The ref wasn't to blame for the result - but I hate to see cowardly reffing.

He always chickens out of critical decisions.

Well,  maybe the manager should make an issue out of it, then. Instead of signing a new contract. 

That makes no sense at all.

Fuck it, might be refreshing to be out of a title race this early. Not nearly as much jeopardy in each game. I for one am embracing our new found mediocrity.

Haha good outlook.

That starting midfield though, belongs to a Hodgson team

A brexit midfield it was

If we dont get pace/energy in the midfield then we are in for a very long season you cant go in to any game with hendo/milner/elliot and expect to win

Elliot has some pace and moves the ball quickly. He can't do it all on his own, though.

[Dr Nowt]

Cunt start to the season.

[Colonel Bumcunt]

Can I say something?

 

That's so ruddy brave from United. 

[gkmacca]

On top of everything else, Sky may as well have been MUTV the way they covered that game. Atrocious bias from start to finish. They are obsessed with the mancs.

[Jhinge Machha]

trent and van dijk looked like they believe their own hype a little too much. what the fuck was van dijk doing for that goal, dear fucking christ

I think it does. He's probably the most desirable manager in world football apart from Guardiola. And he puts up with a situation where his bosses give him a relative pittance to spend.

[Babb'sBurstNad]

What I don't understand is when did Trent and Van Dijk decide that moving dead slow and hitting passes lazily was a good thing?

 

They look like kids trying to appear cool because they're not arsed. It's weird.

He gets pushed off the ball way to easily. He's a kid who needs to ease his way into a strong and settled side, not galvanise a team in disarray.

Still completely out of gas from last season.  And with injuries.

 

My thoughts too. Out of the senior players the only one who looks up to 'go again' is Diaz.

 

Casual half arsed performance.

[Anubis]

There’s clearly something wrong in Happyville, the way Milner and Van Dijk were going at it in each half.

[Rick Sanchez C-137]

Pretty disgusted at the complete lack of effort. We can have off days technically and try things that don't come off, but there no excuse for that lack of fight, with a weeks rest between games.

Ah, right. So he should have quit then, and you, I take it, would have cheered him for doing so. When there are two options, you want the third. Brilliant.

Both have been poor for some time 

[niallers]

Our prep was wrong. After last season, I think a gentler preseason and a more pragmatic approach was what was needed. Klopps last season in Germany has very similar vibe. A load of injuries and players who were exhausted from years of busting their bollix. The owners need to get their chequebook out too. We needed middle reinforcements before the injuries as theyre all injury prone. To have to go to old Trafford with an unfit hen, a 55 year old milner and a kid in elliot is a disgrace. Guardiola would never have been put in that position

No,  he should have demanded what he's worth. As Conte did at notoriously tight Spurs.

They were fine against City. Get some bodies back and buy a midfielder 

[gkmacca]

There's just a complete lack of imagination. For example, we have a throw-in coach, and the most improved thrower, apparently, is Gomez, and he has a long throw. So worth trying a long throw, you'd think, rather than Trent's over-hit crosses once in a while. But no. They just keep doing the same things that aren't working, like some bizarro version of City.

[Jennings]

It'll be interesting to see our players reaction in the next few games - to see whether Klopp tolerates this mediocrity. 

[etho]

Mad we've only got a few years left of Klopp, and there's a real danger we may waste one of them.

[torahboy]

I don't know how we can dominate a game like that and still look like shit. VAR, it now appears, is a part of the modern game that can be left to an official's discretion. When is offside not offside? When everybody's favourite illiiterate has just scored. Fuck it! Long way to go and a lot of improvement necessary.

 

Looks like the forum bitches are on heat again.

well at least i can avoid twitter/social media this week silver lining etc ffs
