  1. The number of times we’ve been there and you’d snap a hand off to be one up with 5 to plate and we’d defend like our lives depended on it - today they just wanted it more. we have to go into every single fucking game kicking and screaming and wanting it more than the opposition, or we don’t deserve to win fuck all
  2. What makes you thing it’s a trade off? See that out today and they come into it with a massive inferiority complex. Now they’ll be up for fucking us over
  3. The thing is, I don’t think we did try to close it out like that. We tried to close it out by keeping possession. Back then we did the dark arts well, getting into the corner with Milner etc. there was none of that on show today, just laboured and one-tempo passing that ultimately went nowhere. Darwin was left alone up front for large periods and had no choice to go for optimistic shots to the near post. 18-20 we’d have sat deep, brought on a centre back and grimly seen it out.
  4. Good point about Darwin - I’d been screaming for him to come off for ages - but the game too far analysis doesn’t work. While I agree we had players who couldn’t play 90, let alone 120 minutes, we had players available to come on. After it went 3-3 we shat it. We owed them through the 80’s and never gave them what they deserved. Our record at that ground is appalling. One thing that I’d be sure of - we won’t ease up in that game. I can’t remember being this fucked if with my own team for years. This is our biggest rivals rivals and we acted like fucking Disney princesses while they got their hands dirty.
  5. They were like us playing them 15 years ago. Massive occasion for them and they stood up while we bottled it or swanked about like we the globetrotters. There are squire a good few performances today but the whole thing looked like we didn’t give a shit
  6. Watched it with a united mate and u called it at 65 minutes. Arrogant is the word. Reminds me of us being 2 up at QPR in 2012 and playing tikka-taka and then getting done
  7. Arrogance - just unprofessional. Not like Klopp’s Liverpool at all. So fucking criminal. United deserved that.
  8. I always thought it was weird the way united let Stam go in his pomp and 3 months later he failed a drugs test. By contrast, we took a very firm line - arguably too firm - with Sakho.
