The formation you, lads, have put up in the Live Commentary System isn’t the right one. It’s more likely to be something like that.
———————Bouzanis———————
Darby——–San Jose———-Agger———Insua
———————Plessis———————-
————–Alonso———-Spearing————
Flynn—————————————Kewell
———————-Nemeth———————-
Yeah I know mate, the pitch image is a static 4-4-2 formation with the players being updated just before kick-off.
It’s just giving an indication of who’s playing where, it doesn’t represent the ‘actual’ formation being played as this can sometimes change more than once in a game.
Should’ve reminded everyone that this is an amateur production lol
REPORT SO FAR:
HALF-TIME REPORT:
Danial Agger has made a solid comeback from injury with several
good tackles and has read the game with comparitive ease.
Xabi Alonso slotted the penalty cooly home and has looked VERY
comfortable on the ball and is being allowed plenty of
posession in the middle of the park.
Plessis has done rather well also with some solid defensive
play and controlled passing.
Stephen Darby as ever has been solid and confident throughout
the match with some timely interceptions and well-timed
runs up-field.
Overall, a solid performance with the occasional sloppy
ball. We look as though we’re in control but United do look
a danger if we do not keep up the tempo as the action is moving
quite fast!
COME ON YOU REDS!
1st HALF:
—————————————————————
46′ - Referee blows for half-time.

area JUST before it fell nicely for Nemeth to fire home from
close range.
40′ - Another diagonal ball catches out our defence, but
Bouzanis was quick off his line to gather up the ball.
39′ - Both teams are either cancelling each other out or
advances end with a poor final ball.
34′ - Good defensive play from Alonso on the edge of the area
to prevent Wellback from pulling the trigger.
32′ - Nemeth turns well inside the penalty area but fires his
shot into Row Z.
30′ - Eagles onside but fires just wide from close-range but
had strayed offside prior to the move.
29′ - Alonso disposses in the middle of the field and advances
with the ball only to see his long effort fly over the United
crossbar - good effort from the Spaniard.

with Stephen Darby’s shot blocked, Liverpool corner.
27′ - Excellent diagonal searching ball from Pique see’s
Stephen Darby in trouble as he brings down the United
attacker on the edge of the box.
25′ - Chants of “You Fat Bastard” temporarily ring around the
ground aimed at Mr. Neville !!
23′ - Good closing down from United causes a few loose balls
from the Liverpool side, whilst Xabi Alonso looks as though
he’s out for a stroll in the park - very calm and collected.

Liverpool (about 65% - 35%), however United do look dangerous
