Should ban Tyler for that " is it in the script, is it written in the stars" bs..
Well, obviously hence "Suarez type".
Firmino is a Suarez type broadly speaking and yeah when the stars align we look great (though I still felt during that period that there was another level we had yet to reach).
It's like a couple of summers ago it seemed to pretty much be a case of "Sanchez or bust". Are we still in a position of having to find that very rare kind of player or are we able to adjust?
Klopp did to an extent by buying in the pace and goal scoring talent of Mane, which gave us a much needed extra dimension albeit on the wing rather than up front.
Come the summer he will need to do more of the same particularly with the Sturridge and Origi questions looming large.
It's interesting to look at the top teams and top strikers, and what their attributes are, or how the team is built around them
One common attribute seems to be workrate
Someone should start one.
I hope he gets the record in some low-profile game nobody is watching or cares about
Sky seemed desperate for it to happen in that game, understandably, but the pre-match media coverage seemed to be a general United/ Mourinho love-in too
The Guardian on Saturday being a good example
Haha!
Jesus. I bet you are the life and soul at parties .. or not.
You want more threads then complain when the Post Match threads are posted and prove to be amongst the most popular threads week in week out ? You are completely out of touch with the majority of the board. The board struggles along as it is .. often with only 4 or 5 threads added to a day. And here you are moaning that one of the most popular are 'dull meandering pointless fucking threads'.
For a supposedly intelligent man you are as fucking thick as two short planks at times.
It's the internet mate. I imagine most of the lads on here are sound in 'real life'. Unfortunately when we can sound off without fear of repercussion everybody can get a little out of line, or abrasive, on occasion .. and naturally that includes me from time to time 😀
Why would it be the mods responsibility to create a post match thread? Surely anyone can just do that.
That's what I thought. I didn't really understand the whole exchange between Rosco and Froggy.
I think it's usually Red Ninja who starts them ? Anyway it was a dumb ass thing to say regardlessss. Gimme a break though it was at about 05.00 - 06.00 in the morning here and I get a little tetchy without sleep !
To kill the bitchy arguments going on in each one .. and allow new ones to begin.
To be fair though, that sounds like the fucking worst whatsapp group ever.
It's like any other collection of middle-aged LFC fans. Cynical and bitter
There's no video there Hansern??
Anyway, I was interested by people's selections in the Man of the Match thread. Of course Lovren, Ming, etc played very well - but I was surprised no one selected Lallana or Firmino, especially the former - who was superb. Didn't let Carrick - who's been United's best player for the last 2 months - get a kick, and he - along with Firmino - pressured the life out of Unite'd back 4/5 all day. Those two press better than any other duo in the premier league.
I guess those performances from those two are now accepted - as opposed to Mignolet's - but they were both fantastic.

Dont think its been uploaded yet mate, as it was just on SKY now. I'll have a look later.
Lallana and Can both did good work tactically
That Carra/Souness altercation was very strange and uncomfortable.
It seemed a fairly innocuous debate about Pogba, but Souness looked almost murderous. Carra is obviously well able to look after himself, being from Bootle and all, but that exchange illustrated the difference between 'hard' and slightly psychotically unhinged.
I'm amazed Souness hasn't battered anyone while he was managing

That's nice to hear. Has Thierry Henry ever scored less than 6 goals at this point in a Premiership season?
The return of Coutinho should help
Didn't he have a proper dust up with Bellamy when they were both at Blackburn. To be fair Bellamy is exactly the sort of personality that would set himy off. There's always been something a bit Franco Begbie about Souey he seems to take any form of disagreement as a direct confrontation.
Frank Begbie. That's spot on.
Hmmm, this is quite the quandry the forum faces itself with... Who to agree with?
Brendan's view on Firmino yesterday:
Or Thierry Henry - arguably the greatest player in the history of the premier league, and a man who should know a thing or two about how a forward should play on Firmino yesterday:
"He was outstanding yesterday. I WAS IN AWE OF HIM."
Which way will the forum side here? Cripes, such a tough one.
