We need to prioritise a striker and a midfield partner for Ugarte if we have any budget in this January window. Hojilund is not good enough and Mainoo’s defensive game is lacking.
We have been decent thus far otherwizeAside from his header, Amad just hasn't been in this game at all. We need to find a way to get him on the ball more in the second.Fantastic to have secured the Not Losing at HT at Anfield trophy. Doesn't matter what happens in second half nowa forward and a LWB in January and we'll pick up form
What an agenda driven post. He has scored 23 goals in 18 months. He is no RVN but we have had many worse strikers at this club.
Just makes me think off that saying about a broken clock being right twice a day. Same for his shooting. It is almost always the wrong option.
His one on one miss against West Ham was one of the final nails in ETH his coffin. He clearly isnt a goalscorer and really shouldnt aspire to be one.We haven't played too badly and should be ahead bar the inept striker. Needed to take those chances they won't be that poor down that side next half
It'll make the inevitable collapse once Liverpool get one all the more infuriating.More of the same please.

By who?I love a bit of Oliver bashing, but that’s about as yellow as a yellow card gets
Yeah. That’s fair but the guy is still an arsehole.
We had two great chances to score?
RWB. He would do much better there.Probably could and should have scored 2 in that first half much better than I anticipatedEvery United player have been good in the first half. Maybe Amad has been a little out of the game, but otherwise.Defensively solid but offering nothing in terms of attack. Hojlund is useless. The rest are playing well.Very assured half. Gutting Rasmus didn’t bury that chance, he has to be putting those ones away.A competent, confident striker and we would be leading hereWe got to through a half of football
Good half from us minus the brain farts in front of goal.
Am pleased we're not playing like zombies. We're working hard but just can't fecking score.First time I see our players are so hard working and run their socks off! Respect!Makes a change for our players to be not cacking themselves with 25% possession.Very good 1st half. Can’t complain. Just so disappointing we don’t have something like a clinical centre forward as we definitely deserve to be 1 up. You don’t get many chances at this ground so just hope we don’t rue missing them.
Glad to be proven wrong so far. Team setup looks solid.Had a slightly better go of it going forward than I expected, a decent half.
However I'm sure we'll concede and Liverpool will be better in the 2nd halfGreat half, need to keep up the intensity. Liverpool will lift their game in the 2nd half.Mainoo and Ugarte are the future of this club. Brilliant performances from everyone though, they’re finally stepping up to the occasion. If only we could score.Best half at Anfield in some time I would wager and it’s a shame we’ve not taken one of those chances.
Gotta keep it going though because I think they’ll up it.Really enjoyed that. We look solid, everyone excellent defensively, couple of big tackles, Ugarte and Mainoo great, some invention going forward. If that Hojland chance had gone in, it wouldn't have flattered us. Mor of the same please.Very happy with how we are playing.
Our player have lost all confidence in front of goal which I'm not surprised by but it's a bit annoying cause we should have scored already today and we should have scored a few versus Newcastle.
The lads just have a mental block nowThe players are responding and we have clearly improved. Those Holjund and Amad chances should have been put in the back of the net.
Let's see what happens second half. Still a lot of questions, like if we go a goal down, will we collapse like a house of cards?Hoijund and Bruno are so poor. How many attacks between those 2 did they ruin?Mainoo is our weakness link, positionally and passing have been poor, players go past him with ease except for one sliding tackle he won.Good performance. Unfortunately Hojlund's been awful and the lack of a reliable striker remains a massive hurdle. We really don't have any alternative to Hojlund who's any betterAre we the game raising cnuties?
THIS.we CANNONT afford a slow start to the 2nd half.
He has a nice goal every season but wastes about a 100 shots to get that.
