Please tell us what is he saying....

Talking about Liverpool playing beautiful football but's it's the route one flat-track bullies that are in the lead. He did say "it hurts me to admit that they deserve the lead" but was not going to give anyone any credit other than Liverpool! There was more, but it was just boiled piss, and I was simply laughing too much to care whatever it was!

Rashford shouldve been booked for his first goal celebration. Should be off for 2 yellows.

I'd pull him for Lingard in this situation .

And move Sánchez to the left, maybe. But not just now, after Rashford tires. Hope he doesn't do something rash.

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

Never have those words been mentioned in the same sentence let alone in that order!

Red Star One · Mar 10, 2018

Lukaku is quite amazing. I’m so proud of Rashford too. Just keep going.

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

Not in the slightest. It’s the most effective tactic against Liverpool’s press.

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

You've been sloppy all over the pitch imo. Loose touches, loss of concentration and lack of fight. I'm surprised how bad you actually were, to say that you were still looking threatening so imagine you'll have a better 2nd half and come out stronger. You get the next goal and it's game back on.

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!

Agree with that. Rash needs to be a bit careful

Scarecrow · Mar 10, 2018

I'd sub Rashford soon though, as much as I want to see a hattrick. Can't risk getting a red here, plus he's done his job already. Can't imagine they'll lose him for a third time.

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

Absolutely

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.

History isn't on his side in that regard I'm afraid.

Has Lukaku ever scored against this shower?

He will today! Soon, in about 10,20 minutes....to 45...

Minimalist said:
Just remembered I put 2-2 down as my prediction.

Uh oh.

shhhhhhhhh

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

Don't you think Lukaku has usually appeared pretty laid back, quite a docile character? Recently he seems to be grasping he is playing for Manchester United and is really fired up. Good to see.

TsuWave · Mar 10, 2018

Umtiti and Bailly

Sanchez will always give the ball away more than others because his 1st thought when he gets the ball is to make something happen. I'd rather that than another safe player. As the players get used to him he will be awesome.

It's not that, i thought he was too slow with the decisions which allowed a Liverpool player to get close and stop him. Been weak when trying to track back as well, always 1 idea behind the player with the ball.

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

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

Savage. Luckily it's not 1 degrees!

Walters_19_MuFc · Mar 10, 2018

Superb half!

Unlucky not to be ahead by more.

Two fantastic finishes by Rashford, who has been outstanding.

Cliche Guevara · Mar 10, 2018

Ban said:
Come on now. That's harsh. SO what's your solution, to sell them?

I don’t think it is. Rashford has been superb covering at left-back when needed and has still scored two goals.

McTominay has been excellent in midfield, closing down space, anticipation and putting in tackles.

My view is that’s what Jose wants from Martial and Pogba and I hope they can learn to do it.

crossy1686 · Mar 10, 2018

Lingard on in the second half to wrap this up anyone?

So if we're flat-track bullies and are leading what are Liverpool. Relegation dross?

Wilt · Mar 10, 2018

Would love to see a Lukaku goal second half

Souness gives us credit for anything?

He was actually quite fair a HT. said we’ve been better defensively and in the final 3rd, was clearly pissed off at Lovren for getting bullied!

bosnian_red · Mar 10, 2018

Bailly is light years ahead of our other center backs. Great to have him back.

Which makes absolutely no sense. We have played far nicer stuff all game. Liverpool have done absolutely feck all, save for a decent spell of pressure in the last 10. Even then, they created nothing.

Dunno if I can watch the 2nd half

Agreed. Glad about Scott too.

This is hurting Sourness. Backhanded compliments left right and centre.

What's he saying? Luckily we don't have him in our studio here

Not 30-40 but 15-20 certainly.

20-30 maybe.

He doesn't mind riding the line, which I think is needed in these games.

Mourinho haters are hoping for Liverpool to come back.

True Man Utd fans, ey?

Ban said:
I think he had time to control it and shot.

In my mind it was too high at best he would have got a chest or shoulder on it waited for it to come down then control it an move it to open up for a shot by then keeper saves it or the chance is gone or someone covers

This is what happens when you're a gnome!

redshaw · Mar 10, 2018

Decent half. Was going to post before kick-off saying we'd go 2 up amongst all the gloom.

We need to be a bit better when we have the ball though. We're letting Liverpool back in too easily.

crossy1686 · Mar 10, 2018

Why is there an agenda to get Rashford sent off instead of enjoying the fact he's on for a hattrick?

iKnowNothing · Mar 10, 2018

Ban said:
What's that all about?

Just a bunch of miserable Liverpool supporters on commentary feeling miserable after the performance by United.

Utdstar01 · Mar 10, 2018

Are Sky absolute jokers or what? :lol:

pathetic.

Kag · Mar 10, 2018

Are Sky serious with those Rashford clips? Jesus.

Cliche Guevara · Mar 10, 2018

Oh let’s focus on Rashford should have been sent off now, shall we?

feck off.

kouroux · Mar 10, 2018

Janson said:
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.

Chances ĺike that created from long balls to Lukaku ? I don't think so. Usually it is hoof it to an isolated Lukaku

Irrational. · Mar 10, 2018

SkySports pushing their agenda to get Rashford sent off. Fecking hell - "nudged the ball away".

He definitely needs to be careful in the second half.

Thats a great misrepresentation of what he said.

He said united have been aggresive and direct. Both true. It wasn't a criticism, remember how he was as a player. He said liverpool played pretty football (true) but had nothing to show about it.

And he said united deserved the lead.

Hephaestus · Mar 10, 2018

Sky trying so hard to create some controversy. fecking hell.

OutOfTowner · Mar 10, 2018

The first ten minutes or so should be a big indicator as to how this match is likely to pan out. Stay resilient like we were and Liverpool will find it increasingly difficult to break us down. I do hope we get a third though. Conceding early will see us struggle to see out a win while getting a third will almost certainly see us home.
