United v Liverpool - match thread

[Jairzinho]

We didn't play very well today, in my opinion.

Hysterical bein sports generation fans like you make me sick.

[the chimp]

It's the fans at the game today that i feel most sorry for. I know what it's like being in that shithole watching an inept team surrendering to the mancs.

 

Amen to that Byrnie. It was bad enough watching it on the telly. The poor fans who forked out to watch the utter shite served up yet again are the ones I feel truly sorry for.

[Ne Moe Imya]

Worst part for me is that I really don't care.

 

I want to feel bad when we lose, and be lifted up when we win.  It's part of the sport, part of being a fan.  There are times when watching Liverpool play (and lose) against a Chelsea or a Man United is just a reminder of how everything about life is wrong sometimes, how the evil prosper and the just suffer.  And normally I'm all about that, at least it's better than going through life numb and resigned to it all.

 

But at the depths of the Hodgson era it was like this, I didn't expect us to win and I really didn't care much when we didn't.  And here we are, 5 years later, repeating it all again.  

 

Bring back football.  I miss it.

[Section_31]

Does anyone actually read or listen to his comments these days? He's a football soul stealer. 

[The Maca]

I'm new and don't know how to work the internet but the above response was to funneeeee

[waddy78]

I wonder how J.W. Henry is feeling tonight.

[Marko121]

"Initiate a game" ?

 

What the fuck is he on about ?

[milky]

Jus scan read that rodgwrs response and I just want to break his fucking jaw.

 

Fuck off you stupid cunt.

 

You should start a thread in which, it is a thread in which to slag Rogers in. 

 

It could even become a favourite.

[Ne Moe Imya]

Rodgers' hubris will rightly cost him his job as he is hell bent on proving his judgment is sound; it isn't. 

 

This right here is the worst part about Brendan Rodgers.  He's actually a competent coach, in my opinion, when he can check his ego at the door and just focus on making the players better.

 

His problem is that he wants to be Alex Ferguson, a larger-than-life figure who dominates the club (and in fact the league) with his ability to manage every facet of a club from scouting to recruitment to coaching to in-game management.  But he hasn't the talent to do it, and instead of recognising that he's limited in some areas and finding and trusting talented people to handle them instead, he doubles down to prove his poor judgement correct.  Which leads to bizarre situations like freezing out Sakho to play Lovren and the like, all because he was the one leading the charge to bring them in.

 

Hubris, as you say.  I'll be genuinely surprised if he's here at Christmas at this point.

[Mr T]

I wonder how J.W. Henry is feeling tonight.

 

I'd imagine he couldn't give a fuck.

 

Everything is going nicely to plan. 

[smilezzz]

So I put on Game of Thrones in the hopes of catching some tits and nips, and there's two blokes kissing.

 

Sums up my evening.

 

Metal Gear Phantom Pain it is.

[Zak D'Indermorden]

I wonder how J.W. Henry is feeling tonight.

 

Ask Werner

 

"In Brendan we have acquired a very exciting and talented and young manager. He's a forward-thinking coach at the forefront of a generation of young managers and will bring to Liverpool attacking, relentless football."

[JoeyJones65]

He started with 1 up front

Then went to 2 up front 

Then went back to 1 up front

 

Fuckin why??

Because he doesnt have a clue what he is doing?

[derykw]

Utter fucking wank.

 

I'm really beginning to feel pure hatred and contempt for Rodgers now. How on Earth has he managed to spend so much money just to get it so badly wrong?

 

Why can't he see that 433 just doesn't work for us? Why can't he see that we lack pace, strength and athleticism in the middle of the park? Why does he insist on playing strikers out of position?

 

Why and how the fuck has he sucked all belief and hope out me who was a big Rodgers fan?

 

Man utd are absolutely bang average just as they were last season but yet again we somehow manage to contrive to find a way to lose comfortably.

 

We are so easy to beat these days and the regularity we concede three or more goals in a game is beyond a disgrace. We are toothless and spineless in equal measure.

 

Fuck knows where we go from here.

[TheHowieLama]

Has anyone said facking yet?

[Mathewbet1]

Ings was playing left back at times today

[TheHowieLama]

Like a new wing back

[TheHowieLama]

An Ing back

[waddy78]

Remember those good old days of attacking, relentless football. where did they go??

 

now its defenceless clueless nothing like football. 

[Adebisi]

I'm not getting too worried because it's obvious the owners and match going fans won't tolerate more of this for much longer and we've actually got the makings of a good squad, with plenty of young talented players to get excited about and providing the owners appoint the right man, we'll be alright.

It's frustrating obviously, but I don't see the season as a complete write off. Even if the owners didn't get rid until Christmas, I still think that's enough time to save the season. My biggest worry is if the owners will go for a top manager or we'll go for Monk or some shit.

[Alan Sex]

Shit sandwich.

[JoeyJones65]

We lost 3-1 to those cunts at that vermin shithole. And I dont feel angry...

 

I feel a resigned sense of apathy.

 

The last time I felt this way was when we were sinking like a stone under Hodgson.

 

This is Rodgers' fourth season and where are we at? Defensively we are as shit as ever, we have no leaders on the pitch, and an attack which scores just 3 goals in 5 games (2 worldies and an offside) says it all. Not that any of this stops Rodgers talking out of his arse after the match.

 

Until the charlatan is out of our club, we will be treading water at best.

I have no faith in the owners to appoint the right man

[therevivalist]

i didn't expect any better from a Rodgers team. Can we just get rid of this conman now!?

[magicrat]

I have no faith in the owners to appoint the right man

I have no faith in them sacking the wrong man
