What's to discuss? Literally nothing happened.

It may be my imagination, but players aren't meant to be surrounding the ref any more, right? So why is that c*nt Herrera still on the pitch?

Skrtelonparole · « **Reply #43 on:** October 17, 2016, 08:49:11 pm »

Nervous stalemate. Would say they edged the first 20-25 mins, and we had the latter part. Missing Gini to keep the midfield ticking over..

Bird shit eater getting booked for trying to get Hendo booked was nice...

Spezialo · « **Reply #45 on:** October 17, 2016, 08:49:13 pm »

Herrera snidy little prick. Should have been booked.

We are too slow. Fromt 3 need to do a bit more. You can tell its can's first start.

Macphisto80 · « **Reply #46 on:** October 17, 2016, 08:49:13 pm »

3 shots for them, 0 on target. One went to the Moon. Total football.

Bunter · « **Reply #47 on:** October 17, 2016, 08:49:15 pm »

Slow as fuck, no tempo at all. Can looks like a hippo out there.

Every 1st touch in the first 20 mins was bouncing 10 yards away. Don't think we've recovered our composure.

Sturridge has done nothing to help us, I'd hook him.

Bus parked.

I wouldn't say that, they've pressed us well and we were panicking on the ball.

Gnurglan · « **Reply #50 on:** October 17, 2016, 08:49:21 pm »

Not a good half for either side. We need to get Mane and Sturridge more involved. Firmino and Coutinho are the only attacking players who get on the ball.

rich87 · « **Reply #51 on:** October 17, 2016, 08:49:25 pm »

What's there to discuss? Boring game so far. Don't think we're getting much luck with Sturridge at the minute, and would like to see Lallana and Coutinho Moved further forward in the second half (if Lallana is fit enough)

Should have booked Ibrahamavich, and yellows should have come out much earlier. Everytime we got the ball they fouled us.

Boring game, think we had a good 5-10 minute spell near the end.

But everyones first touch has been poor, and we were second best to all the second balls for first 25 minutes.

rocco · « **Reply #52 on:** October 17, 2016, 08:49:25 pm »

Lallanna ?

Father Ted · « **Reply #53 on:** October 17, 2016, 08:49:30 pm »

It's like playing against some bottom-of-the-table gang of cloggers.

Pure anti-football.

Crosby Nick · « **Reply #54 on:** October 17, 2016, 08:49:31 pm »

Neville a bit too eager to say United will be much the happier. Disappointing first 20 for us but as the half went on they dropped deeper and deeper and we worked the ball better.

Just need to make sure we don't switch off at the back and keep turning the screw. Might see Lallana for the last 20/25 if he's got the legs for it.

The Test · « **Reply #55 on:** October 17, 2016, 08:49:31 pm »

We're on top. I'd keep as it is for 15 mins. then if no change, Studge off... Cou to the left... Lallana midfield... Bob upfront...

plura · « **Reply #56 on:** October 17, 2016, 08:49:32 pm »

Well they stopped us efficiently from playing out from the back, but we were way too poor. Too slow and rigid, passes went nowhere and runs went the wrong direction, etc.
To be improved massively if we're planning to win by 3 goals at least!

Fitzy. · « **Reply #57 on:** October 17, 2016, 08:49:32 pm »

It's 0-0 at half time at Anfield against one of the biggest sides in the league.

We've been frustrating but we have a very good manager who will react.

Phil M · « **Reply #58 on:** October 17, 2016, 08:49:36 pm »

How many million spent between the two sides and barely a shot on goal.

Kop end second half, lots for Jurgen and his team to sort out.

Come on you mighty Redmen!

Cusamano · « **Reply #59 on:** October 17, 2016, 08:49:39 pm »

get can off.

What a fucking disgrace is this Ashley young... and herrera can fuck of too...Gerrard did the right thing last time

payback · « **Reply #61 on:** October 17, 2016, 08:49:40 pm »

sloppy. Can seems to be slowing us down in midfield and we're playing like we've just had a cup of horlicks. need to come out much sharper in the second half. origi for sturridge please.

AndyMuller · « **Reply #62 on:** October 17, 2016, 08:49:40 pm »

Can we get Lallana on for Can?

