Far too much safe, backward passing. Young's the only one driving forward. Where's our captain?
Manchester United vs Liverpool
- Thread starter Niall

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) and Imran (@Annihilate Now!) are here to discuss three 1-1 draws.
The first got us knocked out of the FA Cup, the next puts us in a good position in our Round of 16 Europa League game, and the latest was an actual decent performance against Arsenal at Old Trafford.
All hopes for the season now rest on the Europa League - does Amorim have the squad to win it?

Liverpool are actually pretty average. We are just so bizarre with our passing it's making them look efficient.
The back 3 and fletcher have been shocking so far
Welbeck would've been great in a game like this IMO
our own pressing has been pretty effective. love seeing that since LVG got here.
A United CM demanding the ball?! Herrera 
This really isn't a difficult problem to fix.
Buy two talented midfielders who are comfortable on the ball and who aren't terrified when the opposition run at them.

Shaw has shown good pace
Young so far looks a totally different player, long may it continue .
Rooney wake up.
Rooney needs to stop with these useless crossfield passes.
That cross field ball again.
It's a good learning experience for them being put under pressure by Liverpool. It also will give Van Gaal insight in who can handle when being put under pressure.
Shaw's technique there
Has Rickie Lambert completed a pass? Tuned into this late and had no idea he was even playing.
FFS, we were terrible for the first 10 minutes and we've played some decent stuff since then. Can't argue with the penalty but we've started playing much better once we got used to the pace of the game. Fletch is the only player out there having a mare, but nobody plays all games like clockwork.
Reading the thread, makes it feel like it's dire out there.

Young has well and truly proved himself this tour. He was probably the player I most wanted to leave before but now I'd be disappointed to see it!
The entire team is out of sorts. Lots of games in a short space of time before full fitness levels probably having an impact on both the energy levels and the speed of thought.
Sterling not got a lot other than speed
Rooney's passing is shite at times
Shaw looks like a proper United player.
Miss the young Rooney, would have had a shot there.
Get Shinji on for second half please
We look mentally exhausted. Totally shot.
Yeah, and that's clearly how they've set up, good tactics by Brendan.
But if we're dictating whilst playing the ball as poorly as we've seen this tour then I'd be hopeful of playing it better at some stage and seeing the rewards.
Or Young will do it all himself.
Going into the new season with Smalling, Jones and Evans as our first choice centre backs won't end well.
We'll equalise before half time.
Im pretty sure young sold his soul for talent in the summer to mr lucifer.
Evans needs to stop shitting himself everytime someone is within 10 yards of him.
Don't be silly!!
Our defenders are disgraceful when it comes to actually playing football
back 3 look nervous in high pressure game
Fletcher looks knackered. Two matches in three days is obviously too much.
We definitely still need another midfielder.

Got to give credit Brenda a lot of credit, this Liverpool team is very decent
Sterling is a bloody fantastic player, without even considering his age.
What about his slip / mis-control, that put Sterling in & nearly got a peno out of it?
Shaw moves so quick with the ball without making it looking like's he's actually trying to run that fast.
This. We badly need to get two centre-backs in soon
Herrera and Fletch anonymous.
