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

I think he sleeps face down.

 

I agree it's the money but more importantly the whole change in philosophy within all the top clubs, i.e. you can ONLY buy success. I'm not talking about the debate between buying players or developing youth. I'm talking about the price, i.e. you want to win the league ergo you must spend £30m+ on players and they will guarantee to be a better pedigree than spending £10-20m, Which we can see is patently bollox. It might work with cars but it doesn't with sport.

Where I disagree is where you say top teams now need to compete in the league. Yeh the other clubs are playing better football and have improved in quality but going back 8-15 years, we had teams like Newcastle, Liverpool, Leeds, Chelsea (pre-2004 and post 2004) competing for the top 4 and performing well in the CL. And just behind that the likes of Everton and Spurs. I'd say the big clubs from back then were just that bit more cutting edge, the standards we became accustomed to and took for granted were just that much higher. The big clubs back then would fare no worse today, and current sides like West Ham and Spurs would be no different in terms of competition than the competition they faced back then.

 

None of them had the power of your plastix shirts at Anfield last week

Repetition. Please keep that to the Chelsea board where you can post as many Conte threads as you like.

 

Not all your fans live on the Chelsea Board like you so many would not have seen post

 

And even less care.

Kindly **** off.

 

No form of life can live exclusively on the Chelsea board, there's limited atmosphere and what atmosphere there is is toxic. It would explain why the handful of Chelsea posters spend the majority of their time on here!

8 minutes before Chelsea kick off and you're on here!

 

Don't worry, we won't see him until next season now Chelsea are winning fack all this year

 

We'll see him at around 6pm if we don't win this afternoon. He remains under the impression that the Chavs have had a good season compared to United.

 

United have now a huge mountain to climb. Because LVG and his players have ****ed up as they've done so often this season.

All they can hope to do now is show some fight. And then see where it leads them. If we score a goal early, it could be an exciting game. If they score first, the game is over. The tie is practically over anyway and anything else is a bonus.

Our history in the Europa after being dumped from the CL is pretty appalling. We lost all our games and in many of those United was outclassed.

Like the replay at the hammers I hope LVG will send out an attacking team. Nobody expects the RS not to go through although this will have been a pointless exercise for those deluded too. They are just less **** than United in the Europa and they will be just be fodder for the other remaining teams in the next round. They have absolutely little chance of winning it, relying as they've done in the past on penalty shoot outs and dodgy ref decisions.

LVG should just put an attacking team to score the required goals. With DDG in goal, there is a very small chance...just. (after all it is not as bad as the RS trying to make up a GD of 11 is it? )

 

What the **** does that mean?

 

I'd be pleased to see Borthwick-Jackson back tomorrow. I've been very impressed with him, both defensively and going forward. I think we'd cause them far more problems with him in the side.

 

Looks a real talent, not just the odd game either, he has been very consistent so far.
