: win and they leapfrog the Red Devils' into fourth-place on 57 pts.

--Simon Mignolet watched the teams' December meeting from the bench. The Liverpool goalkeeper had been dumped in favour of Brad Jones. Confidence apparently shot, and set for, in Brendan Rodgers' words, an "indefinite" spell out of the side, it looked like his time at Anfield might be up. Wrong. He has kept five clean sheets in his last seven games as part of a vastly improved Liverpool defence. I don't think anyone could have seen that one coming.

"I think in these particular games you get a bit more leeway. As a referee, to give an early yellow card, isn't a great idea. I think they err on the side of caution and as a player, you can maybe get a strong challenge in early that you wouldn't get away with in many other games."

...and Liverpool w/an early chance at goal; Lallana tries to feed Sterling but can't quite link up....
Already there are two different styles of football at play: United are going long-ball while Liverpool are going the fast-paced, quick-pass style...

Liverpool 0-0 Man Utd

First sniff of an opening for Liverpool as Raheem Sterling scampers in behind a dawdling Daley Blind and pokes the ball past the covering Phil Jones. United goalkeeper David de Gea is off his blocks like Usain Bolt though, sliding out to get to the ball before the Liverpool winger.

...I said in the pre-match thoughts; if Sterling & Coutinho can run United's wingers ragged, it'll be good tidings for the Reds'...

Quote:
 
"It's going to be an interesting battle Blind against Sterling. He snuck in there with the nutmeg early on. There's no questions that Sterling will have the legs on Blind in that left-back position and it looks like a tactical change by Brendan Rodgers to deliberately target that area."

...like I said earlier, I hope Blind ate his Wheaties this morning....
