Liverpool came for a draw and most likely they will get it, we aren't offering any threats nor we have the tools to do so.

Every time we move forward our players are more scared of losing possession than they are interested in creating something.I don't know who we are watching but it isn't Manchester United. Bored... bored solid. Again. and that against a truly poor Liverpool sideLove Mata, fantastic player, not a right winger.
Valencia or young on the right changes this game.Liverpool fans will probably be satisfied with a point after that display. It's a shame we're so far unable to capitalise on our dominance of the possession.The team looks terrified of playing a risky ball in the final third, and we still have zero movement. Fellaini stood an inch from the centre back, Mata getting in the way of Herrera and the midfield, and Memphis stood still on the touchline.Well that was fun.Van Gaal's Army is clearly from World War I.So who wins the shit-on-a-stick-football competition so far? I have to say Liverpool is edging it slightly.That was a painful watch.
I mean, our whole attack seems to revolve around Shaw and Memphis. One is brilliant but a fulback and the other looks like he's going to take sometime to truly shine at this level.Memphis should be subbed off for Young to relish him the pressure he's getting.
When you see the likes of Shaw, Schweinie and Herrera trying to do something it is obviously not LVG putting the shackles on. That is just lazy criticism for flavor of the month. Pretty sure Depay was not instructed to play as he is, same goes for Fellani - though that maybe due to lack of match fitness.Memphis and Fellaini : Useless, breaking up plays, and I don't know what they're even trying to do
Mata : Invisible bar a few pass
Luke Shaw / BFS / Carrick : MoM contention, at least for now
DDG : Solid footwork at the back
Oh, sloppy hererra, I don't understand what's the fuzz with him he looks lost
To be fair Memphis have been bad for few games alreadySame problem we've had all season, no service for the man upfront.Pass pass pass pass pass.Why does Memphis not pass it off? We want creativity and him to take the ball and run but he needs to do it at the right, maybe inexperience?
Regardless our biggest problem is Fellaini and we should bring on Martial IMO. Mignolet keeps catching the ball every time we crossAnyone care to recommend some good movies to watch or something?How the feck has Lucas finished this half without a yellow. He keeps getting away with persistent fouling every time he plays against us.
Fellaini is never a No. 9. I'd like to see Martial instead of him.
Bet £100 win 20pCan't remember it ever being this flat against Liverpool.
The problem is that I'm bored. Of a bloody United-Liverpool match. Bored I tells ya.On the positive side , we press teams well as a unit. Memphis and Fellaini however have made sure we can do nothing with the balls intercepted in midfield.I try to be positive but Newcastle was awful and we couldn't score today Liverpool is awful and we can't score.. We are throwing points awayAnyone else wish we had Hernandez?
It's a process.Just two pretty shit footballing teams having smock about really isn't itThe Fellaini experiment has not worked as planned
Mephis is taking too long to pass the ball
Schweini is making to many flicks
Shaw and Darmian the best players on the pitchWhat utter crap. This is a Man Utd v Liverpool game right? It's pathetic. I am amazed the crowd didn't boo that off. I'm lost for words. LVG out (win, lose or draw).Looks like Young is coming on at half time. Out on the pitch warming up.Louis van Gaal's Red Army
Louis van Gaal's Red Army
That's right yeah, Louis. You're a mighty man, shure.
Genuinely wouldn't mind that. Memphis is getting frustrated and maybe his immaturity is highlighted in his lack of ideas right now.
But I hope we bring Martial on at some point.I think we can describe this performance so far as very formulaic. We are so quick to play safe it's costing us.
A few times near the end there, I hoped for a shot or a moment where someone would try something, even if they lost the ball. Try something. Try to score.
I remember reading van Persie's quotes regarding Ferguson: "Do something, try a 40-yard pass, put me on edge. Excite me." Along those lines. It's just not happening right now with our regimented style.
It is confusing because we have so many creative players but we play in such a boring way.Martial needs to come on, surely. Same with Young. Just fecking do something, Liverpool have come closer to score on themselves then we have to score v themIt's like a parody of possession football. If there was a match a little craziness and positive footie was needed, it was in this one.Bring on Martial. feck it, bring on Romero upfront.
He's too much muscle for me. Although someone said he is built more like a 100m sprinter. Therefore you would expect him to have a burst of speed.
I spent five minutes cleaning my mouse, around the half hour mark.
Especially considering we sold three.
A couple of poor touches here and there wouldn't have made it a better watch at all. I'm sorry, if you think the Rooney of today would have made the game any watchable, then I don't know what to say.Yet again, the only player making attempts is Shaw. Memphis is like Valencia: he gets the ball, dithers around and the passes back. No one even tries to exploit the spaces that are open. This is sh*t.Domination of the ball. But it's pointless domination. Take a shot! Put it in the box!
Two teams look completely terrified of losing. An away draw at OT is a good result for most sides so I think Liverpool will be a little more pleased than us.This is so dire as feck I opened up my laptop to check for NFL odds for tomorrow. Say what you want about him, atleast with Steven Gerrard there was some semblance of rivalry to this game. Now this is a merseyside derby with not one outfield player born in either Liverpool or Manchester. So its just another overrated fixture drummed up for fans.- Status
