Saturday, 10th March - Man Utd vs Liverpool. Battle for second place gets serious.

[dockers_strike]

Mate I think a big reason why they've been so poor is because they couldn't give a shit about most league games.  We're not one of the 'most'.

 

I think you mean they look like they want it more. The accuracy of our passing has been very very poor. What has Can done in midfield. Nothing. Milner is too slow to run on to any ball played into space which United have closed down well. Do not know why Chamberlain is being made a scapegoat when everything is breaking down when the ball is given to Mane. He looks like he is out for an afternoon stroll. Mo has been marked out the game. Bobby is trying hard but not getting his range. Second half is going to be very hard because they will sit back invite us on to them and hit us on the break.

[Moo]

He's not . TAA has made him look good

Rushford is excellent, potentially brilliant, despite Mourinho doing his best to ruin him.

[KopOut]

I'm not sure our midfield was struggling for the last 15 minutes. We were on top, our forwards are not on their game yet.

Agreed

[Bobby Hundreds]

Shite. Second half will be just as shite.

[J-V]

Lovren's an absolute cunt.  If anyone has been fooled recently here you have it.  Get fucking rid.

[suzy]

Firmino and maybe Robertson only ones coming out of this with any sort of credit. 

 

Fuck Lovren and Chamberlain off.

 

Yes I thought Bobby has worked hard when he's got the ball

[diamondjoe]

That's 2 so far, 3 against arsenal, 4 at spuds and 5 at city. I see a pattern emerging here.

[waddy78]

1 goal will make them even twitchier than they already are at the back.

Not over yet.

 

I don't think it will mate, if we get 1 back Mourino will just drop them back further we will then go for them (as we should) they will continue to hit us on the break because we are piss poor at the back again.

[magicrat]

Shite. Second half will be just as shite.

 

Could be worse. 

[KopOut]

WE WILL SCORE. Not sure we’ll get a result though.

[aRdja]

Fuck off, you tiresome bellend.

That’s uncalled for.

[DJLJ]

Had a chance at a ticket. I couldn`t afford to go. Need to replace a couple of windows on the house. For the first time I`m happy spendind money on maintanence ever.

Belongs in the getting older thread.

[Nelly-Szoboszlai]

I'd bring Solanke on.

 

We're getting up the pitch. But their defensive 6 are then snuffing us out of the game. We then just go to the overlapping full back to whip in a cross and United's centre backs will win most of them in the air.

 

We need a bit of physicality up against their back line. The front 3, who've all been fairly poor so far, are getting the ball in relatively harmless areas and have barely threatened in behind.

 

Might be worth trying something different.

From BBC

 

HALF-TIME

 

Man Utd 2-0 Liverpool

 

 

 

 

Huge ovation for the half-time whistle as a Jose Mourinho masterclass puts the hosts in complete control. They barely entered the Liverpool half before they scored twice with route one goals and now they look serene

 

 

CUNTS

They’ve executed his game plan perfectly, crude as it is.

 

We’ve been awful.

[Grinch]

No way should Lovren be coming out for the 2nd half

[The Guest]

Have you watched Solanke play football? Are you absolutely mental?

[waddy78]

There is an American fella in the studio on NBCsn halftime show alongside Robbie Earle he baisically said if you squint it looks like Liverpool are playing against Robbies Wimbledon long balls and flickons. he also said he thought Liverpool will still get something from the game I haven't got a clue who he is but I like him.

Personally I don't think Solanke would get a look in

We have our best goalscorers on the pitch already

[J-V]

I'd bring Solanke on.

 

Leave off

[Jairzinho]

Lovren needs to be filed away in the Mignolet "absolutely no fucking need to see them play for us again, and get them fucked off in the summer" cupboard.

[Captain Turdseye]

I’ve got a headache.

[The Guest]

I think Klopp’s been a bit naive with Trent. It should have been Gomez playing but you can’t take him out now.

[Nelly-Szoboszlai]

Who've done next to nothing and don't seem to deal with United's physicality.

 

Same as for 20 mins, then see what's what.

[Aventus]

Shite all round.

 

Defence getting bullied.

 

Midfield getting bypassed completely by balls over their heads.

 

Attackers throwing blind balls into the box and hoping by some miracle it lands to the one Liverpool player surrounded by 7 United players.

Its full mate, we are currently looking in ikea for a bigger cupboard.
