Now Liverpool have to move Coutinho out wide so that takes away their creativity from the middle, he can put in a cross but he doesn't get to the byline very well nor does he have anybody to pick out in their forward line.
Then the problem of Liverpools fullback being unable to overlap..All Coutinho will do is cut in and shoot. Over and over again.
I think we could see double digits here with few troubling DDG

Have United went behind in any game since the Super Cup?

It'll be interesting to see the reaction of the players if Liverpool manage to take the lead in the first half.

4-0.

It's basically our default result, especially in fixtures we drew last season.

If we got that result,I'm sure there would be a few whisperings of sack Klopp starting to brew.

Unlikely score at Anfield though unless they get a man sent off.

 

[Josep Dowling]

We should win this game. Mane out and their front 3 travel back from the other side of the world this week so they should be jet lagged.

So you know what will happen they will scrap a 1-0 win, Klopp will berate the 4th official all afternoon and get away with it. Jose will say one thing about a contentious decision and get sent to the stands. Heard it here first.

Either that or it'll be a 2 or 3 goal early rout until we get into it then take the game at the usual pace rendering it massively frustrating.

In all seriousness though, I'm fairly positive about it. I'm just not sure how certain I am about that positivity.

 

[André Dominguez]

Dunno why, but I think we will play with 3 center backs at this game.

Haha I like the optimism

BTW, last time we scored 4 at Anfield as 1969. Even 3 at Anfield was almost 20 years ago, in 1999. So if we score 3 this year, treble confirmed.

This. Worst game of the season for the simple reason theres a risk of having to listen to them for weeks if they win. Dont mind the game at OT but this one i hate. Even contemplated today doing something with the kids on Saturday so i wouldnt have to endure it...then i caught myself on.

 

[Cantonagotmehere]

I agree, especially with the midfield issues. I'm worried about Matic getting over-cooked.

Pub in Salford near AJ Bell to watch the match, that won't kill an LFC fan whose with us?

 

[sammsky1]

Only a few days to go and getting very excited, after such a long delay.

Team selection very difficult to predict: given Liverpools press and speed and our midfield injury issues, I'd play 5 at the back and then have speed and strengh on the wings to hit Liverpool on the counter.

---------------DDG-----------------
------Bailly - Smalling -Jones.........
Valencia............................Young
................................................
------------Matic - Herrera..............
Rashford............................Martial ..... (or replace either with Lingard)
----------------Lukaku...................

De Gea
Bailly--Smalling--Jones
Valencia--Matic--Herrera--Young
Mkhitaryan--Lukaku--Martial

subs: Romero, Darmian, Tuanzebe/McTominay, Blind, Lingard, Mata, Rashford

or maybe Rashford in for Mkhitaryan​

My dream team for this game. You think both Rash and Martial to start ? Same prediction except Mkhi for Martial. Not surprised to see both Rash Martial though.

I agree. Both Rashford and Martial won't start.

While the 3-4-3 looks good, I still think Mourinho will do the 4-2-3-1 as per norm.

De Gea
Valencia Bailly Jones Young
Herrera Matic
Mata Mkhitaryan Rashford
Lukaku

Subs: Martial, Lingard and Carrick

Rashford to start and run the feckers down then Martial to come on and terrorise them further.​

Seems like it's been ages since we played. Glad we're the first match of the weekend.

Nervous. I'm always nervous about this one, always pretty relaxed about their OT visit.

I'm on nightshift on Fri, Sat and Sun so not really sure how to approach this. What I think I'll opt for is coming home at 8:30am, going to bed, have my alarm wake me at 1:30pm, I'll tentatively look at my phone for the BBC updates of goals and if it's looking good for us then I'll watch the 2nd half.

Anyone seen the pictures of Pogba in training in tomorrow's newspapers?

Would be the most Mourinho thing ever to have overplayed the injury to play him Saturday.

You will be an hour late, the match kicks off at half 12.

Ignore that I'm on night shifts myself and misread your post.

So are we hoping for a last minute winner or a comfortable 4-0 win?

 

[SirMattBugsby]

Dunno why, but I think we will play with 3 center backs at this game.

Yeah me too, although I'm not sure if that extra CB will be an extra man in defense (3-5-2) or in midfield partnering Matic and man-marking Coutinho. I guess a little of both depending on phase of play.

Then again, Herrera can man-mark Coutinho too. In that case, Mata will play more in the middle for creativity and pressing, while Mkhitaryan should operate in the right channel to exploit Moreno.
