Gary Neville is happy with our performance yesterday against CSKA Moscow but is already looking forward to Anfield.
“I think we were a constant threat,” said Neville. “In the first half Fabio and Nani down the left were very difficult to play for them. And then in the second half Antonio started to get a lot of the ball and we were a constant threat behind them on the wings, and I think we had the better chances and most of the play as well. That’s two professional performances away from home. I think the Wolfsburg game at home was difficult but we are in a real good position now and we’ve just got to finish the job against Moscow in a couple of weeks’ time.”
I’ve just been waiting to get this CSKA game out of the way so we can focus on what really matters, our trip to Anfield! Seems as though our captain is looking forward to it too.
“Well it’s a great fixture always – a passionate fixture,” he added. “But a game that can always go either way and we just hope to be at the top of our game because you have to be in that one. The fact Liverpool lost and we won in Moscow will mean nothing come Sunday lunchtime. They’re at home in front of their fans. It’s always difficult at Anfield. We have to make sure we’re on top of our game. It’s far too early to talk about knocking Liverpool out of the title race, we’re only nine or ten games into the season. Any team in the top four is capable of winning six or seven games on the trot and getting back into it. We just need to think about our performance and what we do.”

Cant wait for Sunday.will be a cracker.Dont Underestimate the dippers,they can still beat us with or without gerrard and torres.a draw wont be too bad either
I would probably take the draw now, but you know it’s great to win this one. Remember that O’Shea last minute winner a couple of years back? It’s that feeling that I want Sunday evening.
Red Nev must be looking forward to the game and so am i hope we put them out of their misery although i think we should be well prepared and not be complacent. great game by fabio. guys who is better him or rafa defensive wise? sorry hey guys.
i want Wes back at RB for sunday. Wes is more suited to RB than Sheasy. looks like a race against time for Wazza to play.
I’m well ready for Sunday. Nothing I’d love more than to kick the Scousers while they’re down. Looking at their faces when they lost in the week was priceless!
I think there is one man in the world who loves united beating liverpool than anyone else
Wazza @ 13:25 – I always want Wesley Brown to play. Unfortunately, he’s rarely match-fit and game-ready. But he must be close to yet another comeback – I figured that SAF brought him on last night so as to determine just that.
With Wesley, RedNev, and the ManchesterTerrier (Owen Hargreaves to those who are unfamiliar with K-9s), there has been great news in terms of getting these guys back into game shape. I’ve been particularly impressed with RedNev’s return – he’s still a terrific attacking right back and his run down the flank when he one-two-ed with Valencia last weekend against Bolton was just inspirational. I’m really hoping that he gets another one of those FuckAll fines for “excessive celebrating” in front of the Kop on Sunday.
@GHTT : so true. it would be a dream for Gazza to score an injury time winner at the kop end. just imagine his celebrations after that !
I would love a neville celebration if we win on sunday.
