I’d previously said that it’d be like choosing between Ebola and rabies, two awful diseases caused by viruses. This time around, I decided to make it between two awful bacterial diseases.But you'd obviously pick plague, right?.....

I dont think you understand what Im saying.I'm not just listing players for the sake of replacements. I'm talking about your strongest XI having to go into every game. Always. Every three days. You will not be resting Been White (I can't believe you lot let that go over your heads ), and others. Neither do you have many games where you will be sufficient goals up by half time. It's not that stage of the season any more. Your Sheffield Utd games phase is over.
Lightning striking twice same place an all that, I’m not so confident especially after that Brentford performance.We will beat them next week.
It's because of that performance that we stand a chanceLightning striking twice same place an all that, I’m not so confident especially after that Brentford performance.
Disgusting. Fans care more about style of play that pleases them than our rivalriesNo question I’d want Liverpool as a neutral, I’m slightly leaning that way even as a United fan. They just play football the right way, no matter who they face.
None of this “let’s keep 70% possession and not even attempt a slightly risky attack” bollocks.
Utd's biggest challenge of the season really starts now. Can they finish on a positive goal difference by the end of the season. I'm not even joking/wumming.I would rather Arsenal win it than Liverpool or City, our home game against Arsenal is going to be a bizarre one if Arsenal just need to win or draw to win the title.
Wtf is this?No question I’d want Liverpool as a neutral, I’m slightly leaning that way even as a United fan. They just play football the right way, no matter who they face.

After the cup game I was confident that we could at least make a game of it again, and potentially get a draw in 90 mins. Now after Brentford it feels like another 5-0 Old Trafford thrashing is just as likely.We really have to put on a performance at OT. This title race will define much of Klopp’s narrative at Liverpool and theirs as a club under him. Difference between 19 tiles and 20 titles, 1 in 8 or 2 in 8 under Klopp is big. Don’t let this shitty “fairy tale “ happen
A treble of cup final wins beckons.After the cup game I was confident that we could at least make a game of it again, and potentially get a draw in 90 mins. Now after Brentford it feels like another 5-0 Old Trafford thrashing is just as likely.
I really hope the players are up for it again, but not holding my breath.
I think our season with regards to the league is over and any chance of finishing in a European spot is gone with West Ham and Newcastle both having more favorable fixtures and being highly likely to finish 6th and 7th so our focus at this point has to be fully on winning the FA Cup.Utd's biggest challenge of the season really starts now.

There's still some minimal pride though. A top club finishing a 38 game season with a zero or negative goal difference is unprecedented. Shameful. Must rectify that at least.I think our season with regards to the league is over and any chance of finishing in a European spot is gone with West Ham and Newcastle both having more favorable fixtures and being highly likely to finish 6th and 7th so our focus at this point has to be fully on winning the FA Cup.
What we witnessed at Brentford on Saturday showef they dont even have minimul pride, if Erik had any pride he would resign.There's still some minimal pride though. A top club finishing a 38 game season with a zero or negative goal difference is unprecedented. Shameful. Must rectify that at least.

