Match Day Thread Liverpool v Manchester United

It's next Saturday, The game is at Anfield, 12:30pm, The game is on Sky Sports Premier
League.

 

The game is 7 weeks away, maybe 8

and who won?

 

Great thread. I see another 4 goal thriller.

 

Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Matth has included the date of the match in the match thread.

 

If they play like they did against Newcastle today they're getting bummed rotten in their own back yard, no two ways about it.

 

It's their game of the season, they will come out all guns blazing.
Even their better supporters think winning the "top six" league comes with a trophy

 

No, Diego!! You're wrong! Winning against United is the most important achievement to Scouser. It beats winning the league itself. Expect the pool boys to come at us with all guns blazing.

 

That will happen, and it will leave a huge hole in there defence.

 

To many people (including pundits) this is the first real test United would face this season.

Like Cytrax said in another thread, I am hoping that JM realises that the RS defence has been **** and that's something that his team should exploit. The RS will need to come out as they are playing at home and their crowd will push for that. In working out the pros and cons, a win will keep our run going and would be a massive boost. Yes, a loss would of course be unwelcome but we would not lose as much as what we would gain from a win. A draw would not be of much use to either side. United's form is better than the RS' and JM has to confirm it.

1-3 to United.

 

Obviously a tough place to go but we have the better team. Should be looking to beat them.

 

City beating the chavs in their own backyard has pointed the way. It was not only the win which impressed but the way City totally dominated them. It would have been a travesty had City not won. United should do the same , not that it is going to be easy. I think in this case the performance will be as important as the points.

 

Is there no thread to discuss the international break?

 

It's on the Spurs board - that way they get to talk about winning at Wembley.

 

The usual will happen, Jose will look to ride out the initial onslaught and quieten the crowd if we can't score in the first half you'll win it.

 

We'll win it anyway, you're not gonna score 5.

 

Bookmarked.

 

Well Fellaini is out injured.

 

Martial and Lukaku got to get through tonight unscathed yet, got a feeling that won't happen!

Assuming they do, I would go with the following team;

De Gea
Valencia
Jones
Bailly
Darmian (with fingers and balls crossed)
Herrera
Matic
Mata
Martial (or Rashford)
Lukaku
Mhkitaryan (or Rashford)


I'd be comfortable with Rashford being picked ahead of either Martial or Mhki and the other being sub.

I would instinctively pick Young ahead of Darmian but at least Darmian is an actual defender and that side is Liverpool's strength so Young could be exposed by Mane.

 

Most likely team for us.

Mingo
Gomez Matip Lovren Moreno
Hendo
Can Coutinho
Salah Firmino Mane
​

I'm certain you will try to weather the intitial storm, once the crowd calm it a bit you'll get more into the game.

I don't see us learning **** all and will probabaly miss a load of chances and allow you to grab a goal or 2 with our ability to **** things up at the back.

 

Was hoping Lukaku wouldn't play tonight!
