I feel bad for the journos. So many of them deleting their pre written drubbing they expected.

So were many on here.

 

[Roboc7]

Terrible quality from both teams, we were poor but disciplined and it’s a good result. Our lack of attacking quality was well and truly exposed, Liverpool were there for taking on the counter but our players just didn’t have ability to capitalise.

 

[christinaa]

Keane is fantastic!

 

[Sandikan]

How many aimless, percentage crosses did Trent put in today?
Moyes got mockery for such tactics.

 

[justsomebloke]

We lose that with Bruno playing.

Haha, right. Yeah, because that was such a commanding performance by McTominay at #10.

 

[GazTheLegend]

I don't think there's much to be proud of today, if I'm being honest it's not good to go to Anfield and allow them 34 shots at your goal and 12 corners, but under the circumstances - with Michael Oliver refereeing, us playing Jonny Evans at the back, and with Bruno Fernandes out I think anyone would take it.

Happiest for Onana as he faced 8 shots on target and we come away with the clean sheet, but there's absolutely nothing about our side at all and on another day maybe we concede four or five.

 

[Buster15]

The only time you hear them is if they win a throw, corner or free kick.

And did you see how many foul throws they were doing. The ball is supposed to be behind the head. Hardly even was.

 

[Berbaclass]

 

[justsomebloke]

I though we would lose easily. Like 3 or 4 nil. We were solid. Playing with two CM instead could be the future.

As long as one of them isn't Amrabat. Or McTominay.

 

[Robertd0803]

Will gladly take that result and the point.
Would quite happily have taken it before the game no questions asked.

The fact the Liverpools fans are frustrated as hell after that is even more amusing.

Nunez should have been sent off although him staying on was probably more of an advantage to us.

 

[Kevzter]

Good point... Considering most of us were expecting to get royally hammered at Anfield while putting out a makeshift team.

Dalot should have known better... I'm from South Africa and even I know that that Oliver is the most hard assed and card happy ref in the league.

However Klopp in post the post match interview having a mental breakdown claiming the media have a 'United' agenda is the cherry on top for me.

 

[Shark]

We performed alot better than expected, but they had 34 shots and three times our xG. Let's not invent a narrative.

Yeah but who had the better clean cut opportunities?

 

[matt10000]

Sky still haven’t talked about the red and that’s because of the protect the ref and the red was bullshit

When does one dissent become two!?!

 

[justsomebloke]

Great performance. Mainoo class, as was Evans and Varane. Bruno proven as a liability.

Two strong candidates for "most laughable sentence of the year" in a single post, well done.

 

[JagUTD]

End of the day, this game meant more to Liverpool than us. We were a bit disrespectful, taking a mostly second string side down, giving a load of academy lads a few minutes in a favourable atmosphere. More of a training session for us than anything else.

You could see what it meant to the Liverpool fans though. Football is about these moments, welcoming the genuine big boys, second string or not to your rickity little shed at Christmas. Memories that will last a life time right there.

oh no how could we allow that

 

[miked99]

Rarely in my entire United supporting life have I entered a game with so little belief of obtaining any kind of result.

Absolutely delighted with that performance. The team defended brilliantly and with real passion for the shirt. So unexpected, given our many meek capitulations.

Massive credit to Jonny Evans too. He's performed so far above expectations.

 

[The Brown Bull]

Not much of a game . Both teams were poor. Good point in the end. Oliver is GAK. Absolute joke of a red card.

 

[Buster15]

Klopp’s interview is not much better. The man really hates teams that come to Liverpool to defend, he talks like they’ve cheated or something.

Who cares what he thinks or says. Not me or any United fans.

 

[GazTheLegend]

oh no how could we allow that

Alright then how about yield 34 shots? Cede 34 shots? Give up 34 shots? What are you picking holes in language for here, and what's your point? That they missed the target most of the time is good for us, in that they were shite efforts and they should have done better. The point being that if one flies in our post game discussion's a lot different because people don't see past the result. @Buster15 I don't Klopp, he's not great, but he's got a point, it's two points dropped for them today. Because they failed to beat us with us playing our academy kid in midfield for the first ever time at Anfield, Jonny Evans at the back, and while missing (extremely arguably) our best creative outlet in Fernandes.

Under that circumstance a draw is a bad result for them and acceptable for us, but it's depressing to me that we've fallen as far as we have.

Great point. Some very good performances at the back. The usual crap performance from you know who.

Can’t wait for Martinez & Casemiro to return.

A lot of people were mocking Evans when he was signed on a year contract. But he is using his experience well.

 

[Alvaro Maestre]

This team just needs to learn how to pass the ball with precision. Get that Dortmund passing machine that teaches them how to pass it.

 

[Reapersoul20]

Thought Dalot was our best player

 

[Stookie]

To be fair to Liverpool they probably deserved a point

 

[Lrf]

Yeah but who had the better clean cut opportunities?

Not sure, maybe Højlunds chance or VVDs header? Though, statistically, we "should have" lost 3-1 today.

The xG was about the same as the trashing last year actually. They used up all the luck they did not get today.

 

[Wazzaduke33]

He said united were buzzing with a point. He was being disrespectful.

We are

It will not happen with this lot. We need signings but more importantly an overhaul in our recruitment / running of the football club.

OK you've cheered me up

 

[The Irish Connection]

Great point obviously, but our passing especially in the first half was terrible. Couldn’t string 3 passes together.
Pity Hojlund couldn’t have put that away.
The back four were excellent.

 

[The-Mezzala]

Mainoo looks a great talent. Really hope him and Garanacho don’t fall off like other talented players have in the past.Varane and Evans excellent both used their experience today and it was crucial . Hojlund needs a goal. Feel for him tough environment to go into and lot of pressure. He has a lot of great physical qualities as a striker for his age. Think confidence is short.

 

[leeroyTX]

I’m happy with the point. To go on the road at the league leaders and come Away with a shutout and a point is good no matter what.

I thought the defense was well organized, with Varane as the MotM. Mainoo was solid. The ball he played to Garnach was lovely. Antony played well, especially defensively. I was glad to see them adjust early and stop trying to play so much out of the back.

I’m disturbed at how poor Amrabat is on the ball. The man cannot complete a simple pass. There were a lot of unnecessary and unforced turnovers. Have to stop giving the ball back so easily. Also have to find ways to get the ball to the striker. He had so few touches. But when he had chances, he really needs to impose himself more. Should’ve really put the ball from McT away.

Post of the year

 

[gerdm07]

Those Hollywood passes save our asses, more often than not.

Funny, I can't remember the last one that actually led to a goal.

 

[Red Indian Chief Torn Rubber]

Satisfying result

 

[Zlatan 7]

A lot of people were mocking Evans when he was signed on a year contract. But he is using his experience well.

He was fantastic tonight and he’s good when on the ball too, I’d keep him and varane together aslong as they can untill Martinez is back, a game a week shouldn’t be too hard on him.

 

[NotoriousISSY]

Glad it’s over with and it was palatable all things considered.

A terrible advert for the league though.

Oliver was desperate for his moment though, what an absolute weapon. A double yellow red for dissent can’t even be appealed or rescinded which is insane because Dalot was completely in the right.

 

[Pexbo]

They really just are not that good. Anyone who has watched them this season can tell you that. They just constantly ride their luck and have so much help from the referees it’s ridiculous. I just cannot see them sustaining a title challenge.
