Match Day Liverpool v Man Utd, Monday 17th October 20:00

[Stevencc]

It's been a pretty tame affair so far, very little to get excited about for either side.

 

[johnnytodd]

Arsenal still 2nd.

 

[Storzy]

Not sure I'm a big fan of this 7-2-1 formation that Utd have adopted. After a good start they've really dropped off.

 

[GodsGift]

Torino are looking decent on BT if any of you armchair fans fancy some entertainment.

 

[Bilo]

Mourinho playing a high line came as a surprise to everyone, and that man marking in the build up phase is Greece 2004-esque.

Can has been awful.

 

[johnnytodd]

Feel sorry for Gigsy a winner of dozens of prem titles having to have a debate with yard dog Carragher who only has a best dressed in Bootle title.

 

[Liam_SWFC]

This is dire, could see united snatching this though.

 

[Liam_SWFC]

Lallana trying his best not to damage his hair while putting his shirt on.

 

[johnnytodd]

Dive dive dive Liverpool all game cheating twats

 

[JimJams]

Never a foul by Herrera on Coutinho. Awful reffing.

 

[Liam_SWFC]

Good save De Gea, game has a bit of life now.

 

[Liam_SWFC]

I think Juventus have had United's pants down for Pogba.

 

[JimJams]

Isn't that a foul by Pogba on Milner?

 

[Liam_SWFC]

Nice to see England's brightest young talent being wasted out on the right of midfield.

 

[smat]

This game needs a Liverpool goal a lot.

 

[Liam_SWFC]

Come on Rooney last minute winner please.

 

[Liam_SWFC]

What the fuck is that on Moreno's head.

 

[Jamie_SFC]

Thank fuck that's over.

 

[Liam_SWFC]

Good point for United but my god that was a drab affair as are most big games Jose is involved in, Liverpool were quite poor though and never got playing as they can do.

 

[Storzy]

Awful football game. Utd set out to nullify Liverpool and didn't even look to counter. Job done I guess...

 

[Stevencc]

Awful game to watch, both sides were poor and neither deserved to win the game. The best moment of the match was Valencia's tackle on Firmino for God's sake!

The crowd didn't do much to spark the contest into life either, I know Anfield gets a bad rap for its atmosphere these days but I can't remember it being quite that quiet for a United/Liverpool match before. Perhaps the onus was on the players to actually spark them into life, I don't know.

Classic Mourinho. The only sweet thing about it is that next week we'll be back to playing entertaining football, the United fans are stuck with this.

He didn't, originally, sit deep in the sense you would have expected but United's game plan was to focus entirely on defending, and perhaps grabbing a set piece goal or something.

To put things into perspective, we haven't kept a clean sheet in the league since last season. United came to Anfield with all that talent and managed, or even tried, to create nothing.

I would hate to support a Mourinho-managed team. The guy just sucks so much of the excitement and intensity out if football.

 

[johnnytodd]

Flopp loses another cup final I see.

Liverpool are absolute wank.

 

[Kyle Hatch]

Set up to contain and counter. Got it half right. First half excellent. Second half tired and went backwards a little. Herrera was a class apart. Ran the show first half. Quieter second but still best player on the park.

Got it wrong in my prediction. Liverpool looked poor. Slow to start then too sacred to go forward. Looks like there not sure on best system.

United continue to build. Another point on sunday would be good.

MNF!
RED MONDAY!
CLASH OF THE TITANS!

What a load of shit.

 

[smat]

United worked very hard, defended well and got what they came for. Hard to believe that's one of the most expensive teams in world football though.

Liverpool were underwhelming but should still have won. De Gea is amazing.

 

[smat]

PS is Pogba just Diaby without the injuries?

 

[Pagnell]

Shit and frustrating game. Annoying as hell we couldn't break them down with all the possession we had.

However, fair play to both Mourinho and United, they had 35% possession and 1 shot on target but they got what they came for. It speaks volumes about what both him and, even more so, United have become for me. No way are they even challenging for the title this season, never mind winning it. Can you imagine Ferguson coming away from any league match happy with a draw?

I'm annoyed with us. We need to be able to break down opposition with that type of game plan. Still, we remain up there and I'm happy with our start given the fixtures we've had. Out of all the top 6 clubs, we've had by far the most difficult start.

Great decision to postpone MotD2 yesterday for this!