Cancelling eachother out..
Can, rusty, as would be expected.
Missing Gini in Midfield

robertobaggio37 · « **Reply #64 on:** October 17, 2016, 08:49:41 pm »

Switch Emre with Henderson. We're afraid to take a risk and sometimes in these games you have to be prepared for a such thing.

Woeful football from us this half, expecting better 2nd half.

Please.

Sat1 · « **Reply #65 on:** October 17, 2016, 08:49:43 pm »

Both pretty shit. First 20 was shocking from us. Need to up it

SerbianScouser · « **Reply #66 on:** October 17, 2016, 08:49:43 pm »

What you can learn from these 45 mins is that Gini and Lallana are our heartbeat and the very reason why we looked so fluid so far this campaign. Not enough courage on the ball from Can and Henderson first half , hopefully it`ll be better in the second.

deFacto please, you bastards · « **Reply #67 on:** October 17, 2016, 08:49:47 pm »

I don't know why anyone expected this to be any different than what it is. Cagey, sloppy, very congested in the middle.

United are pressing us well and nullifying our strengths and space. We've done better as the half went on, but we were making some poor passes and decisions, Emre looks rusty and a bit ponderous on the ball when we're in transition. Dani with some poor touches, along with Firmino. We can do better, but it's going to be marginal. We've dealt with long balls, crosses well so far, but that is my only concern for the remainder of the match

For us to create better chances, we have to be quicker and sharper on the ball and persistent.

Red-Soldier · « **Reply #68 on:** October 17, 2016, 08:49:52 pm »

Only 1 booking?

Missing our two starting cms big time!!

Even match. Not much to discuss. Henderson should have been carded. Sturbridge a bit sloppy with few touches, Pogba never a 100m euro player

Can see us nicking this

Hendersons wasn't even a foul.

RedRabbit · « **Reply #70 on:** October 17, 2016, 08:49:58 pm »

Sturridge not getting anything. Can slowing one or two things down too much. Utd have set up well but aren't doing much either.

Hope Lallana gets some minutes. We need him.

thisyearisouryear · « **Reply #71 on:** October 17, 2016, 08:50:01 pm »

Can and Sturridge instead of Lallana & Wijnaldum is making the difference. But I think we got this. Need to start better in second half.

Not that Gareth · « **Reply #72 on:** October 17, 2016, 08:50:02 pm »

Not great from either side, Maureen set up to to close the game down and it's working so far. Expecting it to open up in the second half.

jillcwhomever · « **Reply #73 on:** October 17, 2016, 08:50:03 pm »

We need to retain the ball better, cut out the flicks when the penalty area is crowded with their players, and be more patient.

Simplexity · « **Reply #74 on:** October 17, 2016, 08:50:04 pm »

Midfield been bullied off the park, Hendo, Can may aswell get their faces plastered on milk cartons at this rate.

Rattleduser · « **Reply #75 on:** October 17, 2016, 08:50:06 pm »

glad we got away with such a disjointed half of footy, expecting a vast improvement from us and more of the same from united

Fruity · « **Reply #76 on:** October 17, 2016, 08:50:08 pm »

I think the players were as nervous as me. Very sloppy first 25 mins. A little better after that but rarely threatened. 1 goal probably wins it.

we are slow and not moving the ball very well. Need a much better 2nd half

Juanyboy · « **Reply #77 on:** October 17, 2016, 08:50:09 pm »

They're showing us a lot of respect, yes we've been sluggish and hesitant, but they've come here to nullify our threat, these are the games we need to figure out and win.

jooneyisdagod · « **Reply #78 on:** October 17, 2016, 08:50:11 pm »

They're cutting off our passing lanes, and Emre is finally getting to the speed of the game and realising that sometimes he just needs to get on his bike and break through the press. Once we do that, they are resorting to backs to the wall stuff. I think we need a long shot or two just to keep them on the edge. I think we'll get better in the second half and hopefully, we can nick a goal somewhere. They're playing with incredible discipline and any changes offensively will take that away.

lessthanmatt · « **Reply #79 on:** October 17, 2016, 08:50:19 pm »

c*nts should have like 4 yellows. I could see in my mind's eye Taylor giving Henderson a yellow at the end there, even though 90% of the cynical fouls have been from United. Props to him for booking Young

Boring game offensively.

Can had a slow start but grew into it.

Sturridge has had nothing at all.
