"Taylor, what do you think?" Lineker is in a good mood, and since he beat Andy Gray last time, the leadership of Sky Sports has finally changed his partner.

Martin Taylor is another Sky Sports ace commentator, and Lineker clearly has a better rapport with him.

'I think Liverpool are in desperate need of a win, one win and three draws have put a lot of pressure on Benitez, if he hadn't won the Champions League last season, he would have been out of class a long time ago, he has never lacked controversy.

"Ferguson's team is going well, except for the Champions League drawn by Villarreal, they have not even met a real strong team in the league, so it can be said that the arrival of Liverpool is just the right time to test their real strength."

"Liverpool are more inconsistent than Manchester United."

"I'm looking for a draw in this game."

"Well, I also think there's a good chance of a draw."

"Let's take a look at the starting lineup."

"Manchester United, 19 - Van der Sar; 22-O'Shea, 15-Vidic, 5-Ferdinand, 23-Richardson; 14-Park Ji-sung, 16-Roy. Keane, 18-Scholes; 7-C. Ronaldo, 10-Rooney, 9-Dong Fangzhuo. ”

"Liverpool line-up: 25 - Reina; 3-Finnan, 4-Hyypia, 23-Carragher, 28-Volnock; 10- Louis. Garcia, 14-Alonso, 8-Gerrard, 6-Riese; 15 - Crouch, 24 - Pongler. ”

"Manchester United started Park and put Ryan Giggs on the bench, which shows that they have full trust in Park. Ryan Giggs has been in some mood lately, he always complains in front of the media that his playing time is decreasing, but he has to understand that he is already a veteran in his thirties and is no longer young. ”

"Liverpool's start to Crouch shows that they are going to play the tactics of flying on the wing, Crouch's height will be the biggest threat, and the long-range shots of Liverpool's midfielders will also be a big threat."

'Both captains Steven Gerrard and Roy Keane are back in the starting line-up. For Liverpool, Reese, Finnan and Vornock all returned to the starting XI after being left out in midweek; For Manchester United, Roy Keane, who has recovered from a thigh muscle injury, replaced Fletcher, Heinze will be sidelined for a long time with a torn cruciate ligament in his knee, and teenager Richardson fills the Argentine's void and gets his first start. Liverpool had failed to win against Manchester United at Anfield in the previous three seasons, having lost at home last time. ”

"China has scored in four consecutive games, if he scores again in this game, it will be his five consecutive goals, which is a great record, before the game everyone was arguing whether Rooney is the best rookie this year, among them, the biggest topic is that Ronaldo and China Dong should actually win the best rookie award, but in the end it should be Rooney who wins. Which of the three of them will score today? Let's wait and see. ”

As soon as the game began, the two sides entered the attack. The game of the Double Red Society is never conservative, because you will only be happy if you kill the other party.

Anfield's KOP fans were so excited that they chanted from the first moment of the game, not letting the United fans make a noise at all.

In the 3rd minute, Luis Garcia passed through the middle, Gerrard successfully countered offside under the cover of Crouch, and Van der Sar made a timely attack to clear the ball with a header before Gerrard.

"Steve!"

"Oh, no!"

"The Liverpool captain almost scored!" Martin Taylor screamed with passion, he was a passionate commentator.

'Gary, sometimes I even think Gerrard is the striker for Liverpool?'

"Haha, there is some truth in what you said, this Liverpool team has to rely on Gerrard to solve problems a lot of times, we can often see Gerrard scoring goals alone, in fact, this is also the crux of the problem, a team's strikers can't score, but have to rely on midfielders to plug in to solve the problem, which is really sad, which is why Liverpool has won so many draws since the start of the season." Lineker nodded in agreement.

Liverpool had a slight edge on the pitch and looked like they were looking to open the opening blitzkrieg and try to force United to make mistakes and score with a full-time press.

However, United were clearly prepared, and after Steven Gerrard was given that chance, they quickly tightened their direction and left no more of the Liverpool man behind.

In the 8th minute, Park Ji-sung fouled Reese, and Gerrard's free kick from the left flank was hoisted into the far corner, and the ball grazed the far corner post and went slightly wide.

"Steve's luck was a bit bad today, if the ball had gone in a little bit of the goal......

'Keane and Ryan Giggs should try to control the midfield and now they're too passive.

Liverpool played too hard, Keane and Giggs couldn't control the midfield, and there was a bit of disconnect between the front and back, and Dong Fangzhuo was closely followed by Hyypia and Carragher, and there was no chance for the time being.

Cristiano Ronaldo and Wayne Rooney are busy fighting fires and have they not been given the opportunity to counter-attack with the ball.

However, in the 11th minute, Rooney took the ball on the left and cut inside, facing Liverpool's right-back Finnan to force an acceleration, and Finland had to pull him down.

Cristiano Ronaldo began his free-kick performance in front of the ball, which went straight at goal from 28 yards on the left.

