Echo: Reds can punish Man U

AUTHOR: JAN MOLBY

When Sunday's game kicks-off, Liverpool FC have to be confident.

All of a sudden now, you play Manchester United and know you are going to get chances.

There was a period not so long ago, when you faced them and knew it was going to be a really tough 90 minutes.

But now, you look at their central midfield and it's not great and they still don't have what I would call a top class right back.
In the past, when the team-sheets have come through and you've seen names such as Roy Keane or Paul Ince, you immediately felt you had your work cut out.

But the partnership of Tom Cleverly and Michael Carrick doesn't quite give you the same feeling.

And it didn't surprise me to hear that Galatasaray had a number of chances to score on Wednesday night in the Champions League tie at Old Trafford.

Every side that has played them so far has had chances.

United got out of jail down at St Mary's against a Southampton side who do not look a particularly great Premier League side yet.

So it gives me hope and if we can produce a similar type of performance to the one we delivered against Manchester City and Sunderland then it is very much game on.
