Bruno will only be able to play well, when we dominate the ball possession.Bruno is a problem. We could have won this. Shite draw.

We've barely been able to string five passes together in most big games since 2016.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.
Shhhh.Whisper this quietly but, was that a resolute performance of champions today? The defence was brilliant.
Ah ignore them, they play too much FIFA and need the media to tell them their opinions. Sure they'll find some friends on Twitter spouting the same shite.Please shout. Too many miserable twats here.
Fabinho looks fantastic as a CB. It’s more that their communication and positioning as CB (Henderson particularly who has little experience) should be able to be exploited.People talk like Fabinho and Henderson can't defend. I actually think that they defended pretty well.
Dominating possession and Bruno don't happen in the same team though.Bruno will only be able to play well, when we dominate the ball possession.
Preach.Whisper this quietly but, was that a resolute performance of champions today? The defence was brilliant.
We need a new CF for that to happen.But attackers win you game and we can't draw our way to a title. We need to become more clinical.
I've got no problem with changes, providing they actually work. But we were like a team of headless chickens today. We had something like 50~% passing accuracy in the 1st half from 30~% possession, 0 shots on target. 2nd half wasn't much better overall.Any good manager in my opinion changes the tactics depending on who you're playing, keep the same way of play each time and you get found out.
In fairness, I felt Liverpool very purposefully did not challenge us inside the area. If we don't win a penalty we struggle to convert in the box.What was their gameplan? Letting our strikers have the ball on a counter 3v2 or 2v1 and hope their decision making is rubbish? Or count on our two best ballers being unable to put the ball in the back of the net from 6 yards? If so, then yes - worked a treat.
Second half was a carbon copy of the first half vs City away last year when Garry Neville rightfully said 'City are getting battered'. Only thing different was we couldn't put the ball in the back of the net. Constantly working 3v2 or 2v1 close to their goal is battering.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.
Straight out of the Fergie handbook of post matches. Great stuff.Glad Ole is admitting he's disappointed and we should have won.
I think it's fair to say either team could have won today. We definitely had the best chances to do so though!Pissed stained cnut Henderson thinks they should of won. Delusional rat.
That's the bit that infuriates me the most about Ole - his substitutions always lack conviction or are too late.Why did we only use two subs again?
Fulham Wednesday.Next game is at home against Sheffield. Perfect opportunity to rest Bruno. He needs it
If we had taken our chances Ole's game plan would have been perfect.In fairness, I felt Liverpool very purposefully did not challenge us inside the area. If we don't win a penalty we struggle to convert in the box.
Thought the game plan from Ole was good and will take that point. On to the next one.
Maybe Marcus needs a rest.
Playing at Fulham middle of the week first.Next game is at home against Sheffield. Perfect opportunity to rest Bruno. He needs it
Next game is midweek away at Fulham.Next game is at home against Sheffield. Perfect opportunity to rest Bruno. He needs it
We cant dominate possession because he thinks its cool to make hollywood passes each time he receives the ball, ever thought of that?Bruno will only be able to play well, when we dominate the ball possession.
Ole Gunnar Mourinho.
I totally agree about Shaw. He was spot on with almost everything today.Bruno seriously needs a rest and time for Pogba to get the free role with DVB playing if it's a diamond
If we are going to win the league our front players need to fire because they are looking poor
Shaw was excellent today