Call!

A beautiful elevator arc out of the ball went straight to the bottom right corner of the goal, and it was just a little bit short of the ball sliding out of the post.

'Cristiano Ronaldo's free-kicks are getting better and better, it's definitely not a blind shot, he's definitely been working on his free-kick skills lately. This kind of elevator ball is not easy to play, and it requires a good grasp of footwork, and at the moment, AC Milan's Andrea Pirlo is the best at this kind of play. ”

After the shot, Ronaldo shook his head, obviously very dissatisfied with his shot.

But that didn't dampen his confidence, and soon he broke through Reese's interception for the first time on the right before cutting inside in front of Liverpool's box.

Dong Fangzhuo came to answer, Ronaldo and he in front of the penalty area two and one, Hyypia had to separate from Dong Fangzhuo, and then he knocked down Ronaldo.

But referee Sdales refused to give a penalty.

Ronaldo and Dong Fangzhuo raised their hands to protest to the referee at the same time, but that's all.

The two men behaved very restrainedly, and it was different if it was Rooney.

"In fact, the referee is right at this time, Ronaldo has obvious suspicion of diving, which cannot be blamed on the referee, the three players in Manchester United's front court sometimes have too many performance components."

'United are now gradually pulling back from their inferiority, with the two sides battling fiercely in midfield and Liverpool frequently using two wide flanks to cross.

With Crouch's height dominant, Liverpool rarely pass the ball at their feet in attack. However, because Manchester United have Nemanja Vidic and Rio Ferdinand in the backline, the high ball does not pose a threat to Manchester United's penalty area for the time being.

Manchester United, on the other hand, were unable to dominate the midfield contest, and United also played long balls, but the attacking efficiency was noticeably inefficient. Dong Fangzhuo is worse than Crouch, except for the occasional return to pick up passes from Ronaldo and Rooney, he rarely gets the ball.

In the 17th minute, Paul Scholes was booked for a foul on Alonso. Alonso's aggressive forward movement put Skox under pressure and he had to focus more on defence.

But Scholes is an attacking player, not a defensive specialist. In the 18th minute, Scholes was still teased by Alonso, Alonso lightly picked up with his left foot, the ball flew over Scholes's head, and he turned and burst into the left side of the penalty area, and his left foot immediately followed the shot!

Van der Sar fell to the ground, but the ball went wide.

"Oh, Liverpool's midfield is so fierce, if Alonso's goal is scored, he can compete for the best of the season."

'Keane is old, he can't protect the line from behind, he can't rely on Scholes.'

Van der Sar sent the ball out to Dong Fangzhuo. In the fourth meeting, Carragher and Hyypia obviously knew Dong Fangzhuo very well. Hyypia was close to Dong Fangzhuo, and Carragher rushed in front of Dong Fangzhuo and pushed the ball out first.

Of course, Nemanja Vidic and Rio Ferdinand did the same against Crouch, who, despite having air superiority, was also unable to get the ball.

The rest of the game focused on the midfield but were unable to create a shot in front of goal.

In the 35th minute, Rio Ferdinand fouled Crouch in front of the penalty area, Ferdinand also tugged at the latter's shirt to express his dissatisfaction, and Alonso's free-kick from 25 yards down the middle went straight over the crossbar.

Then Manchester United played a quick counter-attack, Ronaldo and Rooney combined and passed directly to Dong Fangzhuo in the penalty area, and Carragher made another key clearance.

But the ball was stopped by Kean, and Keane passed directly to Dong Fangzhuo again, this time by Hyypia.

"Today's Dong is going to wilt, he has no chance to shoot with the ball at all!"

"Manchester United's strikers need to show their original form." Martin Taylor exclaimed.

"It's not that Dong is bad, but once his technical characteristics are familiar to old opponents, it is difficult for him to get opportunities, unless he pulls out of the big penalty area, but Ferguson's tactics today are obviously to let Dong contain the opposing central defender in the penalty area, and let Rooney and Ronaldo create opportunities."

"Ouch?"

"Park on the left has broken the ball!"

'He quickly gave the ball to Wayne Rooney.'

"Rooney transferred to Ronaldo in a big way."

"Dong ran out and woke up at one o'clock?"

"Hyypia had to keep an eye on Rooney."

Cristiano Ronaldo dropped Liverpool's left-back in seconds!

Cross!

Rooney rushed to the front with Hyypia, and Dong Fangzhuo and Carragher fought and jumped in the middle!

Although Carragher's body is stronger, he jumps higher than Carragher, Carragher alone can't prevent Dong Fangzhuo at all, even physically, he doesn't make any gains.

Dong Fangzhuo is not afraid of going head-to-head with Carragher.

From the moment he jumped, Carragher's eyes were full of panic, because he didn't resist Dong Fangzhuo at all.

Knock –

“goooooooooooooal！”

"Don't be left alone!"

"To deal with China Dong, never be alone!"
