We restored some pride after last two seasons at Anfield. Loving the piss that performance boiled with the ABU'S too. Think Rasmus takes that chance IF he had some league goals behind him.
Yea… I have a lot of sympathies for the lad. For the amount we spent, it should have been for a more experienced striker, who would likely have pulled the trigger.Just think, if Hojlund was a bit more experienced, we could have walked away with all 3 pts.
Haha I agree, they all went mental! I was expecting the replay to show a leg-breaker, and there was nothing in it.What in earth was that all about when Shaw did a run of the mill trip on Konate?…half their team steaming in, the desperate cnuts.
How the mighty have fallen.I would have snapped your hand off for a modest 1-0 loss, never mind a fecking draw. At anfield
Yeah definitely feel it's more of a could have won rather than should have won. So nearly did a 2007 style smash and grab at Kop endSolid performance. Could have won.
Yes, I agree. It is universally accepted that we’re some way off where we’d like to be and it has been for many years. I just don’t understand why we need to revisit that fact after every game, particularly ones where we’ve had some fight and achieved a good result. It’s like people don’t understand why our fortunes haven’t completely reversed after one (very tough) away game. I just found it strange.I think most reasonable posters would say was a really good point, and an exceptional shut out job.
Whilst still being aware we're well off where we'd like to be.
Needed JoS but had Hojlund instead.Yeah definitely feel it's more of a could have won rather than should have won. So nearly did a 2007 style smash and grab at Kop end
He created the best chance of the game for Højlund and made a couple of decent runs. We all know what he can and can't do by now, so may as well just accept it until we bring in an upgrade. We have bigger problems than McTominay at the moment that's for sure.Did McTominlay actually do something in the game to be noticed, he has had the 1 game in 10 where he contributes, just not worth including him. Baffling really, guess he’s the worlds best trainer, as he offers so little during any game.
Mount.As in Hannibal? Because there's literally no one else.
Please don't say McTominay in the 10.
Absolutely spot on. It's something I've noticed for a while.Our anticipation for second balls were really bad. Other than Varane, it seemed anticipation for second balls are always too slow. Whenever there is a loose ball, you can see a Liverpool player already sprinting towards it before our player even spotted it. Varane's anticipation in the box was absolutely world class.
The other thing I realized was how easy our players got muscled off the ball and no fouls were given. This is not just this one match seemed like a recurring theme.
But all in all good point. Please Varane stay fit.
We did it loads of times under Fergie. 1-0 away wins are how you win titles. Our problem is our forwards are poor, but setting up to be solid in defence and counter attacking is a perfectly normal way to play in a hostile ground against good opposition. We could have nicked it too, had one or two great chances.There was no honour in that result. It just shows how far we’ve fallen when we go to Anfield and park the bus.
We lose that with Bruno playing.
We'd be challenging for the title.We’d be top 3 with Kane or Osimhen
Hannibal and Donny?I never said I wanted that particular midfield nor did I say it would win us games. I did however say that I wanted Bruno benched. We do have other midfield options.
True, but quite a lot of goals happen from chances that weren't big to begin with. For example, both of City's goals in the FA cup final. All it takes is a lucky hit or a lucky deflection. Give an opponent 34 of them, and you're lucky not to concede.So was I, felt with a bit more pace on the counter there were more opportunities to be had. Utd created the best/more clear cut scoring chances.
Genuinely think they underestimated Utd today and thought this was going to be a piece of piss.
People will also look at the stats and xg, but most of their shots were from range or efforts from set pieces, their finishing from open play was poor, everytime they had a shot commentary seemed to say "you'd want someone else coming onto that". They didn't trouble Onana with a decent save at all.
Really?I looked at their starting 11 and, particularly, their bench, and didn't see anyone, apart from Salah and Alisson that I take over what we already have.
I thought similar and said so before the match. Their players are massively over ratedI looked at their starting 11 and, particularly, their bench, and didn't see anyone, apart from Salah and Alisson that I take over what we already have.

This.Poor performance from both teams, but a draw is a good result for United.
Did you really watch the game? They’ve had quite a few decent players apart from Alisson and Salah, who would’ve been starting hereI looked at their starting 11 and, particularly, their bench, and didn't see anyone, apart from Salah and Alisson that I take over what we already have.
Some people dismiss whether we could have gotten Kane. I think he was attainable, Levy sells at the right price, that’s proven over his tenure beyond doubt.To think we could have won that game if our striker had a little bit of composure.
Regardless its a very good result. Couldn't have asked for more.
You should apply for the role of speech writer for Ten Hag. The above would have been the perfect response.Getting tired of Ten Hag's passivity with the press. He should be having a pop back at Donkey Teeth and taking aim at PGMOL.
Something like, 'We've come here with half a squad and a kid in midfield, but I think we should have finished off the two excellent chances we had when through on goal. I don't remember a clear cut chance Liverpool had. And do you want to explain to me how that's a sending off, when Nunez and Salah don't get punished for worse?'
The players want to know that their manager has got their back but it's radio silence.
