Topic: FT Liverpool 0 vs Manchester United 0

[elsewhere]

Given how happy the c*nts are at redcafe, clearly they are playing for Top 4 not to win the league as much as they refuse to admit.

[Fordy]

Good performance shit result

Shit performance, good result.

Just because we had more of the ball doesn't mean it was a good performance. We didn't do much with the ball and tested the keeper once.

[Wabaloolah]

Typical Utd performance under Shitcoat, park the bus, offer nothing going forward, we had the better of the game but it was a pretty shit encounter overall.

[Juneau]

Obviously United parked the bus but feel the tempo when we were in possession was far too slow throughout, especially from the midfield 3. All I felt were guilty of taking too many touches, hesitating on the ball and often making the wrong decision in the pass. Made it only too easy for United to hold shape knowing that we weren't sharp enough to expose them.

Not so bad result I guess but feel that with United offering no threat this was a game for us to win, and we lacked the guile to do it.

[Clint Eastwood]

We really need a plan B to beat this park-the-bus defensive teams. Being effective from corners would be a great start. We can win headers but not direct them.

[Nick110581]

Yep, zero chance of winning it though, City have already gone to Stamford Bridge and totally outclassed Chelsea. You shit the bed away to crisis club Liverpool. Your manager is a coward.

Pulis team who spent millions.

[Coolie High]

We need another striker as well, where do we find a top one with enough technical ability to play our game, difference between us and City, we have no ruthlessness, just fairytale football.

[RyanBabel19]

Complete domination

Should have had a pen, blatant foul from Herrera. Lukaku should have been off as should Herrera for his usual theatrics and continuous fouls

Can't wait to see Mourinho complaining when a side out man u's his team

[Desert Red Fox]

Frustrating draw, but I thought we played quite well. Yes, Mourinho's plan was executed without a hitch, they got what he wanted - shite football, though.

Good cameo from THE OX (lol) but Sturridge was, sadly, anonymous. Shame. Can't fault Klopp for making those subs, I'm sure Salah and Coutinho were knackered. Oh, if only Mané hadn't sustained that fucking injury...

Let's hope we smash Maribor next. We're due a confortable victory for quite a while now.

[God's Left Peg]

And a c*nt

[nomis]

Atkinson was a joke, nobody wants to see yellow cards for nothing but if you boot both feet from under our player without even coming close to getting the ball I expect more than a freekick.

The Coutinho foul was a definite penalty which of course would have completely changed the game but the ref bottles it.

[Coolie High]

We really need a plan B to beat this park-the-bus defensive teams. Being effective from corners would be a great start. We can win headers but not direct them.

The plan b is to have a top striker and a better more creative Cm duo that's it really.

[kasperoff]

We can defend well when we contentrate. While back four played well, didn't give them much of a sniff. It's against the lower teams we tend to gift the shit goals.

You're right. The defensive concentration was spot on today. Good aggression as well. That needs to be the standard, every game.

[Cantona]

You must have blue balls after fucking us for 90 mins and not finishing.

Shit performance but great result.

[Johnnyboy1973]

Played but well but ultimately disappointing. Again.

Utd came not to lose so will walk away the happier team.

Drawing at home to them isn't a problem in isolation, it only becomes a problem when you've dropped points to the likes of Watford and Burnley.

Happy for Joe and thought the Ox looked a proper threat.

[Wabaloolah]

Given how happy the c*nts are at redcafe, clearly they are playing for Top 4 not to win the league as much as they refuse to admit.

can't see them winning the league no matter how much better they do against the dross.

[Ste08]

Given how happy the c*nts are at redcafe, clearly they are playing for Top 4 not to win the league as much as they refuse to admit.

To be fair if we were 7 points clear of them coming off a draw at OT I wouldn't be too upset.

[Kekule]

Pulis got the raging horn watching that United performance I'm sure. Everyone else struggled to stay awake.

[hide5seek]

Taking how we've been defence rise so far this season and Utd are averging 3 goals a game, i'd have taken a 0-0 before kick off. seeing how shit poor and cowardly Utd actualy we're, its a bit disappointing we didn't actually win in the end.
Still defensively this is something we need to build on.

[jooneyisdagod]

Btw if anyone is wondering why people complain about Henderson's passing, please watch this game. Didn't hit a single decent creative pass all game and often picked the wrong option.

[God's Left Peg]

That midfield needs some work. Starting with the captain, sadly.

[Yevgeny]

Real lack of quality in Utd's team. Not a chance they're beating City to the title. Typical of the English media that they're already wanking over a display like that where they had 1 shot on target and showed nothing on the ball. Their whole approach screamed inferiority.

[DdeGea]

Yep, zero chance of winning it though, City have already gone to Stamford Bridge and totally outclassed Chelsea. You shit the bed away to crisis club Liverpool. Your manager is a coward.

