Manchester United 2:1 Liverpool

Paul_Scholes18 · Mar 10, 2018

Very good half. Rashfords first goal is brilliant! Mourinhos defensive football work well now once we got that first goal. Still feel nervous about us messing this up.

? He's been extremely good defensively and kept Salah quiet.

Defensively he's been pretty good touch wood! He's given the ball away a fair bit though.

Souness will be disgusted.

Carragher at least can be objective (I think).

Souness barely able to stop himself from calling us rags, talking about parking the bus, lucky goals etc.

Irrational. · Mar 10, 2018

Alexis off for Lingard or Fellaini please. It's clear he's struggling with a knock, and with confidence.

NecssryEvil · Mar 10, 2018

Just stopped by to see why we suck despite leading 2-0...

What say you Caf?

I know, and it's a positive move, but I see people gaming that situation (especially in CL competition, not specifically Milner).

An image of Busquets peaking through his fingers comes to mind.

I broke a kids nose by clearing a ball. The pros can smash a ball incredibly hard so doesn't surprise me.

Yeah, he took that right off the ear too. Had to be ringing like hell.

ash_86 · Mar 10, 2018

Lukaku has been bullying both CB's. Rashford brought his shooting boots today, very mature performance

Jacko21 · Mar 10, 2018

Brilliant.

Would like to see us have longer spells of possession, if only to reduce the number of attacks Liverpool can build. By the law of averages, they’ll get one or two good chances in the second half.

Mourinho’s got their number though.

saivet · Mar 10, 2018

Good half. Want to see more of Alexis in the 2nd

SwansonsTache · Mar 10, 2018

McTominay is starting to convince me, we might have another one on our hands here

Does xG take into account the player as well?

The disparity between xG and actual goals scored/saved does.

whatwha · Mar 10, 2018

This is excellent. Happy to see McT doing well and Lukaku dominant in a big game!

Number1 · Mar 10, 2018

Scott McTominany is brill - Southgate is at the game today, i was him I'd be on the phone, promising him a spot at the World Cup, he's exactly what England need.

There's still time while he's not played for Scotland yet.

Also Rashford's turn for the first goal

Ryan Bobson · Mar 10, 2018

Great half , fingers crossed

groovyalbert · Mar 10, 2018

Next goal is huge.

I bet the Mourinho haters are secretly fuming inside right now.

Absolute bollocks

I dislike him, but this has been a perfect performance so far.

"Rashford will only be a Welbeck level player". Some arseholes on this forum had their arses handed to them today.

This is all Jose.

Jose's done well today so far tactically, no question about it.

That was far too easy.

Showing the gulf in class between our respective midfields and defensive units.

Should be 3-0 though and guaranteed they’ll come out relieved they’re still in it.

I think VVD should have scored. Free header.

haram · Mar 10, 2018

That boy Rashford!!

2-0 HT! Brilliant performance from the boys! More of the same for another 45 minutes please.

Goal before 60 and I just might relax :lol:

RoyH1 · Mar 10, 2018

Good first half. Sober, effective football. Let the possession merchants rant away.

Janson said:
I don't see much of a difference from our usual tactics. Main difference is that we have taken our chances on the counter. I don't think we would have been looking so confident in possession, had we not scored early.

The main difference is the support Lukaku is receiving whenever a ball is passed to him. Compare this with the Sevilla game for instance.

YouOnlyLiveTwice · Mar 10, 2018

Tactical masterclass from Mourinho. Liverpool never looked threatening apart from one corner.

2cents · Mar 10, 2018

So gutted Mata didn't hit that one cleanly, would have been one of the most memorable goals ever seen at OT. Never mind, that's as good as we've played in about seven years.

AN17 · Mar 10, 2018

What a half. Completely nullified Salah and co, we look sharp in our attacks. More of the same please.

I feel so much more confident in our defence when Bailly is in it.

Our most important defender by some distance. We've missed him massively.

Wonderful commentary on NBC from arlo white

“What do OUR centre backs need to do to deal with lukaku”

@GifLord can you make a comparison between Rashford first goal and Ronaldo v dynamo Kiev?

Kag · Mar 10, 2018

Lukaku has been brilliant this calendar year.

No real chances, as per, but he's such a handful for defenders.

Janson · Mar 10, 2018

So how many of you are disappointed that we scored both goals from hoofball? :lol:

AP88 · Mar 10, 2018

4-2-3-1 was never to be problem; Pogba is.

Remove the mercenary misfits, and Mourinho’s machines function perfectly.

Not sure about the knock, but he's been harassing them non-stop. He works his way into games. Certainly don't want to see him off for Fellaini.

matherto · Mar 10, 2018

We've been clinical, effectively.

Been good defensively but we need to be careful of going deeper and deeper.

Content so far.

GaryLifo · Mar 10, 2018

Game far from over yet.

Huge concentration and discipline needed second half. They get one goal at any stage and it'll be a real battle.

Ban · Mar 10, 2018

Lukaku got on his knees when Marcus scored the 2nd. :lol:

They have both been immense.

Not sure if joking, he's selected Scotland.

Cliche Guevara · Mar 10, 2018

If Sanchez can turn it on second half we could really be motoring here.

But he wants to play for Scotland and has declared in the last week.

iKnowNothing · Mar 10, 2018

Brilliant performance by the lads in the first half.

The commentators on my NBCSN stream were so annoying - kept saying "us" to Liverpool team and kept repeating "long ball" for any ball that was airborne. Fecking stupid and I enjoyed their misery

Wouldn't have said that if TAA went down from Rashford's silly tackle on a yellow. Let's hope he thinks before he rushes into challenges in the second half!
