United v Liverpool - match thread

[Ne Moe Imya]

Two teams playing football at a mid-table level struggling to put anything together.

 

It's going to be a joy to watch.

 

Rooney to miss an open goal after Lovren passes it straight to him under no pressure at all.  United to eventually win 1-0 on a corner kick going in off Fellaini's arse, but by that time everyone has gouged their eyes out and no one is watching.  The only ones genuinely happy after the match will be the Everton fans.

[Hades]

No Coutinho, and Rooney is guaranteed to break his duck against us.

 

If I were Brendan I'd go all out and play Benteke, Ings and Origi. Really test them on the counter.

[Paco]

Benteke taken off at half time for Belgium. Lovren dropped by Croatia. Hardly gonna help his confidence.

[Oh Buoy]

We'll win this 3-1.

Has Funnneeeee hacked your account?

 

I'm volunteering at a homeless shelter on Saturday night so won't get to watch this. I'm presuming they don't have Sky.

[xerxes]

We have a good group of players who showed that they could respond to the big game atmosphere at the Emirates. The Mancs are not at their best, I expect a draw and a magnificent Big Ben screamer.

I sometimes wish I had the blind faith in the team I once did. It briefly returned when Suarez was flying but these days I'm pleasantly surprised when we win and shocked if we play well and win.

[Babb'sBurstNad]

If we win, the result will be the only thing that counts; if we lose, then the performance is likewise.

 

1-0 to them, via an offside shinned goal from England's potato faced messiah. We'll feel aggrieved, until someone points out we didn't have any shots on target.

[VladimirIlyich]

Our sights are set so low that I expect us to get something out of it and Brendan to speak and say 'we are 100 games from greatness' or some other such nonsense after an insipid 0 0 draw.

[Bjornebye]

They are certainly there for the taking. But then again, so are we, probably more so. Very worried. 

[Mr T]

They are less shit than us and their defence does look solid even if they are currently struggling to score.

 

Our defensive stability on the other hand is a mirage, it always will be with Rodgers at the helm. Meanwhile without Luis Suarez we are shit at scoring goals.

 

1-0 to them. Lovren looses his man on a corner.

[mgw100]

Is Henderson likely to be fit?

[General Dryness]

Has anybody pointed out that they're there for the taking, but unfortunately so are we yet?

 

I was hoping to be first with that insight.

We might get a result.

[Jairzinho]

The third most expensive squad in the world v the seventh most expensive squad in the world.

 

Both absolutely fucking shite.

[magicrat]

Like Rodgers is going to see another 100 games as our manager.

If he fucked off now it might get down to 50

[Section_31]

The third most expensive squad in the world v the seventh most expensive squad in the world.

 

Both absolutely fucking shite.

 

To be fair they bought players who sounded good but turned out shite. We signed players who sounded shite and were shite. I don't know which is worse though. 

[El Rojo]

Hope we lose so we get Klopp in next week and I can get going on a fresh campaign of hate against a new manager.

 

It would look to be a good time to be playing them, hence we'll lose 3-0 with Milner getting a straight red in the second half.

[milky]

No Coutinho, and Rooney is guaranteed to break his duck against us.

 

 

I know we have all erased last season form our memories, mate, but come on. Use each and every available stick to hammer Rodgers with. 

 

There simply is no such thing as too many.

[Jairzinho]

To be fair they bought players who sounded good but turned out shite. We signed players who sounded shite and were shite. I don't know which is worse though. 

 

They just did a slightly more upmarket version of what we did. Bought loads of players and didn't bother to consider the balance of the squad. They've got more goalkeepers than forwards.

[milky]

I love how that Damien lad who they bought for the ever decreasing sum of £3.2m, playing well in training for France is suddenly back page news. Just like it would be for every other team.

 

The plucky, tight-fisted underdogs that they are.

[Russ Atmosphere]

Reminds me, anyone see the Guardian headline the other day about Martial's inconsequential appearance as a late sub for France in a friendly?

[whtwht]

Lovren and fellaini sent off. Score draw.

[Grinch]

Lovren and fellaini sent off.

I hope that happens, we'd be significantly better off and them also down to ten.
