    There's only one United!
    If we continue to play 4231 Brighton will hit us 3 goals.

    Understand my concerns is Ten Hag is still playing the same football we saw in the past albeit with few better players now.

    That's why few hammerings along the way, a carabao cup, some records broken rinse and repeat will be our portion.

    Same way he binned Maguire he should bin all the players who can pass or hold the ball well.

    If not, I'm telling you, it's will be epic fall.

    We all cried for Maguire to be dropped, it had instant improvements. We need to drop 4231 to have improvements against better teams and have better control in games.

    He has to do it. If not we will sing this same songs next season.
    To write one-liners like you do:

    We're third in the league

    7 points above this Liverpool team

    won the Carling cup

    only lost twice in 22 games

    We move on so stop crying and go to mama.

    I will say this and it is going to be a controversial statement but I do think yesterday showed a slight lack of class from the current Liverpool squad.

    I thought the same when we beat Southampton 9-0, I felt a little embarrassed in a weird way after that match. I think sometimes when you can score at will for whatever reason it is a better look to win 4-0 and let that be the end of it. It is not the worst thing in the world and I get that players want to increase their goal tally for the season, as a fan who has seen our team lose the league on goal difference I also get how important that can be but I think easing off a bit in those rare situations does show a degree of class "don't kick them when they are down" type of thing.

    Players will do their best to show their worth and especially those subs who come in.
    This is normal.

    Normal but also I remember times under Sir Alex when he specifically told players to ease off. Does Firmino really look any better for scoring the 7th goal in a 7-0 win where a team has clearly given up?

    Not saying it is a great crime, just would have shown a bit of class from Klopp to just lock things down a little. I remember hearing Sir Alex speak about being very embarrassed after the 8-2 against Arsenal because of the respect he had for them as a club.

    You seem abit childish to be honest.

    No need to engage you anymore.

    Last message to you, all you've written had been achieved before by Ole or Mourinho and we know how it ended.

    In all this, I don't know why you people can't see the common theme in all this the 4231 setup, we have changed coaches, bought more players, binned poisonous players but below 40% possession football is still here, hammerings are still there, zero control of games, we give out chances very often, our attack is one man team.

    It's as clear as day, the 4231 is the problem no matter who we sign the same problems will persist.

    Ten Hag has to change that, I believe he will. He's clever enough to see it

    What did poor Alvaro do to you?
    Haha, noo not that one, though must confess know nothing about him, never played for the senior team? Assume his attitude is a mile better than Bruno’s.

    We are not exactly playing 4231bbut a fluid formation that looks like 3412 in attack or 2413/2314, 4141 in defense, in any case, rarely 4231.

    The problem is the team not following the rules and not doing their tasks, not the formation.

    I agree with a lot of what you said.
    The thing is that unfortunately Klopp (not having the class of SAF) did not in any way tell his players to ease off.

    i remember when we beat forest 8-1 away and SAF brings on ole expecting to just see the game home at 4-1 but he goes on to bang in another 4.

    Ole Gunnar Solskjaer reflects on four goal Nottingham Forest salvo | Manchester United (manutd.com)

    you can't really blame liverpool for scoring as many as they can against us. if the tables were turned we'd do the exact same and not think twice about it.

    Not running up the score is a very American way of thinking, did we ease off when we put 8 past Arsenal?

    You have to take your medicine and do better next time, good thing for our players is we have more games quickly get these next ones won before the international break and then EtH pull a Fergie and all our players are injured for those games haha

    With the season they are having, the lack of a trophy after nearly winning 4 last season, the talk of the Klopp 7 year curse and add to that United on the up, ahead of them and already winning a cup I'd bollock the players if they let us off. I'd want 10.

    What a way to reignite their season. Wouldnt surprise me if they went and did Real and qualified now. Puts us right in our place. Don't blame Klopp or the Pool players at all.

    Lack of class from Liverpool for scoring when it was too easy for them to :lol: fairplay to them for absolutely stuffing us in the midst of a relatively shite season.
