People who regularly discuss the club on a football fan forum aren't following the club in any way shape or form?Because I follow my club through good times and bad, not like some on here.
Liverpool dominated the whole half against Spurs and half of the second.The standards continues to drop if you think we weren’t outplayed. Mourinho toothless Spurs side put on a more competitive performance. We showed no composure under pressure, no interplay, no intelligent pressing, no proactive gameplan, it was all static and reactionary.
well said matePiss off you nob
Good luck with that.If I'm to take a positive from the result today it's that I'm hoping our board now recognizes how poor we are and works harder to bring in reinforcements...
We're on pace for 50 something points, just so you know. I don't want to say anything to upset you or introduce any element of reality to your post but those are the facts.Not particularly impressed by Liverpool, City are a way better side. It’s crazy how they’ve struggled this season.
And us? We’re not that bad. Need to replace some players, but we have a good crop, this team has great potential. Let’s not go OOT on judgement, losing to a finished article in this Liverpool team. Ole might not take us all the way but he’s doing some good work here and the fans are not giving him nearly enough credit.
Special mention to Fred, what a turnaround. Super performance in a very tough game.
This! nobody knocks us off our perch, we step down ourselves and on our own terms.Look on the bright side - at least they ain't knocked us off our perch. We've been s*!t for 7 years now.
By watching the game. We were in it till the end and even had couple decent chances which AMF like Bruno and striker like Haaland would have scoredNo the game would not have been ours 100% guaranteed. How do you come to that conclusion?

Another few seasons with current owners and we will be fighting to stay in the Premier league. Major change needed, sack Ole as he is not tactically up to the job, get Woodward away with the football side of things, and hire Luis Campos from Lille as DOFGoing from losing 3-1 to losing 2-0 is progress?
Having a worse team now is progress?
Are you crazy? Managers don't make a difference.They're clearly better than the sum of their parts: it's a testament to Klopp as a manager because individually, their players are good but hardly geniuses. This is clearly not Guardiola's Barcelona.
...nearly threw up in my own mouthGreat performance from the lads. We had some injuries as well. 2-0 loss to Liverpool is great progress. Kept them pretty much at bay. Bit of luck and we could have drawn this game. Don't really see any need to strenghten or get a manager in for this club. We are heading into the right direction.
Whats he saying?Keane speaking more sense than anyone out there regarding United right now.
Yeah no I mean which team needs a striker I agree.When asked about potentially replacing Marcus Rashford this transfer window, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer replied:
“We've had many injuries for big players this season. It’s just an unfortunate situation we're in. We might look at some short term deals as well that could take us through to the summer. We don’t desperately need a striker, if the right one is there and it fits for us... we’ve got players who are champing at the bit.”
The average coach was 5 minutes away from beating them a couple months ago.We are an average team managed by an average coach. We defend like amateurs, we attack without clue, we press without clue and yet some see progress.
The standards continues to drop if you think we weren’t outplayed. Mourinho toothless Spurs side put on a more competitive performance. We showed no composure under pressure, no interplay, no intelligent pressing, no proactive gameplan, it was all static and reactionary.
LIkeable teams don't win you games. This squad is a joke, that's just the hard fact. And Pool should have been out of sight after the first 10 mins in the second half.Cant help bit feel some pride about the fight in the team. It's the minimum we should expect to see but that doesnt means it's always there.
The pub I just left was full of Liverpool fans,and they were faaaar from comfortable. You have to take your chances in these games and we didn't, and let's be honest they are a fair bit better than we are right now.
People will call that a loser mentality or some other crap, but it's just a realisation about where we are right now. I still believe there are many reasons to be encouraged. I like this team.
Pretty sure that shift from all out attack to this is what made them win games consistently. But yes they definitely don’t play amazing football anymore.Meh. With the injuries we had and the difference between the respective teams’ development, it was a decent enough performance.
They play some horrible brand of football, though. Don’t be fooled by the Scouser-infested media. Longball FC.
said Ole needs time.Whats he saying?
Same here. Like you I expected a worse defeat than we got, so I suppose that is something. Rashford's injury is a big worry. He is our goalscorer. I do not rate Martial as high as some and Greenwood is so young, there will be games you will forget he is there. If we had a goal machine in midfield it might have helped.Honestly I'm more worried about Rashfords injury more than this result, which we were always going to lose
So what happened? Did we regress in the meantime?The average coach was 5 minutes away from beating them a couple months ago.

They won the game.We made ourselves difficult to beat in the end. Yeah, they had more chances but chances don't win games, making them count does.
Anyone who thinks it was easy for them just needs to look at it from the other side, when we have games with a lot of chances but it's only 1:0.
Either way, we've had a bit of a momentum prior to this game, this certainly hurts, but this team will rise to the occasion and take out their frustrations on our next opponents. We don't have to beat Liverpool win the EL and that's our fight this season. Arsenal don't play better games at Anfield either, nor do Chelsea, these are teams we need to beat and that we can.
Its just inexcusable. I said a few weeks back it's public apology levels of dreadful. 9 goals from corners alone this season in leagueTerrible fact that. Just goes to prove that the standard of coaching is not nearly good enough.
What is he saying?Roy Keane is absolutely embarrassing himself here. Carragher and Souness have torn him a new one here.
The 10mins that opened the second half were fraught. But a lot of it was better than we could have hoped for.They were annihilating us and sent wan bissaka go to the shops for fizzy pop numerous times mate.
Liverpool also dominated the first half against us, even more so than Spurs. Then second half started and they went to another level. We had a good 20 minutes spell in the second half, but it was nothing that showed an equilibrium between our best controlling moment and theirs. It was mainly due to Klopp changing their system to combat the changing tide and close out the game. Spurs frustrated Liverpool was and was well organized, even though they weren’t significantly better than us today. They were unlucky to not draw that game after that Lo Celso missLiverpool dominated the whole half against Spurs and half of the second.
We started well today. First 15, last 15 of the first half. Then the last 25 minutes of the second half.
Klopp had to change system and go into a more solid formation because he knew they looked vulnerable.
Agreed, and you're right Liverpool are an outstanding team. Which is exactly why it makes no sense for everyone to lose their shit after a defeat at their place, especially with key players missing. Were people actually confident of a win?LIkeable teams don't win you games. This squad is a joke, that's just the hard fact. And Pool should have been out of sight after the first 10 mins in the second half.
I can't feel much pride by doing the absolute minimum and that is putting your foot in against Liverpool. They were a joy to watch at times and it just hurts. Looking at us not being able to pass the ball to a teammate.
