Time To Break The Man U Jinx

We have not beaten Man U for 7 successive games. That's a record that needs to be broken and rectified. Losing to Man U is indeed an extremely painful experience for all Red fans. With the current form and also coming off the back of 8 straight wins, the Red-men are certainly looking good to end that misery.

My feelings tell me that we will triumph. I dare say this on my blog. It's been a long while. With Man U having difficulty finding the back of the net in recent games (although I believe they will thrash Bolton tonight) and Liverpool firing on all cylinders, it's now or never.

8 points seperates us and them. That makes this Sunday's game so crucial. Win and the title race will be thrown wide open. Lose and it's pretty much back to securing fourth place for next season's champions league football. I am feeling confident becos' I feel that Man U will be inclined to attack since this is a home game and they must be confident of nicking another victory against the Reds. And that's when Torres will punish their back four. Looking at Man U, they have the Ronaldo-Rooney-Tevez combination to bring in the goals. Look at Liverpool. We have the Gerard-Torres-Babel-Benayoun-Mascherano combination to threaten as well. I hope that answers all your doubts. It's a must win game for the Reds. There's simply too much at stake. 3 points will ensure we open up the gap between us and Everton. 3 points will ensure we are back in title contention again.

Traditionally, Man U vs Liverpool encounters are mostly cagey affairs. It will not be different this time. I guess the game will be decided by a single goal. There is just too much at stake for both teams Having said that, if you are feeling doubtful, a draw is always a good buy, though I feel it will not be the case.

It's time to call on the spirits of Shankly and Paisely. Bring on Man United for we know no fear. We will march unto Old Trafford with our heads held up high. We will show these bastards what we can do. Come on you Reds!!!
