Reina and Kelly today were immense and Kuyt was hardworking as ever though he could improve in his passing. it's such a shame that Aurelio's free kick was saved. i think he slipped? i noticed a number of times our players slipped during the match. either the boots or the pitch needs fixing. delighted to see Agger back in the game, he's so classy and composed on the ball. not very disappointed with the result at all. i feel optimistic about the next game.

if they were facing each other then i would agree its a red

Exactly. It's all to do with the scenario and the context which the tackle was made. If it was so dangerous, then why isn't Carick in hospital right now. because the force which Gerrard flew in would have snapped him in half if there was intent.

ER Alonso didnt end up in hospital after De Jongs tackle on him in the World Cup Final but he still should have been sent off.

While In my eyes he might get away with it, in modern football he was always going to go.

Even Gerrard knew it, there was no argument from him

Torres never got involved in the match, he was very poor.

According to our man Chris Bevan at Old Trafford, Kenny Dalglish will hold a full press conference at 1500 GMT tomorrow at Anfield for his official unveiling as the club's new manager until the end of the season.

More from Chris Bevan at Old Trafford: "Kenny Dalglish, who only met his Liverpool squad at 1030 GMT this morning, on his return as Reds boss: "I was on a cruise ship heading for Bahrain and sat at the bar when I got a call from John W Henry saying he would like me to look after the team until the end of the season. I'm grateful to the people on the boat for letting me get off so I could get a plane back last night. Sir Alex Ferguson said 'welcome back' - and it is brilliant to be back in the job. It doesn't seem that long ago I was last in the dug-out and the reception I got off the fans was unbelievable - it crossed my mind to do a Jose Mourinho and sprint down the touchline to thank them but I never quite made it."
