Manchester United 2:1 Liverpool

squidoo · Mar 10, 2018

Lukaka will score today. Mark my words. Their defence has huge holes. He was clean through earlier if Valencia just slotted it into the huge hole.

Sly · Mar 10, 2018

Amazing watching full strenght Liverpool losing 2-0 (could have been 3) against that United 11 everyone was dismissing. Wonder what are the excuses that Klopp the total football manager has for the performance in the first half.

Has Lukaku ever scored against this shower?

Nope. Probably the first time he's played this well against them.

George Owen · Mar 10, 2018

Finally some direct attacking football.

I hope we can keep this level in the second half. The boys ran their asses off in the first 45.

Just remembered I put 2-2 down as my prediction.

Uh oh.

So it will be you to blame if we don't win.

mancan92 · Mar 10, 2018

Bailley is really a top class defender. We have missed him badly

He tried a nice thing but should have stopped the ball, he was all alone.

It all happened so fast did he have time before cover came in? My first instinct was that Lukau was on that position and I was just waiting for him to smash it in

If only Mata had scored! Great first half, keep it going lads.

Yeah, that was a very good chance. 3-0 up and the game was over. Having said that, Liverpool also missed a sitter, so it could be 3-1. It's all what, if's and maybes

A Sanchez goal in open play against this lot then I'm ready to meet my maker!

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

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

Didn’t really want to bring it up during such a brilliant performance, but Pogba and Martial wouldn’t have given us what we need today

Stretfordender · Mar 10, 2018

Same again reds, next goal is massive...

Loon · Mar 10, 2018

Think we were passing the ball better than Souness gives us credit for.

Well we've been awful and the inexperience of Arnold at RB has been exposed.
Hoping for a much better second half but we're not getting anything out of this

A lot can happen in 45 minutes mate. If you get a goal in the first 15 minutes of the second half then it’s game on.

Even when he fecks something up, he just goes and fixes it. Love him

kidbob · Mar 10, 2018

Also how beautiful is it that an academy player is the guy causing the ultimate damage?

Android1974 · Mar 10, 2018

Let's see how brave Klopp is going to be, if he risks a truly attacking sub, or if he's going to do a Conte and try not to lose by many.

Pity our bench today doesn't provide many options, but there's still Lingard's runs through the middle to tear them apart.

It feels spoilt to ask for more. But the cherry on the cake would be a good goal for Sanchez in the second half.

Call me greedy but I think Lukaku's performance deserves a goal too.

TMDaines · Mar 10, 2018

Textbook so far against a dangerous counterattacking team. If Mata got the third it would have been nigh on perfect.

Keep doing what we’re doing and avoid losing the ball in most dangerous areas. No shame in the defenders going back to De Gea today.

was thinking the same but I have only seen him play vs them for everton for probably 5 games max and he was a waste of space mostly

One of them is causing ultimate damage, and another is stopping thier damage so far.

Souness gives us credit for anything?

anant · Mar 10, 2018

Wish it was 3-0. It would have given Pool hope that they can pull off an Istanbul. And then we crush their hopes by scoring 3 more in the 2nd half

M Bison · Mar 10, 2018

There’s more goals in this, Just hope it comes our way, scousers getting the next one would put pressure on.

I think he had time to control it and shot.

Minimalist · Mar 10, 2018

Ban said:

I do think it's fair to think about how we're pulling off counter attacks well enough without Pogba.

Random Task · Mar 10, 2018

A really professional and disciplined performance from everyone so far. Jose had a plan and our lads have followed it through to the letter. Defensively we look unbreakable, it will take a monumental effort on the scousers part to create something if continue with this system and all of our players perform to the manner on which they have thus far.

Also brilliant on the counter, Lukaku a consistant thorn in their defenders sides, Sanchez positioning himself perfectly in the hole and Rashford an ever-present threat off the right flank.

Cannot see Liverpool coming back from this unless Klopp pulls a strategic miracle out of the hat, which personally I believe he is incapable of. No, if anything I can see us extending the lead further still.

The game will end 4-1 and so will the scousers challenge for second place.

royboy16 · Mar 10, 2018

Well well well,who'd have thought we'd be two up going into the break.Vital we are switched on second half and don't concede an early goal.
Rashford's first goal was top class.

Janson · Mar 10, 2018

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

I don't think the difference is that big, we usually have chances like this in any game. We are just not that good at countering effectively, which is down to the players.

automaticflare said:
Sanchez has been poor I thought gave ball away very cheaply a couple of times but also envolved in goal and set mata up

Agreed. He needs to retains possession and look up more than making blind passes to no one.

meamth · Mar 10, 2018

Mourinho haters are hoping for Liverpool to come back.

I wish Mata scored. It's strange to have that much time and space in the box with no-one near him.

Dare I say it's very unSpanish of him not to take the ball down there. He's played well though.

Yes, he had a lot of time, didn't realize that he had so much time I guess

It's one game, happens every time, good game without some player and all those conclusions come up. I bet Pogba would be well up for it like the rest of the team.

ivaldo · Mar 10, 2018

Really got a brilliant defender in Bailly. McTominay having a great game too. These are the type of performances he should be getting praise for.

SteveJ · Mar 10, 2018

Jose was like Larry David in that clip. :lol:

Great first half from us.

His return massive for us. His absence has almost been like missing Rio or Vidic back in the day.
