Liverpool 2:0 Manchester United

Post-match discussion


Thu, 10 March 2016

Playing with 9 men tonight.. Fellaini is just bad and I miss the old Martial.
 
I genuinely want to start drinking.

Also if minus figures were allowed I would give Memphis minus 5 but as it is I will mark him 1 as that's the lowest, when adding the averages please count my 1 as a 0.
 
Things that are grim:

1. Liverpool beating us.
2. Liverpool deserving to beat us.
3. The time we've wasted on LVG.
4. The time we'll likely still waste on LVG.
5. Our best player likely leaving in the summer.
6. Our remaining players being what our remaining players are.
7. Hillsborough chants from the dickhead section of our fanbase.
8. Another leg of this shite to come.

For real?? Fkn hell.
 
We never play well at Anfield. But at least we manage to squeeze something out of it. Tonight as as bad as we ever been there.
 
What will happen is if we don't get rid of LVG right now then we will lose Dave who is carrying UTD on his own, I'd go as far as to say he has kept LVG in the job!
 
pile of shit

I take it my decision to stop watching this game after the pen was justified then haha

Meanwhile I've just sat through an awesome episode of breaking bad (I'm a little behind I know) meaning I'm not even angry From watching another gutless performance like the replies suggest here
 
I eventually found a bar that showed it. Had to bring the Mrs bc I knew I was going to getting pished (which I currently am) and needed a ride home. When I went for a piss the Mrs apologized for my language to the table next to us saying I have tourettes.

The game was a farce, a bullshit call and and offside goal. No excuses, we were shit
 
Liverpool's players are miles ahead of ours in terms of technical ability, plus they have team spirit of which we have none. Don't really know what else to say, we are a mid table side.
 
What was our tactical gameplan today? Absolutely got shat upon by a Liverpool side that is as bad as us. Only they got a manager we have a dinosaur!

God! Can't wait for the day we get rid of the fraud that is LvG!
 
I know I'm just a mere female, so can someone explain to me why Rashford who scored four goals in two games is put out on the wing, and Martial who has been used on the wing virtually all season is brought into the centre?

Not knocking Martial at all, but why interrupt Rashford's momentum?
 
DDG deserves a temple, a religion and Real Madrid, plai and simple. Had it not been for him, the score would so easily have been 5-0,6-0.
I never get what LVG tries to do. Using Schneiderlin and Fellaini as CM pair is a senseless decision. Schneid is a CDM and not a great forward passer, and Felliani is ahm...
There is no link with front 4 because of this. And if you want to use Fellaini (although not recommended) use him as a 2nd striker and play the long ball crap.
Mata and Herrera have been playing good recently and he has been tinkering with that since last week!
We just seem to alternate between possession and Long ball every few minutes and that is just illogical. Stick to one game plan.
And why was Sakho given the entire half to himself in the 1st 45 minutes!
And its funny to see Martial losing form as soon as he became our striker(Martial had a fairly simple chance), With Rooney, MArtial was wayyy better. It is LVG ruining them as well!!!
 
We looked like a pub team at times, that's not the first time I have said that this season either. We really are shit. What do you expect though when you start with Fellaini and Morgan as a midfield two, that is a terrible central midfield. Creating a chance these days is as hard as scoring a goal used to be, actually thinking about it, we used to score more goals than we create chances these days. Sigh, absolutely crap and depressing. I couldn't work out our tactics or game plan, we have gone backwards because at least last season we seemed to have a plan.

Because he for some fecking reason insists on playing Memphis up left and won't move him from there when he's on the pitch, so he'd have to put Martial up right who's terrible on the right so he moves him centre, therefore the least experienced one gets to play the hated right wing position.
 
We made them look good. Schneiderlin is possibly one of the worst cms I've seen play for us. He offers absolutely zero in all departments. Martial is not experienced enough to hold the ball up, was constantly running under the ball and no one bothered to break with him from midfield if he did by some miricale bring it down. People like Varela, rashford, fellaini and depay didn't have that bad of a game, but when the fecking spine of the team martial, Schneiderlin and Smalling are sh*tting the bed when the ball comes near them, I'm not sure what anyone could of done in that team.

Terrible game, absolutely awful from us. Thought the ref was crap, although they deserved nothing less, the two goals should never of stood. Not sure how, if a foul starts outside the box and goes in, you give a pen. Was offside for the second, but what the feck was Carrick thinking.

Words fail me. I'm a staunch LVG supporter, but tonight, the players are not bothering to do anything, not talking or performinv and sadly that falls to the manager. He has to go before the summer.
 
In the 27 years Ive been supporting Utd Ive NEVER seen such a spineless bunch of bollockless gimps. There isn't a single ounce of fight and determination, from the inept moron in the dugout downwards. Quite honestly if the team coach caught fire I'd let them all burn.
 
Another 90 mins and still can't figure out what Fellaini's role is.

Someone help!
 
Not done the match rating, but I'd struggle to give any outfield player more than a 5/10
 
It is shambolic. From owners all the way down to players. The level of incompetence is incomprehensible.

It really is. I don't think there's anything that compares to what's happened to United in the history of international business. Perhaps Enron, but at least those guys were ambitious.
 
This kind of performance would have had SAF seething on the sidelines with the players dreading the fulltime whistle. What I saw today when the camera panned towards LVG in the final minutes was a man who just looked lost, almost identical to Moyes.
 
Van Gaal is now starting to out-Moyes Moyes. At least Liverpool had a good side in 2013-2014. Just horrible. Even when Liverpool were a great team in the 80s, we always gave them a game. Tonight was abject surrender apart from that 15 minute spell in the second half. Still, we'll always have our tractors and vitamin drinks.
 
I'd really like to know what Woody was thinking when refused to sack LVG in December.
 
We're 2nd best to a lot of teams just on the physical attributes. The man who supplies the muscle is shit.

We have a few promising youngsters, a decent centre-back & an outstanding GK. That's our team.

You make a good point, personally I would have had Martial on the left where he's been best for us.

No idea and it's baffling why he did it and it's not the first time he's done something like this either. Countless times players have been in good form only for him to drop them from the XI for the next game or change their position.
 
Just rotten to the core. Simple as. Louis has fudged it, sold players at the wrong time, replaced them with unproven ones and left us bare bones.

Board have fudged it. Happy with their sponsorships and revenue.

Players have fudged it. Who the hell did they think they were playing tonight??? Liverpool a big game no matter the competition. No fight, bunch of wimps.

Wank on and off the pitch, just need a total new direction. Too many changes required, 200 mill in the summer won't fix this

As much as I hate those cnuts, this is disgraceful!
 
Waiting to see what LVG says. There is no way he can divert from this and he has been schooled.
 
Playing with 9 men tonight.. Fellaini is just bad and I miss the old Martial.

Why pick out these two?

Varela, Rojo, Schnederliin, Mata, Depay were all utter shite, far worse than Fellaini and Martial.
Only DDG deserves any credit.
Same shite here of people just picking on players they don't like.
