Eh? How do you work that out? Not that I give a tiny rats arse like, because I don't, but I have to pull you on this whopper. What you said is like saying Wenger is better than Klopp because he's won more trophies.
Preseason Tour Game 4: Man Utd v Liverpool (ICC, Saturday 28th July 22:05 BST)
- Thread starter Damien
- Start date
Is that the excuse now? Do we need to have 5forwards or so to show attacking intent? The whole team should be able to push forward in unison regardless of the number of forwards in play.
This is just poor of Jose,he ought to be doing better. Preseason is there for a reason, to try new things and implement ideas,not just continue where you left off last season.
It’s a preseason friendly
We played with a team of individuals who have hardly played together and bar Sanchez are non starters. In fact some may never play for the team again or will be no where near the first team. It’s never nice losing to Liverpool but people need to relax a bit. The game means absolutely nothing.

all the usual reactionary brexit types
Come on now. Half the posts these days are just completely pointless sound bites and hyperbole, its got feck all to do with the quality of football and Im not expecting people to be bouncing off the walls with excitement anyway, Ive got no issue with negative comments at all when theres a little effort and thought put into them. I just fail to see the point in posting the same boring one liners every other cnut already has.
The famous LVG pre-season. Won all our games bar one, beat Liverpool 4-1 IIRC, beat Madrid and some other big name sides. Then we were slapped with reality on the first PL game.
Just laugh at them.
Thought Jose hung the kids out to dry in that game. Noticeably more kids starting than usual on this tour and then much more on the pitch at one time than there have been in any other game by the end. Not without reason I'm sure.
Look, don’t try and talk sense to me. As far as I’m concerned Mourinho may as well be responsible for world hunger, aids, and the Middle East crisis. That’s how much I hate him. I’ve gone past the point of rational discussion.
Pre season, but never nice losing by such a big game, especially against rivals, but we dust ourselves off and go again.
Yep the £20m we want has now had a decimal point moved
I didn't think that losing this meaningless friendly with not even half a team would be the end of the World.
But apparently, it is -

.Utter shitshow isn't it
Better options as in all of them? Maybe Keita and Firminho didnt play? but thats about it
No idea under Moyes. Dull under LVG. Dull under Mourinho... wonder if the next man will be any different?

A bit embarrassing for United to lose 4-1 to Liverpool, there was nothing riding on this so I can't be too aggravated by it though.
The first half we played well, got lucky a few times but the general approach of countering worked fine. Mata had the ball in the net twice but the flag was rightly raised both times for offside.
When Liverpool's big players went off at half time our intensity dropped hugely. Perhaps the players thought they could relax because they didn't have Salah and Mane to deal with? If so, big mistake. As the game went on tiredness may have become a factor too, given that Liverpool are further ahead in preseason than us. Still the concentration lapses, especially at the back, weren't what you'd want to see even in a friendly.
The defence as a whole probably played well for about 15 minutes of that match. The three centre backs looked very hesitant, was surprised to see them take a step backwards after the Milan game. Demi did Luke Shaw a lot of favours and Darmian made the case for his exit even more powerful.
Andreas was the only plus point really.

This thread.The caf is gone to feck, absolutely riddled with wums, what are the mods doing about it?
I wasn't saying trophies determines who is better, I was just saying the one who has more trophies out of the two is the better manager.
Absolute fecking EMBARRASSING ! Rather give Jose the money to go get the players he wants or sack him because at this moment in time we are gunna fall majorly short again! I know we are missing some big players but we even need to improve on some of them to even think of competing with city or the scouse b@$tards !!!! Sort it out Woodward !
Agreed. Mods need to sort this before the new season or else I'm off.
eh?
70% of them are not even good.
No, not Pereira. A free kick but not much else.
From reading the posts here, one could think that it was a Champions League final Besides, get a grip lads, if you thought that suddenly Jose would make us play some fast keep-you-on-your-toes football.
Besides, get a grip lads, if you thought that suddenly Jose would make us play some fast keep-you-on-your-toes football.It doesn't matter if there were players that aren't going to start for us. Liverpool didn't exactly have their best team in the period they took over in the game. Didn't Mane and Salah go off at half time? We still had some players that will get lots of games under Mourinho like Herrera, McTominay, Mata, Bailly etc.
No but thats not my point. I couldn't care less if they did the double over us as long as we win the league.
I just merely pointed out the fact that Liverpool whether we like to acknowledge it or not play significantly better and more entertaining football than us and have improved their squad, and therefore I think they'll challenge this season. I'm not confident that we will.
Meltdown on losing a friendly with all the main squad absent, against a team we haven't lost against in the league ever since LVG himself was here.
Caf in nutshells.
Caf in nutshells.
Jose, how did we play?
Surely the biggest WUM is our manager.
Then you should be thread banned for any Mourinho related threads. All at least earn yourself a Mourinho hater tag.
Not surprised anymore. He is a class above the others in the tour so far.
Not even LvG lost to him in the league did he? Just Europa League.
So you got proven wrong in biblical fashion and then decided to double down with an out and out lie about parking the bus against pool? We beat them comfortably and they did. It even get a shot on goal.
Worst post I have seen for a least 20 seconds.
The overreactions in this thread are mind-boggling.
That actually sounds like a much more enjoyable pre season Iregardless of the squad to me.
No 3/4 am wake ups to watch us play.
To bring trophies into it meant you felt it held weight in determining who is the better manager, and then to call the person a melt like it is obvious Jose is much better is even more laughable.
Tbh, I'm not not sure who is the better manager atm, but it is a hell of a lot closer than you are making out. Jose has had the better career so far for sure, but is he better right now at this moment? Dunno.Exactly.
I would happily tag that tag.
