Liverpool 0:0 Manchester United

Very surprise bailly has been dropped and I am not a fan of that decision either.

Martial must be on his last chance for starting

Cavani to come on and bully the feck out of those two pricks at CB.

This will make my weekend if this happens.

Nervous as hell. I was super confident up until today and now I'm not sure. Just hope we put in a big performance and don't crumble under the pressure. I would absolutely take a jammy 1-nil for us in a heartbeat.

Smashed a few volleys at the garden wall. Highly recommend it.

Why Victor and not Eric?

Maguire and Victor is obviously Ole's first choice CB pairing

No Cavani when Liverpool miss their CBs is amateurish stuff.

Also Lindelöf over Bailly is another stupid decision. But Ole doesn't know shit about rating CBs so I'm not surprised.

Let's wait and see eh.

Rozay · Jan 17, 2021

I can’t lie, I’m probably the biggest Pogba defender on here, but I wouldn’t have started him. Or at least not on the left. The opportunity to have Rashford on the left against Trent would have been a bigger threat for us, and also, I think we need to stop Trent getting forward too often, and I’m not sure PP is best suited for that.

I think he picks him because he gets along with him better, their Scandinavian heritage may contribute to that, so yes indirectly.

Agreed. I'm Swedish and I want Lindelof playing for Sheffield United. I think it certainly helps and makes him feel he can trust him more. Flabbergasting, our Brexit PE teacher is solely to blame if we lose this.

Amadaeus · Jan 17, 2021

Probably the best time to beat Liverpool.

Their defense is appalling. Will be surprised if we don’t score.

Exactly, their CBS will just love the static Martial.

Lindelof is an absolute liability. He's so slow. He can't jump, can't defend and he can't pass. He actually can't do anything really well. Bailly at least is fast, he can tackle and jump and he has heart. Lindelof ist just absolute dogshit.

Nah

Rashford Cavani
Bruno
Pogba - Fred - McTominay
Shaw - Maguire - Lindelof - AWB
De Gea

Think I had it spot on other than Martial over Cavani. We will pack the middle, absorb the pressure and try to catch them on the break.

Just relax. They have Henderson in defence and Shaquri starting, it’s not a team we shall struggle against

Should, not shall.

You're really talking nonsense. Your agenda clouds your judgement.

Obviously gonna be a diamond right? Why are sky lining up with Pogba on the right?

Not necessarily a diamond as it seems. I think the point is not to lose the midfield battle.

Hester_manc · Jan 17, 2021

I fear it is a mistake to start with Lindelöf. Bailly has played super lately, and better that Lindelöf normaly does. Solskjær puts a defender i great form on the bench.

I want to see a Klopp meltdown after the game "we lost because we had no CBs, they hugged too much, no fans, due to VAR, United spend to much, the wrong type of wind - feck it I am off to manage Germany... hate this craphole of a city anyway".. mic drop

Obviously I want us to win through skill so there's no case of "luck" getting us the win

But part of me wants us to get a dodgy VAR'd penalty in the 93rd minute that gets us the win, especially after his rant about our penalties lately...

If Bruno Fernandes can stop thiago from bossing the midfield I think we win comfortably

He will probably play off the left like he has a lot lately.

Infra-red · Jan 17, 2021

Alemar said:
How can a midfield of Wijnaldum, Tiago and Shaqiri be functional against high calibre opposition? Won’t they just be steamrolled through the middle?

I wouldn't have thought so. We will probably be following our usual big game plan of sitting deep and and looking to hit them on the break - Liverpool will have most of the ball.

Klopp and Guardiola often seem to go with pretty aggressive midfield selections against us, because the battle for possession is already won before kick off - the question is whether they have enough creativity to break us down before we can win the ball back and counter attack them.

Last chance for Martial surely.

Ole loves bit of Victor. Harsh on Bailly.

Cloud7 · Jan 17, 2021

Lindelof FFS

BFernandes · Jan 17, 2021

I really am at a loss why Lindelof is back in for this.

There's not a single reason he should be back in the team ahead of Bailly

I thin Pogba is the important link here - if he can keep the ball moving we should be in a position to win.

They might play split strikers.

I don't think ole will miss the chance to target TAA defensively.
