That's why you press. The one occasion we pressed, we managed to create a goalscoring opportunity. Unfortunately, Lukaku missed, but when you press teams high up and manage to win the ball, you put yourself in a great position.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) was joined by comedian Ali Woods to look back at the best and worst moments of a rollercoaster season with the annual United Hour Awards.
Has Ten Hag been sacked yet? We're not sure and we hope not, but it's looking more likely as the days pass.
Who should replace him and why is it taking so long to make a decision?
1-0

Fear factor. We had it for about 20 years.
United are easy to press what with our cumbersome, defensive football.
Brighton are shite, quelle surprise.
Sad state of affairs when watching Liverpool is more entertaining than watching your own club.
Feel sick just saying it.
Feel sick just saying it.
Press a shit team and they'll panic...Lukaku would be on the halfway line.
Rubbish. They press and go into the opposition box a lot more than we do. They have a game plan in attack.
The difference is their Attack actually have a game plan, understanding and work for each other while ours is disjointed, lazy and slow.
If you think that's the only difference you need to pay more attention
Or a manager who is against pressing
Yeah it’s so bloody depressing. Even Lukaku would’ve fluffed that shot.
Oh, I thought it was much more than that.
We weren't even capable of picking couple of good passes against these lot.
Imagine how we felt under Hodgson. I'd tune in to literally any other game that was on
Keep deceiving yourself.
It's nice that Arsenal fans finally got to see Lucas Perez play.
High pressing. We are the only team which does not press high.
On the other hand, we don't get gifts from other teams. In 3 games liverpool gets one stupid crucial penalty and now this.

Tactical foul immediately preceding the goal, mind. Although giving it straight back to them from the FK isn't the ideal play I don't suppose.
Martial?
You think they're shit? Really? They have a style and they actually look like they have a game plan. It's very different when you play this iteration of Liverpool rather than United.
is that a wum? They're miles better in attacking, pressing, passing, creating chances.... And it's not because of Salah
Can we please stop shitting on Utd in everyone of these threads? It got old last season yet here we are...again.
Woe is us right?
Woe is us right?
Why do refs give pressing teams like Liverpool and City so many chances to foul before booking their players?
That's one difference.
They're also better in attack. Actually better all over really.
They have a game plan other that parking the bus.
They press high.
Their defenders don't shit themselves when the opposition attack.
I could go on but you get the picture
They also have 2 other good attackers, keita performing well, two decent fullbacks, a commanding centre back and a high attacking tempo.
Liverpool's year finally?
Tbf we did miss the same chance at 0-0 when lukaku put it wide lol
Actually our chance was probably easier

Watching United these days is like when teams would come Old Trafford when the Premiership first started and they had no counter to United's modern approach. Mourinho's setup is so past it. Its pretty sad to watch.
And I've got fecking Mcmanaman telling me how plucky & well organised Brighton are, 
.
.Yeah, lukaku is average player
. This underrating lukaku is becoming ridiculousAre the people crying about Mourinho in this thread, while watching Liverpool play Brighton, the same folk who comment "Sack Mourinho #GGMU" on United's social media when they post a photo of Matt Busby on his birthday?
Really do think it's the biggest difference. City and Liverpool have a genuine world-class forward, and we have Lukaku.
A world-class striker would have finished that chance at 0-0 against Brighton and we would have ended up winning comfortably, just like Salah finished this one.
Liverpool seriously lucked out getting him.
I am sure it was not that bad, Crystal Palace seem to play decent stuff.Imagine how we felt under Hodgson. I'd tune in to literally any other game that was on
Yep...It's the manager's fault Lukaku missed an absolute sitter...
Put it like this, the only time Everton managed to beat us in the past 8 years in the league is when he was our gaffer. Says it all! Worst manager in Liverpool history by far.
Yeah, lukaku is average player
Lukaku is trash. Scoring a few taps ins doesn’t make you a good player. We can’t even think of challenging if he’s our main striker. He’s everton level and that’s it.
Yeah the only difference between United and Liverpool is Lukaku missing a sitter
Let's ignore that Liverpool are pinning them back and dominating possesion... Keep deluding yourself.
Lololol. We had Paul Konchesky as our LB under Hodgson. Let that sink in...
People are overreacting to Liverpool beating Brighton at home.
