Lallana and Wijnaldum were huge injuries. Liverpool has exactly one brilliant formation. Game changed completely when Lallana came on. Sturridge is done. Just does not fit with the rest of the team.

Cafe Rouge having a little circlejerk in their RAWK Meltdown thread tonight as if they've just beaten Real Madrid by 12 goals
The game wasn't even a credit to Mourinho and his "masterful big away game management" or whatever the feck they say to make themselves feel good these days. They literally needed two world class saves and a world class tackle to justify their minnow-like mentality and game plan. A minnow's mentality from Manchester fecking United...think about that. The glory days are well gone boys.

You must be a little disappointed that the full might of Klopp was nowhere tonight?

Cafe Rouge is far too classy a name for this place.

Such a shame then, that at our lowest point, with our worse squad since 1980, with our glory days long gone, with us needing to feel good about ourselves..............we were still able to go to Anfield and get a point against the best Liverpool side since 1980 under the great Jurgen Klopp. To me that is boss, la.

Had a nice chuckle reading that :lol:

They've always been a delusional bunch since the 2000s but this result must be much harder to take, especially when everyone praised them as the best attacking team in the league this year.

haha they're positively feeeewmin over there. 500 million for a team to come and play like that.........they came for a draw (and we got one divs).................typical Shitcoat (a whitty nickname for Jose) tactics............

Funnily enough there's no mention of a certain team that has 66% possession and musters 2 shots on target...........

They're basically Arsenal between 2006 and 2014. Lots of fancy passing in the final third that's great when they play a side who concede a couple of early goals. Clueless against organised physical sides who defend well.

Hopefully Jose has shown the rest of the league how to go there and stop them playing.

RAWK never had a problem when it was Houllier or Benitez doing that against us at Old Trafford

It's as if Jose watched a bunch of videos of them hammering sides at Anfield and decided to give his team some sort of plan to ensure that wasn't allowed to happen.

It's basically cheating and, if proven true, Jose should be banned for several games...

Since when is stopping another team playing football a bad thing? That's the objective every game from every team

Just been reading their post match comments over there and the general consensus is;

How dare the most expensive team ever assembled not roll over and play into our hands.

De Gea is the best goalkeeper in the world for making 2 saves.

And in true RAWK fashion, Wijnaldum has suddenly, overnight, become the best midfielder in the EPL.

Get over it Pool fans. You got Mourinho'd, again.

Anyway a 0-0 is hardly the end of the world. I guess they were expecting a 3-0 win which would have happened if we had Moyes.
To be honest, after all the hype around this game I was expecting a 0-0. We didn't do anything really until Studge went off. Although I would say you could probably have got Tony Pulis for a lot less money but you still would have had the same tactics as last night. You did what you had to do and stopped us playing but at the expense of playing yourselves. I mean Manchester United playing a 6-3-1 now that's exciting.

But Pulis would have us playing like that every week, which we don't do. Also, we've played a lot worse under SAF at Anfield but no one remembers that. Some of our worst, most gutless performances under SAF came at Anfield, and that was with title winning teams full of experience. You can't judge anything from a game like this.

Spot on. Klopp has only one way of playing. Yes it's exciting and often results in high scoring wins, but it is easily stifled with the right tactics and I can see it happening a lot more now Jose has shown everyone how it's done.

So basically you're like a typical playground bully. You hide when you come up against the big boys and flex your muscle against the smaller weaker ones. Is that right?

Jose? I thought Burnley done it first and with a better end result. They managed to score two against a defense that is constantly criticized.
