Liverpool Next

I was at that match. Really 4-1 was a harsh score on the day - United played some good stuff but Liverpool got the breaks - they were good too and Vidic had a mare!

This Liverpool team will be 2-0 up after 15 mins next week. They will press like feck and United will implode.

I distinctly remember Vidic getting turned inside out, 1 on 1, for the first goal I believe. Then he proceeded to just go off the boil for the entire game.

A scrappy draw or win does more damage in the long run. He has to win convincingly and I don’t think any of us believe that’s a possible outcome.

A Liverpool pasting would likely be the silver lining scenario, but that’s why I have this nagging feeling Liverpool will take their foot off the gas once they’re comfortable, do enough to get 3 points & keep him in the job. Then the cult of Ole will come out with “Liverpool are a great team, no shame in losing 2-1.”
 
5 at the back, players will get up for this, there’s no chance we’ll concede four again. Can see 0-0 or 1-0 win either way.

If we get a drubbing, he’s gone.
 
Last year Ole would have won this and inevitably turned around some bad press. This year I think his luck has ran out, particularly with fewer pens being awarded.
