Match Day Thread Manchester United V Liverpool

The blatant homer ref

Not that this is an excuse for how ****e we know our defence is lol

 

only 1 of the back 4 that can hold his head up is Robertson though tbf ManU have hardly bothered attacking that side.

 

lol, dopey as usual.

AA has to EXPECT lovren to lose that header, and even then, his man was not through, AA should have on both cases showed him outside, he didnt, for the second he was completely oblivious to Rashford

 

I'm eating Death Caps....sure you want some

 

Exactly

 

Rashford knew he could foul whenever he wanted after the ref refused to issue the automatic yellow for going into the crowd

 

AA, a good prospect, but today he's played like an amateur.

The fact the rest of the team are NOT playing well at all, is another matter.

 

And kicking the ball away

 

temping atm

 

Absolutely abysmal from us.

 

M

Mweh he's done the damage already...too late to send him off and quite frankly if they went down to 10 men we'd have even less chance to score lol.... they'd be lined up in their box

 

I'd take AA off now, he's shot for this game, any time he's left with Rashford he's gonna panic

 

Goal 1 - Lovren makes zero effort to get back after kowtowing to Lukaku and TAA loses Rashford completely ... both inexcusable

Goal 2 - Lovren happily becomes Lukaku's sub again in his gimp outfit and then doesn't get back again, not much TAA or anyone can do about the rest after that so that's all on Mr Softee the Croatian ice-cream man

 

I am watching the half time analysis thinking where is Pogba when we need him

 

I'd def bring Salah and Mane on at half time

 

All that is true - TAA is just not a full back. But Lovren has been butt-****ed, no mistake. truth is, VVD won all his early headers against Lukaku - since when they've targeted lovren. Been a tactical masterclass again from Mongo, I'm afraid. I thought United would use their full backs against TAA, and said so last night. I didn't think rashford would play , and he probably wouldn't have until Pogba got injured. same thing though - if I had United's players (and they are good), I'd target Lovren and TAA too. TAA's future is in midfield, and he'll be good: the lad strikes a ball beautifully and his crosses are exquisite. Lovren's future is to follow Skrtel, if I had my way.

 

With goal 1 you either want one or the other. If the gameplan is to let lukaku win headers but contest the 2nd ball then we need to do a much better job of competing

 

Mata hasn't even got his usual goal yet, we're ****ed.

 

We’ve been really disappointing. Pretty passing in front of them but no real penetration. The defensive hesitation from Lovren doesn’t help. He’s being bullied by Lukaku.

I think that the first goal although well struck would have been saved by the opposite goal keeper.

We’ve got to do better in the second half. We score early they could get nervous.
