    Set out to play poorly or are you putting everything on Bayerns shoulders?

    We were wasteful in the final third. Not clinical enough to score a goal and I don't think Bayern even came close to a goal, hence a 0-0 is the logical outcome.

    What chances did you create that you weren't clinical with? A couple of square balls played across the box that brought out some ohs and ahs?
    You were the home team and the onus was on you to attack. If you told me that was a final played on neutral ground I'd believe it.

    Bayern was perfectly happy to come for a draw but that doesn't do with the Liverpool is brilliant unfortunately.
    It was a pretty even, boring game. Both teams nullified each other.
     
    I hope every players and the fans will be really up for this. Perfect timing to ruin their season, RAWK will be so juicy if We win this.

    Preventing an away goal is equally as important imo, and we did that without any troubles. And yes, the Matip square ball, Mane's shot from close range, several second balls on the edge of the area which were wasted, ... come to mind. Like I said, if you're clinical you score out of those chances.

    Anyway, let's focus on the Utd-Liverpool game in this thread.

    I don't even remember the last time Liverpool won the league.

    I don't think a defeat derails us. We'll be back to relying on City to drop points though, whilst also hoping we maintain perfect form between now an May.

    Actually even a win doesn't really do much because we'll still need to be pretty much perfect for the rest of the season.

    I'm concerned that it will suit Liverpool to be chasing City instead of leading the pack. I'm hoping for an implosion more than anything though, can't handle this going down to the final game of the season.

    I dunno. These games have repercussions. I can still see Solskjaer getting a late winner in the cup against us.......

    Horrible that game. United were missing sitters all afternoon and it felt like it was our day.

    Don't get giddy.

    I miss that chap that only posted once a week in the matchthread: "Good luck Man Utd, be careful!"

    Filled me with confidence, he was like a lucky charm.

    (Stupid autocorrect didn't switch man+u to man utd then)
     
    DDG
    Young Smalling Lindelof Shaw
    Matic
    Herrera Pogba
    Mata
    Lukaku Rashford

    Think OGS will go the diamond as it has worked away from home very well vs top teams so far, no reason why it shouldn’t work at home vs Liverpool

    There was talk from OGS that they might be out but a few days later, reports started emerging that they would be fit. I think they'll play

    Very unlikely for both of them to play full games. Even if they are getting better, it might be too early to rush them and risk a longer injury layoff.
     
    No Young can be worse than it sounds. He usually excels in those games and has one or two dirty tricks up his sleeve. I'd also rather him vs Mane/Salah than Dalot, however talented he is.

    I thought Young was available due to the suspensions being competition specific rather than just domestic or European? I might be wrong though.

    I hope so, just going by what some people said on here. Doesn't really make any sense to ban a player for a PL game after the offence in FA Cup but hey.

    That's been the way for years but changed this season. You're right though, I never understood why it could transfer from one competition to another

    There is no way they can be called favourites. Liverpool are almost never favourites at Old Trafford: they won three league games at our place in the last 15 years. Their form isn't better than ours either.

    Of course they can win the game. I'm terrified they will. But they are not favourites, even with Martial and Lingard out.

    (I think the most likely result is a draw).

    Their current form isn’t better than ours.

    Look how vulnerable they were against West Ham

    Not worried about him at all.

    He’ll make a decision if he thinks he’s right and won’t be swayed by the occasion.
    We will scrap for everything and there’ll be tackles flying about. Oliver will be fine with it.

    They are bookies favourites by a fair margin tbf mate. Not saying I necessarily agree.
     
    Even having one of Martial/Lingard back will be a great boost.

    Game is coin toss in my view. Pretty nervous considering the stakes involved.
     
    ----------------------DDG--------------------------
    Young------Smalling----Lindelöf----------Shaw
    --------------------Matic-----------------------
    ----------Herrera----------Pogba---------------
    -------------------Mata------------------------
    ----Sanchez----------------Rashford------------

    SUBS - Lukaku (Sanchez), McTominay (Herrera), Pereira (Mata)

    Man United 1 - 1 Liverpool
    Rashford for us, Mane for them.

    Close end-to-end game with them slightly shading it in terms of chances and claiming they were robbed, led by Klopp banging his usual drum.

    Hmmm, you're right. Surprising. They looked blunt recently, their away record is not great and their record at Old Trafford is terrible.

    And just to clarify again: I'm not saying they can't or won't win, just that they shouldn't be considered favourites.

    Yeah the odds to seem strange. It’s a fifty fifty for me so thought the odds would be closer

    I guess that's kind of what I mean. They will 100% be seen as favourites by most of the media, who pretty much always go by league position and ignore everything else. But as you say they have a nightmare record at OT and we are actually in even better form than they are, hence why it would be a dangerous attitude for them to adopt.

    I think it does significantly hurt us to be without Martial and Lingard, though. We really need our best counter-attacking football, since I don't see Lukaku getting any change out of their back line.

    Statistically speaking you would be incorrect.

    We beat them and Spurs win their game in hand and the table will look like this:

    1. City - 65
    2. Liverpool - 65
    3. Spurs - 63

    Closest title race in years!

    Imagine Spurs suddenly winning the league :lol: Proper underdog
