Yeah but the stats will show DDG had shots on target to save because of those efforts like Firminho's from outside the box. It's why I don't like reading into certain stats too much.

xG accounts for that.

 

[Kag]

Our attitude and focus has been absolutely first class.

 

[ha_rooney]

Terrific half. Keep it up!

 

[Utdstar01]

VDS needs to give DDG some pointers on commanding his area.

 

[LARulz]

We need an offside goal too so Klopp can moan about it for a year.

Imagine Souness going apoplectic

 

[Rado_N]

Well that couldn't have gone much better.

 

[Android1974]

I don't like him but this is a great performance from him tactically tbh. It should be easy to seperate the 2

I like him and this is a great performance from him tactically, but looking at the lineup and system, I wasn't expecting nothing like this.

 

[Tom Van Persie]

Excellent performance so far. Absolutely bullied them.

 

[Inter Yer Nan]

Love to see us park the bus second half since we know Klopp can't break it down.

 

[Maxii]

Perfect half, can’t ask for better than that

 

[OutOfTowner]

Can't wait to see what they are like in the studio.

 

[Sandyman]

2-0 HT! Brilliant performance from the boys! More of the same for another 45 minutes please.

 

[stretford_oslo]

Solid

 

[Bastian]

Young is our worst and best player.

? He's been extremely good defensively and kept Salah quiet.

 

[extincti fugax hominum]

Great first half from us. We can sit back and hit them on the counter but definetely should not park the bus and give the complete control of the ball to them in the second half.

 

[Irrational.]

Almost a 10/10 first half.

If only Mata had controlled that Sanchez cross instead of going for the spectacular

Now we just need to control them for the first 15 minutes of the second half and the game is as good as won.

 

[amolbhatia50k]

Mane got a run going but Bailly covered him. I liked the pace there.

 

[crossy1686]

In a week where Tottenham crumbled and people made excuses for Pochettino surrendering a 2-0 lead. Are people going to be as forgiving if it happens here to us?

Jose knows how to see a game out. Barring 2 penalties, Liverpool won't get anything from this game now.

 

[Murder on Zidanes Floor]

You can get a concussion from that.

I broke a kids nose by clearing a ball. The pros can smash a ball incredibly hard so doesn't surprise me.

 

[el3mel]

I'm buzzing.

Hopefully second half keeps on like that.

 

[DWelbz19]

Fantastic half. Lukaku is dominant for the third game running.

 

[Bobski]

If VVD is worth £75 million then Bailly is a £200 million player and Smalling might even be worth £100 million.

 

[spiriticon]

Imperious. fecking IMPERIOUS. Keep this up lads!

 

[Akshay]

Phew! What a half. Still think we need a 3rd early on in the 2nd to kill this off.

 

[Sara125]

Best we’ve played in a while

 

[Prodigy24]

I just hope to God that Rashford does not get himself sent off in the second half!

Brilliant first half and unlucky not to be up by 3-0! More of the same in the second half please!

 

[bosnian_red]

Brilliant half. Just wish Mata put that overhead kick away. Brilliant from everyone.

 

[iluvoursolskjær]

Brilliant half

 

[Minimalist]

Can't wait to see what they are like in the studio.

Souness will be disgusted.

Carragher at least can be objective (I think).

 

[Inter Yer Nan]

Excellent performance so far. Absolutely bullied them.

Yeah outclassed them really tactically and wanted it more than them. Their shite midfield has been shown up a bit here.

 

[#07]

Just keep it going. What more is there to say?

 

[SNes]

Our bus has held strong bring on the second half.

 

[Oddboy]

Really impressed with McTominay in that half.

 

[BenjaminP]

Baily is by far our best CB. We need to build CB partnership around him.

 

[Castia]

Great half, we’ve played well.

Baily is a class above our other defenders we need to keep him fit. Shoutout to McTominay too, he’s been brilliant. Rashford

 

[Traub]

xG accounts for that.

Does xG take into account the player as well?

 

[Drifter]

Very satisfying first half all round.

 

[amolbhatia50k]

Great performance off the ball that. Some nice moments in attack and clinical infront of goal. Terrific stuff!

 

[FireballXL5]

Martin Tyler's world has collapsed, United are winning.

 

[Ravelation]

This looks more like a typical Mourinho team, Mata and Sanchez have been superb.

 

[No Idea For Nickname]

Ok, come on ref, whistle HT will ya??
