Top performance, we've been the best team so far. Scouse are so boring to watch.Could have been a lot worse .
Agreed - he just has something arrogant and useless about himSurprised that it is still level at half time. It has basically been all Liverpool so far. The whole approach needs a reset, and Lukaku needs to learn how to actually win a high ball, or at least contest them if we are going to persist with it. Or at least swap him for Fellaini as he can at least win them.Thought Bailly has been excellent so farWhat’s the deal with Lukaku? How the feck is he our main striker?
that would be great, but Jose seems to think we need a traffic cop up front like Lukaku, and a traffic warden in front of the defence.
that's because when he makes a run to get the ball Matic turns around and passes it backwards that happened more than once that halfAtkinson letting booking our players for soft fouls and letting go of Firmino stopping a break. Twat.Dalot getting a yellow for barely touching Robertson on the counter; firmino getting nothing after assaulting Rashford on the counter. Makes sense.
someone said he won a competition to play there
Was entirely predictable until Allison decided to help us out (thanks man). The goal destroyed Liverpool's momentum - let's hope they can't get that rhythm back because we are offering nothing.Lukaku and Lingard off please. Martial and Mata on instead.67 m worth of slippery hands.
In a back 3 he is the one who comes out of defense to break up attacks. It would also work great in a back 4 if he were next to a very composed defender.
One of the worst performers in the first half. He’s offering nothing at all. Tried to go round Robertson twice when it’s clear he won’t outpace him
Why may as well sub him for Fellani if that is our tactic (which it seems to be), he's have a far better chance of winning the knockdiwns for the on running Rashford and LingardGame has settled down for our benifit after their thunderous start. Still can go any way. Kudos to our players for sticking inIs this idiot of man going to bring Pogba in? We'll lose this game if we don't have a creator in midfield. When you look at Firminho plays than you look at Lukaku, you almost cry.
Maybe Young takes too much time everytime he throws it?Matic was invisible for 30 minutes but he has looked a bit better since the equaliser. Rashford has held it up quite well, Lukaku has at least put himself about and Bailly has been decent. Not the first time Young has switched off and not even reacted either.
It's embarrassing but they are streets ahead of us in every sense. Jose isn't capable anymore with his reactionary, negative tactics. All it has taken is for Liverpool to play a different formation and our tactics are redundant.
Hmm, Sir Alex hardly set up to win games at Anfield in his latter years. I think we have to accept we aren’t as good as Liverpool at the moment and a draw would be a good result. Allowing their front 3 the time to walk round us the score could get embarrassing. I’d rather come out with a point and they had 70% possession and see the Scousers moan we didn’t set up to let them win.We need to start sitting back and wasting time as soon as possible.Lukaku against VDV is like a training. If you are planning to go for aerial route then get Fellaini on. Else bring Martial on.We're getting away with this which has me optimistic for the second half, we can snatch something but how long can we go on sitting so deepI never saw Becker the comedy show when it was on air..
Looks like its back on tv now.Wouldn't mind a straight swap of Martial for Lukaku even though he did put a cross in that led to the goal. I can see Martial slotting one home.
Yeah the competition where we paid £75M for the privilegesomeone said he won a competition to play there
Yeah, it was such an obvious yellow card that. Incompetent.The way other teams move the ball about shows that they train in doing that. At United they never seem to train to keep possession and move the ball. Jose only trains to stop the other team from scoring and even that we now feck up. He has got to go now.Wonder if Lingard's clothing range includes glovesIf we want our striker to be able to take long balls in the air, hold it up and get others into play then playing Lukaku is pointless. He's never, ever been that sort of player and someone like Fellaini would genuinely be much better than him at it. Even if Lukaku wasn't in shite form anyway, which he is.
Even forgetting about their time at Chelsea, Mourinho has had Lukaku at United for well over a year now. How can he still think Lukaku is able to do what he's asking of him?
It's one thing for Mourinho to play shit football, it's another for him to play shit football badly.
Don't we all.
Great to have equalised. 16 points behind Liverpool. More like 16 light years.
Don't know how we survived the first 30 minutes but all to play for now.
Yeah he's not getting past Robertson, better to cross it first time.We don't need Lukaku at this game. Play some fecking mobile player in midfield instead.Do you think Palace would take Lukaku off us? The bastards paid £35m for Benteke.What bugs me about Lukaku is for all his muscle and size he’s got the strength of a 5 year old. He can’t hold the ball up to save his life
For all their possession, they haven't created much in the way of opportunities to be fair.
They aren't playing with enough width if you ask me. 95% of their attacking play is through the centre of the park, which is congested as feck.- Status
