Match Day Thread Liverpool vs Manchester United officially official match day thread of officialness.

Have you been on holiday for a few weeks, I've missed you.

 

Everything is relative. You're a poor team that beat a **** team. At some point you'll have to come up against a good team from a decent league. I watched the second half of Dortmund v Spurs this afternoon and the football Dortmund played was miles ahead of anything the PL has to offer. It's startling how **** the PL has become since the late 00's.

 

From what I was watching, we were fast, direct, chasing players down, making chances, defensively solid, getting every second ball.

You can only beat what's in front of you, and you were so bad you're lucky to still be in the tie.

But to take away the fact we played well is disrespectful

 

I am too embarrassed to post what LVG has just said after the match. Couldn't bring myself to darken the board with the bollox he's just spouted. It is without doubt worse than anything Moyes ever came out with.

 

No One (not even Famous) would disagree with this. What is odd is how you ignore how Chelsea are in an even bigger mess despite unprecedented investment, and less success, over the past ten years.

 

I agree Dortmund are an awesome team, with so much quality through it.

Put it this way I wouldn't fancy them in the next round


The PL is ****e. People go on about it being the best league in football - they're mistaken for it being the most expensive league in football.

Some of these Spanish or German teams would win our league with ease.

 

I'm sure it was very entertaining, I've long since given up on listening to his witterings!

 

His bullshit only confirm he's a clueless and gutless coward who should be managing in the championship or better still retiring altogether.

 

BTW can I just say I blame Rooney, he was invisible today!

 

There's no excuse for how crap the PL has become since the days of 3 teams in the CL semi finals. I get that the overseas top players will always want to go to Barca and Real as the money is just as good and the weather/lifestyle is more suited to them than the NW but there are more than 40 good players in the world.

 

How many of the worlds best 10 players do you think we have in our league?

I'm struggling tbh.

Agureo
Ozil (?)
Sanchez (?)

 

It all goes round in cycles. We're just going through what Italy did about 8 years ago. Only difference is they were undone by corruption, we're being undone by too much money than sense. It's interesting that the manufactured squads are faltering while the ones who are actually scouting real talent at a fraction of the price (like the best clubs used to do 10-20 years ago) are doing well.

 

Why couldn't we have lost to Braga ffs

 

I have to say that the stuff being spouted by Scholes smacks of the same arrogant bollocks that Robbie Fowler came out with in that first season that 'Pool finish outside the top 4. He said - and I quote - "Liverpool deserve to be in the top 4." Well, 6 or 7 seasons later and I think we can safely say that 'Pool deserve to be exactly where they are - in mid-table obscurity.

The next man through the door will be the third since Fergie fcuked off leaving the squad in an utter shambles - the same number of managers that 'Pool have had since Benitez had his ass kicked out of Klanfield. Anyone else spot the pattern, here?

 

Treble has signed a per-contract agreement to become the next Utd manager. I believe he starts his new role in August.

 

I wouldn't include Ozil in that list and I think the PL has somehow managed to break Sanchez who I thought was more deserving than Hazard of the POTY award last season.

Aguero is brilliant though. I admire the fact he's committed to City. You don't hear him whining about a move every transfer window.

 

I could do a better job than Van Gaal tbf. Mind you so could a tub of lard.

 

So we've got a grand total of 1 player of the best 10 playing in our league - says it all really!!

 

Astro should be your assistant #dreamteam

 

The top European teams do consistently what Leicester and Spurs have been doing this season, which is play as a team, except they do it with XI world-class players on the field each match.
