What a great result and make me sing all the way to work the next day to meet all my Liverpool’s friend!..hahahaha

Liverpool did enjoy more possession but they did as little with it as Marseille achieved with the 64 per cent of the play they had in the Velodrome last Tuesday night. It is not how much time you have with the ball that matters, it is what you do with it. And too often, Liverpool’s passing was either inept or achingly obvious.

Last season’s win was fashioned by John O’Shea and perhaps Liverpool might have been forgiven for failing to pick the Irishman up. But to leave Wayne Rooney unmarked on the edge of their own area was to ignore a clear and present danger.

Jamie Carragher heard the alarm bells a fraction too late; Rooney’s shot blazed beneath his desperate lunge and beyond the tips of Jose Reina’s gloves. Carlos Tevez turned his body and sent the ball into the roof of the net beneath the Kop. It was United’s first and practically only significant shot on target.
