Liverpool Vs Man Utd Match Thread..

[cloggypop]

More like ambient dub than rock and roll today.

It was as exciting as Phil Collins

 

[DHSC]

Cue the press branding Mourinho a genius.

 

[Raz]

Well that was awesome

 

[gene hughes]

That was a shit game. Well done Mourinho.

 

[Markeh]

shite

2x great saves from De Gea

 

[Buddha]

Henderson for fuck sake Can is asking for it and you turn round and pass back

That was very frustrating

What the fucking hell was he doing? We aren't fucking Manure looking for a point, fucking go for the win.

Not the best game from us. In the end a draw is okay.
De Gea with the match winning save.

First clean sheet eh. Not much use bar 1 point today sadly.

 

[Mystic]

Herrera man of the match? Okay Gary.

 

[darkstarexodus]

I'll take it. Couldn't handle the loss. Clean sheet is nice

Match turned when Lallana came on.

 

[Buddha]

Why don't the press call Mourinho out on turning out that turgid shit with a 500m squad?

 

[gkmacca]

They haven't narrowed the gap on us, so there's no reason for them to regard this as some kind of great result.

 

[Raz]

I hate Karius.

Yep

 

[KopRed]

I'm still undecided on Karius. Well he's shit in the air but has he even made a save?

 

[Mystic]

It's disappointing not to win that game, but a draw isn't the end of the world, really disappointing not to make up ground on our rivals, but at least we're still only two points behind 1st.

 

[manwithnoname]

Draw isn't too bad, I suppose. Two good saves from De Gea. Herrera, Young and Valencia played the gameplan well.

We didn't play well enough really, although getting a clean sheet with fucking Hiklarius in goal is a result.

Think Lovren was probably our best player, Henderson and Mario also did pretty well

 

[Mystic]

It's Mourinho, he cares little about the result, just about getting one over us.

 

[Mystic]

Also, we're shockingly dependant on Lallana, he changed the game.

 

[Shay_K]

Our two centre half's look like a good partnership.

Because he drew everyone a picture before the game of what he was going to do, and he did it and it still worked. We played into their hands as we always do against his physical sides, by tossing the ball into the box for our 5 foot nothing attackers to get outjumped for. Same old, same old.

 

[Bradley]

Five Live getting stuck into United's negative approach, so not all media peddling this as a tactical master class or something.

And rightly so.
It's basically Pulis football plus 350 million.

That's a little harsh, we missed two of our most influential players, once Lallana came on who dominated that game, it was only world class keeping from De Gea that stopped the win. If Gini or Lallana started we'd have been much better, without them we lose our best pressers, and also two players who can receive the ball and move forward from midfield, something we so desperately lacked.

He didn't get one over on us, so too bad for him. Van Gaal won here with a worse side.

 

[manwithnoname]

It is amazing how our midfield struggled to turn when in possession quickly enough to avoid the challenge

Henderson and Can just can't do it, Gini and Lallana can, it was a big big reason why we struggled so much.

 

[manwithnoname]

United were better in the first half, then just shut up shop in the second.

They'll be happy with a point, but we didn't do enough to win it either

 

[gkmacca]

If we went to OT and played like that, Mourinho would sneer, and Sky's manc-loving pundits would be tut-tutting like hell.

 

[Raz]

Happy enough with that point considering. Next...
