Topic: Half time: Liverpool 0-0 Manchester United

[Fromola]

Atmosphere is really flat 

Poor game all round by both teams.

This front 3 just hasn’t worked for ages, maybe freshen it up a bit

Problem with all the pre-match talk was how it'd be an easy win. That never bodes well.

[duvva 💅]

We just aren’t quite gelling, everything ALMOST comes off but there’s not enough quality or precision about us. Eventually law of averages will see us get it right but we need to make it right through our quality.

Frustrating. But if we can get it right once even it might be enough

[eeekaj]

Wasn’t keen on Klopp’s starting 11 before the game and it shows. I wish the crowd would stop shouting NUNEZ for all of the daft stuff he does as well, he might actually try doing the basics then.

[ShrewKop]

I think everyone was so focused on how bad United are, we forget we've hardly been storming games lately. Dom has been dreadful, I'd get him off and Elliott on.

We just need a goal, and we'll be fine. They've Johnny Evans in defense, and Onana in goal, and we've done nothing.

[JJ Red]

If we concede first we're donald ducked! This really has all the hallmarks of a very frustrating game ending in great dissapointment

Bad performances catching up with us, coupled with an entire misfiring frontline and lack of balance in the middle.

[cdav]

Zero patience, feels we want to score straight away rather then sustain attacks. Really poor decision making too when the simple extra pass is on

Keep moving them and they will break

[StevoHimself]

Think there might be a sending off here too. Endo or Amrabat probably.

[red1977]

Think Elliot would be a smart sub at some point. Link up play isnt quite there. Would get Salah coming in receiving balls facing goal rather than being out on the wing. We are well on top though.

[88_RED]

Patience is the key.. Be patient.. 9-0 in corners without a goal.. 

Let's strive for quality instead of quantity.. 

[stockdam]

Oliver doing my head in. Letting these niggly fouls going unpunished yet books endo for that.

I don’t even think there was contact. Nunez needs to stop picking up soft yellow cards and to stay onside.

[ac]

Midfield poor - Sobozlai in particuar dreadful. Our front three our not a patch on Firmino, Mane and peak Salah - very little inspiration or quality when our midfield are struggling. The difference Thiago makes to this team is immense

[Mighty_Red]

Dominated procedings but the final ball has been poor, decent moves have broken down too easily before we can get a shot on goal. Vvd and Konate should be scoring from their chances.

We've given them a bit too much, now we have to up the intensity a touch and force them into more mistakes.

[xbugawugax]

think we are putting in the effort but not much quality and cohesiveness. seems like we hardly have any patterns up front and our front 3 seems to be playing on their own.

think klopp and the coaches will give the lads around 10/15 more minutes before making some subs. elliot might be needed again and maybe gakpo and curtis.

[Robinred]

Dom has been sloppy, Darwin needs to learn to time his runs. So, so frustrating from him. Harvey and Cody on imo

The phrase “his form has fallen off a cliff” certainly applies to Dom atm. Trent is so sloppy too, and Darwin is like an 11 year old when it comes to offside.

[Clayton Bigsby]

Awful game. Man Utd are so bad..we will win and move on. These lot just trying to avoid getting pumped like last year. Zero ambition. Might take a TAA rocket.

[proudred]

Disjointed football. Even salah is poor. Someone needs to play the game with risk not these side to side football

[naYoRHa2b]

It's not that hard to play a simple 5 yard pass at a decent weight. Or stay onside, or move the ball reasonably quick.

It's frustrating watching us lately, we get the result in the end but the football is nowhere near enjoyable for most of the match. 4 worldies against Fulham but we played the same stuff for most of the game, same against Palace. 

[lindylou100]

The whole front looks off the pace, everything was disjointed. Szobo really struggled as did Salah and Nunez…hmm.

[Geezer08]

Sloppy as fuck! Slow and poor passing

[Coolie High]

One of the worst performances i've ever seen from us, just absolutely horrible, literally to the man. Somewhere along the line meritocracy has gone out of the window and we've just started playing players based on who is more expensive, Konate over Gomez, Gravenberch over Jones, and so on.

