RAWK Goes Into Meltdown 2016-17 Edition
- Thread starter Xaviesta
- Start date
Lallana and Wijnaldum were huge injuries. Liverpool has exactly one brilliant formation. Game changed completely when Lallana came on. Sturridge is done. Just does not fit with the rest of the team.
Yes, Ronaldo was arse.But how would that work? Wasn't Ronaldo just an expensive Babel?
Sinama Pongolle and Le Tallec, though! True talent.
Cafe Rouge having a little circlejerk in their RAWK Meltdown thread tonight as if they've just beaten Real Madrid by 12 goals
The game wasn't even a credit to Mourinho and his "masterful big away game management" or whatever the feck they say to make themselves feel good these days. They literally needed two world class saves and a world class tackle to justify their minnow-like mentality and game plan. A minnow's mentality from Manchester fecking United...think about that. The glory days are well gone boys.

You must be a little disappointed that the full might of Klopp was nowhere tonight?
Cafe Rouge is far too classy a name for this place.
We always knew you loved us...
"They needed two world class saves and a world class tackle", well feck, our players played well, what the shit is that?
It doesn't count, duh.
Such a shame then, that at our lowest point, with our worse squad since 1980, with our glory days long gone, with us needing to feel good about ourselves..............we were still able to go to Anfield and get a point against the best Liverpool side since 1980 under the great Jurgen Klopp. To me that is boss, la.
A one beat side. They are the very definition of having no plan b.
it really is the same every year.
'Were gonna smash these at Anfield'
'Cant believe it...worst united side since....'
Every fecking year

If Zlatan had scored from the Pogba cross it'd of been a very interesting forum tonight
Cafe Rouge. What a cool name.
I love it when angry people inadvertently mock themselves. Comedy at its finest.

At least we remember our glory days.
At least we remember our glory days.Had a nice chuckle reading that
They've always been a delusional bunch since the 2000s but this result must be much harder to take, especially when everyone praised them as the best attacking team in the league this year.
Well glory be - world class passages of play from world class players.................
If we're Cafe Rouge then they are a bloody Red and White Brothel.
haha they're positively feeeewmin over there. 500 million for a team to come and play like that.........they came for a draw (and we got one divs).................typical Shitcoat (a whitty nickname for Jose) tactics............
Funnily enough there's no mention of a certain team that has 66% possession and musters 2 shots on target...........

How the hell did DDG dare to save us ? Who gave him the right ?
Loving the cafe rouge name, I vote a change
I love how indignant they become when someone actually defends against them. How dare they
They're basically Arsenal between 2006 and 2014. Lots of fancy passing in the final third that's great when they play a side who concede a couple of early goals. Clueless against organised physical sides who defend well.
Hopefully Jose has shown the rest of the league how to go there and stop them playing.
RAWK never had a problem when it was Houllier or Benitez doing that against us at Old Trafford

We have to add CafeRouge into the RedCafe header in homage to that!
It's as if Jose watched a bunch of videos of them hammering sides at Anfield and decided to give his team some sort of plan to ensure that wasn't allowed to happen.
It's basically cheating and, if proven true, Jose should be banned for several games...

Cafe Rouge, Castle Greyskull..I love these Rawks 'derogatory' nicknames generator
Since when is stopping another team playing football a bad thing? That's the objective every game from every team
Including Liverpool considering they were scared to attack us most of the game.
I'd be pissed off if United showed so little ambition at home. We'll take them apart at OT I reckon.
Just been reading their post match comments over there and the general consensus is;
How dare the most expensive team ever assembled not roll over and play into our hands.
De Gea is the best goalkeeper in the world for making 2 saves.
And in true RAWK fashion, Wijnaldum has suddenly, overnight, become the best midfielder in the EPL.

To be honest, after all the hype around this game I was expecting a 0-0. We didn't do anything really until Studge went off. Although I would say you could probably have got Tony Pulis for a lot less money but you still would have had the same tactics as last night. You did what you had to do and stopped us playing but at the expense of playing yourselves. I mean Manchester United playing a 6-3-1 now that's exciting.
Worst United team since the 1880s, facht.
But Pulis would have us playing like that every week, which we don't do. Also, we've played a lot worse under SAF at Anfield but no one remembers that. Some of our worst, most gutless performances under SAF came at Anfield, and that was with title winning teams full of experience. You can't judge anything from a game like this.
Spot on. Klopp has only one way of playing. Yes it's exciting and often results in high scoring wins, but it is easily stifled with the right tactics and I can see it happening a lot more now Jose has shown everyone how it's done.
So basically you're like a typical playground bully. You hide when you come up against the big boys and flex your muscle against the smaller weaker ones. Is that right?
This isnt a thread to discuss. Move along.
Jose? I thought Burnley done it first and with a better end result. They managed to score two against a defense that is constantly criticized.
Ehhh, that seems like a stretch.
IMO, Liverpool clearly plays best with three CMs and three attackers. That Wijnaldum was hurt and Lallana was (I assume) only fit for the bench, and therefore they played more of a 4-2-3-1 with two holders than an aggressive 4-3-3 with two high energy pressing 8s, was a big factor in their struggles. Once Lallana came on and Sturridge off, they dominated the match. They lacked quality in the last 30 minutes, which was exacerbated because both Coutinho and Firmino seemed totally out of gas by the end, but tactically they were fine. In sum, the idea that Jose has found some magic formula for stopping them doesn't hold water given that Liverpool themselves didn't play their preferred setup and tactics for the first hour.
