I won’t be making any predictions ahead of the Man Ure game on Sunday. I’ve learned from experience that my predictions for these fixtures tend to be wide of the mark.
In 2001-02 and 2003-04, I feared we would be well-beaten but both times we won 1-0. Last season I thought we would be absolutely slaughtered – especially once the Scum took the lead – but we went on to win 4-1. In 2006-07, I was quietly confident but we put in one of the lamest performances from any Liverpool side at Old Trafford and allowed them to stroll to a 2-0 win.
As with Merseyside Derbies, anything is possible in these fixtures. All I can hope for is maximum effort from our players, fair treatment from the referee, and for a bit of good fortune on the day. I’d take a draw now if offered. I would even think long and hard about taking a 1-0 defeat. As long as we don’t get mauled, I can live with the outcome.
