    We were always gonna defend for most of the game, was what I meant. I don't see much use of him without the ball.
    Matic and Herrera should defend but Mata should create . Mkh is absolutely atrociously missing.

    One moment of creativity came from martial in the middle and we created something which lukaku missed.

    Jose's plan to absorb Coutinho and Salah...hope it works...and hope either Jones and Smalling have their concentration in head...

    Oh please, even when we're slowing down the tempo not attacking we're being carved open. We're not even close to playing comfortably at the current tempo.
    One major chance each imo.

    Not sure how people expect more from this game. Under SAF, we would often go to a shite Liverpool team with one of the top teams in Europe and get completely outplayed. It's their biggest game of the season.

    Lovren should be retrospectively banned for that cheating. Cannot believe the guy, no body touched him whatsoever:lol:

    So Lovren's playacting was far more important to show than our beautiful attack few seconds earlier they showed just one minute later.

    It's it just me, or has Herrera really become poor this season? Whenever I see him he looks clueless

    Under soil heating.
    Everyone claimed Jose would really go for it this time but i am not seeing any of that at all, more of the same in the big fixtures. Frustrating.

    Can't believe Gary Neville thinks that was intentional. Lukaku lost his balance ffs.

    Gone as predicted. Some predicted that we would hammer Liverpool. Not a chance. Our whole game plan is to defend and grab a sneaky one at their end.

    I'd bring Mata on for Young, he's offering nothing really. We need a bit more control

    Thankfully no one gives a toss what you think.
    don't count your chickens before they hatch.

    Just sayin'. The way we're playing now is pretty shite to be fair. We can't even soak up the pressure, yet alone play our normal game if that's ultimately mou's game plan. If Salah had buried that chance it would be over.

    Shut up Neville. It was accidental

    It's typical Neville he picks a player from the start of the game to criticise and spends the entire game picking on them and ignoring everything else.

    All he has done from the start of the game has watched every move and tried to blame Lukaku for whatever happens

    Neville is a clown. Listening to him you'd think Lukaku just did a Costa special. Clealry nothing intentional there.

    I hated that half of football.

    We need to create more chances.

    Sky being harsh on Lukaku's first half performance, neither he, Martial or Mhkitaryan have been given the ball to make anything happen

    Finally Lukaku was not isolated and look what happened. At one point he was 5 on 1.

    Second half we need to get get at them, Liverpool are a mess at the back. Need to treat them like West Ham or any other dross.

    We need a better player playing on the right. I like Young, I think he’s shown his competence to play at full back for United, but he’s not the go to guy as your source of attack against bigger sides.

    Then you’ve got salah on the other side doing what you expect from a winger..

    Neville tried far to hard to be unbiased towards us. If I was new to football I’d have a guess that he was a City or Liverpool fan. Even going out his way to try and make something of Lukaku accidentally knocking Lovren with his heel.
