Match Day Thread Manchester United vs Liverpool

He reminds me of Robbie Savage the way he changes his opinions on a game to game basis. And also the fact that he's clueless.

 

Who cares what he was doing in the previous season under Moyes. He was our most improved player last season under a manager you beat off to every night. And he was instrumental in getting us top 4. To say he didn't deserve a new contract after that, shows just how little you understand or appreciate a player dedicated to the cause. And he is showing himself to be just as useful this season which proves once again how wrong you were.

Tell us more about the next Henry mate. I hear we're buying a little known Nigerian from Babanawa FC - they say he's the next Zidane bcos he did a Cruyff turn once

 

First time I've seen this bloke, he's pretty fcking funny tbf. The stuff about Gomez's reaction to the foul is brilliant.

 

Dunno if I should be slghtly optimistic about yesterday.

We weren't cut to pieces, each goal was reasonably preventable, espcially Blind's and the penalty, bad organisation and a rush of blood to the head.

Skrtel arguably could have done a lot better, definitely should have done a little better, it behooved him to show martial outside not ? do nothing? and let him walk past him.

United passed well enough but only really created problems when Young came on.

No cout meant we were looking for Lucas and Can to make things happen with no one making themselves a nuisance in the pockets in the united half. Ings and Benteke were starved and when we hit it up to Benteke no one was running beyond him. We were far too easy to defend against.

So my quantum of optimism is from theer being much room for improvement, Skrtel no doubt facepalmed when he seen a replay of his defending for the Marial goal. Gomez\s learned a lesson and hopefully and also a reminder not to fall a ****in sleep at set pieces.

United deserved their win and we were never really in it tbh. Best case scenario with the way we are playing right now was a point anyway.

Brod needs to fix it fast or he'll get the chop, after the summer backing by the owners. he should be doing a lot better with the squad he has

 

Man Utd weren't great, they only turned up once they scored. We were just completely ****

 

This guy is spot on when he talks about Liverpool and Rodgers. Coutinho and Hendo missing is fair enough but we've spent £300m and we went to get a 0-0 at Old Trafford #embarrassing

 

We had no cout in and around the middle to cause some problems and run at United and get them running backwards.

We missed Henderson's athleticism too I think. Can is a big unit but he only surges running forward liek a freight train, the dashing here and there leaves a bit to be desired. Hendo in that context would have added more though that still leaves Lucas as playmaker which is a death to people like Firmino who makes great runs when we have the ball at DM and looking to counter, Can too needs to play quicker, he takes too much out of the ball too often

 

I think it's safe to say both teams under-performed thanks to their respective managers. I still feel our squad (certainly our first XI) is better than yours. But considering the implosion by Chelsea at the moment, you'd think it wouldn't be too hard for Rodgers to be motivating his players to get top 4, and for LVG to be aiming for a title challenge. However, both are making hard work of it atm.

 

I think it's the manner of the defeat more than anything. United were pants and there for the taking but we buckled in the 2nd half and gifted them the one.

 

What's the odds on both Liverpool and Man U finishing outside the top four?

 

Wouldnt that make him the next cruyff?

 

If both teams play the rest of the season like that then 95%.

Chelsea are the odds ones atm, their top players just aren't performing and they can usually get buy on a 1-0 win with forward players being average because their defence is top notch by all falling apart.

Theyll still ill finish top 4 in my opinion as will city and arsenal, that 4th place could be open to a newbie like Everton or Spurs again though.

 

You obviously never watched enough of Zidane

 

tbh Bis I changed it to Zidane for two reasons - firstly the sentence didn't sound right saying Cruyff twice. And secondly, I doubt UIR would know who Cruyff was.

 

Plus if he's Nigerian, surely makes him the next jay-jay?

 

Not big enough name for UIR...


unless we had signed him ofcourse. Then he'd be Super jay-jay, the man, the myth!

 

When discussing a player as a whole its best to take his whole career into account instead of cherry picking which bits suit. Young still hasn't come close to his first season though he's certainly improved on his last season under Fergie and the disaster under Moyes. I'm more than happy to credit him for that and have. I just don't rate him as some sort of superstar like some.

Feel free to point out where I have called Martial, the next Henry. If you can find it then I will be more than happy to hold my hands up and apologise. Until then I suggest you stop making stuff up. You've been at it for a while now. Its a little tedious.

Look at it like this. We've just completely wiped the floor with Liverpool. Bar you and a small number of Liverpool fans, everyone saw this. We weren't vintage but we were in total and absolute control from start to finish.

You're moaning about it. Like we've just lost 6-1 to City at home. You're moaning about things that are not there, that never happened. You've read some stuff in a paper or on another forum and jumped the gn. This all started as you gleefully jumped on van Gaal (using your own logic you genuinely despise him. Pure hatred. Strange) post match comments about us being the better team in the first half. I, called you on it as once again. You focus on the negative, not only that bit something that was twisted out of context.

Its a common occurance. The 'has Woodward embarrassed the club' thread was a cracker. Rivals my 'worried' thread for egg on faceness. It was based on rumours. Unfounded rumours at that yet it was another opportunity for you to whinge.

At least when I was calling for Moyes to go the club was an utter shambles. I don't recall you moaning once back then either, as it goes. If you think its even close to that now, then sort but you are deluded beyond help.

Off topic, do you post on Redcafe? I've been trying to guess which whingbag you are on there. (that's a joke BTW, just incase you misread it, as usual)

 

Yes. I wonder who he might be. Tit.

 

To be honest, when asked which striker we should sign, the best answer you could come up with was Lorente. All your credibility went out the window with that.

You also stated Martial would likely be closer to Bebe. Based on absolutely nothing except van Gaal and Woodward signed him and as we have established, your hatred for the two runs deep.

He of course, went on to make you look a bit of a tit, on his debut. And no, that doesn't mean he's made it. I feel I need to explain this to you as you obviously struggle in this respect. If its not the press you are misreading its others peoples posts.

Would I be right in stating you don't enjoy United anymore!

 

We wiped the floor with you. It was beyond easy.

Funny as hell watching you guys claim we won't make top based on a game where we completely bossed you. We did this without a striker and while being poor in the final third for the first half.

Keep kidding yourselves though.
