Strange not being able to blame this on Roy Hodgson...

Diego is right I believe... happened to Ribery a few years ago for example

Feel Southampton will regret not scoring a second. Liverpool only need one goal to be in the tie again despite that ****e tonight. Karius MOTM. Good saves and distributed well. Desperately flat in midfield. Can was awful, Wijnaldum too conservative, Lucas his usual self. No creativity and...

Lol at anyone criticising Sturridge this half. We're very flat... maybe it's United on Sunday, maybe we're happy to get a draw/keep it alive for Anfield. No creativity in midfield, missing pace out wide. Can't get Sturridge into the game. Missing Mane, Coutinho, Henderson badly. Firmino...

United have played teams they should beat and have done. Can't knock it, they're starting to shape up. A win would be massive considering we have Chelsea and Spurs soon. If we leave January in decent shape we can have a great season given our run in. A draw would be the realistic and still...

Glad we've capitalised on Arsenal slipping up last night. All in all we've made it through this run of good fixtures and into the Christmas period in great shape. Considering how difficult our opening fixtures were we're in a great place to kick on. Pleased for Origi too. Finally getting...

Otamendi has been woeful for City. A hipster Skrtel, honestly. No brain. Stones can play a bit but not sure he's going to reach the levels expected of him. Could be a good player in the right partnership/system though. Still think we need a midfielder who can control play. Our midfield...

Sanchez is brilliant. Would've loved him here. Need 3 points tomorrow to keep up... but we knew that beforehand. Lets hope they try and win and leave space for Origi

Clever of Celtic to t <laugh> was more referring to growing up with everyone supporting Rangers than the politics! Still feel an illogical sort of bias towards them PS - Odegaard played pretty well for Madrid on his full debut. Maybe not such a bad choice... but we will see

Dembele would be more like £10m plus add ons. Although the NI native in me doesn't want to give Celtic that kind of money... he is #goodonfifa Not sure why we'd buy a first team CB in January or why that would be Van Dijk. Not entirely sold on him defensively. There are good, cheaper options...

Thought Charlie Taylor was possibly MOTM last night. Looked a decent player. Game was pretty disjointed as you'd expect. Good signs from the young players while Origi showed some great strength and dribbling ability. Just needs to become a focal point to really make it.

-----------------Mignolet TAA----Lucas-----Klavan----Moreno -------Brannagan----Stewart ---------------Wijnaldum ----Mane-----Sturridge----Origi Would like to see Ejaria and Grujic also. Woodburn if we're winning. Wouldn't be surprised if Lovren and/or Clyne play.

I think the technical ability and mentality to be decisive is evident in Karius. He needs experience, confidence and stability in front of him to improve his decision making. Mignolet has never been able to improve meaningfully/consistently on the mentality he arrived with. You look at the...

...according to wiki he's played left back this season... Sign him up immediately! #anyonebutmoreno

Apparently McQueen has played winger and fullback + been looked at by a few clubs. Would wonder at 21 why he hasn't played much for them. But honestly couldn't say yes/no. From the fan's perspective I'd rather see Brandt or similar come in at that age.