Wouldn't say zero chance but yeah don't fancy us to win it this year. Should have lost today in all fairness but every man and his dog knew how we would play today, the onus was on Liverpool to take the game to United. You did, but just didn't quite have the ability to break us down. That De Gea save swung everything.

[Clint Eastwood]

Given how happy the c*nts are at redcafe, clearly they are playing for Top 4 not to win the league as much as they refuse to admit.

They don't seem happy to me.

Yeah, should have had a pen on Phil.

But why weren't our lads getting in the ref's face about it? I can't remember Hendo talking to the ref once. We need to be playing the ref in big games like this, especially at home.

[Anywhichwayicant]

In fairness, it was comfortable for both teams. Probably the most confident I've been with our defence in a long time, looked very in control.

We had a lot of the ball but didn't do much with it.

[Fitzy.]

Ox was a good sub. The other two had to be taken off because I imagine they're both starting in the cl and had just travelled around the world and back in the past week.

Precisely

[surfer. Fuck you generator.]

Are the Mancs seriously going to pretend they are ok with coming to Anfield and practising 90 minute defending? What a load of shite from Mourinho, Newcastle showed more adventure in the opening 15 - 20 minutes against us than Utd did at any point in this one.

[DdeGea]

Team of fucking wankers.

Who put 50p in you?

[GreatEx]

Exactly. A clean sheet, with some good defending. We played some lovely stuff too, just need to work on the final ball. I actually think that was as good as I've seen us play straight after an international break.

The ref was awful Gomez kicked in the air no yellow, high boot near Can's face no yellow again. Doubtless though they will say the ref had a good game as he kept it flowing. How just one United player got booked when they were constantly fouling our players god knows.

Good call on the int'l break. We suffer from the fact that our best 4 players are non-European, two of them South American, so they have a shitload of miles to travel, and the early Saturday kick-off really punishes us because of that. So all things considered, I'm glad Bob and Phil were able to put in a good shift and that Salah wasn't understandably a little flat after the euphoria of the week.

The ridiculous thing about refereeing in games like this is how easily the cards come in the last 15 minutes when you have to commit murder to get carded in the first half. That Smalling foul that earned the game's first booking was nothing: low impact, possibly a tad cynical but probably not one of the top 20 bookable incidents of the game. Is this just an English thing? It's giving yard dogs licence to take a few lumps out of the best players and kill the game as a spectacle. Somehow I doubt the shite Spanish clubs are give 45 minutes of kick-a-Messi.

[sms1986]

Let's hope we smash Maribor next. We're due a confortable victory for quite a while now.

Oh yeah, we'll smash a team to bits sometime in the next few months, I think. I don't think we're all that bad, if we take our chances more we'll win games in which we dominated, which so far has been most of them.

[LiverBirdKop]

If Salah leaves that ball for Coutinho in the first half we win.

Main point, Mourinho is such a fucking coward.

Salah leaves me scratching my head sometimes. Think he could do a lot more, he does a couple things very poorly. And yeah, Coutinho would've hammered that thing into the corner of net. Oh well.

[hide5seek]

Given how happy the c*nts are at redcafe, clearly they are playing for Top 4 not to win the league as much as they refuse to admit.

There not though, plenty on there calling Maureen a coward etc.

[The Final Third]

This shitehousery is starting to wear thin..fuck right off with your anti-football you wankers.

We were fucking ace..save for converting..on the back of our performances so far this season we deserve to be better placed but the table never lies and all that.

Still finding something in the contest but it's no fun when the other side seems to be playing a different sport.

[El Lobo]

We really need a plan B to beat this park-the-bus defensive teams. Being effective from corners would be a great start. We can win headers but not direct them.

Today we’ve created three, at least, fantastic chances.

I keep seeing this and yeah it’s frustrating as fuck, but the only plan B we need is to play ourselves out of this little rut our attackers are in at the moment. This isn’t Burnley last season. Burnley, United, Moscow, Newcastle are all games we’ve created multiple excellent chances. That doesn’t mean we need to change tactic.

[God's Left Peg]

Atkinson was a joke, nobody wants to see yellow cards for nothing but if you boot both feet from under our player without even coming close to getting the ball I expect more than a freekick.

The Coutinho foul was a definite penalty which of course would have completely changed the game but the ref bottles it.

Suddenly refs don't give a fuck about high feet now either. Funny that...

[Suareznumber7]

Shit performance, good result.

Just because we had more of the ball doesn't mean it was a good performance. We didn't do much with the ball and tested the keeper once.

We created quite a few good chances actually.  The ridiculous save that De Gea made as well as the Can chance are two great chances that we simply need to score on. 

[martinsquirtle]

They came with a game plan, no matter how dire it was - it worked. They were there for the taking and we did not capitalise. Frustrating. At least we got a clean sheet

[10 years on]

Just not improving are we, getting worse if anything.

[kennedy81]

You must have blue balls after fucking us for 90 mins and not finishing.

Shit performance but great result.

My eyes are fucking bleeding. Don't know how you can bear watching that shite when you play decent opposition.
