Everyone saying we drew because bruno not playing haha nonsense we drew because Mainoo started Mctominay did nothing for 90 minutes if bruno starts we probably score or get a clear chance from one of those counter attacks bruno has 5 goals and 5 assists are we seriously wanting to leave him out so we can then score no goals in a game some of the fan base in this forum are totally clueless.

We are forever being reminded of United terrible away record so that was a very good match and United should be proud of themselves.

No doubt it will still be spun as another failure but feck all the media!

Well done United.

Amrabat wasn't very good but I really want to see those two DMs play again. This makes our defense so much better and, given we can't score much, it's just logical for any manager.

Varane was huge. Are there any rumors about the fall out between him and ETH?

Mount or Diallo have to start at RW when healthy. Antony is a waste.

Honestly a very unexpected but nevertheless solid defensive performance with organization and grit given our recent lack of both, especially in big games. I'm actually coming away disappointed because we didn't take one of our rare chances.

When was the last time an away team kept a clean sheet at Anfield?

Very happy with that. Low on quality, big on heart. Zero similarity with City, Newcastle. Battled till the end. Look how sick Van Dijk is!

What is it with Liverpool accusing the other team of not wanting to win the game? Does he think Hojlund missed on purpose?

Just in case anyone missed it. I don't like Mount.

Proud of the players. Gave it everything. The needed quality wasn't there to get more but considering everyone thought we'd get hammered - it's a bloody great result.

Oliver can feck off.

Owen is an absolute wanker (not that it’s anything new). No one has shut Pool out at Anfield this season, but United doing that is “ok, but easy to do”. The cnut is absolutely braindead.

Knowing ETH, we'll see Bruno in the next match.
And why shouldn't he? He's worked hard this season, consistently so. Been the most creative in his attempts on top of that is heavily creatively bankrupt team.... just because some pundits don't actually watch him at all clearly and go off old habits doesn't change how he actually does perform now.

He's also allowed, as the captain, to question the ref. It's not moaning, it's part of his duty, every captain in league does it, yet Bruno is singled out for apparently spending all his game in losses moaning to the ref. Also, not overly true.

A good result, but it's pretty clear we don't have enough quality. Hojlund tries, bless him, but he just isn't ready to be a top striker at this level. A team that needs a lot of work.

Same amount of premier leagues as Blackburn and Leicester. Thinks he’s Billy big bollocks.

Tbh we're much better than I (and probably the entire caf) expected. Very solid. Mainoo was class again. But it's fecking obvious we'd need to sign one good goal scorer asap.

Hojlund doesn't really look like scoring. If we had a decent striker today, we would have probably nicked a result.

That's not to say that we don't have serious issues elsewhere on the pitch, but there was a smash and grab win there for the taking.

Love Roy Keane.

Called VVD arrogant. He's playing for a club that's won one title in 30 years..

:lol: :lol: :lol:

His reaction was a bit silly and deserved a yellow but 2? Never.

Given that nunez got booked then proceeded to clap and laugh at the ref it's the consistency that annoys me. I also received a 2nd yellow for stupidly clapping a ref in one of my own games so it doubly annoys me.
Yeah, letting Nunez off and then sending off Dalot is a home decision. If you book Nunez and ignore the rest then that is exactly what you do for Dalot. Or, they both get 2nd yellows. Oliver got carried away with the crowd there, weak refereeing.
