Topic: PL: Liverpool v Man United

[Red-4-Ever]

Simply abysmal, for that united team, one of the worst you’ll see, to be allowed to leave Anfield with ANYTHING is criminal.

[Keith Lard]

Point off the top. We’re doing fine - enjoy your dinner, have a Christmas port, move on

[Gnurglan]

0-0. We should have won. Don't understand the handball rule. Thought it was a clear penalty. We should have found a goal even so. It was so one sided and we need to score when we have the ball in the attacking half all game. More to come from this team.

[Wabaloolah]

Well that was an absolute rubbish performance. I don't even remember the last time we played well.

We can just about sneak a win at West Ham but Arsenal are going to cut us to ribbons.

think Arsenal will be more open, United came with a bank of four and a bank of five and we couldn't break them down.  Trent's was out best chance but that aside it was a lot of huff but no puff.

[richmiller1]

We really don't look that dangerous from open play currently. Need to fix that for next week.

[smicer07]

If anyone wants to know how to come to Anfield and get a result: just put your entire team behind the ball.

It's been the same since 1990 really.

[gemofabird]

Front 6 absolute shite again.

[Dree]

The mancs ddin;t do anything though. You're making it out they had better chances? 

They had a clear chance unlike us…

[Caligula?]

It's like we are trying to hand the title to Arsenal. 

That is would be City. The title was never ours to hand to anyone.

[naYoRHa2b]

Nothing really that surprising.

Been very average on the whole going forward for a good while but keep finding a way but that can't last forever. Shame it had to be in a scoreless game against these but when footballers don't understand how to play against low blocks there's not a lot you can do.

[Fromola]

Are we allowed to pretty much catch the ball in the penalty area now and it’s not handball?

They'll never give that against them in the PL, not against us.

Oliver left it to VAR (like the ref in the derby) and VAR sat on their hands.

[proudred]

Rubbish football. What a let down.
These players were arrogant thinking they would win easily.
Salah,diaz predictable nunez doesn't know offside rule. Players afraid to play the risky pass.

[Felch Aid]

Aimless balls into the box. Definitely a sign of lack of creativity.

Tons of time and space and we rarely stretched them.

Very poor in the final 3rd

[Fruity]

that was poor and disappointing. Cross, shot, cross, shot, cross, shot - like manu under moyes.

I would take a Bobby firmino at 32 coming on for half an hour and try and instill some football in this lot.

[RedSince86]

They came to win 0-0, because that a win for them the way they are as a club right now.

Just horrible in the final 3rd, i would have started Gakpo, Nunez struggles in low block when he has no space to run into.

Trent shot, how did that not go in, sublime strike of the ball.

At least we know Arsenal wont play with a 7 line defence on there 18 yard line.

[Dazzer23]

Did we break the world record for most blocked shots there?

A total lack of creativity or spark in their box.

[Redsnappa]

'We just have to do our job, we don't have to worry whether other teams drop points or not,' was the frankly bizarre refrain in the PL Fixtures thread.

So what happens when we don't do our job like that shambles out there today?

[stockdam]

Taking off Diaz was crazy

Like others, he didn’t gave a good match. Kept making it obvious that he was coming inside. Besides the formation wasn’t working so Klopp rightly tried to change things but that didn’t work.

[Dree]

0-0. We should have won. Don't understand the handball rule. Thought it was a clear penalty. We should have found a goal even so. It was so one sided and we need to score when we have the ball in the attacking half all game. More to come from this team.

He arm was barely out and it cannoned of his body, not sure that’s ever been handball.

[Rush 82]

I am fucking furious. Furious. I think the last time I was this angry after a game was Kiev. That was fucking pathetic. The worst Man United team in Premier League history and the worst goalkeeper in the professional game and THAT is what we served up? Fuck right off. Absolutely fucking pathetic showing.

:lmao

[Ultimate Bromance]

Livid at that, that's fucking pathetic. They were awful. Anyone who claims our performance was down to anything they did is off their head, just 2 incredibly mediocre sides. West Ham and Arsenal would be licking their lips after that garbage.

[ApfelStudel]

Can we talk about the elephant in the room which is the lack of quality in that front three? Horrendous decision making really, just not clicking at all.

No clue what has happened there. I honestly thought they would be scoring for fun this season.

[Clayton Bigsby]

Not our best. They came for that but had the best chances.

[Coolie High]

Hard to see us winning the league, when we're not ruthless at the right moments, the mentality doesn't seem as strong in the big games, we actually haven't had a good performance in any big game this season.

[ac]

That’s been coming for weeks that result. Can’t keep playing shit and getting away with it. The subs were puzzling and the decision making felt lazy and a real lack of belief.

We need to sort ourselves out otherwise Arsenal will take advantage of it in the way other teams aren’t.

Yep. Judging the teams on todays performance, Arsenal look far more cohesive and fluent team than Liverpool. A worryingly flat performance from most involved today

[medley]

We barely tested Onana all game. What an embarrassing attacking display that was. Good job Van Dijk was there at the back as he snuffed out a lot of their attacks that could have easily turned into goals.

[le_boss]

How can all our attcking players be off form at the same time?!?

[Nick110581]

They were horrific.

[Kansti]

Our forward options are dire. We don’t deserve to be champions if we can’t beat dross like these.

[damomad]

We didn’t deserve anything more than a point. So much greed on display from our forwards.

[Vegeta]

Dreading the Arsenal game, we have been shit for weeks.

[Geezer08]

Feared a shit performance with all the prematch hype! That was sloppy as fuck, but the United are always edgy

[Rosario]

Lots of shots but really didn’t create anything of note for most of the game.

[garumn]

FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK! That is all. Wtf was that.

[Tonyh8su]

Our defence is the one thing I’m not worried about.

Really? This shockingly poor United team cut us up at least twice with barely 3 passes forward. That was one of the worst performances of the Klopp era. That result is as bad as not beating Luton town, in fact it's probably worse. Onana having a clean sheet at Anfield? Pathetic.

[TSC]

Another poor performance. Dodgy keeper had nowt to do.

[killer-heels]

Terrible. Someone needs to kick the shit out of these players trying worldies all the time

[Cozzymoto]

FSG need to open their wallets come Jan. Not sure if its complacency, but most players were bad today aside from Endo and Virg.

[smicer07]

'We just have to do our job, we don't have to worry whether other teams drop points or not,' was the frankly bizarre refrain in the PL Fixtures thread.

So what happens when we don't do our job like that shambles out there today?

Then we won't win the league? Kind of answered your own weird question.

[OkieRedman]

How many times did a forward shoot from 18 yards out into a defender when there was a fullback running through to put in a quality cross? The decision-making around the box is brain-dead.
