Bellamy was not onside for the goal - When the pass was made, he was. Then Sissoko deflected it (otherwise it would have been cleared by a United player), at which point Bellamy was offside.
Also, there was a penalty we should have got but didn't.
Also, although you were definitely the better team in the second half (even between the two in the first), you paid the price for constantly holding onto the arms of our players. I've never seen it done so much in a single game in my life. On so many occasions there were Liverpool players blatantly wrapping their arms around our players' arms, often with our players (eg. Carrick) getting fouled for it (God knows how). Scholes was sent off for eventually reacting to it, but it was yourselves that eventually paid the price when, finally, the ref caught you out and we got a goal for it from the free kick. If it wasn't for the consistency of your fouls (even if you weren't always caught and called out on them), I would say it was injustice that you lost. But you did, and you lost, and I say that's justice.
We would have played a lot better if you weren't wrapping yourselves around our players.
