We’ll get ourselves up for this one. It’ll be a tight game for 30-40 minutes, then they’ll get the first and our heads will drop. Just hope we keep it below 3 or 4 afterwards.
What is a good result at Anfield?
- Thread starter PoTMS
- Start date
Another rodding at Anfield is inevitable.
Hojlund’s first goal for us will probably be a consolation goal once Liverpool Football Club have eased off after netting their fifth goal.

I'm getting the feeling that people in here aren't optimistic?
We know we're in trouble when respectable defeat scoreline maybe now considered a decent result.
Perhaps I am just feeling down after the defeat, but IMO this is scariest trip for us to Anfield in a long long time. Worse than the game that got Mourinho sacked, or return leg of EL under LVG, under Ole. Last season before that 0-7 defeat, we were still confident going into the game trying change our recent underwhelming record against them. Now it felt like defeat before the game start.

4 nil but I can see it being more.
They’ll score 3 just by turning up. Much depends if the bald idiot uses his head and sets a 4-2 low block or we are the usual wide open pile of shit trying to play out from the back against the leagues best press. Another 6 or 7 in that case.
If Liverpool don't score at least 5 they don't deserve to win the title
The batterings did start under Ole. They've continued since. I'd argue that's more down to our squad being lazy as shown by them beating Chelsea and then phoning it in today. I think ETH is embarrassed by his own players.
Wasn't it 1-0 at half time when we lost 7-0?
Can we try 4-2-2-2 to try and keep it relatively tight:
Onana
AWB
Varane
Maguire
Shaw
Mainoo
Amrabat
Mount
McT
Hojlund
Rashford
Forwards to peel away from the centre, with Rashford specifically tasked with getting in behind TAA (if he plays RB).

Liverpool 18 goals
Man Utd 1 goal
That's the amount of goals that have been scored at Anfield in the last seven games between Liverpool and us, since Rooney's winner back in January 2016 in a league game there.
It was 7 goals to 1 in five visits before we went there with Rangnick (4-0)
It was 11 goals to 1 in six visits before we went there last season with Ten Hag (7-0)
Man Utd 1 goal

Yeah, we were probably the better team in the first half.
The worst result is if we WIN this through a freak goal and paper over the cracks deluding ourselves that we're turned a millionth corner.
Sick of this manager and team

As for the score, a loss by one goal would be a good result (scarily) here. It’s mainly about the performance though. If we look to be set up with some tactical acumen then that would be a huge positive.
I doubt anyone would think we've turned a corner. Even after beating Chelsea, I had no hope for this.
You underestimate the delusion.
I think we're safe from the prospect of that, ETH or no ETH
A goal would be nice. One thing that can be guaranteed is that it'll be another case of Red Cafe goes into meltdown.
Odds are rubbish you’ve to go to -3 really
At least the weekend won’t be ruined until Sunday night next week
What hurts is that even last season the LFC took pity on us and stop wanting more..
And our captain does nothing but mouthing off

A win would be great but I would take a draw 
What a bizarre thread on a United supporters fan site!

Liverpool are beatable. Go out there and play football. Playing anti football will only result in them reaming us a new one.
The squad needs gutting bigtime. Doesn't mean the manager doesn't need to be sacked as well. Some of Ten Hag's tactics are diabolical.
I've seen better from United when we were playing under Moyes and that football was dire too
Also.
This is the first time I've seen a large section of Manchester United fans dreading to face Liverpool.
Their fans weren't this bereft of hope even when they were shit under Roy when it came to them visiting us.
Can't be looking at losing now itself. It's far too early in the game.
It's not about Ten Hag , it's not about the players , Liverpool are our biggest rivals. That alone should make us keep our hopes and any United player who isn't giving a 100% there even if we lose , should be fecked off.

Exactly. These fecking players constantly let ETH, who is perfect, down. The Chelsea win was solely down to incredible tactics by ETH, yesterday was fecking players fault.
I wouldn't take the draw if offered now. We have been playing our best football (this season) right now and have what it takes to win against them. They are not as good as the table suggests.
While you’re correct, I’d still definitely take a draw right now.
A bomb scare and match abandonment
Less than 7….
1-0 smash and grab, properly demoralise them and derail their season.
The same as always. A win is a great result, a point is pretty decent and a loss is poor.
People saying they'd take a loss if offered. 
Massive winners mentality.
I can kind of see thinking you would take a draw , but taking a narrow loss before the game? Embarrassing. May as well stop bothering with football.

I think the biggest question for me is if Ten Hag will be as naive as he was last season or will he shut it down if it goes 3-0, 4-0.
To me , that result against a Liverpool side that had taken a year off, is easily the worst result of the post-SAF era.

I don't think he's learnt anything at all since then. There is no clear improvement from game-to-game, especially after defeats.
I think this will be one of those games where we will get absolutely dominated (again), but Liverpool won't put their chances away. They'll win something like 2 or 3-0, which on paper will look like a significant improvement since last year, but will most likely be because Liverpool struggle to finish. Just like Bournemouth had 2 goals disallowed and hit the post, so could have actually beat us 6-0, but it 'only' ended up being 3. Liverpool will feel like it should be 7 or 8.
I'm saying 2-0 Liverpool. I would love to see a reaction from us based on yesterday's performance, and we may get one for about 15 or 20 minutes, then we'll revert to normal.
If we start with the same hopeless formation and clueless tactics as we have been doing all this season, then honestly the best result is the one that gets the manager sacked in the morning.
You are correct about the fact that this is not Liverpool circa 2019-20 or even 2021-22, but the point is that they require no incentive to raise their game against us. If they do, it will be another massacre. Realistically, I am expecting 4-0.
Well I wouldn't go that far but I see your point.
Would honestly probably take 3-0 or under defeat
I'd count our best team ever losing 4-1 at home to goals from Fabio Aurelio and Dossena as a battering. Before that you'd have to go back to 1990 for another one.
