Encouraged by that performance the lads gave it all. Hopefully we can repeat this kind of guts and passion every week.
You've tried to be funny, so I suppose you deserve some credit for effort. It seems totally lost on you the numerous other posters, commentators etc. that are saying the same thing.Have you just traveled here from an alternate universe? I imagine there must have been a few games per trillion alternate realities in which Pereira deserved MOTM. In this universe, however, he was garbage. And so was Fred.
No it wouldn’t haveWorst possible result for me in terms of its impact.
A loss shouldve seen OGS out for good, a win would be a win against liverpool.
We’re at rock bottom and Liverpool are the inform team of Europe. What do you want to happen? HonestlyYeah if you call parking the bus in the second half and hoping for a counter-attack as decent playing for Manchester United. Ffs.
We had far more intensity than those games in my opinion. We actually looked threatening on breaks though individual mistakes cost us-that is the issue with having several players not REALLY good enough. Yeah we didn’t really look like scoring until we did but it was a lethal break, we were looking to do that until we ran out of legs against a better teamI would love your optimism, but this game still reminded me of what we have played like against Southampton and Newcastle. No attacking plan, hoping for mistakes and defensive lapses by our team.
Our side still looks paper thin as well. Only really martial to call upon and Woodward needs answer serious questions about this.
The fact most of us feel disappointed with a draw is a good sign.Yes. Was amazed he didn't bring him on but decided to bring Williams on for a couple of minutes runout. He just sat back and let them attack us. Give Liverpool something else to think about.
Terrible decision to park the bus against a Liverpool side that we’re playing awful and offering no threat.
A point is a good result but puts more pressure on the games against Norwich and Bournemouth which will be tougher because we won’t be able to play those tactics.
It's your opinion, it's not "as it is".Are you kidding me? The same bs logic again.
Did you watch the first half with your eyes closed or something? So we can have our players play half-decent when we are 0-0 but have to revert to prime Stoke the moment we take the lead. Is it because our players lose all their ability when we go a goal up?
As for Mourinho, we played like this against a high-flying Liverpool when we won 2-0 and the only reason that was absolved is because we won the game. This sitting back like absolute cowards is horrible to see. You maybe fine with it and can stick to your excuses because it is Ole. I would rather call it as it is.
How so?Jose clearly still has a soft spot for us.
I understand what you mean.It's weird, if we had equalised I would be happier.
Yes. If we carry this into the next games, the effort, the fight, I will be happy. If they only do it in this type of game I will be furious. Every game matters, not just the big games.The fact most of us feel disappointed with a draw is a good sign.
But we sold ourselves short today.
We need to be fighting for the ball in every match.
We did not give Liverpool time.
So what? Would you have us with 60% like under LVG? For all their possession, what did they actually create?32% possession shows how far we've fallen.
There’s a difference between being throwned back and sitting back.We should not have sat back.
But then again we had no one on the bench that could bring something different.
You'd be suprised how many are throwing this nonsense around as an argumentThere’s just no way this is a feasible argument.
I expected the team to keep up what they did in the first half - have some feckin intent. But Ole sent them out to defend in the second half and he didn't make any substitutions till after the 80th min. James was playing as a striker for some periods in this game when we had Martial and especially Greenwood on the bench. This is amateur-level management.We’re at rock bottom and Liverpool are the inform team of Europe. What do you want to happen? Honestly
I wonder about people sometimes. They're either not particularly wise, or they have zero understanding of football.I’m astounded at the moaning going on here post match. Ffs.
We got a point, played decent, give everything yet posters are still going in on the players and manager.
It's a point. Should we be celebrating home draws now?I’m astounded at the moaning going on here post match. Ffs.

Eh? Does more than a loss when you're one point from relegation zone. Now we're two!Poor result in the end. A point does very little for us.
Not just this season, first for the last 17 games. It was a young team and they did well. Sod the moaners.They're idiots.Could we have been a little braver and not dropped so deep towards the end?Probably but we're in a bad place at the minute and winning that game would have been big.First team to take points off Liverpool this season.Not bad but i'd have been much happier with the three points.
The Europa Cup matches will drain us.Yes. If we carry this into the next games, the effort, the fight, I will be happy. If they only do it in this type of game I will be furious. Every game matters, not just the big games.
The issue is, against the smaller sides they will not try and attack like pool did today. Other than a counter attack, what other attacking game plan did we have?We had far more intensity than those games in my opinion. We actually looked threatening on breaks though individual mistakes cost us-that is the issue with having several players not REALLY good enough. Yeah we didn’t really look like scoring until we did but it was a lethal break, we were looking to do that until we ran out of legs against a better team
Who is celebrating|? But after giving it a fair goal and leading the previously invincible league champs, with our best two players either not in the squad or semi fit on the bench, yes we can be satisfied with a good effort.It's a point. Should we be celebrating home draws now?
Not bemoan it out of context maybe?It's a point. Should we be celebrating home draws now?
