Liverpool are obviously favourites all things considered and are probably due a win against us but Everton could consider themselves unfortunate they didn’t get a point there a couple of weeks back so just a reminder we aren’t playing Brazil 1970 chaps.

Missing Gomez and Matip for this and now it looks like Trent Alexander Arnold is out too. I imagine Milner will play RB with Lovren (if he's fit) at centre back.
Not the time of year to be getting a load of defensive injuries. I think there's only one thing for it... Klopp needs to sign De Ligt on January 1st
We are about as much a threat to them as Everton are now. Sad state of affairs.
I don't care what current state we're in, there is absolutely no excuse to WANTING to get hammered off Liverpool. You've disgraced yourself, you can't call yourself a United fan. It's a good job public hangings still aren't a thing...
Form is rarely an indicator of how these games will go. All about who wants it more on the day. A draw will most likely be the outcome if United play well and Salah is kept quiet again.
Good thing that the only job they will have in the match is to defend a traffic cone.
The best way to resist us is to attack but if Mourinho will set you up like he has done in his last two visits to Anfield, I can't see you coping with the pressure throughout the entire game, nor can I see you scoring on a rare counter attack.
Lovren playing gives you a great chance to nick a few though
I hope we go with this.
De gea, Dalot, Smalling, Jones, Young, Matic, Herrera, Mata, Lingard, Rashford, Lukaku
Are you saying Lukaku is like a traffic cone? I think that's a bit unfair. A traffic cone can be moved and it's usually useful for it's purpose
You want Jones to play?I can feel it's either a 0-0 or a 0-1 with a jammy goal in the 94th minute from you all.a dull 0-0 on the cards. we'll sit and not try anything but frustrate them. they'll not create much.
He is more comfortable than Bailly and Smalling on the left side, and I'd rather play him over Rojo.
He maybe more comfortable but the guy just has too many mistakes in him. I think Bailly, Smalling is the way to go.Got a ticket for Sunday so not looking forward to going! Predicted a 3 0 defeat for us, really hope I’m wrong!!
Wow hang on that's bang out of order... actually let me just check what he wrote...
... yeah fair play, carry onIt'll be 0-0 til the 94th minute and then they will get their usual lucky late winner, as always.
That's if we don't get tonked before half time. Either way it's not gonna be good.
To be fair that scenario sounds one of the most positive....that would mean we're not completely outplayed and battered?Did my mixed team on BBC as honest as I could and had 3 United players. Bad times
That was very, very mean. Lukaku is also useful as a random generator and completely unpredictable. A nightmare for Klopp's tactics. Shame on you!
Random as in you have no idea where the ball will go when he attempts to control it?
You could exclude certain areas though, i.e. anywhere within a three feet radius.
Exactly!We pretty much never play well at Anfield, and even if we were currently 1st in the league I'd expect this to be a scrappy game. I'm secretly hoping we can bullshit our way to a 0-1 victory or somethingThe best way to resist us is to attack but if Mourinho will set you up like he has done in his last two visits to Anfield, I can't see you coping with the pressure throughout the entire game, nor can I see you scoring on a rare counter attack.
Lovren playing gives you a great chance to nick a few though
The best way to play you last season was to have a deep line. That was proved by you being totally nullified and not many teams seemed to realise it. Now you're nowhere near as lethal the best way is to come out to play. Hopefully Jose and the players see that.
Not meant to diss you but I don't think you have the attacking firepower and cohesion to trouble us as much as other top teams like City and Arsenal do when they have an attacking game plan. That could change with Lovren in the picture and TAA questionable though, so we'll see. Even then, I think if this United side comes out to play, you'll be exposed at the back and that will in turn benefit us as well.
Of course we're not on that level but if had enough to trouble Juventus we have enough to trouble Liverpool. I don't expect we'll play particularly well as such, as in that game, but you're not that great.
It could all be different on the day of course. You might go for the jugular and finish everything you get and it be 4-0 by half time, or we might actually turn up like we do once in a blue moon.—————-——DDG—————-

Fair assessment & how I see it as well. If we open up you’ll pick us off NQAT. So Mourinho will park the bus & go long to Rashford & Lingard who will have to do a LOT of running on Sunday...A 15 hour day starting at 7:30 on Monday, so I won't be watching this. (1am start here).
Let's hope I wake up to good news.Jones in defence, we're fecked

I think it's going to be a draw , easy monies!
