Liverpool’s luck in the last few games is ridiculous!

They deserve to win but seriously, scummy, scummy goals.

Sure but when you are 33-5 up in shots, that's going to happen sometimes, even if they are not that great.
 
Liverpool are doing well at the moment, so not a big surprise that United losing....but what excuse is there for Mourinho to do so poorly in so many games with the expensive players that he has. I'd really like to see these so called 'great managers' work with poorer sides.
 
Henderson got a shot right at the end to make it 36-6, so all 13 outfield Liverpool players had a shot. Mourinho in.

Yep I think there should be a 'bush tucker trial' where the top six managers have to manage the bottom 6 for 5 games. That would be interesting.


PS: I know this would never work etc, just a "I wonder what" :)
 
Mourihno used to be a fantastic manager - but I have no idea what he’s trying to do with this United side.

They look abysmal, his tactics are basically the same as Mark Hughes’s?

He's done a Wenger basically and is unable to adapt with the times. Football is all about high energy now and his teams aren't set up to play that eayway.

Spurs can take Howe. Chelsea can take Wilson. Arsenal can take Ake. Everyone can turn their noses up at Simon Francis.
 
Four rounds of Xmas fixtures:

Arsenal v Burnley
Huddersfield v Saints
Man City v Palace
Newcastle v Fulham
Cardiff v Man Utd

Fulham v Wolves
Burnley v Everton
Palace v Cardiff
Liverpool v Newcastle
Man Utd v Huddersfield
Saints v West Ham

Fulham v Huddersfield
Leicester v Cardiff
Watford v Newcastle
Palace v Chelsea
Burnley v West Ham
Saints v Man City

Arsenal v Fulham
Cardiff v Spurs
Chelsea v Saints
Huddersfield v Burnley
Wolves v Palace
Newcastle v Man Utd

If the real Man Utd want to wake up, that would be greatly appreciated. Such an opportunity for us next weekend, given those fixtures.

Ultimately though, winnable games for all seven of us across these four rounds.

Firstly, our home record is better than our away record. Five points at home compared to four points away - despite having played seven at home compared to nine away. Not to mention two home defeats compared to seven away defeats. Yes we can't win at home, but I wish people would stop pretending that we're somehow better off playing away (I had to listen to that throughout last season too, when it was also wrong. The results simply don't back it up.)

Secondly, our form is of little relevance to Cardiff's needs. A home game against a fellow relegation rival should always go down in their book as a must-win. Just as it should for Huddersfield. Cardiff did what they needed last weekend, Huddersfield didn't today.

Us losing to Cardiff was an awful result for us, awful. But Huddersfield losing today is much worse in my view.

We've now got double the numbers of points at home, than away. Such is our poor away form. Please put that right next weekend, Saints.

And we've still only been behind for two minutes at home this season, other than the Chelsea game.
