For all the talk of functional team, the fact of the matter is what they're doing this season is down to individual quality more than anything else

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik @Rood and Imran @Annihilate Now! start with the good news by celebrating Manchester United Women's emphatic FA Cup win over Spurs at Wembley and the future of manager Marc Skinner.
Then it's the bad news and the ever worsening form of our Men with losses to Arsenal and Palace.
Finally the main debate - ETH Out now or keep him until the end of the season - if not longer. Are you Team Nik or Team Imran?
Will Madrid or Barca hurry and take Allison and VVD. Maybe Bayern can take Mane.
Their football is simple. People like to make out as if Klopp plays some insane tactically amazing football, when in reality his team play a simple but effective football. Put the ball in the box as much as possible and.you will get the goals. Just passing sideways won't get you anything.
Can't see anyone wanting to move away from Liverpool at the moment.
Salah and Mane standard, I honestly think if it wasn’t for these two they would do feck all in the League or Champions League.
You know it.
That's a gross oversimplification isn't it? I mean "passing sideways" got Barcelona and Man City a few titles along the way.
Simeone will have Athletico fired up for that game. It will be tougher than any team they've faced this season no doubt.
I dont think they can replicate this next season either. We will be much stronger so will city.
Pool don’t pay great wages. Plus Madrid and Barca are much nicer cities.
VAR and dodgy opposition goalkeepers contribute just as much at those two.
Bring on Fabianski
Lame.
We say this every year and every year we look terrible after the first few games. I couldn't be so confident.
Klopp really won the jackpot when he got both Robertson and TAA. The two most important players in his team.
Send the keeper up you fecking pranny!
That shot was going straight into the corner.
If by individual quality you mean they have at least 6 world class players in their starting 11 then yes. Don't get me wrong, I hate that they are good, but they have a phenomenal first XI and they play - regularly - like a team.
Feck off Flappy H. He is responsible for Liverpool's winning run continuing. The best thing he could do now is get West Ham relegated.
Haller didn't do much
But that's not all they do. It's a huge insult to the city side by saying all they do is pass the ball sideways. The movement their players make inside the box is amazing. My point is liverpool football is simple and not something insane like some say. Klopp is making sure their team is doing the basics right. I know easier said than done.

The outfield players of West Ham...considering the circumstances, you could barely ask for more.
Fabianski, what a fecking buffoon. This result is 100% on him. The worst thing is you can't even say his mistakes came due to some kind of barrage. There never was anything approaching a barrage on him.
Now if West Ham could hurry along and get relegated, that would be great.

that’s 13 times that Liverpool this season have won by the odd goal
I thought it's VVD and Alisson?
Or Mane and Salah and Firmino?
WHICH IS IT FOR feck'S SAKE?
Honestly this Liverpool team just grind out result after result. I can't tell where the good fortune ends and the will to grind a result takes over. There have been so many games this season where I thought they should have drawn or worse but it just doesn't seem to happen. Fair play to them but it sickens me all the same!
Weakest league since leicester.
No surprise to see Liverpool going on to win after that howler. A bit daft they needed that slice of luck to beat West Ham at home managed by Moyes..
Haven't watched the game but cam 25 to 7 shots really be a fluke?
when 3 of them get thrown in the net by the keeper, yeah.
If we had a manager who could see what Klopp is doing and stop being arrogant trying that worthless sideways football. Just keep sending the ball to the box. Keep sending, keep sending.. Somethings going to happen.
Yeah, when you watch fabianski having the worst game ever.
not as weak as it was in 1993, 1994, 1996, 1997, 1999, 2000, 2001, 2003, 2007 ,2008 ,2009, 2011, 2013
Easy bro. We all can read !
I said TAA and Robertson you illiterate cnut.
Klopp is a terrific manager and would still challenge for the league without TAA and Robertson. Salah, Mane, VVD are all amazing players. But for a team that is so heavily reliant on crossing, you couldn't ask for better full backs.
It's not simple at all. If it was simple everyone would be doing it.
feck me, you're a genius. You've figured out this footy lark.
He's so far offside that you don't even need VAR to rule it out.
Ah ok I thought you meant Pool when they were 2-1 down so was confused
Put any other keeper in goal for West Ham and they win. Heck even that random Randolph fella who once had a stormer against us. Anyone except Flappyhandski.
