Substitutes not used: Beasant (gk), Davis, Buari.Liverpool (4-1-2-1-2): Dudek 5; Finnan 5, Biscan 5 (Henchoz 5, 65), Hyypia 7, Traor?; Gerrard 8; Murphy 6, Kewell 5; Smicer 4; Heskey 5 (Le Tallec, 81), Owen 3 (Sinama-Pongolle 7, 75). Substitutes not used: Kirkland (gk), Hamann.Referee: R Styles (Waterlooville) 4.Booked: Fulham: Boa Morte Liverpool: Murphy. Sent-off: Boa Morte.Attendance: 17,682.Man of the match: Gerrard.. As Juventus, Internazionale and Manchester United have discovered, Real Madrid have a habit of getting their man, but G?rd Houllier yesterday professed himself unconcerned at rumours linking the Spanish champions with Michael Owen. This is the mark at which clubs start to fear a player will allow their contract to run down and, like Steve McManaman, leave for free. Unlike team-mates Steven Gerrard, Chris Kirkland and Danny Murphy, the 23-year-old has yet to suggest he will commit to a new deal.However, Houllier, speaking after Liverpool's 2-1 win at Fulham, said: "I'm sure we will find an agreement We want to keep him We love him in Liverpool and he is keen to stay. Real have not been in touch and if they were we would not even consider £52m There is no deadline for Michael to sign.

He will not be a Steve McManaman."The main words are 'trust' and 'care' I'm convinced he wants to stay Liverpool have looked after Michael from an early age. Players look at the club, its vision, environment, quality of facilities and staff. We'll find a solution."His Fulham counterpart, Chris Coleman, was more sanguine about rumours linking Louis Saha with Manchester United "We're Fulham. We're a good club but if Manchester United want to pay the money and take our players that will happen.

But Manchester United have not been in touch and Louis has indicated he wants to sign a new contract here.". Contrary to most observers, I believe Jeff Winter was absolutely correct to allow Danny Murphy's goal at Anfield against Leeds United last week. The Stockton-on-Tees referee overruled his assistant's upraised flag for offside against three Liverpool players as their team-mate's free-kick from wide on the left was fumbled into the net by the Leeds goalkeeper, Paul Robinson. When he first came into the game, maybe, but his manager Steve Bruce would no longer encourage it.In the past, when one noted manager said: "If you want entertainment you should go to the circus," a player could be adjudged offside merely by seeking to interfere with play or with an opponent, or seeking to gain an advantage.Now, the law is simpler - in theory at least, though I retain some reservations. According to the latest international board interpretation, an attacker is penalised only if he is involved in active play by interfering with play, for example playing a ball passed or touched by a team-mate; by interfering with an opponent, i.e. preventing an opponent from playing or being able to play the ball, for example by clearly obstructing the goalkeeper's line of vision or movements, i.e. making a gesture or movement while standing in the path of the ball to deceive or distract an opponent; gaining an advantage, i.e.
