Topic: Half time thread - Man Utd 0 Liverpool 1

[vicar]

How on earth are we not 3 or 4 up, so many missed chances, good chances too. I hope we dont regret it, as we are still open to their counter.
Just need to keep playing and be a little more clinical and put this to bed.

Oh and Taylor books Bradley, probably correct after about 5 mins but only last weekend fails to book Jesus for a foul early in the game against City and then doesn't book Garnacho or Mainoo in this game.

[MonsLibpool]

We've had 15 shots and while shots don't tell the full story, we should be 2-0 up. We can't afford to let them off the hook again.

It went as expected. We were sloppy at the start and could have conceded but the goal has shocked them. I think their reaction mirrors City and Arsenal fans. However, we really need to press home our advantage and exploit the space they are giving us.

[buttersstotch]

Some of the decision making in the final third is beyond stupid. Utd are defending ok at times, but jeez we should be at least 2 up. Hopefully Klopp calms them down in the 2nd half as they’re still a threat despite being nonexistent so far.

[Number 7]

So far so good. Should be up by at least 2 but aren’t because of bad finishing
Mo really has to do much better with his chances

[the_red_pill]

Nah.. we need to score another. We haven't learned.

[jacobs chains]

We're massively better and winning but we might end up regretting our wastefulness.

[FiSh77]

These are fucking shite, could easily be game over

Don't let the spawny c*nts off the hook

[art03]

Salah needs to get his A game on. Seems a bit lost out there. Had several good chances and tested the keeper but we all know he can do better. The United players seems intent on taking both the player and ball and the refs seems happy to let them keep doing that. Need to keep playing this way and nick a 2nd and 3rd.

[rob1966]

Should be all over. Do the same 2nd half, be more clinical and this can be 4 or 5 again.

Oh and Taylor is a c*nt.

[Wool]

Complete and utter domination but we’ve given them a lifeline by not being up by more.

[Heritage]

United have no shots. We are dominating them. Insane from ETH to play so open against us. They are lucky not to be 3-0 down.

[lgvkarlos]

Should be out of sight, some great play but some sloppy passes killing us.

[GreatEx]

This makes me nervous, you can just see the spawny pricks scoring with their first shot

[ShrewKop]

We need a second badly. We all know how United spawn a goal from nowhere.

Alexis Mac Allister is just incredible.

Bruno Fernandes is an embarrassment.

[jonnypb]

So wasteful, I hope this doesn’t cost us.

[TomDcs]

Won’t said what has been already about being clinical, but we have the subs and may need to use them to try and get us over the line here.

[Nick110581]

Hopefully Klopp will give them a rocket at Ht.

So sloppy in final third.

[Pat The Red]

How is this just 1 nil??? Dangerous score.
Macca....just gets better and better.

[Knight]

It’s not just the finishing. It’s also the decision making. Robertson shoots from outside the box when Nunez is outside him, at the end of the half Szoboslai takes ages to pass to Bradley which means the Itd defender can get across in time to make a block. It is also the finishing though. Szoboslai and Salah failed to hit the target with pretty decent chances.

[duvva 💅]

Once we got through their initial rising to the occasion we’ve been far and away the better team.

Must take more of our chances though. Hopefully we get one early second half and don’t let them back in again

Really good stuff from us though. Played through the occasion stuff gained control. Now make it count

[markedasred]

14 ATTEMPTS TO THEIR ZERO, NO WONDER i CAN ONLY HEAR THE TRAVELLING kOP SINGING

[hide5seek]

Klopp needs to  bollock the players. wasting chances  after being all  over them, we don't want an if only game.

[RyanBabel19]

All over them after the first 10 mins
 

Just need to be sharper in the final third, an extra pass to open up space for a tap in, better finishing & better final ball

Gotta take the openings we are creating. We've been good though

[JovaJova]

Hard to believe we are only 1 up after all that  but they have defended well

They have defended appalling. It’s only poor finishing that has saved this from being another massacre.

[Lone Star Red]

Score early and I think they’ll fold like a lawn chair. United are hanging by a thread.

[Working Class Hen-Pecked Hero]

No exaggeration but these don't even deserve to be on the same pitch as us. Side footing balls to keepers and leaning back are the only thing preventing this from double figures

[vicar]

Bradley's yellow card was ridiculous when you consider..

1. How Taylor refereed the City vs Arsenal game last week.
2. We were told when the attack doesn't come to an end you can't get booked for stopping it.
3. Garnacho didn't get booked.

It is so irritating, not just the lack of consistency, but we always get the negative decision, what happened to it evening out over the season?

[HardworkDedication]

I'm loving the fact we are leading but this has a repeat of the fa cup game all over again. It's really bad how wasteful we've been.

[A-Bomb]

The next goal is so important.

[OkieRedman]

We lose are heads in the box. Every. Single. Player.

Bradley, who seems to often pass when he should shot, shoots when there is a square ball on for a tap in. So so maddening. 

[Tobelius]

Shots 0-15 and we're in total control apart for the first few minutes,some frustrating finishing though.

You just know these can find a goal or two from somewhere and who knows what the refs give them so please finish these off lads.

Now that's said well done so far boys!

[peachybum]

Same as the cup. So easy the players lose their edge. They start taking easy and give that rabble a chance they don't deserve. We need another goal soon.

[Schmarn]

This is nothing like the cup game. Controlled intensity and we’d be 3 up but for some last ditch blocks. There will be even more space in the second half and we have great options off the bench. Second goal kills this.

[kezzy]

Totally dominant but too wasteful in front of goal. No exaggeration to say we could have had 4 or 5.   Early goal second half and kill these off

[RJH]

Expect United to come out strong at the beginning of the 2nd half.

Need to weather the first 10, then grab a second to kill their spirits, then another 3 or 4 for fun.

[Tokyoite]

Can't stop thinking how Jota would have been a massive help in this game. Too wasteful yet again. Hopefully it doesn't come back to bite us in the ass.

[Cruiser]

Playing brilliantly but we really need to get another. These missed chances could bite us in the arse.

Finish them!

[smicer07]

Same as the cup. So easy the players lose their edge. They start taking easy and give that rabble a chance they don't deserve. We need another goal soon.

You'd think we would have learnt but seemingly not.

[NarutoReds]

I swear God I saw it in LIVE broadcast TV, Maguire just grabbed Salah's shoulder from behind in front of the ref.

Like literally fucking, in front, of Anthony Taylor.

And zero foul.

[MJD-L4]

Similar story to the FA cup game so far. Totally dominant but wasting chances. Should be 3 up. Hopefully doesn't come back to bite us.

Would like to see a bit more intensity in the press for the front 3 in the 2nd half
