Manchester United v Liverpool Match Thread

[Shadey]

This is poor from us let’s take this game to Utd.

 

[FoxForceFive]

We've definitely improved the last ten minutes, but we're a bit one dimensional & predictable.

I expected us to be missing sharpness cos of the international break, but we need to find some more energy & pace in the final third.

 

[manwithnoname]

Wow, what a massive surprise this hasn't been so far

 

[FoxForceFive]

Shouldn't let Rashford make that run. Poor.

 

[Mystic]

This ref is giving United everything, and us nothing.

 

[FreshRed]

Missing Salah. Wijnaldum has been quality.

A little, but not much. With back 5, he would struggle for space too. And, Mane and Origi track back better.

 

[dmishra]

Yeah, Atkinson is a massive fucking cunt. No surprises there.

 

[HC]

Gini is boss . We're not hitting any sort of rhythm yet

Sloppy

 

[Squiggles]

United are set up very well and playing much better. We've been alright, but our attack isn't working because Firmino has mostly been shite.

 

[FoxForceFive]

A little, but not much. With back 5, he would struggle for space too. And, Mane and Origi track back better.

We're missing him a lot when we're in the final third, there's nowhere near as much movement & their defenders aren't having to shift about & in doing so create space for others.

 

[keniget]

We look ropey as fuck.

 

[Shay_K]

On the plus side Alisson is back to his usual self.

 

[Shay_K]

On the plus side Alisson is back to his usual self.

..and so is Fred

 

[dmishra]

Origi has been poor.

 

[gene hughes]

We are being outfought and I hate that.

 

[FoxForceFive]

If mane is where Origi was then he'd have been on the end of that Firmino flick.

 

[HC]

If mane is where Origi was then he'd have been on the end of that Firmino flick.

Yep

 

[Mystic]

He's giving United absolutely fucking everything.

 

[Dreambeliever]

We lack any ability to build through the middle.

Utd looking for likely at the moment.

Firmino has been rubbish.

 

[HC]

Heard someone describe origi as explosive earlier

A similar sort of explosive as my arse hole the morning after a curry and beer filled night

 

[Markeh]

Forgot Ashley Young is a cunt

 

[manwithnoname]

We're obviously missing Salah, but this display so far is not anywhere near good enough, and it can't all be because Origi is average.

Henderson and Fabinho haven't done enough, and United have starved the fullbacks of time and space. Firmino has also been dog shit so far

Awful

 

[dmishra]

I much prefer Mane on the left. Wish Shaq had been fit.

 

[hmmmmm1]

Frim needs to hold the ball up better. Some silly flicks that haven’t really come off

 

[FoxForceFive]

We are being outfought and I hate that.

Not sure how long they can do this for though, & they're leaving quite a bit f space for us at times too.

This is more or less what I expected, unfortunately.

 

[Mystic]

Heard someone describe origi as explosive earlier

About as explosive as my arse hole the morning after a curry and beer filled night

Thats fairly explosive.

 

[gene hughes]

Firmino is doing a great job of controlling difficult balls and laying them off with one touch to Man Utd players.

 

[Shadey]

Have we even had a free kick yet.

 

[Mystic]

ABSOLUTELY FUCKING EVERYTHING.

 

[darkstarexodus]

Not keen on our attacking options off the bench. We don't look too uncomfortable but we're not exactly pressuring them hard either.
