KDB a coming on to save the day..
We kissed good bye to contending for any major trophies this season when we decided to continue with Ole this season (on top of rewarding him with a 3 year contract)It’s really depressing how far off we are as a team to the likes of City, Pool & Chelsea,
It’s night and day sadly and hilarious to think some of us (I included) though we might, just might have a sniff of challenging for major Trophies this season,
Another worry is I can’t see us making up the difference in 1 year with our current set up and I’m not talking about the players
Not in the same phase of play.Offside in the build up, but ok.
Our defenders are scoring every game and still keeping clean sheets, I don't see how yours are better than ours. The only one of yours I will consider is Varane because of his Madrid days of old. Our WB/FB score goals every day and create chances too and our three at the back are intelligents defenders.It must be right? Look at Chelsea’s defence for instance. On paper our players may be better but as a unit, as a team, they all work hard for each other and it’s the same with the rest of these teams and why we struggle with too many strong individuals and a weak leader.
How so? Genuinely curious.Not in the same phase of play.

Jesus Christ. Dry yer eyes man.We kissed good bye to contending for any major trophies this season when we decided to continue with Ole this season (on top of rewarding him with a 3 year contract)
Those who pointed out that Ole was the biggest handicap at this club, at the time of his renewal were hounded out for their opinion and being a "plastic cnut of a fan"
Despite the mental gymnastics in here, manager is the most important person at any football club. Ole is never going to pip all 3 of Pep, Tuchel, Klopp in the same season. Never mind, accounting for Europe. The gulf in managerial ability is too big. So, let's rally together and hope for Tommys Tuchel Chelsea to stop our two biggest rivals from winning the Premier League. To our owners and board, CL football is be-all and end-all. To think, one rabid Ole inner put me on ignore for this, bless
From our first away game in 2021 (Burnley) to now (Leicester):Was that away record all draws then? How are we not even in the top 4?
It was ‘wins’ not draws . .Was that away record all draws then? How are we not even in the top 4?
Wow, so busy were you to be a snidey little turd that you've completely missed the context of the question.It was ‘wins’ not draws . .
As is written in large print for anyone who cares to see . .
Your now ended record run was for being unbeaten and, while it was an honourable endeavour, you had plenty of draws in there because it wasn’t about wins it was about not losing.
But that doesn’t relate because this is about consecutive wins . . just wins, no draws, just wins.
Form kinda goes out the window in these games. Man United will win.What do the fellow oppos think about tomorrow’s game? Feels like make or break for United’s title bid, but can we afford to lose if we want to win the league? We would be 4 behind Chelsea at an early stage of the season but people were writing City off after that leis game last season.
Can’t see it but I hope you are right.Form kinda goes out the window in these games. Man United will win.
Rashford down our right channel is what concerns me a lot for tomorrow. We leave so much space there and Rashford exploits it better than anyone.Need to say in the game as long as possible if that means playing counter attack with Rashford so be it, we always have a chance with Ronaldo the later it goes on.
That’ll be where the games won or lost, I think we need a Fred McTominay midfield if Matic starts I can see us being overrun with Trent joining in the attack. A work rate of Fred is badly needed I hope he is fit..Rashford down our right channel is what concerns me a lot for tomorrow. We leave so much space there and Rashford exploits it better than anyone.
Very interesting game tactically. I think the question for United is whether or not you can handle periods of pressure that we have. I don’t doubt that you’ll score but we’ve been so good offensively this season.
Yes. 5W, 3D, 1L after 9 games isn't the perfect start but 4 points off the top is nothing at this stage. A loss for United would probably confirm them as out of the race though. 4W, 2D, 3L and 8 points off the top after 9 is not title winning form by anyone's standards.What do the fellow oppos think about tomorrow’s game? Feels like make or break for United’s title bid, but can we afford to lose if we want to win the league?
I think it could get ugly, Liverpool win 1-3. Ole to be sacked after Chelsea. A defeat won't be the end of a title bid for Liverpool, losing Salah and Mane will.What do the fellow oppos think about tomorrow’s game?

Ranieri gave Rose some diet pills.How did Watford concede 5 to the scousers but then a week later stick 5 past their neighbours away from home
I think ole has done it before with Rashford starting on the left and then moving down the middle for balls over the top to exploit space. Need the pass to be right too.Rashford down our right channel is what concerns me a lot for tomorrow. We leave so much space there and Rashford exploits it better than anyone.

Not bad team selections although I can’t see VDB starting at all..My team selection for the next run of games. Obvisously, this is assuming no injuries. So if a player is injured, just replace him with the next one in the pecking or rotation order.
Liverpool
Ronaldo Rashford
Fernandes
Pogba Fred Mctominay
Shaw Maguire Lindelof Awb

- Subject to changes, of course.
- Plus make as much use of the substitutions as possible, especially with regards to the players who are rarely rotated like Fernandes etc.
