Match Day Thread Manchester United v Liverpool

You wouldnt

 

True, you were shouting from the rooftops before you won.

Then Stevie stamped.

And then of course there were those PL Champions 2013/14 banners.

Then Stevie slipped.

 

You cant have that, that lives at the Emirates

And you havent done anything yet. Its looking good for you though, cheats

 

We'll come back when we've won 18.

 

Come back where? Go and play around your own end

 

Temper, temper: DR stamping his feet

 

Muchos kudos to DR for giving it large whatever happens. Unlike the plastics like King D1ck Kenny who turn up when the moment calls for it then disappear like rats up a drainpipe never to be seen again #keyboardwarriors

 

BTW I wonder IF people actually appreciate just how fcking class Herrera is. Completely controlled that central midfield today. Fck me have we missed some creativity in there since Scholes left.

 

Is doc the commentator??

 

I thought Herrera challange was worse than it was on Gerrard when I saw in the pub, seeing it again it wasnt that bad. Gerrard ****ed our chances of a comeback up.

So like I say, with 10 men we still scored and wth 11 we'd have won, you did a great smash and grab today which you have to do away against the big clubs so fair play

 

They were much better 11 on 11.

You were better off playing with ten than 11 when the 11th player is a liability like Gerrard

 

It was more of an attempted block than a challenge, Gerrard had no reason to react in any way to it.

 

Correct

 

We took our foot off the gas, i think their loss of a man made us a bit complacent. Not very proffessional but **** happens sometimes.

 

Just need to make sure we don't fck up against Aston Villa now. That's the complacency I worry about. I include LVG in that, as he may feel he can drop Herrera and/or Mata for this and royally fck it up. We're playing once a week, just keep the SAME starting 11.

 

These are two players he must not drop. Young has been one of our top performers this season but was a bit quiet today, if he feels the need to drop someone then Young deserves a rest and di Maria could play in his best position (with Young on the bench just in case).

 

I'd play Young against his old club, and he's been playing well at Old Trafford. Di Maria's attitude was poor today but maybe giving him the opportunity to tear Villa apart at OT may do him some good, who knows.

 

I just think van Gaal feels the need to fit ADM in somewhere, if so i would prefer him to fit him where he can play. I would also be tempted to drop Jones for Rojo, both a penalty waiting to happen but Jones looks very shaky to me of late (Smalling has really surprised me over the last 6 weeks).

 

Fair point.

Agree about Smalling. Rojo and Jones both look dodgy as fck. He seems to have given up on McNair?

 

Right sided, Smalling has that place and is doing well.
