Liverpool v Manchester United: Official Match Thread. 17.1.21 430pm Sky sports

So we don’t like Martial then? Cool.

a bit surprised like everyone else that he's gone with Lindelof over Bailly

not a massive fan of going 442 diamond against them which given how well they use their outside backs

i think the one area where we "should" have an advantage is martial and rashford on the counter against Henderson and Fabinho....the pace of our front 2 should create massive issues for them

bruno should have space to play because they aren't playing a true holding mid so will be curious to see what positions he takes up during the match

Sure he’s a lovely lad, just not keen on him as a footballer

How we handle them down the flanks will be key imo. Can’t afford to have Shaw and AWB going to sleep and they’ll need help from Fred and The Scottish Player.

Shame Thiago is fit because he gives them something different.

They have less legs in their midfield but more guile

Weird we're top of the league when Lindelof has started 13 of our 17 games.

With this set up, if their full backs bomb forward then they are going to be wide open at the back.

If we don’t gift them anything then I think we will win 0-3 to us

I’ll be furious if we come out of this and those two centre backs have had £#%&! all to do.

I’m dreading this

Probably our best team that. Bailly has a lot more to do to prove himself reliable imo.

Have visions of these £#%&!ers running over us here tbh, long break, plenty of energy and something to prove kick and rush us to death.

come on UNITED!!!!!

Same. I’ll be alright once it starts, just hate these £#%&!ers so much. Suppose I wouldn’t have it any other way

ole made some odd looking decisions with the line-up before leeds, and look what happened there.

Gonna win this.

Micah Richards is a horrific pundit.

The first 15 mins will be vital, no early gifts.

Get at those centre halves, make them doubt their defence

With that said I hope we beat them as they are long over due a lose at home.

United to win, BTTS and over 3.5 goals. 8/1
Onit

Haven't felt this nervous for ages. Come on lads get into them scouse bastards.

£#%&!ing get into these horrible @#%&!s. Come on!

Why not just rest him against Burnley then?

I thought the idea was that if you play well you keep your place.

Strange for me, but I suppose Ole knows best.

Top red giving the opposition an extra couple of hours to prepare.

The weasel caught slipping him the team sheet should be unceremoniously fired.

liverpool look scared. if we win, we'll win big.
