Manchester United 1:1 Liverpool

We are just missing a world class midfielder

Could've been worse but that'll do....

Bubz27 · Jan 15, 2017

Bar a stupid mistake, it was a very even game. We created the clearer chances. Had to mitigate for an error like that.

Pogba was very poor today but some of you need to have a word with yourselves. Calling him a fraud etc. He's been excellent he majority of the season.

He's young, he'll learn games like these are about the team. Do the simple things well and things go your way.

Listening to those sort of games on a radio is not good for your health. Points better than nothing .

Is there anyone more frustrating than AV when you need a cross in? FFS

That game was ours to win created the better chances.

The story of the season for us is poor finishing

The mistake was bringing on Rooney instead of Mata. Then we could have kept Rashford up our sleave

Yep... one of Rooney or Fellaini may be OK but both at the expense of pace?

We played with 10 men the whole game so not surprised we didn't win. Pogba is a fraud.

has a poor game and is fraud, this is not a knee jerk reaction then ?

Earthquake · Jan 15, 2017

Should have battered them, rubbish finishing, Pogba played like he got into Pep's stash.

Thugmann · Jan 15, 2017

Pathetic display from the lads, Liverpool more than happy with the draw.

It was an attempted jinx that didn't work as well as I hoped...

I was also trying my best but Jose ruined any chance we had playing Rooney instead of Martial/Rashford.

Very sad today, we should have been level with City today.

This is the worst game I have seen from Pogba. It was like he was running in quicksand.

I agree, Pogba should revert to playing Cricket. He cost us that game.

That is not a fair remark to make.

It wasn't SOLELY Pogba's fault.

Many players left their shooting boots at home. I thought Mhkitaryan was below his usual standards, Carrick didn't play well, and Rooney was utterly disappointing! I would've thought that he would be more fired up!! And Martial showed very little end product.

Valencia and Herrera were outstanding for me.

Swearing Budgie · Jan 15, 2017

Still reckon we might nick this...

spenzo · Jan 15, 2017

Several players failed to turn up today, opportunity missed. Lucky not to lose though so... every cloud and all that...

Fully Fledged · Jan 15, 2017

Very disappointed with that. We were poor today. We seem to struggle against the bigger clubs this season with Spurs the only team above us that we have beaten in the league.

Enjoyed that. 1-1 about right.

I can't say I enjoyed it (I never enjoy Liverpool vs United games unless they are over and we won) but it was great to see both teams still going for the win at the end and giving it all they've got. Fair result on balance - both teams had ample opportunity to win it.

donkeyfish · Jan 15, 2017

That was exciting, a very tense game. Felt like we could've won, but all in all draw is a fair result. They defended excellent and were dangerous on the counter.

It happens that players have off-days or commit a silly mistake, not much you can do about it really. I liked the subs by Mourinho here, we managed to keep up the pressure (or even increase it) and Fellaini proved useful in the box and as a target man after he was brought on.

GETTING ONLY A DRAW IS A VERY DISAPPOINTING RESULT!!!!!

I think we should NOT be happy at all.

We had a load of chances, our finishing has been poor. Pogba had a gilt-edged chance in the first half, and Mhkitaryan has also been very wasteful.

Liverpool were much more negative, we dominated the game and had the better chances.

TWO POINTS DROPPED!

Not quite the 7-0 disembowelment huh?

MichaelRed · Jan 15, 2017

Not sure how Mkhitaryan stayed on over Martial, he had an absolute shocker. Also, what a failed attempt at a calming influence Rooney was, all he did was give the ball away and act rash

unimaginative_name · Jan 15, 2017

How is Herrera Motm? He was extremely poor with the ball today, gave away the ball thousands of times. The only players who played well today were Valencia, DDG, Rojo and Martial.

madzo2007 · Jan 15, 2017

Seemed like the hype and pressure got to Pogba today.

If it wasn't for him in other games we'd be alot worse off. Theres a load of knee-jerk reactions here.

