Shambles.
Premier League Gameweek 3
- Thread starter drab.
- Start date
Oh boy, VAR is gonna say this is off.
Update: It's good!
Update: It's good!
Liverpool will be in a relegation scrap this season. One more top 4 spot has just opened up.
Where did this come out of. United outworking Liverpool by a mile. Great workrate. Completely unexpected.
Trent and Van Dijk have been complacent/generally poor since the start of the season. Henderson, Milner and Elliot should under no circumstances be a midfield we see starting a PL game. We're just not good right now.
It's come out of nowhere.
I haven't seen a United side show this much intensity, work this hard or press as a cohesive unit in a decade. I kid you not.
Is that Salah done now he's got his new contract?
Where is Naby Keita?
Injured
Elliot is a tidy player but just doesnt have the acceleration to make a difference
This really has been awful from Liverpool. But the squad is fine. Henderson and Milner can play 50+ games. All is well.
I know you got many inquiries but looking at your bench doesn't look encouraging. Your squad is paper thin in a world cup year.

Oliver was unimpressed.

Carvalho is a baller, questions have to be asked of Klopp on why he started that midfield without him.
Fernandes is a real liability here..
He has been one of the few players for them that’s been decent all season.
Eliot squirming on the floor the little rat
That's what a good manager does.
Still a long way to go buy he's certainly improved us compared to Ralph.
Excellent game plan by United tonight.
Reverse of the times when United were clearly superior and yet Liverpool often put up a fight, sharing or taking points against the odds.
I am dumbfounded where this performance has come from. We defended calmly, won 50-50s, pressed and looked dangerous on the counter. If we can build on this and bring calm possession as well I am excited for the season.Thoughts? @Dr. StrangeHate
Not a bad game for a relegation 6 pointer that.
Well impressed by United. For 70 minute they were excellent.
Liverpool really need some midfielders back, that midfield can't press, can't pass and hasn't the legs to play the Klopp way.

Yikes, that was pretty bad from both teams. Those midfields were more than suspect.
Would've been incredibly harsh on United if they didn't win that. My initial thoughts:
- Serious slack of commitment from us. Firmino and Salah hiding, other players playing within themselves.
- Van Dijk was awful for Sancho's goal. The second was dreadful from our perspective as well.
- Trent's great when we're winning. When we're up against it his flaws become a massive issue.
- This team needs a massive refresh in midfield. Milner and Henderson can't start another game together this season.
I thought United were very good. Committed to everything and fought for that win. Martinez was good but a bit manic with his defending. Varane was the cool head. Martinez should probably be played in midfield if United find a decent partner for Varane. Malacia was very good. The front line worked their arses off. Dropping Ronaldo was a no brainer.
Relegation six-pointer against Bournemouth coming up.

why didn't Fabinho start?
I see alot of Cancelo in Trent, when you are dominating and he's on the ball he's great, but when the chips are down and people run at him/past him. He hasn't the pace or the strength to really stop them.
an obvious point but the Mane loss really is massive, doesn't remotely feel like a dual threat anymore
He's been awful so far this season.
Can't say for sure but he was poor vs Fulham and Palace. Still a bad decision not to start him IMO; despite his form, we don't really have a suitable alternative.
Oh Firmino is finished as well. Needs to go.
Is it just me or does Sancho sounds like a french dude who had a few english lessons ?
You and me both mate. Liverpool’s downfall is much more enjoyable than United’s so this is a good night for me
You're only two points ahead of us. Race to the bottom?You and me both mate. Liverpool’s downfall is much more enjoyable than United’s so this is a good night for me
His spell in Germany has led to a case of the McLaren's. The use of "for sure" to answer a question is the cherry on the cake.
We’ve won a game this season mate. Come back to me when you can say the same.
Just 3 games into a long season. There are lots of games to play. Liverpool and Chelsea will be fine.
Bournemouth next at Anfield...surely?
But...we're 7 points behind you...7...after 3 games...