There was already heavy rotation yesterday.I'm wondering in which game Arteta can afford to rotate players at all this season remaining? By that I mean players playing 80+ minutes every three days. Considering the toughness of the games coming up, including Luton who are a tough cookie.
Goalie? Nope
Been White? No
Kiwior? Maybe, with Zinchenko
Gabriel/Saliba? Nope to both
Rice? Nope
Jorgino? Yes, Partey
Odegard? Nope
Havertz? Nope
Martinelli? Nope. Watch them hamstrings lad
Saka? Nope. See above.
That's pretty much 90 minutes every game, every three days. Might risk Trossard but there's no easy game for them to step in more than 10 minutes.
Liverpool have easy EL games and Sheffield Utd, etc, to rest the likes of VvD, Konate, Bradley (TAA), Gomez, Salah, Nunez (Jota), Diaz, etc. This is the big picture.
Yep, I was really impressed with yesterday's changes and result. Arteta gee'ed the boys up enough to get the result. But Luton home was going to be the last of your 'easy' games for a while I think (I'll have to check the fixtures again).There was already heavy rotation yesterday.
Rice, Martinelli, Jesus, Jorginho, Kiwior were all rested. Saka didn't play either. Seemed to get on just fine.
We'll probably face the same issue when the next manager makes us 'relevant' again.It feels like Klopp is very much bigger than the club these days. Given all this fuss about him going. Strange to see a manager become more famous than a club of Liverpools pedigree and history really.
BehaveI think our season with regards to the league is over and any chance of finishing in a European spot is gone with West Ham and Newcastle both having more favorable fixtures and being highly likely to finish 6th and 7th so our focus at this point has to be fully on winning the FA Cup.
Liverpool still have some banana skins - very premature.I think they've already won it. If they hammer Sheffield United tonight, their goal difference will be miles ahead of City. That would mean Liverpool have to fail to win 2 matches while City would need to every match. Can't see that.
In terms of Arsenal they still have a couple of tricky away matches. With the points advantage and favourite fixture list (+refs) I think they're practically there.
He basically is the club and has been ever since arriving. He's the face, what we represent and stand for, and he embodies it. You can't say Liverpool without Klopp or vice versa these days.It feels like Klopp is very much bigger than the club these days. Given all this fuss about him going.

Same with every manager who stays a while and wins things though. SAF still looms large over United, Pep invented football when he moved to City, Klopp has been a media darling and PGMOL honorary member since he arrived, people even still think of Jose and Chelsea 1st stint and Wenger to a lesser degree with Arsenal (he stayed too long and now Arteta might win them a major honour, no doubt we'll see some 'hot' takes about how Arteta is actually better than Wenger from some tiktok stars and how that Arsenal team was overrated but this one is the best ever).It feels like Klopp is very much bigger than the club these days.

I think any comparison between what Sir Alex Ferguson achieved and the accomplishments of Klopp are quite odd. Especially when you consider the length of time both were at their clubs too (9 years v 27 years).He basically is the club and has been ever since arriving.

What's more strange is that you find that strange, since it's literally happened to your own club. The name and branding Manchester United is more famous than SAF but what you've seen on the pitch since he left speaks for itself. And then you wonder why such a big deal is made out of Klopp leaving...
I didn't compare SAF and Klopp, I said the situations were comparable. If we don't appoint the right manager after him, we will fall into the same abyss Utd did.I think any comparison between what Sir Alex Ferguson achieved and the accomplishments of Klopp are quite odd.

I find it strange that Klopp has become bigger than Liverpool FC. You then brought up Sir Alex. Clearly the suggestion being that the two situations are comparable.I didn't compare SAF and Klopp, I said the situations were comparable.

Why? I was just being realisticBehave
No you weren't.Why? I was just being realistic
We are absolutely crap, if we dobt change the manager then the only one of our remaining games I can see us winning is Sheff Ud at home.No you weren't.
Our 2024 form is something like 9 wins 3 draws and 2 losses - behave.The only one of our remaining games I can see us winning is Sheff Ud at home.
Chelsea away - probably lose
Liverpool Home - probably lose
Bournemouth Away - probably lose
Sheff Utd Home - Should win
Burnley Home - probably draw
Palace away - Probably lose
Arsenal home - Probably lose
Brighton away - probably lose.
If you went off 90% of the posts on here#s predictions of our form we'd be in the bottom 3.Our 2024 form is something like 9 wins 3 draws and 2 losses - behave.
Yes that is what I said indeed, that the situations are comparable.I find it strange that Klopp has become bigger than Liverpool FC. You then brought up Sir Alex. Clearly the suggestion being that the two situations are comparable.
Don’t see this yet, I can easily see a 3 way tie all on 89 points, that means I see Liverpool wining 7 drawing 1 Losing 1, they have United away, Villa away, West Ham and Everton Away who might need a point to stay up, then they have spurs and wolves at home who are not gimmes.I think they've already won it. If they hammer Sheffield United tonight, their goal difference will be miles ahead of City. That would mean Liverpool have to fail to win 2 matches while City would need to every match. Can't see that.

But they're not.Yes that is what I said indeed, that the situations are comparable.
