    I'd rather we don't play these players and get them 100% fit first, we are losing with or without them anyway.

    This game will be like last year when they literally destroyed us and every single outfield player had a shot against us. Unfortunately an embarrassment of that capacity will be done at OT this time, which will make it even worse.

    Really? I thought we played really well last year at home and was a last min tap in away from 3 points.
     
    I'm not dreading this match nor do I feel any sort of nervousness regarding our display.
    In some ways I'm sort of emotionally disconnected with United these past few seasons and yet,YET,here I am commenting (moaning) about them.
    Its a weird place to be in.

    I literally meant last year's game in December, which was also Mourinho's last match. The game you are talking about was this year.

    You're right, to be honest we probably could have nicked it through Chris Smalling in the last few minutes. The crowd were absolutely amazing last year.

    Well, we are home so there'd be much benefit talking about the same fixture last year. I think we'd surprise many here . We don't concede much and as far as i have watched, they have been very lucky to get 3 points in all their fixtures. Time luck turned for both the teams.

    I know as fans we have to support the club in good and bad times, but that is just wishful thinking.

    It would be great for us to beat them and turn the season around, but in reality, the chances of that happening are the same as me winning the lottery. And I don't even participate in it.
     
    Oh it's time got combined United Liverpool first 11, this year they're especially fun.
     
    Assuming our players return, I think the team picks itself. The only position that is up for contention is that third CM spot. We need to pick the least shit player out of Fred, Pereira, Matic, Mata and Lingard. It's like trying interviewing for a careers advisor vacancy but all the applicants are prisoners.
     
    If they're all fit for this then I'm cautiously optimistic tbh. Might be a blinkered belief but I genuinely do think when all are fit, we can be pretty good and definitely top 4 level. The problem is we have no depth whatsoever (which isn't the problem if they're all back actually!). Anyway, expecting/hoping for this... Obviously not thrilled about Lingard, but such is our squad. Would put Pogba as the most advanced midfielder if Fred was in any way decent, but this way we can play on the counter with all the pace.

    Rashford - Martial - James
    Pogba - McTominay - Lingard
    Shaw - Maguire - Lindelof - Wan Bissaka
    De Gea​

    I'm little optimistic about our chances when Martial and Pogba get on the field together. I want to see us how good(or bad) we are at full strength. That's the only thing holding me in the keep camp for now.
     
    Isn't Pogba still wearing a bloody cast?!

    I wouldn't risk him. This game for me is a guaranteed loss, I'd rather we kept him in cotton wool for the games that follow that are relatively winnable in comparison to this one.

    Thank goodness you're not connected to the club in any way. Just wow.

    We've had 2 games full strength. Beating Chelsea, and being unlucky to only draw at Wolves.
    It's not quite as "woe is us" when we actually have the best team out. It's just how rarely we do!

    If I was - as a full-blooded realist - I would certainly be trying to make some proactive, realistic changes to this sideshow.

    You think we can win this? Just wow. We cannot even beat teams like Newcastle right now, stop believing in Santa Claus and try a bit of realism for once. I'm assuming you're an adult.

    Hopefully we can scratch a 0-0 because for damn sure we aint getting a goal.

    Yes, thats the sad part.
     
    0:3, and they'll switch to second gear after 60 minutes. In my opinion we shouldn't risk Paul's long-term health in this match, let him recover properly. There's nothing a half fit player (even one of PP's class) can do against Liverpool right now. Just take the inevitable beating, sack Ole and let Allegri start building the team around our best player.

    That’s just Sky Sports for you. Usually, they at least try to stick a few players from the weaker opposition in such as Maguire for Matip or McTominay for Windjalum - but they’re so far up Liverpool’s arse they’re loving the opportunity to ridicule us. feck em

    Let's see if they're laughing so much when we become the first team to take points off them.

    Beginning to get the same feeling.

    Klopps cowardly approach to games at the OT is woefully understated.

    Last year we were dropping like flies, & basically down to 10 men with Rashford on 1 leg; he bottled it.

    Sneaky feeling we’ll draw this, conceding in the second half after a goal from nothing in the first.

    This might upset some people but Matip has performed better than Maguire has over the last 12 months imo.

    I’d take Pogba over Henderson because we’re lacking a creative spark in midfield but it’s hard to argue with the rest at the moment. De Gea vs Alisson is a toss up.

    Not sure Jesse Lingard will be Allegri's cup of tea. Do they even drink tea in Italy?

    Love this team. Looking good on paper. Lingard is definitely the least dirty shirt compared to Mata/Pereira/Fred. At least Lingard can run headlessly, provide energy! Hopefully Pogba, Rashford and James to provide one magic or two and Martial nick his one or two chance. Our back four must be very solid. DDG to step up his game finger crossed.

    Nope.Jose struck fear into Klopp, his rigid tactics had Jurgens number. Absolutely no reason to fear a manager without tactics in general.

    We're getting murdered

    ???

    We’ve got no chance of winning so just give up before it even begins is your suggestion? Jesus.
