Lead

Route to the final

• It should be mentioned that Liverpool played at home in the first two matches.
  • done NapHit (talk) 14:42, 11 August 2015 (UTC)
• Link extra-time.
  • done NapHit (talk) 14:42, 11 August 2015 (UTC)
• "Diouf equalised in the 54th minute, but the score remained the same through full-time and extra-time to take the match to a penalty shootout." Are you sure? The infobox says the match was 2-2.
  • Yep it was 1–1, my mistake in the infobox. NapHit (talk) 14:42, 11 August 2015 (UTC)
• "They took the lead in the ninth minute when Diouf scored."
  • Not sure what the problem is with this sentence. NapHit (talk) 14:42, 11 August 2015 (UTC)
• "The match held at United's home ground Old Trafford was goalless until the 80th minute" I was wondering if a couple of commas should be here.
  • Yep added. NapHit (talk) 14:42, 11 August 2015 (UTC)

Match

• I was wondering if the referee should be mentioned in the background section as well.
  • There isn't a reference stating during was going to be the referee beforehand. NapHit (talk) 14:42, 11 August 2015 (UTC)
• Danny Murphy was already linked.
  • de linked. NapHit (talk) 14:42, 11 August 2015 (UTC)
• Link Cardiff.
  • As this is in a quote, I'm not going to. The MOS states we should not link in quotes. See here
• "but Mikael Silvestre and John O'Shea should be fit and I have a back four in my mind."" Link Silvestre and Shea if possible.
  • See above. NapHit (talk)
• And the Charity Shield should be linked as well. Yes, four times in a row now.
  • Above. NapHit (talk) 14:42, 11 August 2015 (UTC)
• Paul Scholes was already link and Silvestre should be unlinked.
  • done NapHit (talk) 14:42, 11 August 2015 (UTC)
• "in the 12 minute" Shouldn't it be 12th minute?
  • done NapHit (talk) 14:42, 11 August 2015 (UTC)
• "A free-kick by Beckham just before half-time was saved by Dudek, Liverpool counter-attacked through midfielder El Hadji Diouf down the right-hand side of the pitch." I think it should be similar to this: "After a free-kick by Beckham just before half-time was saved by Dudek, Liverpool counter-attacked through midfielder El Hadji Diouf down the right-hand side of the pitch."

• The report redirects to the Telegraph homepage.

Post-match

• Link man of the match again.
  • Quote, see above NapHit (talk) 14:42, 11 August 2015 (UTC)
• UEFA Champions League should be linked in Ferguson's statement. Also, unlink Ferguson himself.
  • quote see above NapHit (talk) 14:42, 11 August 2015 (UTC)
• Leeds and Arsenal should also be linked.
  • quote see above NapHit (talk) 14:42, 11 August 2015 (UTC)

References and External links

• Just used Checklinks, and found that only the external link is broken.

I have to admit, I think 75% of this review is just linking. Then again, this article is very well written. Placing on hold for now. Good888 (talk) 09:38, 11 August 2015 (UTC)
