    Sick of this. Just getting so sick and tired of this. I'm a Louis fan, but I'm really starting to doubt. This is just pitiful. Again. Same stuff every week. If he doesn't change something very, very fast in this second half I'm going to scream.
     
    Also, what about Liverpool? I hope we never go away to a team we're competing with in the league and set up as depressingly defensively as that.
     
    Stats showing there's been no shots on target. Absolutely brutal.
     
    Can't believe how flat it is.

    BFS growing into the game. Hope he stays on. He has started moving up from his base position in the last 5-10 mins.
     
    I´m missing an appearantly great game in the Bundesliga because I watch this dull affair....

    Damn my sympathies for you guys :mad:

    Shoot a bit more, pretty please...

    Our manager is insane?

    He says he flexible but not much evidence of it today. Liverpool are tumescent and cautious. If we had someone out there with a bit of flair, we'd be winning but no matter who the opposition is or how they set up, United are firmly wedded to this philosophy nonsense. Play football for heaven's sake, not chess.
     
    This match should be brought up before the Geneva Convention for crimes against humanity.
     
    Shit on a stick. Different game, same shit. We've wasted yet another half doing feck all with all the back and sideways passes. Shaw has been the only player showing the urge to raise the tempo and actually fecking run at a higher pace. Liverpool are there for the taking and all we need to do is press more, yet we did it about 2-3 times in 45 minutes. They're shitting it when pressed and we're barely doing it.

    Memphis has been wasteful and annoying. He's had chances to create something after their mistakes, but has made shit decisions and Clyne has been very good against him. The Fellaini experiment has been utter failure and Mata has been outmuscled with ease almost every time he played with the ball.

    It's obvious that it's because of the tactics and I think it's safe to say we aren't winning any leagues as long as we value possession above everything else. We're playing slower than every fecking team in the league and waking up when it's too fecking late.
     
    Philosophy seems to be working. We are great in possession in our third and the middle third. Unfortunately, we haven't got a clue how to move the ball through the final third and create anything. We look as likely to score as a pimply faced freshman with the prom queen. How a club as "big" as Man Utd has as their back up striker Fellaini really says a lot about how the club has been run into the ground since SAF left. Mata is still not a winger. Memphis has shown nothing to hold down his starting spot over Young who you could at least expect to deliver some great crosses onto the head of Fellaini. I continue to find it increasingly difficult to waste 2 hours of my life watching this team. It has been and always will be a game of entertainment and we are anything but. Gotta be the slowest, most soporific NW derby I've ever watched.
     
    Like a testamonial minus the beer bellies and bald patches. And enjoyment.

    I would welcome my normal stomach cramping nausea at the sight of Gerrard's Neanderthal brow wrinkles at this point.

    Schweinsteiger and Herrera at the end of the first half typifying what's wrong with us: On the edge of the D, runners taking players away, neither tried to shoot, both opted for the shortest pass possible. Pathetic. We're trying to walk the ball into the net. Liverpool are playing poorly but they would feel hard done by not to leave Old Trafford with a point based on that first half.

    Then that is the manager. Those two players you mentioned have more flair than they are being allowed to show. It is all about controling the game with this manager.
     
    Martial is a better dribbler than any of the attackers out there.
    Bring on Martial and Young.
    Put Martial on the left Young on the right
    Mata in the middle
    Carrick can control the midfield on his own against this Liverpool side.
    The side which is braver will win this game.
    I miss SAF
     
    That was an embarrassing half for both teams.... it's like there's no one on the pitch for either team who are willing to lead with heart and courage. Fellas.... these are dark days for both of these legendary clubs. I'm so disappointed at what this rivalry has become.
     
    I refuse to believe that a midfield of Carrick, Mata, Herrera and BFS is not capable of creating more than this. I don't care if it's me upfront!
     
    Fellaini, in terms of positioning, despite being a striker, stills plays like a 10 which isn't a surprise as you don't just become a natural striker just like that. He doesn't have the instinct of one, his touch has been poor the few times he was in good position.
     
    This is the least Manchester United Liverpool game I've ever seen. Devoid of passion, endevour, class.

    LOL. I agree.
    At half time the FA should inform both managers that if this continues, they will be docked points.
    Maybe this would shock them into attempting to score a goal.

    To be honest I dont care how bad LFC are. I only care about us and we are terrible. We have so much possession and have zero shots on goal. Basically, this how we have been playing for the last 10 EPL games and its continuing.
     
    That chance Fellaini got from the mistake by Mignolet, RvP would have buried that.
