Match Day Thread Man Utd v Liverpool Premier league

Ref had to give the pen. Been trying to make up for it since then.

We need to be careful first 15 minutes. Couthino on at 60 minutes when they're pushing on and we'll be well set up for the counter. Key is keeping them at bay early doors.

 

To be fair, martial is probably the toughest test he will face in the league. Martial roasted Clyne last year.

 

Good half. I feel as though we should up the tempo there's more goals for us. As I've said before the game balance is the key we have to defend well.

 

Our best player today.

 

I know I'm biased, but there seem to be a lot of United 'challenges' which I could class as fouls.

 

Yep, this ref looks like a bottler.

 

That booking was a disgrace. It wasn't even a foul, it was a perfect challenge!

Ref is blowing for every little thing, least he spotted Pogba playing basketball!

 

Hope Pogba keeps this up second half

 

TAA needs to relax, he's not been awful but there has been one or two mistakes.

 

I was referring to his wayward passing rather than dealing with Martial

 

So is Mignolet no.1 again now ?? i would say so

 

Exactly. He's a good player but careless passing can only be nerves.

 

Just saw it again - Klavan and Milner are in line, Lovren was so far deep. And he stepped up for the pogba chance which created the space.

Frightened Mata will come on for Pogba....

 

He's not the only one (not that it's a valid excuse).

Can, Origi both giving ball away a lot. Lovren gone long few times to no one.

 

Ref has been awful. Constant fouling by Utd players goes unpunished, yet as soon as they go over he gives them a free kick. Pogba should get retrospective punishment for hauling Hendo over by the neck, the ref can't possibly say he saw it as he took no action and there was no advantage.

Midfield could be a problem for us second half. If Coutinho comes on then Can could go off and Lallana drop deeper. I don't think Can has the legs for a full game in the position he is playing, Hendo may not last as its his first game back.

Still a lot of squeaky bum time left.

Game could be decided based upon the size of the bung Utd drop off in the re's room at half time.

 

They'll target him second half.

 

Still got Coutinho to come on.
