Post-match discussion


Sun, 05 January 2025

Great performance, you have to wonder how much difference was made by having a week on the training ground
 
Got nothing against Hojlund but with a better striker we win this game.

A lot of positives to take away. Would like to keep this starting 11 for the next few games. Build some cohesion and chemistry.

Harry, I love you man.

I thought this was Maguire best defensive performance ever. Too bad he had to ruined that last kick

It was a terrible pass, bobbling in like that to be fair.

Wasn't expecting that after the first 30 mins against Newcastle which is as bad as I have ever seen Utd.
 
We didn't win but that was by far our best performance of the season. We should have scored four goals at Anfield. Can't remember the last time I said that. Now we need to take that momentum and performance level into games against lesser teams than Liverpool.
 
It's rare when we can't fault neither the effort nor the quality but today is that day. It's a shame we didn't get the win - I wouldn't have picked Maguire for that chance at the end, if I were asked in advance - but in our current state a point achieved with decent football at Anfield is a bloody triumph.

Four points at City and Liverpool but we're in the bottom half. Makes sense.
 
Although I'm gutted Maguire missed that sitter for a famous win still overall unexpected winter warmer and full deserved at least a draw out of that game. I've seen many United teams play in Anfield including every match under Ferguson and that was among the best United performances in that venue. Need to build on it now and get up the table.
 
We showed up and deserved a result. Well done to Amorin and well done to the players. No complaints from me.
 
Brilliant game overalll and excellent performances all round.

Ugarte was superb, probably my Motm.

Play like that every week and they won't be long moving up the table.
 
If that's what a few extra days training does then fantastic! And there's another full week next week too! We're gonna batter arsenal :lol:
 
I can’t think of any of our players worthy of singling out for criticism, we played the top team in the league in their own backyard and almost beat them
 
This was a hard fought game for United, shows perseverance. We still need wingbacks and proper striker to do more. Well played. Hopefully will boost squad confidence. Just build on this.
 
Haven't watched all the league matches of course, but I assume that was the best match of the 24/25 season, not just for United, in general.
 
Can we play away to City and Liverpool every week please?
 
Great great performances all out.

Fernandes was immense today as were all the defenders and Ugarte.

possession almost 50-50! i don't remember us attacking a top team with such conviction in last couple of years. Big question: can we repeat this performance in the next game?
 
Brilliant performance. Solid, energy, precision. Everyone turned up today.
Proud of them all.
Liverpools defence looked dodgy.
 
We were nowhere near losing double figures :lol:

Very good game.

- Bruno, ugarte, licha and maguire excellent.
- hojlund, man we need a striker.
- garnacho, good impact once on
- we need wingbacks, but to be fair, dalot and mazraoui had to sit back today given the opponent.

Good game overall. Key takeaway, never start casemiro-eriksen ever again
 
3 best United players today:
1) Bruno
2) Maguire
3) Dalot

3 worst United players today_
1) De Ligt
2) Amad (scored an important goal, but was poor for the rest of the match).
3) No one
 
Good game, should have won with a proper ref.

But the players really are showing that they just don't care enough in most games, if you can play like this we shouldn't have the losses we have, unless they just don't give a feck in those games.
 
Great stuff. The best we've played there since Juanfield and the probably the only time since that we've deserved anything more than a draw.

Telling myself that Zirkzee was offside for the Maguire chance and so it wouldn't have counted anyway.
 
Relegation my arse, we were the likelier team to win the game.

Just need to build on this and actually go on a run of form to climb the table now this horrendous sequence of games is behind us. Pretty much the best 11 today albeit I'd have Yoro in place of De Ligt who's a bit shite. Desperately need to bring a no.9 in this window too.
