I'd take 0-0 now. As said, this is deja vue with Monginho doing just what he did that day with Chelsea in 2014. I'd stick Origi on now and take of gerinmo or Studge,. Mane just not in it as there's totally no room, and we're either lumping the ball at Studge or firing it towards him like cannonballs. Can and Hendo outrun, outmuscled and outskilled.
To be fair, as **** as that was for half hour I'm pleased we started to control the game in the last 15 minutes. Hopefully we come out with that attitude second half.
Awful first half as a game of football. Can has improved slightly but his first touvh is crap. Ref seems to be a Zlatan fan as he has not booked him despite the numerous fouls. Think the ref bottled it more than being bent then decided if he did not book someone the game may get away from him so he booked Bailly for his first foul, and it was only a push after the ball had gone. If we do not improve Utd will win this 1-0 from a set piece. Think Klopp may take Can off mid way through the second half and put Lucas on, also Sturridge off and bring Lallana on, moving Firminho into the centre. Sturridge has had crap service, but has hardly moved.
can has been off the pace, got more involved later in the half but still has to come off for me swap him with lallana and drop hendo in front of the back four. studge needs to come deeper on occasion to get more involved as so far hes been isolated due to lack of a little effort and our midfield forgetting how to play for 35mins
Lfc awful. Really really poor with ball under really zero pressure. Mane.. wrong studs Sturridge not arsed Coutinho dribbling from too deep. Can.. woeful. Terriblely slow with any pass. Henderson not much better. Id press the nuclear button right now and whip Sturridge off and risk lallana I note that utd are that poor that they cant find one ball to rashford. The lads in miles of space constantly.. but then a couple times they did get it out there by 20 passes he refused to deliver when ibrahimovic looked free. Utd can win this if they just go for it. Lfc have no energy in the midfield area and can wont go... the press as a result is for show... rhc will be needing some blow... Finish this limerick please guys
You guys are ****ing ****. Can is as diego described useless. Useless touch always passes back side to side footballer. Nothing wrong with the ref so far. You are just being out pressed by united. Your keeper also looks super flappy. I need pool to win this and klopp has ruined the balance. Coutinho literally at cm. Firmino on left wing. Studge being lazy. Can getting time and space cause hes useless on the ball
thought we started to get a handle on the game in the last 10 mins. helped that Can suddenly remembered how to play. In a way it is a compliment to us that Mourinho set them up so defensively even though our midfield is 2/3 rds missing. Studge is going to have to join in our i can't see him lasting past 60 mins before JK hooks him
Expect Studge and Can to go off, hopefully Lallana and Ninja ate fit enough to come on; Firmino up top, Coutinho left, the two coming on either side of Hendo.
Lol Can has come back from an injury - what's Henderson's excuse? Play Can deepest and get #14 off. At least Can doesn't shy away from wanting the ball.
Klopp needs to get plan B out. He surely cannot let United dominate the ball like that. We are going to get shafted by a set piece or a deflection.
Nothing wrong with any of that bar utd out pressing. They are not even trying. We are just being totally ****.
Can is rusty that's all. Hasn't played all season and only in because have 2 injuries in CM. I take it you've missed him running past about 3 united players on two different occasions to get he team forward?
Any long diagonal to rashford that the lad controls.. thats how they will score. We are wide open if they have any quality at all.
