RAWK Goes Into Meltdown 2016-17 Edition

Just love how they always seem to triumph in the end, no matter what. 
The thing is, a shutout at Anfield has pretty much always been regarded as a good result for us, even when they've been shite. I definitely remember that under Fergie while the talk was typically straightforward - we always demand a win in every game - the vibe was that beating them at home and drawing away was a satisfactory outcome.
No matter how good or bad they are, they've always raised their game against us, and obviously it's a difficult place to visit with a hostile atmosphere. Being content with a draw at Anfield is exactly the sort of Fergie-ish pragmatism which made him a specialist league-winner. Whereas Liverpool always considered beating us, home or away, a key ambition, hence why they would often do so despite being the worse team, and then drop points against relegation contenders the week after.

Excluding the period once every single year when they've said the same thing, and ended the season just as disappointingly as ever.
So we are world class.
Which is kind of crazy as the trumpanzees are the mirror image of Liverpool fans. It's all rigged against them, the people's choice to win and absolute denial in biting, racism ( groping). You could put a red "make Liverpool great again" hat on the heads of the people in the gif we love so much (Olly?) and you would not tell the difference between that and a trump rally.They seem a bit worried...
I'm sure I've read that somewhere.....uhhhmmm.....oh yeah, every RAWK thread on here, like, ever
This idea that were now finished because we played a more negative game is rather amusing. I suppose, for example, when we were grinding out 1-0/1-1 away in the Champions League in 2008 we were finished then too?

So funny hearing them pipe up now. We've battered them at Anfield for two years, they were due an average result.
they know an awful lot of united fans don't they
an amazing number really, every one of whom seem to dislike our manager a lot, and call him ''Shitcoat'' all of the time
you couldn't make it up,
anyway, we beat 'em 0-0 so feck 'em,

What about that other gif? We hardly ever see that...
They are moaning that Tyler quipped about Milner being old enough to be Rashford's dad and pointing out that he is only 12 years older than Rashford. In Liverpool most 12 year old lads are on their 2nd child...
"Every time I look I see something new, like....." *Points out thing everyone's seen a million times.*
From the Mou-thread:
I always thought he was a humourless classless dick
That is literally just the one page of their 78-page thread.
The bitterness.
They accuse us of acting like a draw was a win for United, but they're doing that all on their own.
Like LIverpool did to us? Oh wait...
Might have a point there
I don't get the Van Gaal comparisons. They have completely different approaches to how they want their teams to play. What is the argument behind this, they both play boring football?Might have a point there
Gotta give them credit for actually practicing what they preached for the last 2 decades.
Really makes you wonder...
He really does get under their skin.
What I found funny was the guy who said over 10 games if the game was played out like that Liverpool would win 5 and draw 4, completely ignoring the fact Mourinho has gone there with those tactics and won on Numerous occasions .
Did I miss something, but didn't the mighty attacking machine, aka Liverpool FC, take off a striker and bring on a midfielder as they continued their assault (cough) on the United goal. They were clueless and caused very little threat in the whole game. They were just as happy to get a draw, and did not want to leave a gap to be exploited. Seems they are butt hurt that they didn't smash us, when for the first 45 mins they spent most of their time finding it difficult to get out of their half, and in the second half they ran out of ideas, stating a run of the mill DDG save from a long range shot (
) as evidence they deserved to win, really.
) as evidence they deserved to win, really. That's pretty damning evidence. I can assure you its not me as I don't use RAWK and have no interest. I was punching the air out of relief though, that much is true.You're mistaking Lallana coming on as a defensive move from Klopp. Sturridge had an awful game on Monday and we're a better side with Firmino up top. We were actually threatening to create something as soon as Lallana came on.Did I miss something, but didn't the mighty attacking machine, aka Liverpool FC, take off a striker and bring on a midfielder as they continued their assault (cough) on the United goal.

wtfI am not saying he brought on a defensive midfielder at all. But an attack minded manager would have taken off a defender to bring on another attacker, hoping that someone like Sturridge would get more room. I don't know who that would be, but that would have been more positive. We have seen this by many managers who either needed to win or felt they could break through.
I think it was more to do with trying to get us back to as close to our preferred formation as possible. Sturridge hasn't looked right all season and the general consensus is that he doesn't suit Klopp's style of play. Some of our best football has come with Firmino in the false 9 and Coutinho/Mane either side of him. Out of the options available Origi hasn't really provided much this season, and the other option was Grujic who is very inexperienced so Lallana was the best option.
Sturridge wasn't getting anything against Smalling and Bailly anyway. We actually looked like we could build up some pressure when Sturridge went off for Lallana.
Can't you take your discussion to the Liverpool thread.
Sorry, the post I was responding to was in here.
Two wrongs don't make a right. This comment isn't particularly aimed at you, this entire thread is an absolute mess. It needs to be moderated a lot better, or just closed on the grounds it's simply a Liverpool mega-thread.
It's still sort of RAWK related. There's probably a consensus on there that Mourinho parked the bus which I believe @SalfordRed1960 was addressing. I agree that RAWK are being daft if they think United parked the bus, but it'd be right of them to not consider the Lallana substitution as a defensive move from Klopp.
Is RAWK really that crazy, or is it just that now and again some things happen that create some crazy posting all at once? I read some of the match preview threads over there and there's a fair bit of sensible posting that goes on from what I've seen. Maybe I'm just not reading the right threads?