)_( · Jan 15, 2017

Knew it, had the chance to get on equal points with city today so of course we didn't.

No it was Pogba's fault. If he wasn't on the pitch we would have won the game. Worst player by a mile.

I think Rooney had a terrible game to be honest, but we did look like we were missing a leader a bit which he helped with, Mata i think was a fair sub since Martial wasn't going to have space to run into anymore and Fellaini was great

Point stands friend. Rooney has no place miscontrolling balls all over the place in the team.

Ill take a draw after that shite performance...lucky really....Pool dominated.

We were shite but no way did they dominate. Which stats exactly did they dominate in apart from running a lot. We had 55% possession.

We ALWAYS play better with Mata on the pitch. ALWAYS.

I do not know what he needs to do to start games.

It seems like no matter what he does, he will never be a starter in the eyes of the Caf members.

I can see the case for playing a first eleven that doesn't include him, to be fair. I cannot see a single rational argument for introducing Rooney before him as the number 10. It's completely ridiculous.

BringNaniBack · Jan 15, 2017

Pogba useless. Fellaini saved us.

Treble_Winning · Jan 15, 2017

It is now imperative that we win our upcoming games against Stoke and Hull.

I would like us to start Mata instead of Martial/Mhkitaryan as he offers vision, end product, and is a lot more clinical with his chances. I would also like to see Rashford get more minutes. Rooney should NOT play, period!!! If they are so obsessed with the record, maybe they could bring him on as a sub if we get a penalty, and let him take it?

Liverpool have to play Chelsea soon. We must capitalise as one/both of them will drop points!

And City's meltdown today shows that they are vulnerable. We need to capitalise. We should really be level on points with them after today!

Swearing Budgie · Jan 15, 2017

Pogba is not George Weah's cousin.

Offside · Jan 15, 2017

That isn't a good result for us.

Rooney wasn't very good on the ball I agree, but I think it was the right move to sub the holding midfielder for an offensive player. He ran around a lot, trying to create turmoil.

Players like Zidane used to rise up to the occasion, whereas Pogba disappears in big matches. He is indeed a fraud. Great players give us great moments, Pogba clearly is not.

themoyesboy · Jan 15, 2017

We were definitely lucky to get away with a point. I couldn't see us scoring until that mayhem in the penalty lead to Ibra doing what Ibra does. And we were lucky at the end they didn't do better with that opening.

I thought I'd be disappointed not to win before the game started, but in the end that's a decent enough point and keeps us in touch with all our rivals.

Look, I agree with you that Pogba had a terrible game. That's a fair comment to make. In fact, it looked like the hype got to him, and he was overawed and lost his head a bit.

But to say that he alone cost us the game - that's a bit harsh.

Mkhitaryan, Martial and Carrick failed to influence the game and all showed very little end-product. Rooney was also very poor, he offered very little penetration and his one shot was very very poor.

A lot of players had a bad game. It wasn't just Pogba.

I thought Zlatan had a good game, and Valencia and Herrera played incredibly well!!

Pogba looked too pumped as he ran out for the start of the match. It was really apparent.

Behave. Pogba cost us the game. Its a simple and objective assessment.

So Pogba is shite unless he plays at Zidane's former levels?

Zidane was quite easily one of the best players of the last decade, how is it fair to use him as a benchmark for Pogba? If so, then almost every player in the world (apart from Ronaldo/Messi and maybe a handful more) are utter garbage too.

You are also comparing a young Pogba with Zidane at his peak -- give him a bit more time to mature and develop?

He was poor today but he did not SOLELY cost us the game. A number of players had poor games. I am gutted, this was there for the taking, we bottled it. Definitely two points lost. Especially after the City result. But I still refuse to blame ONE person for the draw.

Didn't we give Ronaldo grief for not showing up in big games? I'm sure you wouldn't call him a fraud. Barely anyone had a good game out there today.
