Match Day Thread Europa league R16 leg 2: Manu Utd V Liverpool

If it wasn't for bad touches by Coutinho and Henderson we would have been 2-0 up in the first 20 minutes

Man Utd so lucky

Ref has an interesting decision now, go all out in his bias or accept it's over and drop it

 

De Gea got his angles all wrong there but good awareness from Couts. We haven't been bad, it was inevitable we was going to be under pressure tonight as is the nature of the tie.. So far so good.

 

And Henderson....take the armband off him....hasn't got a shot on target in 10 matches......

 

Studge, Firmino and Coutinho have all been poor overall. Fortunately Coutinho had his moment of brilliance that saw a library type atmosphere arrive

They'll get more space in this half because Man Utd have to go all out attack

 

I swear he's trying to jinx us

 

Sakho has been boss again for me, can a close second, especially defence wise.

migs had a great save there too, so he owes us a howler now

Lets go!

 

half over and the actual situation is a great deal of relief is felt.

I didn't think utd were great but we gave them huge space to play and we were afraid to challenge barring clyne who has really had a shocker.

we've done ok in parts but seem to want to be controlled and we are not very good at it. we are better going hell for leather but this is whats required in europe.. controlled displays.

We've now made it hard for utd. there can be no extra time so they need 3 goals in 45mins.

Great time to score... little bit of luck as coutinho destroyed both players and made both look silly as the both anticipated different actions.

I expect LFc to be trying to control the game again second half and see this out.

3 goals is a big ask for anyone but we can't gift them another.

valencia coming on.... looking for crosses here are utd. varela off.... he got the blame bascially.... thats classic van gaal.. take out anger on a player.

 

Clyne is getting ****ed though. Need to get cover there - Lallana's not doing it.

 

Migs should be getting ball that come down from the sky with snow on.

 

he's been decent yes... only one small error with a pass.

Mings had a good save but he could have caught that balloon and he should have come for that nothing ball that felliani watched drop for an hour too.

mingolet is glued back to his line as well. he wants no error.

 

snap!

 

nerves are back again...

sigh.... this ones just a nervy one for me.

Coutinho thanks for 15mins of calm there.

 

ok... now i need a ****....

**** sake this is ridiculous... nerves...

 

thats a deliberate elbow given as only a yellow.

 

**** Fellaini man.

 

Ridiculous how he gets away with elbows all the time. That was clearly deliberate.

 

total **** clyne... total ****... thats total lack of bottle. he's gone.

 

Fellaini yellow for nailed on red

Liverpool fouled twice, ref says play on then gives them a free

 

Get Clyne off the ****ing pitch

 

fellaniai ****!

 

that was a foul on Clyne
