Liverpool v Manchester United - 430 ko - Sky Sports - Official Match Thread

Keano talking shite. Paddy Evra talking sense.

Just checked Souness's 'water'

Lindelof?

How has he become a core member of our team, we have been defensively shite ever since it happened, he doesn't defend, just backs off and waves players through. Utter, utter @#%&!.

Yeah he does. Needs to learn to conserve his energy, he’s chasing down everything. He’s an impact sub, he’s not good enough to start games imo. He’s too technically poor to play in tight games like this

And phelan...a man who was all but retired from football teaching PE at a sixth form

It's all a bit Round and Wee Jimmy isn't it.

Nobody knows who any of Kloppo's weird @#%&!s are and it doesn't seem to be holding them back much, it's not that big a deal, but still a bit meh.

Who'd have thought spending 15 million on a championship player would have brought this. He has glimpses of being decent. But other than run fast what can he do? Not a fatastic crosser or passer or good in the air. He needs to stay out wide instead of cutting in and run into space.

Klopps men had a track record turning dortmund into somewhat of a decent team.

I don't think anyone is really surprised at what we've seen there.

They look exactly what they are - a bullish team full of confident, 25+ year old players all at their absolute peak. We look exactly what we are - an injury ravaged team full of average players and inexperienced kids.

At times it's been like watching a fully grown men's team playing against an under 15's. Their players are so much more intense and physically robust than ours it's incredible. Time after time our players get rag dolled in challenges and bounced off the ball.

It's mad because i actually think City have more quality than them in the first 11, I think what's separated Liverpool from everyone else this season is their mentality, their work ethic and and aggression.

We won't get back into this, we just don't have the quality out there to compete with them. They'll score a 2nd and then it'll be damage limitation.

Areas we should focus on more than a CF (especially with Greenwood coming through): Defence, midfield (both defensive and attacking), right wing.

Improved to what ? Below average instead of shit?

This team badly needs a striker who doesn't go missing and can actually be a focal point.

An area we desperately need to improve.

Needs to replaced as a starter in the summer.

250k a week and we’re supposed to be impressed when he puts a shift in for a few games a season.

The way Lindelof expertly dealt with the danger after De Gea was fouled was a joy to behold.

Heard that Norwegian kid at Dortmund is decent.

Apparently he’d definitely leave us for Liverpool in 2021 though so..

the bit i dont understand is going into this game you know liverpool will press aggressively all over the pitch especially when we have the ball at the back. So you would practice patterns of play out from the back. Who's showing as an outlet? passing angles dealing with the press.

Instead its like its the first time we have ever seen it. 3 passes then just £#%&!ing smash it as far away from the goal as possible.

He had one player to watch at the end of that half and proceeded to give him 10 yards of space. I have no faith in him at all.

Everyone has a plan until you get punched in the face. None of them are capable of playing at the level required. We need at least 8 new players.

Mentality of a small child.

Five at the back and he’s clean through six yards out

Replace Pereira and Martial and we'd look a different team imo.

I’ve heard he’s quite an intelligent lad.

They’re absolutely battering us.

Disgusting.
