Manchester United vs Liverpool

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?

I think Fletcher's playing like someone who played a couple of days ago and isn't ready for another match. I think a few of them are.
We are missing someone to grab this game by the scruff of the neck there are no leaders out there it's so clear to see , Hernandez is a lovely guy but he has Been feckin bobbins ,I'd take fletcher off for cleverley , Chico off bring zaha on ( I know I'm gonna get scorched for that one ) or lingaard on ,
This.
Herrera's great. Don't mind the fouls because he's always pressing and trying to win the ball back. hate to say it, but I am not sure Fletcher will have the physicality to to partner him in the pl week in week out in the high-tempo games. Doesn't look good at the minute.
Typical matchday thread.
Why do we keep giving away so many penalties. Unfamiliar with the system? Or is it a problem with having a back 3 in general.
This is one of my concerns about a front two of rooney and rvp. We wont have the pace or player to get behind the defence. Certainly need welbeck to play.

Yey more smoke.
we need intelligence in the back
Nah but two weeks preparation behind us, which at this stage is a huge difference.
The positives from the first half is that LVG as definitely seen what the deficiencies are. Over to the transfer forum.
Some players are playing for their career......
We are still struggling with teams pressing us, we aren't keeping the ball well at all! Hernandez has offered nothing tonight up top.
Yea that other guy makes out we got the right amount defenders, 2 injurys to that back line and we have a problem
I agree they are looking decent under Brenton but I also feel that we are kinda making them look better than they are tonight with our silly errors.
He hasn't been bad imo, but he's been a bit ... i dunno out of place / on a different wavelength. Not doing enough to get involved i guess.
His tackling hasn't been good either.
Most of its just a lack of familiarity i guess.
Welbeck brings so much to the team that a lot of fans don't appreciate. If he can get his finishing to match the rest of his play he's going to be one hell of a player!
Give over…because we are not pissing all over Liverpool and had a bad 20 minutes?
You're in for a tough season if that is your response to a performance where both teams are playing about average.
United have been okay. Had a few opportunities and a lot more of the possession. Liverpool have also been good but a few players are letting United down in this match.
Where's the dunk showdown between the two team mascots? This is not murican enough!
At least it will make LVG think twice about transfers.
Watching us last season should make LVG panic buy.
football has moved from the days of Inzaghi, no other top team plays with a specialize poacher anymore because when the ball inst in the opponents half its like playing with 10 men
Fog's back 
If only English players could be loaned abroad more often, Jones would be the first to go across the Chanel so he can learn how to keep both his feet moving. Ship him on loan somewhere to Germany! (Just a personal wish)
Herrera is so Scholes, you don't have to look beyond his tackle to know that
looks like M Keane and Blackett coming on
Pace is needed, its clear tbh. Henandez has the most immaculate attacking positioning but his finishing has been poor for quite a while now.
Keane and Blackett getting subbed in sums up our back three.
lol Sky, saying United have "only" played Inter, Roma & Madrid so they aren't used to Liverpool o.O? Am I taking that the wrong way or does he think those 3 teams are below Liverpool?
There was also too much space between defense and midfield at most times. It's needs to be tight but perhaps the defenders are anxious to go forward a bit more out of fear for Sterling and his speed.
Hope we can come out better in the second half. We always seem to struggle against teams who press well, this is something LVG needs to rectify.
Feck it, just play the second half in a cloud.
FRICKING LASERS!
Liverpool hasn't really set the world on fire tho.
I wonder if van Gaal and Martin Garrix are friends. We should get him to do all our half times.
What the hell is happening?!
Why are those pundits mugging off our defenders? FFS, couple shaky moments and we need 3 fcking centre backs. Yes, they've looked a bit shaky today, but they were great against a high pressing Madrid side. We've just been a bit sloppy. I expect a better 2nd half.
Rooney's Hollywood passes out to the right hand side are infuriating.
Think Mata, Herrera have looked solid. Look confident on the ball. We just need a bit more confidence at the back, with regards to their ability to actually play football.
P.s There is no way Van Gaal didn't want Tony Kroos. Fletcher has been trying to do what Kroos did for Bayern all season and I seriously doubt Van Gaal would have passed an opportunity to sign a player of Kroos' ilk.
