I can't find any excuse if we don't beat a team with Mignolet, Milner, Klavan, Lovren and Trent-Arnold in defense. Rooney and Rashford on soon

We need to wake the feck up. Not enough intensity. Pogba, well, he can't get worse, let's hope he comes out with his head screwed right.Same old same old wasteful shite going forward and a couple of brain farts at the back. Why anyone thought this would be a cake walk is a mystery.Rocket at HT. We need to play at a higher tempo to get around their pressing, especially as they tire.
Nightmare from Pogba though, he needs to snap out of it.
Wtf? Martial has been marked by three players and has done quite well with his combinations with other players. The only one showing any creativity and imagination. He's lost the ball less than Mkhitaryan despite being marked by more men.
I think our players were looking to get in at half time, for Jose's team talk.
They do look a little lost, right now.
We've had two really good opportunities, Zlatans freekick was denied by a very good save. Quite clearly, despite not playing anywhere near our best we are still creating.Not looking up for it at all.Huge 2nd half coming up, this match is really must win for us.Jose has to put the spines back in these players at half time. Every single one of them has turned into jelly. Fecking horrid half.
Martial is having a decent game...he can run the left if he gets some time....there are three or four on him with every touch.We need someone who can press up front not a targetmanm
Ibra for mata/rashford up top. Rooney for Carrick.Most of our team have been passengers in that first half. Pogba is having an absolute mare and needs to come off.Making an average Liverpool team look good here, they run around a lot granted but not a great deal of quality in this side and yet we've looked terrible.
I agree. 3-1. Mata (2) and Rooney.Mata needs to come on. He has the composure and will calm us down. We're not building anything offensively.Saw this coming all week. I doubt we'll create much in the second half and I think they will probably get one more on the counter.Bring on Mata and Rooney. Go with a 3-5-2We need to be more direct and get on the end of the second balls.They have dominated play but we have 2 clear cuts chances and are down to a penalty which we would never have got. I have lost count of the amount of times we have been denied clearer penalties.FFS people need to cheer up.
We were the better team throughout the half and only got undone by a daft handballPogba showing he can't play against anyone other than mid table and relegation candidates again. Martial the only player who looks dangerous for us.
Quicker passer of the ball, more mobile, makes better runs.
Pogba wants an age every time he gets the ball to shrug three players off and play a Hollywood ball to the wing. He's also lost his head a bit and was lucky not to be booked.Absolutely atrocious. Yet again on a high pressure match, our players are shitting themselves, and there is no way that it is a coincidence. From the moment I saw that we were refusing to press and to play in our natural way, I knew that it will be like this.
Pogba has been by far the worst player on the pitch, and I have no idea how Mourinho is not tired of this types of setup. For crying out load, they are shit, and that defense is not EPL quality, but yep, we have to be cautious.We're shooting ourselves in the foot. Why did Martial pass it all the way back there? What was Jones doing? What the everloving feck was Pogba thinking?
Pogba has been awful anyway. He either needs to get his shit together or we need Mata.
We gifted Liverpool the lead and we keep missing our chances. Not that we create a lot.Pathetic.
I said before the game no complacency and put the game to them from the first minute, so far we've done the opposite.
Pogba plays his worst ever half for us infront of these twats, typical.Liverpool are shit. Martial, Pogba and Carrick have been shit. Referee is shit.Frustrating game with a whole lot of stop starting and fouls. Very scrapping, though I would have to say United were the slightly better team in the first half. We created the only real chances in the game, but failed to take them. Where Liverpool have only really been dangerous from our own scrappyness and a stupid penalty to give away. We need to calm down and get the game under control. Early goal and we are right in it.Very frustrating. We are cutting them open easily yet gifting them their opportunities.
Mingolet with two very good saves and Pogba with a poor miss. We should be level.Not the greatest half ever. Liverpool's pressure and narrow midfield is nullifying Carrick, Pogba & Herrera meaning theres a lot of hoofing going on up to Ibra from Jones & Rojo. Need to get the ball out wide to Mikhi and Martial more or have Valenica overlapping as much as possible.
We have never been the greatest in dealing with sides that constantly pressure us all over the pitch. Even in the Fergie days.Pogba future Captain?????
Terrible performance from us, there isn't one midfielder in a red shirt playing as they should be. It's typical United again though make a couple of half chances that come to nothing, play Mkhy in who cocks it up and gift a stupid goal.
Herrera and Mkhy off for Mata and maybe Rashford I'd go for.
If we can improve even slightly I agree.Liverpool look fairly comfortable in midfield while we look lost. However, we're creating chances but not good enough (and the finishing is poor). Liverpool have been fairly lucky this half.Thought it was decent half.Had chances never took them.Expect to get back in this in the second half.Wtf man Pogba. Why do we always need tons of chances to score a goal? Start fecking taking your chances!Liverpool will tire in the second half.Mata and Rashford will turn the game once they come on.Shades of the Man City game, our only saving grace is they have created nothing.Nothing short of a shambles so far. An incredible lack of urgency. Our defenders are just stood there with the ball at their feet for 10-15 seconds before shifting it sideways, we're hardly even trying to create anything.
And then our attacking players.. losing every second ball, letting Liverpool's pressing comfortably get the best of them.
Someone please explain to me how Henderson, Can and Wijnaldum are bossing Pogba, Carrick and Herrera?- Status
