I don't think we would have. Main issue from the left side was Robbo, and main issue in midfield was fabinho. Milner recycled possession effectively.
I stand by my post.
You're nuts if you think Hendo can, even on his best day, provide 'more effective screening and ball progression' than Fabs on his worst. Regardless of whether Fabs has looked like his last season self or not ... he starts ahead of Hendo every time.
I like this ... a lot. However I still think Klopp will start with Firmino as an inverted #9.
Naturlich !
Casemiro (note the spelling Moron) won't be signed in time for ... this season.
exactly this
or start firmino and take him off for carvalho when we are three up
Fab's hasnt been that great for a while, he's barely mopping up anything at the minute, but don't let that cloud your usual "my predicted stats by Froggy".
If United fail to score against us, they will have to nominate an own goal for their goal of the month.
Current RedCafe predictions:
36% - 0-5
12% - 0-3
!0% - 0-4
7% - 2-1
5% 1-4
30% - obviously something else
Multiple complaints the system only allows a maximum of 0-5
Christ it isn't until post 66 of their pre-match thread that anyone makes a positive comment

I don't have the stats to back me but based on purely watching the two games, Fabinho looked like he was a member of the LFC legends seniors team.
He has a spell like that every year where he plays like hes 10 years older than he really is, he must have some sort of underlying issue. He's also really slow at getting back to match sharpness after an injury break. He needs to find his rhythm
De Gea will have a blinder - saving everything we throw at him, Ronaldo will run us ragged with his movement, Rashford will score a brace, Sancho will tear us apart with his creative brilliance, Fernandes will get one of his shots on target and score, Maguire will dominate our forwards while Martinez towers over us, Shaw will cripple Salah and Fred will have our entire midfield in his back pocket.
Way to twist my words, I didn't say he was great at all, just better than Hendo, who has been shite, and I haven't checked anyone's stats on this 2 game season - but that wouldn't get in the way of the negativity on this site anyway as people just ignore them to go with 'what I've seen with my own eyes' (shame there's such disparity there as well - sort of negates that PoV).
Luckily LFC use stats and not their eyes.
Yeah but that wasn't my point mate. I wasn't bigging up his sub-par performances this season.

Well if he falls flat Bluebell is up for the next one !
I'm guessing (hoping) it's the short break and not yet back to full fitness. The world cup break could do him good as it's unlikely he'll start many games.

Forget a win or a draw, can Manchester United summon a credible performance in their third game of an already listing campaign? With Liverpool their Monday evening visitors the obvious answer may be no, but as Jürgen Klopp’s team have drawn their first two games, maybe there is a glimmer of hope for Erik ten Hag’s side. While the United manager should not have to gee up his thus-far dismal players for a meeting with their arch-rivals, the same equation is true for Klopp, already four points behind Manchester City after only 180 minutes of football. Expect Cristiano Ronaldo to start once more despite his desire to leave, and for United’s fragile confidence to crumble should Liverpool get an early goal. If that occurs then the Old Trafford crowd will have to find its voice to try to offer what their team lacks badly: belief.
