We look really disjointed atm. Not to wonder with all the changes, but I miss more quality on the ball, Liverpool seem alot more focused.
Yeah, that second goal had made them look a lot more confident, and us look a lot more anxious.We look really disjointed atm. Not to wonder with all the changes, but I miss more quality on the ball, Liverpool seem alot more focused.
I'm not seeing that helping today. Unfortunately, we look like we've lost our nerve since their second. Decent run from Galton there, but not sharp enough to turn it into a goal.4 Minutes of Extra Time..
Yeah. Too wasteful and they made us pay. Need to be more clinical.I'm not seeing that helping today. Unfortunately, we look like we've lost our nerve since their second. Decent run from Galton there, but not sharp enough to turn it into a goal.
Really disappointing reaction to not getting the goals also. We have quite a young squad, and some of the more experienced players are new, rotated or back from injury in this game, so maybe thatexplains a bit why we died off after an hour and never came back. Hate losing to the scousers though!Yeah. Too wasteful and they made us pay. Need to be more clinical.
I guess we'll probably need to win our all remaining games to have a chance to moving on?
Well, obviously Liverpool who were hanging on the ropes got a massive momentum swing from the 2-1 goal, and United obviously became shocked. For Liverpool they got a massive energy boost and were running round on pure adrenalin until the end. We see this happen from time to time when a lesser team gets a sniff, they grab it with the whole hand.Really disappointing reaction to not getting the goals also.

It wont be enough the beat City and Everton by one goal. We must beat them with 2 or 3 goals to have a chance. There will be plenty of the other groups where the 2nd team win games by 4 or 5 goals agains the teams finishing 3rd and 4th. I personally believe we need to beat City and Everton with a goal difference of at least +6 to have any chance at all. Especially as we lost with 2 goals against Liverpool.Just finished watching the game. So poor in the second half! We just seemed to lose control very quickly after we went behind, with the midfield not seeing much of the ball and by the end of the game, Liverpool looked far better than us. Even in the first half, we weren't controlling possession as well as we should have and Liverpool had decent chances to counter-attack. We can still qualify for knock-outs, but we now have to beat Everton and City, which is gonna be tough.
Yea, I know, it’s not the first time. I dare say we beat Liverpool a few times as well using the underdog surge, both with the men in the 80’s and the women in 2018.Well, obviously Liverpool who were hanging on the ropes got a massive momentum swing from the 2-1 goal, and United obviously became shocked.

What do we do now? Treat the cup like friendlies and make the league priority? The chances of going through are so slim it might not be worth putting in any more effort to the cup at all.
