Manchester United 2:2 Liverpool

the hea · Apr 7, 2024

The whole team has given up, everyone knows that Ten Hag is a gone in the summer so they don't even try anymore.

Sgreddevil · Apr 7, 2024

I think the boo is well deserved. Apart from first 5mins, we were in shambles. 0 attempt at goal for entire half at home is unacceptable.
I see whenever we have the ball in their half, their team closing down has been impressive and very often the ball was recovered shortly. This is the result of a well coached team that act as a team and players who diligently carry out the plan. We are seriously days and nights apart from their team. A new head coach is desperately needed to revamp the entire team play.

Didn't think we'd be anywhere close to getting a result, so this was expected.

Problem is Eriksen can’t run anymore. Bruno has been awful but he does run.

Agree. But we need someone holding central position and at least keep the ball. Fernandes have been giving them today all over place.

Hojlund poor. Granted the service is non existent but his hold up play is so weak.

If he plays in the way we want him to, then he will get dropped because he won’t be doing what the manager is asking him to do.

They're doing what the manager is asking?!???

I thought the issue was they weren't.

The first few minutes of the match we ate up that left hand side on attack. I don’t know what happened.

Oh yeah sorry I do know - we have a bunch of so-called professional players who don’t know what to do once we give the opposition a way in.

edgecutter · Apr 7, 2024

0 shots at home should be another sackable offence.

TrustInJanuzaj · Apr 7, 2024

Dalot is our only good player. He’s the only player in the entire team currently who has the desired mix of both athletic and technical abilities. Every other player currently has either one or the other and it shows in games like this because Liverpool don’t compromise on either very often.

We haven't had a single shot on goal so your solution is to take off Bruno, the most creative player we have?

I agree he is but if it isn't an ETH instruction to keep releasing the ball as quick as possible then he has been god awful.

He's 18 and following his managers instructions. It's on the manager.

It's the manager but the players have to adjust

manichester · Apr 7, 2024

It would help if this team had some structure, the players are not coached and play the same in every game no matter the opposition.

Result is clouding your mind. We were outplayed in that game.

We weren’t. Better team for chunks of the game… as were Liverpool

He is 18 though, his experienced midfield partner and the experience CB should be helping him.

I agree!

pauldyson1uk · Apr 7, 2024

Not a single shot on or off target, in the first half is totally unacceptable

That's really poor by Mainoo for the goal

Who?

Bruno Fernandes. We were hesitant to sign him for the longest time because he can't keep possesion and loses possesion cheaply

For?

Nobody, we need more men on the pitch.

MalaysianRed7 · Apr 7, 2024

Did anyone see Casemiro put the ball out for Diaz? He’s slow and pretty awful in all aspects of being a defensive midfielder these days anyway, but stopping the play for a Liverpool player faking injury would be a reason to get rid of him alone.

MrBest · Apr 7, 2024

2 subs needed immediately, mount for Bruno and Amad for Rashford.

Reasons, Bruno is losing everything and he has not tactical intelligence of how he is pressing. Amad has shown that he causes issues with the press, we could really use that right now.

Taking off your captain and highest paid guy will be the kick up the X the players need.

You're using stats though and the only stat the Cafe cares about is the shots against us one, no matter how close or near to goal they end up going.

0.00 vs 1.81 xG, incredible

We're missing Martinez and Shaw though. It's all forgiven.

Ali Dia · Apr 7, 2024

Bruno has been an absolute disaster. Look at the difference between Diaz and Rashford and this is Rashford actually trying these days… Just muck of the highest order

Though everyone, Bruno included, should be trying to shoot.

No way Bruno is superior to MacAllister.
Bradley is only breaking through but already twice the player of Dalot.
Garnacho vs Diaz is close but on the first 45 Diaz has it. I could go on, but it’s too depressing.

I mean Klopp is the main difference maker. It wouldn’t surprise me if Bruno or Dalot or whoever played for Klopp they would look unbelievable.

FrankDrebin · Apr 7, 2024

Amass on the bench and Amess on the pitch.

Sorry.

freddie the red · Apr 7, 2024

When is an interviewer going to put the hard questions to EtH and not let him spout his usual delusional claptrap at the end of the game?

Hughie77 · Apr 7, 2024

Onana great bye .. Mount wow.. what a bye he's been.. needed a CB didn't bye one got J Evans on a free ffs.. this is Manchester United ffs ..

Think you’ll find in the other ‘many games’ we’ve actually had 1 shot on goal in them.

Having pot shots and no shots, it's basically the same no ?

The only game in which we played good for 90 minutes was the Crystal Palace league cup game back in September. Over 6 months ago.

I missed that game.

Maybe if I stopped watching we'd be unbeaten title winners?

To be fair Bruno hasn't done anything right today. Needs to be hooked.

LDUred · Apr 7, 2024

Casemiro's performance here makes Amrabat's signing even more catastrophic.

If Amrabat's not good enough to replace a player who can't run and who's played two games in short order, how bad can he be?

Just sick of ETH at this point. He hung on to the last minute of the window to sign someone he won't play.

Maureen-yo · Apr 7, 2024

Did the fans boo them off? I almost feel like a show of fan discontent will encourage Ineos to take action.

14 shots to 0.. that says it all.. this bunch have given up.. they've done it to Jose, Ole , now ETH , maybe its about time we wake up and see wtf is happening here..

Eth I liked until he bought rubbish ..

But they haven’t given up. Clearly. They are all busting a gut. There’s just no idea or decent plan on how to play. It’s our first choice midfield and attack and we havnt had a shot on goal ffs

Who's the player most likely to give the ball away to Liverpool, go on.

ETH what have you done to our team

You have our team playing without a plan, yet again being ran over midfield, and the posters in redcafe are fighting each other

Shame on you

SirMattlives · Apr 7, 2024

Really hard to see the plan here and I understand the frustration many here have with Ten Hag. Everyone points to our gaps in midfield and the ease with which other teams can create chances. Everyone predicted this game as the same. So what is the manager doing? What is McLaren contributing here....it's really difficult to understand their thinking when everyone and their dog can see we simply can't get going in this manner. Still, I'd settle for a jammy couple - I really do not want Liverpool leaving here today with all the points.
