United v Liverpool - match thread

[Soleilrouge 37]

This match is irrelevant

 

It will be like watching two fat oul ones fighting over a bag of chips

 

Best thing for the club would be a heavy defeat followed by Brendan's P45

[King Emlyn 1,273]

De gea to return an av a blinder

Nothing more certain

--------------------Mignolet--------------------

Clyne------Skrtel----------Sakho-----Moreno

---------------------Lucas----------------------

------------Milner------------Can---------------

---------------------Firmino---------------------

---------------------Lucas----------------------

------------Milner------------Can---------------

-----------Firmino----------Lallana-------------

--------------------Benteke---------------------

how in gods name can you as a so called supporter hope for a defeat... get lost ..in the mersey...

I think this will be a repeat of last season. United being completely shite but still managing to stick 3 or 4 past us. And this time we don't even have Sterling to cause them any problems like we did last season. And no Coutinho or Henderson. I really used to look forward to this fixture, we've had some epic wins and performances away to the mancs but this one I just want to get it over with and on to the next game.

Sad but true.

[MegadriveMan 814]

Strong rumours tonight that De Gea is going to sign a new 5 year contract for them cunts.

 

If that happens you just know he will have another stormer against us!

[Ne Moe Imya 3,247]

I wish we were good.

 

I really do.  It would be the perfect game to curb-stomp them.  They are struggling badly, after another summer of huge spending, and really aren't very good.  Rumours of mutiny, new players failing to bed in, etc.  If we went in there and beat them 0-2 or 0-3 the whole narrative of their season would change.  It would start to snowball in a big hurry and you could possibly see the dissent among their players become open and van Gaal getting his marching orders before the end of the season.

 

The problem is that though they're there for the taking, we're probably even poorer than they are, just like last season.  Instead of exploiting their current situation, we're going to be the perfect tonic for it - if/when they win, the media will seize upon de Gea as their saviour and it'll be seen as a "turnaround match" and the like.

 

It really is just such a crucial match.  Whoever wins has 10 points from 5 games, and starts to look good for fourth after a brief early wobble.  Whoever loses has 7 points from 5 games and is on a 2-game losing streak, and the media will be starting to talk about the manager coming under pressure.  It's just such a shame that we're much more likely to be in the latter position at the end of it than the former.

That'll be only to protect the sell on price for next summer when Madrid come knocking again.

Yeah, I think there is a definite buy out clause within it.

 

Typical that he will play tomorrow and will have a blinder (if we even manage to have any shots!)

[Bjornebye 25,735]

A year and a half ago we went there and bummed them 3 nil. Barely anyone remembers it because it was expected. We were that much better than them. Fuck sake.

[ZonkoVille77 5,541]

when we got bummed 3 nil by them last season we were marginally the better side that day too. The problem being that Sterling hits the ball like a fanny and they had Brad fuckin Jones doing his best to help them.

Yep. It was also 3 times he did it as well.

Ah Brad Jones, what another genius Rodgers decision that was - quite possibly the worst goalkeeper in Liverpool history. 

[Russ Atmosphere 6,341]

Thinking of Sterling, he'd have been great at providing crosses for Benteke. Do we have any wide options for getting crosses to him? Henderson drifting there when he's back, Clyne maybe? Ibe clearly isn't there yet.

[Russ Atmosphere 6,341]

Ah Brad Jones, what another genius Rodgers decision that was - quite possibly by a long chalk, the worst goalkeeper in Liverpool history.

[Hades 3,604]

How dare you suggest that Australia's 7th choice goalkeeper wasn't good enough for Liverpool FC.

[Dr. J 813]

The Brad Jones business was strange. Mignolet loses his spot, Jones steps in and not long into his first game walks off the pitch injured, no one from the medical staff went on, disappears and never plays again. Never saw a goalkeeper just walk off like that. Whole thing looked like a set-up.

[Boss 7,433]

 

Worst performance ever from a goalkeeper. Dives the wrong way for a shot from the 18 yard line, lets the ball bounce in the 6 yard box for the second, when nothing was stopping him coming out to collect it. His positioning for the third is the worst i've ever seen from a keeper, he's 6 yards off his goal line for no reason and he covers non of the goal.

 

If we had a world class keeper that game would of ended 0-0.

2nd goal wasn't his fault, but yea he was shit

That is a horror seeing that, mad all over again.

[El Rojo 8,829]

As bad as Jones was, pretty horrific defending from Moreno and Allen to let Valencia walk past them for the first.

 

Henderson doesn't cover himself in glory letting Young cross for the second either.

 

Goal number three. Lovren. Can't even be bothered typing more.

[mouse1989 396]

He dived the wrong way ffs.
