Man Utd (H), 8pm, 17/10/16 - Montag Nacht Fußball

[The Golden Eel]

Despite how great United apparently are/have been, they haven't even had a chance... First 30 minutes was oure shite but we were the better side last 15, keep it going. Sturridge has been a waste of a shirt, I'd get him off at half time

[Iceman]

Wynaalldong and Nivea are a huge loss. If we had them we would be strolling this. 

[BCM]

Sturridge has been a waste of time tonight. The defenders are beating him to nearly every ball that comes long. If Lallana is fit enough for the bench he has to come on.

[Section_31]

Mourinho has form for building football's most expensive underdogs.

[Guest Pistonbroke]

Shite first half mourinio'splan working. How many fouls does that ibra cunt have to make until he gets booked.

 

As afr as the refs are concerned he's slipped into Rooney's boots on that score. 

[stringvest]

We are there for the taking.  The hope is that Mourinho realises this and then leaves some spaces for us to play in.

[G Richards]

Playing PC and RF in the same midfield hardly works, you need RF slightly ahead which means fucking off the static DS off. Get Lallana on at H/T and shove Bobby up top, his work rate of getting back when the opposition have the ball is missing as is Lallana's current form.

 

Yes, I'd go with this. Lallana for Sturridge, move Coutinho up higher and Firmino center forward. Sturridge not making a case for staying on, unfortunately. It's hard to read too much into it, as it was only a half of football, with both teams playing a cagey game, but Sturridge didn't make a case for himself. Nothing stuck to him and he offered nothing in behind. His touch seemed a bit off too.

[Nelly-Szoboszlai]

Sky are horrendous cunts.

 

You'd think United were about 4 up here, the way they're going on. United have had pot shots and whipped a few decent crosses in. They've defended well and made the game scrappy. But fuck all else.

 

Turn it in, ya bad gang of Teds.

[Ezekiel 25:17]

We started poorly but they had almost none of the ball in the last 15 minutes, couple of changes and we can still easy win this.

[stringvest]

I agree.

 

Still easily bullied and wasteful.  The running alongside is looking good though.

[3 Stacks]

Also, it's obvious our biggest problem isn't breaking down deep defences, it's playing out of the press when teams decide to come at us. United squeezed us in the first 30 and we didn't cope.

[magicrat]

I'm not too upset by that,  We haven't conceded and we will find more space in the second half, Judge them after 90 minutes, Naive to think we were going to blow them away in the first 45 

[Iceman]

See, this is what happens when you don't have those extra players. It's called strength in depth. 2 injuries and we are thrown off our rhythm. 

[Chairman Meow]

Mourinho has form for building football's most expensive underdogs.

 

It's a little known fact that his managerial hero is Dave Bassett. 

[Guest Pistonbroke]

Yes, I'd go with this. Lallana for Sturridge, move Coutinho up higher and Firmino center forward. Sturridge not making a case for staying on, unfortunately. It's hard to read too much into it, as it was only a half of football, with both teams playing a cagey game, but Sturridge didn't make a case for himself. Nothing stuck to him and he offered nothing in behind. His touch seemed a bit off too.

 

He's just happy to pick up his wages I'm afraid, no fucking heart. If he does score it still won't hide his overall commitment or performance. Hopefully he'll knock a few in when used though, some daft cunt might make an offer that Klopp is waiting for. 

[russ1979]

The sooner Mourinho disappears from the game, the better. Almost all the top teams are trying to play exciting and attacking football - except him.

How the PL consider Man United as their jewel in the crown is beyond me. They're becoming the turd in the pan.

[Josef Svejk]

Still easily bullied and wasteful.  The running alongside is looking good though.

 

Henderson's been poor. Can's been terrible. Coutinho's been the best of our midfield three without being good...

[aRdja]

Just did a quick check on who scored, Firmino has the worst passing percentage rate at 60%, no wonder our attack keeps breaking down. Klopp needs to make a change.

[KevieG]

I like Can but his speed of thought is catching him out.

 

All set up for a united set piece goal and them shutting up shop.

[magicrat]

Also, it's obvious our biggest problem isn't breaking down deep defences, it's playing out of the press when teams decide to come at us. United squeezed us in the first 30 and we didn't cope.

So did Swansea and we conceded so tonight is progress by that yardstick

[russ1979]

Liverpool 0 West Brom 0

[Iceman]

He's just happy to pick up his wages I'm afraid, no fucking heart. If he does score it still won't hide his overall commitment or performance. Hopefully he'll knock a few in when used though, some daft cunt might make an offer that Klopp is waiting for. 

 

Studge is a huge wazzock. Unless he scores in which case I love him. 

[Nelly-Szoboszlai]

First 5 minutes will tell us all we need to know.

 

If it's scrappy and shite again, this'll be 0-0 or 0-1.

 

Need to get at them.

[The Acolyte]

Any streams?

[Frankenhooker]

Yep, putting Firmino central.
