career ending
Whisper this quietly but, was that a resolute performance of champions today? The defence was brilliant.
It because, we now too have a winning mentality, Ole’s giving it too us, we kept going until the end we brought Greenwood and Cavani on which is positive.Funny how we all complained that we weren't challenging for the title less than 2months ago and now we are in such a good position to challenge and people are STILL complaining!
If you'd had asked ANY of us here if we'd take top in January and take a point at Anfield, you'd bite their hand off every day of the week
Come on guys, it's a point at Anfield and we're top of the league, what is there to complain about?
Yes we most likely should have won, but that's Football. If we'd had lost the game you'd be even more upset! Don't even know why you're upset with a draw anyway. Take the point and move on to the next game.
There was a point in the replay where if he laid the ball off to Pogba then it was a first time ball from him into an un-marked Cavani.It just reminded me of Lukaku dribbling it out for a throw in. He really has been awful for a while now.
We failed to test Henderson against crosses all game. Might have been worth getting Pogba to swing a few in.Ah, can we give it a rest with this?
Plenty of teams have played MF at CB and won trophies over the years. Barcelona, City, Arsenal, even United.
Midfielders play midfield because they're good enough to create chances and are quick on the ball, defenders play defence because they can't do that, but any midfielder worth their salt can play defence. Why do you think most defenders started their careers as strikers and end up getting pushed back? You never hear of a striker that couldn't play defence so he ended up being a striker, do you?
I thought that was small-club, cowardly management by Ole.
Yes, I’d take a draw every day of the week beforehand but seeing how the game was going you bring on Greenwood earlier for Fred or McT and press on them.
Ole got his tactics spot on. We defended so well, limiting Liverpool to a couple of half chances, and we could have won it second half: Bruno had Pogba both had a very good chance. Wasn't to be, but I'm encouraged by that. A year unbeaten away in the league now.
If not for their Gk having a god mode, we could've won by a goal or two. We matched them for the whole 90 minutes. Even in Fergie's era, we had never created so many chances like this.You.
This is the attitude I like!
They really weren't.Lacked belief!
A pity, because Liverpool were there for the taking.
When was the last time we scored from a cross? Cavani's the only one who's really capable of that, Martial and Rashford aren'tWe failed to test Henderson against crosses all game. Might have been worth getting Pogba to swing a few in.
Fecking bang on, but this is the kind of angle no one's going to run with. We'll just hear about Liverpool not being good enough up front to put us to the sword.If not for their Gk having a god mode, we could've won by a goal or two. We matched them for the whole 90 minutes. Even in Fergie's era, we had never created so many chances like this.
I didn't see it as a battering given how dysfunctional were up front. We were much better than we had been and made some good chances but we didn't do enough in possession to control the game, much less batter Liverpool.I must have watched a different game. People saying it was Mourinhoesque and they're happy with the draw. We absolutely battered them in the second half and should've won. 2 points dropped for me, eventhough I would've taken a point beforethe game.
We played with this approach, especially at Anfield under Fergie many many many many times. The narrative that we were always ultra attacking is wrong. Ole got the tactics right today, we wasted the chances to win the game.Only 34% possession - it would be nice if we offered a bit more in big games, but it's all been counterattacking 'underdog' stuff since 2016.
Worst post of the thread award right here.Talk about giving a team to much respect. This version of Liverpool is NOT the version from last season. OGS is starting to remind me more and more of Mourinho. Cowards.
City have the games in hand to go topA vital draw against the best club in Europe in 2019 and of England in 19-20. The dippers, at Anfield!
People are mental if they expected a 0-1 or 0-2.
A solid step towards the 2021 title. It's happening, as long as we don't drop points against Top5-6, midtable and lesser sides.
