Am I the only one who didn't even think it was a foul from Lovren, never mind a booking?

I got the feeling that the booking was for his reaction?

He clearly and cleanly got the ball. No foul.

Yep, knobheads in the studio didn't even mention it.

It'd been all about them Mancs and nothing about our application on the game

Gerry83 · « **Reply #202 on:** January 15, 2017, 04:57:44 pm »

I think we'll see Rashford and Mata imminently so its important that Origi is ready to make that run in behind as hes got them for pace so any ball over the top is putting them under pressure. Just dont let then score early (at all preferably) and i think theres another goal in the game for us.

stockdam · « **Reply #203 on:** January 15, 2017, 04:57:47 pm »

Simon has been great and so has Lovren.

We shaded the first half but we need to be careful at the back not to be caught out by quick breaks. Obviously the next goal is key.

Fucking assault. What an absolute c*nt he is

Ref was on equaliser duty for a bit

Hopefully goes in has look that the pen was 100% a pen and stops

reddebs · « **Reply #205 on:** January 15, 2017, 04:57:48 pm »

Enjoyed that half, great performance overall.

Kept Carrick quiet, Pogba losing his head, their cbs both scared shitless and we're a goal up.

Love it.

Is that violent enough to get him in trouble post-game? It's pretty excessive in my opinion, particularly around the neck

He won't be punished after the fact, but should have easily got a yellow for that.

Not played that well ourselves but Man U have been worse!

Hendo has to mind the area in front of the CBs better.

They're targeting the spaces between FB and CB, I think we need to cut the through balls out at source and be a little more compact. TAA is getting pulled a little too wide at times.

It was fine. United c*nts all around the referee trying to get him sent off. Studs were down, ball was there to be won, minimal contact with player.

Phil M · « **Reply #210 on:** January 15, 2017, 04:57:59 pm »

I'm gonna call 5 mins of added time end of this half regardless of how many subs are made.

telekon · « **Reply #211 on:** January 15, 2017, 04:58:10 pm »

Apart from his wrestling antics, shouldn't there be a yellow card for the handball? Or is that just for super deliberate ones?

Given up a few good chances. Need to tighten the defence up.

Hopefully United push onto us more and Origi can get in over the top like he almost already did.

Firmino's so good at pressing and stealing the ball playing centrally. Can't wait to get Coutinho and Mane either side of him again.

lgvkarlos · « **Reply #214 on:** January 15, 2017, 04:58:34 pm »

Firmino and Origi have been pressing brilliantly, there defenders never get a rest.

I think he's dithered on the ball a couple of times in dangerous positions but otherwise excellent

Yeah. He's been running himself into the ground, providing the option wide on either side for us to advance the play. His solo runs haven't lead to much attacking end product but it's been getting us up the pitch. In a game this tight, even that counts for a fair bit. I think there's another goal here for us from a defensive error from one of the Man Utd defenders. I really hope we get it soon in the second half.

Come on Reds. Please fucking hold on to this.

They'll try to attack more. We'll pick them off. 2-0, 3-0...game over

That will be a problem if mata comes on

Solomon Grundy · « **Reply #221 on:** January 15, 2017, 04:59:14 pm »

So far, so good. I feel we need another goal or two in order to win this though.

Once you pass the 85 million pound threshold, all bets are off, so he just about made it

Long ways to go still. Think we'll need another. We've been decent but plenty of room for improvement.

Migs very good. Lovren very nervy and erratic again

Must be watching a different game, as he's been superb!!

Pogba has to get banned for what he did to Henderson

Agreed, and they ended up with a dangerous free-kick for something that happened immediately after.
Also noticed a couple of our lads falling to the ground holding their eyes while first Martial and then I think Herrera run on.

Otherwise, let's step it up just a bit and do this.

Come on Redmen!!!

Origi has worked really hard and has done well. But sometimes I wish we had a clinical striker - he seems too hesitant.

too selfish and lack of vision i would call

That's a red card in rugby, never mind football. Nothing ever happens with things like this though.

Classic example of a referee offering compensation in case he got the penalty wrong. All decisions should be independent but he was clearly in that mode after the pen

He didn't stretch out his hand to deliberately handball, as opposed to the brainfart Mané had recently. I suppose that's the difference?