[TepidT2O]

Seems like a Harvey Elliot game this.

Going exactly the way I expected though.  Hold your nerve.

[Caligula?]

Think there might be a sending off here too. Endo or Amrabat probably.

I reckon Endo might be off at the half or not long after if he comes out or the second half. I can see Marabat getting another yellow for sure though.

[Kashinoda]

Crowd complaints are weird, loud as fuck on FuboTV using the Premier League feed.

[bornandbRED]

We’ve been crap; the press has been overhyped too - they’ve managed to turn us around a fair bit but they’re so shite it hasn’t mattered.

You wouldn’t think we’re at the top of the league listening to the crowd, or watching this display. Need more sharpness and intensity all around in the second.

[Trotterwatch]

Very flat, so many situations that last season we'd have scored from.  I'm expecting much more in the 2nd half.

[Barneylfc∗]

They're there for the taking. Our front 3 are playing like they're complete strangers

[Saltashscouse]

Nine corners that half and about one header won , we need to capitalise on Onana being shie , put someone on him at corners

[number 168]

That endo booking 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Is he for real

A guy who has the badges but doesn't understand football. Endo was perfectly entitled to clear the ball, Amrabat stoops down, which is dangerous play, Endo catches him midriff and he goes down holding his head. You wonder what refs study to get those nice big badges?

[Mister Flip Flop]

This should come as no surprise to anyone who’s watched us since before the city game. We’ve barely created anything sustained of note for weeks. No ides why people thought this would be a romp.

Who thought it would be a romp?

[Shankly998]

Need Macallister back, playing further up he can link midfield and attack really well, in his absence would like to see Elliot second half.

[alonsoisared]

Again really struggling to create chances. The front three looks so exciting on paper but it's just not happening out on the pitch.

Part of that today is just Dom and Mo being off with their passing, but it's a trend over the last month or so that we really struggle to create opportunities from open play. It would also be lovely to have a good first half for a change.

Big second half to come, the good thing is that United have offered zilch so far and look absolutely terrified. If we get one I think two will follow but we need to figure out what we're doing as an attacking unit very very quickly.

[Coolie High]

Midfield poor - Sobozlai in particuar dreadful. Our front three our not a patch on Firmino, Mane and peak Salah - very little inspiration or quality when our midfield are struggling. The difference Thiago makes to this team is immense

Thiago walks into this midfield, and probably Bajcetic as well.

[Caligula?]

Who thought it would be a romp?

Nearly the whole world.

[jillcwhomever]

Have we got an extra seven thousand in the ground or only seven thousand?

Really poor from the crowd if truth be told.

They were noisy at the beginning when the team were better and at least started with a bit of tempo. But the players need to give them something as well, and we've not done enough.

[JRed]

Well that was shit. These are not just there for the taking, they are there for the absolute fucking hammering.
I’d get Elliot on for Dom and give Nunez another 15 mins before bringing on Gakpo.

We hear a lot on here about ‘match going fans’ , well they need to start making some fucking noise.

[stockdam]

The game is screaming out for Elliott who is good around the area.

[KevLFC]

Midfield poor - Sobozlai in particuar dreadful. Our front three our not a patch on Firmino, Mane and peak Salah - very little inspiration or quality when our midfield are struggling. The difference Thiago makes to this team is immense

Thiago? I wouldn't be surprised if he be off in Jan or the summer

[meady1981]

Who thought it would be a romp?

Most of the media chat and a good few on here.

[OkieRedman]

Seems like our only hope of scoring is a set piece. We can't open anyone up. The amount of wasted opportunities is immense.
They take the wrong option 85% of the time and when they finally do the right thing they cock it up.

Szoboszlai looking every bit his age out there. To amped up or something. He and Trent are suppose to be the cultured players in this side able to pick the lock, yet Dom looks almost drunk out there.

Harvey on now please.

[Judge Red]

Jesus Christ, what the actual fuck was that!? Nobody comes out of that with any credit. And can somebody please explain that the offside rule to Darwin.

To be fair he waits so long to get a pass on many occasions its no wonder. Need to move it quicker. When we do they can’t live with us
