Topic: Harry Maguire considering his options thread

I've been at both of them, and I'm going this Sunday 

You'll be OK, Carra isn't playing

[Crosby Nick]

Since November 2003 we've played them 21 times at Anfield, all competitions, and they've scored 2 in a game twice.

Quite simply, if we score 2 goals we most likely win, and almost definitely won't lose.

Hopefully we don't put David James in nets!

Wow. Funny how you remember the ones that hurt against these pricks.

Think those two games were a typically stuffy 2-1 in Rodgers first season when they got a dodgy penalty and Johnson was injured and then that game Mata scored twice in Rodgers last (full season). Some stuffy 1-0 wins for them in that time too. Can think of a couple under Rafa and one in Klopp’s first season.

Eurgh, preferred it when these were shite.

[SamLad]

Definitely nets.

Its not mate, its nets

Lots of use youse are.

Did he do it at the Etihad?

no, it was during their "we won the PL" parade.

These not finding a buyer, and is not finding a buyer, is a bit of an ominous signal for the financial health of football.  Strong indicator that nobody can see any growth ahead, you’d reckon.  I wonder how shrewd Todd Boehly is feeling these days.

Different nationality sportswasher.

I think he was implying the Etihad is usually empty.

Ah! My bad! Apologies.

[Mister Flip Flop]

Unfortunately with the money they've been spending the last few years they eventually where going to find their feet again and now they have the newly self appointed best manager in the world ever they may have a chance of competing for titles in the next few years. They've never really lost the referee's and officials taking their side on and off the pitch either so that gives them an extra push in tight games and when off field events like the riot that got our game cancelled and they received no punishment at all.

Amazing the way the anti Glazer protests have died down all of a sudden 

[The North Bank]

Casimero won’t be getting any better anyway, next season he ll be 31. The lynchpin of the team, by the time they build a squad good enough to challenge for the big trophies they’ll need to replace him.

[HeartAndSoul]

After drawing Fulham at home, these c*nts have now played every single league cup game at home bar the two legged semi final and every single game they can possibly play in the FA Cup at home too with the semis at Wembley. Everything falling their way at present.

And just when Howard Webb returned at PGMOL to pick them up as well.

[The North Bank]

Champions elect , one hand on the title, best manager in the world, 11 points behind.

[4pool]

As we play them Sunday, let's stretch that to them being 14 points behind.

[rob1966]

You'd think that this lot were prime Brazil the state of the two bellends on itv comms last night, not a jammy bunch of shite. West ham should have been 3-0 up but for Antonio being shit in front of goal

[Crosby Nick]

For what it’s worth, I have a mate who is a semi reasonable United fan and he thinks they’ll lose on Sunday. Whether he’s just trying to put reverse mockers on, I don’t know. But he thinks they’ve played too many games of Kate and are giving up too many chances.

Think it’ll be a case of whether we can take our chances if we start well. And if we do, can they find a way to disallow them. They are resilient and can be clinical but the closer we get to the game, the more I’m looking forward to it now. Konate and Virgil back is huge for us. Midfield obviously a slight worry but Darwin being a menace and the other forwards all looking threatening at times gives me some optimism.

Would be great to derail that title charge.*

[lobsterboy]

Refs will have already been told by league bosses and by SKY to facilitate a utd win to keep their title charge going.
Expect them to fall over in and around the box constantly and be rewarded every single time while we get nothing.
VAR and the wavy lines also primed to assist as much as possible.

Coote is VAR

Somehow, Madley got the refs job and Kavanagh 4th official, was expecting the Altrincham fan to get this one

Hilarious 😂.

I knew they'd be a United fan officiating on the pitch or on VAR, be nice to play these once with out someone from Greater Manchester or a Nottingham based United fan not involved in any way in the Officiating.

It was bad under the previous PGMOL boss and it will carry on under Fergie's puppet on a string Howard Webb

It was so blatant that Anthony Taylor did this fixture 3 times in a row, (twice at OT).

[semit5]

Didn’t there used to be rules that refs from the local area can’t officiate their favourite teams games?

Mike Dean, even though he is a Tranmere supporter and actually goes the games, wasn't allowed to do our games. Obviously, once the Utd supporting refs came along, they needed to change the rules............

They're all from 'Altrincham' and support 'Stockport County', mate.

[lionel_messias]

The golden procession Man U are currently on will hopefully turn into a golden shower on Sunday.

I've been told by someone Kavanagh mentored as a ref that he is 99.9% certain Kavanagh is a Utd fan.

If Fabinho is playing I'm putting a bet on him for a red - after the let off he had a few weeks back against Wolves was it and now the Sky agenda that he should have been sent off last night  ( ) I just feel like it's building up to something.

At least we had good practice last night with all the Wolves whining and flopping over to prepare for Sunday. Neves is like a mini Fernandes.

His let off a few weeks ago wasn’t against Wolves. It was Brighton.

[redgriffin73]

We've played Wolves and Brighton so many times this year they've all merged into one

[BigCDump]

I'm loving this new found Utd bravado. No one (Utd fans) talks about new manager bounce or one striker purple patch any more. This Olefication will be televised. 

Are we not entertained! 

I kid you not, Sunday will see us up against the mighty Bissaka, Fred, Antony, Fatshaw and Carthorst. All five are almost guaranteed starters. We might lose, but we've lost to equally shit players this season. That was because we were even worse, somehow.

But now Konate is back and VvD is feeling safer again. Bacjetic is actually doing some real work and most importantly Salah, Nunez and Jota look dangerous. Let's hope Ten Green doesn't lose his bottle(s) and go defensive.

[Wengerscoat]

Its been their template this season. Get battered all game then score jammy goals and take the win. Same thing happened vs Lester and countless games this season.

Incredibly lucky with dodgy VAR calls, constant luck during games but the entire RedCafe fan base has the gob to keep labelling other teams 'lucky'.

You wanna try living in Manchester. They are giddy as fuck - you'd think they were storming the league the way they are going on.

I always want us to smash them, but this time I really want it to shut them up a little.

It shows just how far they've fallen.

[CraigDS]

It's genuinely a joke. One guy was taking the piss because we've "only won" a PL and CL in recent seasons (ignoring all else we've achieved). Not even a hint of self awareness that during that time they've massively outspent us on fees and wages, yet have not even come close to winning either of those and are still 11 points off the top.

[farawayred]

Would be interesting to see their reaction after we finish above them…

They'll go back into hiding under the rocks they've made home the last decade.

Nope!
