That was never a red card for god sake. In today's English football, it's like almost every such tackle results in sending-off, fuck it. In the past it was never that harsh. Evans went to the tackle even with two feet! Same old Man United.

That being said though, seeing Giggs making sliding tackles and perfectly timed ones is just brilliant. And Borini really is a shit winger.

That was never a red, in my opinion.

Seen that so many times -because a player goes in twice in quick succession the ref interprets the situation as a the player out of control . He actually gets something on the ball on the second

Don't think that was a red... I am all for preventing injury ending tackles but jonny evans came in with his foot fairly high... When you are in a race for the ball you have to go for it... Sort of starting to deter tackling... Just give him a yellow for the tackle and move on imo.... But hey ho... I want united to lose and i want liverpool to lose, so i guess i'll take a draw...

Not a red, as much as I dislike Livershit. About the game itself, Liverpool have utterly Dominated ManUre. I know Liverpool are very good at home in the big games, but even this is over the top domination. Either Liverpool have gotten very, very good (doubtful) or the more likely situation is that ManUre are being shown up for how overrated they are. Piss weak midfield and shaky Defense. If Manure are title contenders with that team, we sure as hell are. Although don't get me wrong. Livershit have been playing good football and have definitely improved. They seem to be lacking goals though.

does that surprise you?

Not really, two seasons ago he looked like he could be the next Ronaldo, he was unbelievable, last season he was just awful, he had one good game and that was against us... yep it would be. But ever since he hasn't really picked up at all.

United with their customary poor performance at Anfield. Liverpool dominant but haven't created anything clear cut & now down to 10 men.

I expect them to come out firing second half though with an extra man, and i am sure Alex furgeson will be screaming like mental at them... Hopefully its a draw or looserpool beat them can't see it happenning now though... Got this feeling united will win it... :(

I wouldn't have even whistled a foul, let alone giving a red card.

Exactly, both he and evans slid two-footed for the ball, and Shelvey was the one who actually got it. If the ref thinks their is reason to send off shelvey then there is reason to send off Evans as well!

I still don't think this is a red.

Actually, I can see why the Ref gave him a red. Lunged in and 'seemed' to be out of control. Harsh yes, but its a 50-50 call. I just hope Livershit do something productive for once and beat/draw with ManUre. Even with 10 men they have a good chance.
