    That applies to virtually every CB around.
    Skrtel could have given away 15-20 per game!....

    Add Fonte & Shawcross to that list...

    It's a good rule I reckon... seeing more goals because of it. Might even make teams learn how to defend properly!!

    Sky , switching to DENIAL mode is imminent mate...... Skrtel was one of the cleanest CB's around and very harshly treated by some appalling refereeing decisions....... Anyway, he's not there anymore, so it doesn't count !

    In all seriousness, I think you will see a lot more goals scored from set plays now .

    Is that this weeks reason for us winning the title Sky... Cheating ?
    Last week, we fluked it <laugh>
    I would love to know your reasoning why you haven't won a Premier League title being the massive team that you are ? <laugh>

    We removed Skrtel from our team due to the new rules, replaced him with Matip.

    Klopp is a genius.

    Plus, yes it doesn't count as he is NOT a Liverpool player.

    You did fluke it and also cheat.

    "The Flukey Cheater's"

    That's the chant around the grounds this season.

    I heard that chant, it does make me chuckle whilst in absolute agreement.

    There's that other chant going around too:

    "Are you Chelsea, are you Chelsea in disguise, are you Chelsea in disguise!?" Heard United fans singing it on Saturday.

    I like the Chelsea one. I heard that too. I put my surround sound on to get the best out of it, blasted it right out. Classic.

    Was a pretty abject performance from us - particularly defensively. But putting it into some perspective, we were largely undone by the most expensive player in the world playing very well in combination with arguably the world's best 'centre forward' over the last 10 years - that combined with United having had the shackles taken off them by Rooney not slowing down the play ... wish Jose had given hime one more chance <laugh> ...

    Looking for a reaction against Porto and also to how Claudio counters what is currently happening to our defence - for me we are too vulnerable to being undone with a 4-4-2 that includes Wes andd Huth ... they are not quick enough to react to 'clever' runners combined with players that can find them (like Pogba did to great effect on Saturday) ... I'd be tempted to try a back 5 moving Fuchs into the middle 3 and playing Simpson/Albrighton and Schlupp more as wing backs ...

    ... thing is ... you only get those chants aimed at your team when you have actually won something ... like the EPL title for instance ... think you lads are lucky here ... cos I don't think fans of other clubs are going to be aiming such chants at you next season <whistle>

    He's hoping for a third successive 3-0 win.

    Mourinho seemed to think so ... he was very complimentary towards Ranieri in terms of what Ranieri did at half time - and we were considerably better in the second half ... indeed I've yet to see Ranieri make changes in games that haven't improved us ... so I'll not be worried anytime soon ...

    We have a problem in defence which needs sorting ... defnsive pairings have a finite lifespan it seems ... Huth and Morgan look to be in a similar place to where Ferdinand and Vidic were the season after United last won the title ... I hope I'm wrong .... but we can't continue inviting the better teams to exploit the lack of mobility between the pair ...

    Have you just copied and pasted Fosse's Saturday morning prediction?
