Seriously, they have the talent to win, regardless of who plays.
I'd be blaming the players before the manager.
His scheme offers no offensive pressure, especially now that Owen is hurt. That's just the way I see it.Quote:

Liverpool seems to be the same team they have been the past few seasons. Frustrating and inconsistent. :( On form they can beat anyone, but the next week they'll usually lose to a minnow. :p Some fans blame Houllier, some do not. I still believe in him - but I admit I have plenty of concerns and don't agree with some of his tactics and player decisions. It's worth noting that this season there have been many bad injuries, which is an excuse, but there should be better cover because it is bound to happen now and then. :\
I don't think the team will do too much this season. They could always challenge for a Cup and I hope they find enough form to get into the Champions League. I am extremely excited about Le Tallec and Pongolle. Houllier deserves credit for bring them in.
I must admit that this past weekend's disaster did not bother me that much, simply because Patrik Berger is my favourite player and I could not help but feel great for him. The loss to Charlton on the other hand.. that was awful. :curse:
United win at Ibrox to go tops in their Champions League group. Van Nistelrooy didn't score, but thanks to Phil Neville's 5th minute goal, United was able to hold on for the full three points. Job well done by United.

yeah but gotta give Rangers credit they dominated the second half and if barthez was the keeper , they would have scored , overall great gameQuote:

Ferguson bumbles by sitting Keane and subbing Scholes with 20 min left. Poor game by United, no pressure up front and a defense that played like Swiss cheese.

Ronaldo looked real frustrated since he didnt score yet , he kept the ball too much especially in the second half and gaveaway the ball alot , Forlan after scoring the 1st goal wanted to become the hero or somethin he had an opportunity to pass to Ruud and score a certain goal but no he wanted to score himself, Ruud didnt hit a single shot because nobody passed the ball to him in a good position , terrible match by United and Fulham deserved to winQuote:

Usually he looks to pass first, but he passed on a wide open Ruud. I heard Man Utd is trying to get a striker from Sao Paolo, Luis Fabiano. I don't know much about him, but they hold him high regards. If they can work it out, then he might be at Old Trafford when the transfer window reopens. Could finally be someone to take some of the load off of Ruud.

Well Iran is back on top of their Asia Cup qualifying group with their 3-1 win over DPR Korea in Pyongyang. Ali Karimi had a brace. Good result, especially after getting robbed in Jordan.
