Liverpool 0:0 Manchester United

Mr Chutney · Oct 14, 2017

People on here are bonkers. Didn’t hear any complaints when we were winning by 3 or 4 goals for the past few weeks?

It was a shit game. We got a point. Get over it. Move on to the next one.

Ps. A lot of key players were missing which probably didn’t help!

Utd are so shit it's amazing. Jose will win enough lower games to scrape top four but just aren't good enough against the 'harder teams'.

That shit you failed to beat us at home... again.

Any idiot knows form in these kind of games goes out the window.

Were playing like shit though. The two times we keep the ball is the two times we walk through them. Saying that David has had little to do

That is how I predicted. You said we would be comfortable. I said if we win or they win, it will be 1-0 or something like that.

I think we would've played better if Pogba was around. No control in the midfield whatsoever.

De Gea was the only one worthy of praise today.

Oh come on mate. People have been saying this about Mourinho teams for ever. "Just let him buy his players" or "he is missing this guy or that guy". The man played like this in the vast majority of every big game his teams played. People will point to one or two exceptions which is evidence of what the main theme is. He can't always have been unlucky with players or injuries in all those games. That's how he is, his teams cannot play against good teams which means, come match day, his best chance is to retreat and close shop.

IRELANDUNITED · Oct 14, 2017

I would have much preferred a 1-1 draw, just want to score against those c**** at anfield. Decent result, Mourinho knew exactly what he was doing, apart from the brilliant save from Matip we were very comfortable. Our passing was very frustrating at times tho, couldn't string two passes together. Overall I'm satisfied with a point, missing a lot of players we were

Nucks · Oct 14, 2017

This is how you win the league, for all you whiners.

You don't lose points to your rivals, and you clean up when you're supposed to clean up. That's how you win titles. A win would be better, but a draw means we don't lose ground. Now, we go take points from teams Liverpool will lose to, and we extend our lead over them.

Even under Fergie, we often left with draws against our title rivals, and smoked everyone else, while they dropped points they should have won, and then we won title after title. Simpletons.

Hugh Jass · Oct 14, 2017

Good point gained in a tough place and they should have won.

minoo-utd · Oct 14, 2017

Herrera, Mikhy, Lingard, Darmian all was awful for me.

LLMU · Oct 14, 2017

One point and frustrated the hell out of everyone

Not like that, this is anti-football, I support Jose but this is was just disgrace, not a single attempt ffs!!

We had two attempts one big miss by Lukaku and another shot by Matic. Its not great but its a patched up team on short notice. A point is more important for us.

We kind of were comfortable though. David made one save all game. What this tells me is Jose doesn't trust a Bailly less defence. I don't understand why Jose didn't offer support for one of the best strikers in world football.

Mourinho masterclass as the plucky little billionaires of Manchester hold on against the mighty Liverpool...ffs.

The sad thing is, this is it, this is how we will play against anyone that poses any type of threat.

minoo-utd · Oct 14, 2017

The problem for me that, Jose will repeat this time and time again everytime he plays a top six team away from home. He should believe more in the players. A weakest Liverpool side in 3 4 years for me he had to acknowledge that and play to win and show some of our personality that was just embarrassing to watch.

Typical anfield performance. Can’t put together more than three passes and no composure. Awful to watch.

No,not typical. In the past United tried to win. I've never seen a united team play like that against Liverpool. It's not like we are Real Madrid. Beyond belief.

finndt · Oct 14, 2017

Everybody's a bit dissapointed. Me too. But then again, a clean sheet playing away against pretty good attack. We're still unbeaten this season and the football we saw tonight is not the football we'll be playing against them at home. The game was very unpleasant to watch, but in may it's the results that matter. Not the way we played in one away game in October.

We all knew how Jose like's to approach tough away games. So far i'm pretty satisfied with the start of the season. For us Liverpool away is maybe the toughest fixture there is. No matter how they've been lately or where they stand it the table. It's always a toss of a coin.

Well he has won CL finals hasn't he? When he has to go for a win, he does find a way. He was happy with a point today.

