Keeping Liverpool 0-0 to HT at Anfield is far from the worst we’ve played in years.

Totall agree.

There are games and results that people should rightly complain about, this isn’t one of them.

People are complaining about our central midfield but This is what we have available, we can’t sub on imaginary better players.

Under the circumstances I don’t see how anybody could expect better

Our luck can't stand for 100 minutes.

Hojlund has been about as much use as Christina Aguilera in that advert. Just there but not doing anything.

What is he supposed to do? :lol:

So was the yellow for Mainoo.

Yes. And charrager said that too. Not sure what that has to do with Endo having a harsh yellow.

McTominay is a disgusting player to watch.

Him and Amrabat have been crap, we can't maintain any attacks we their first touch is terrible. Garnacho needs to start to learn how to use his body better, he's far too flimsy.

Since when did Dalot take free kicks?

Scores a worldie v Sheff Utd and gets promoted to the standing around a set piece crew

Any PL RB would be an upgrade over Dalot. Absolutely brain dead and talentless

So many people disparage signing players for smaller teams.

Matty Cash is walking into this team.

kouroux · Dec 17, 2023

I honestly believe Dalot kicked the ball out for HT

Has completed 8, made 1 tackles, 2 clearances, 2 dribbles, won 3 aerials. Criticize him, but don't flat out lie.

There are haters everywhere. He need to be better on the ball but him, Mainoo and Amrabat are doing good defensive work.

Love how the crowd got confused and went silent.

They expected us to look like part timers and we kept our end of the deal. But they don't understand why Liverpool are doing the same.

Nullified Endo, apparently.

What’s he supposed to do when we haven’t got any players who can pass him the ball ffs.

Exactly. How to blame him when our midfields and wingers couldnt even get a simple pass to him. Mctominay breaking down alll our counter attacks and couldnt even do a simple pass

100 · Dec 17, 2023

Outball is completely dependent on McTominay taking a touch and getting his head up, and he doesn’t have the ability

Rustyspider13 · Dec 17, 2023

This has gone exactly as expected. We are weak physically and technically in every area of the pitch. Without Bruno we have zero out balls. Dalot and Antony look like they've never played together. Only bright spot is our CBs and Mainoo. If McT had half the ability Mainoo has, we'd be able to actually launch some counters. Our recruitment has been truly abysmal.

The worry is that Pool will get one chance that falls their way off of someone's backside or one of our DMs will get sent off. Our best chance is maybe one of their players make a mistake and we get something due to their high line. Today's a purely route one football exercise. It's a shame but it's where we are right now.

These stats are harsh against McT in isolation. Amrabat has completed 8 passes and lost possession 9 times. Mainoo has completed 8 passes and lost possession 3 times.

McT has also had more touches than both.

He's been terrible. Probably worst player alongside Amrabat and Antony. Absolutely insane to make him captain and should be off at half time

Judas · Dec 17, 2023

The footballing intelligence is non existence with so many of our players, it’s infuriating to witness.

Stats say United had 2 shots. Did they? I don’t remember them.

Antony's blocked shot and Garnacho's air ball.

Sandikan · Dec 17, 2023

Scoreline about as good as anyone could hope.
Both centre mids on bookings is worrying with next to nothing on the bench to replace either.
Amrabat seems to be on a masterclass of how not to do anything right.

Conceding tonnes of corners.

Could it be one of those weird games where we offer nothing but pinch a winner?

Only catched the last couple of minutes. How good have been our chances?

Chances?!? :lol:

Sassy Colin said:
So were both the yellows for Mainoo and Amrabat. The guy who got the yellow handled the ball in the box, so he's already got away with one this half.

Again, what relevance does this have to Jaime Charrager saying the endo yellow is harsh, after saying the Mainoo yellow was harsh in the same sentence?

Amrabat yellow wasn't harsh in my opinion, gave two dumbass fouls on diaz when he was running into our final third.

Manny · Dec 17, 2023

2023 and we still can't put out a functional midfield and McTominay is still here.

RedRocket9908 · Dec 17, 2023

Hojlund has contributed nothing and should probably be taken off at HT, put Rashford on instead as at least he'll cause the Liverpool defence some problems.

I’m not sure what he can do, it isn’t his fault. We can’t keep the ball long enough to even try and get him involved.

We have to be the among the most boring teams in the league

Shit yes but We are far from boring

Castia · Dec 17, 2023

Liverpool look crap yet have 66% possession and 15 shots. We’ve had 1 touch in their box.

Wont get anywhere relying on McTominay and Antony. I like Garnacho but he’s another who constantly loses the ball.

Wing Attack Plan R · Dec 17, 2023

Pleased to get in level. We worked hard to keep our shape. Full credit. Problem is we have sacrificed any attacking threat in order to maintain that defensive shape.

Still, the guys have to be feeling the great escape is possible. Liverpool’s midfield is not impressive. Gravenberch, Szoszoblai, Tsimikas, Endo, just not seeing it.

Shaw doing very well to shut down Salah, who needs a good shearing. Back 4 doing well. Mainoo really impressing. Amrabat keeps getting put on his heels and then losing his man. McT hasn’t hardly touched the ball, so I’m waiting for his game winner.

We are shite, we know that. Let’s not mess around. We all came here expecting a 6-0 defeat. It’s 0-0. Let’s celebrate

Only miserable negative Andies expected that, speak in your name, I did not.

Hate to say it but I think Rashford could make a difference if he comes on. Need that player who’ll run with the ball and do something out of nothing. Garnacho is just getting bullied with physicality.

I agree. Maybe Rashford is ready to play again.

Insane that we gave him a 5 year contract. We bought him 5 years ago for 20m as a highly rated prospect, and it hasn’t worked. He should be moved on, hopefully for a profit. Yet we continue to reward mediocrity.

Agreed. Surely a PL club would be interested in him, or even a Serie A/La Liga team. Replace him with Frimpong or another attacking-minded right back, and our play will improve drastically.

Fully expecting ten Hag to say Utd played well in the first half. If so he deserves the sack. Liverpool have been poor by their standards but still a different class from us. Perhaps if we stopped passing to red shirts we would relieve some of the pressure, but that won’t happen with this team.

We've been shocking on the ball and I doubt we can hold on second half playing same way offering no threat at all and no retention in midfield I feel sorry for hojlund the most gets nothing in games like this should be hooking Scott off and Amrabat.

TsuWave · Dec 17, 2023

did they just say this is the least touches we’ve had in the opposition box since this stat started being recorded?

what the feck

I don't know, maybe regain possession in our own third, dribble half of Liverpool players and cross to himself? Is that too much to expect?

Zen · Dec 17, 2023

How many times out of his 12 passes has Onana lost possession?

RedIan · Dec 17, 2023

We have defended well against a poor liverpool attack. Going forward we have been shocking. No composure, passing all over the place.
1 touch in the liverpool box in 45 minutes tells the story.

Red Dreams · Dec 17, 2023

Dan Gore for Amrabat.

Rasford for Garnacho.

It’s like we play every match without a midfield.. I don’t get it

I’m pretty sure Klopp will realise that Scott is the only out-ball for when we play it out wide and take advantage of this. Hes our out-ball bar an overlapping FB and it’s why we give the ball away the and time again. Theres no need for AA to get back on Garnacho and there’s no reason why they aren’t permanent planting him 10 yards from our goal.
We can’t play a pass and it’s because of the midfield. If someone showed me a video of this when we signed Ten Hag then I’d call them a liar.