You are not respecting this Liverpool side and they are in Anfield. You simply dont go to Anfield and outplay Liverpool.

minoo-utd · Oct 14, 2017

And excuse me how many times Mourinho blame some teams by stating they playing with the 19th century style of football! When he him self doing it! I'm sorry guys I'm not a moaning fan never was but again this time made me feel that this is it this is the way he going to play against any top side! A bit frustrated forgive me!

Jean claude van hire · Oct 14, 2017

A decent point, nothing much more to be said from our perspective really. Only that Dave is sensational and we are very fortunate to have him. On to the next game with our unbeaten record still intact.

Good United sides have gone to Anfield and outplayed them but in order to do that you have to be positive and brave and to use the ball well.We did none of those things today.Maybe its to do with the international break but we just did not play today.

You are exaggerating, United set up like that plenty of times under Fergie at Anfield. Sometimes we nicked the three points but we were hardly adventurous.

Half four here in the "West" ... feck me!

I'll take the point & I can live with playing a defensive game when necessary but our inability to hang onto the ball was hard to watch. I'll put it down to fatigue and move on.

We had a number of players physically on the pitch but but otherwise went missing but thank feck Henderson can only go sideways or backwards ... what a waste of space he is!

Back to bed for me ... zzzzzz

Yeah the Mata game is the only one I can remember. Even some of our great wins there like the O'Shea winner and both times Rooney scored there we were utter garbage and snuck a win.

Nothing suggests Klopp is near JM's level as a manager. You can keep him.

Really? We didn't ask any question other than can we be as boring at Anfield as we were last year?
We were playing a Liverpool side with a dodgy keeper, the worst left back in the league, a error prone defence and on a run of one win in 7 yet we don't attack them? Explain that one to me? Please?

thegregster · Oct 14, 2017

Klopp knows his time at Anfield is near an end. He is getting desperate.

If you have Can't,Salad and Firmino in your team they are always going to miss loads of chances. They lack composure.

I appreciate what you're trying to do here, but a man-to-man comparison is probably one of the worst ways of comparing a team. Firstly, very few of these are actually battles; a battle should refer to a player's direct opponent (thus, Jones should be compared to Firmino/Sturridge, Lukaku to Lovren or Matip, Salah to Young, Matic to Wijnaldum, etc.

Secondly, it completely ignores tactics. Liverpool's players are high energy and press relentlessly. As such, we're unlikely to see Matic (for example) play the way he has recently; he won't have time on the ball and will often be required to play it long. Mourinho certainly won't want him to dribble out of trouble the way he has in some recent games. As such, Lukaku in particular is likely to be quite isolated for large periods of the game, so a match-up between say, him and Lovren could be more about arial ability than other parts of each player's game (such as Lukaku's finishing or Lovren's positioning).

For example, we've seen Lukaku miss his fair share of chances this season. To his credit, he has never once let a miss faze him, and usually scores the next chance he gets. However, given the premise that Liverpool will dominate possession, while we will sit back and play long (we're unlikely to build attacks from our half as it plays to Liverpool's counter-pressing strengths), its possible Lukaku won't get more than one or two chances, and as such needs to be absolutely ruthless.

Similarly, the recent way we've used our fullbacks may not be as advantageous in this game. Recently, Valencia and Young have been able to fly forward, but given the pace in Liverpool's team (especially Salah), they will be required to have a lot more discipline. We may, as a result, have a width issue at times when going forward (a good way to fix this would be to play a back 3, which would give at least one wingback license to go forward when we have the ball in their half).

I don't mean for any of this to be an attack on you, and its certainly encouraging to see the ability and form of our players when compared to theirs. However, don't think for a second that has a great deal of bearing on this particular match. Particular features of Liverpool's team will nullify several features that have made our team so good in recent games. I still think we'll win, but this will be a hard-fought (and not necessarily pretty) game.

And I didn't take it as an attack thanks ... my post was certainly intended as "tongue-in-cheek". I was afraid it was going to be a dour and defensive effort by us and I was disappointed to be correct. If ever there was a game that needed a goal, that was it.
