Liverpool FC vs MUFC - Match thread

[red g]

Will b gutted if Jones is subbed for second half

[Rowan]

I was felt obliged to eat a big slice of hairy pie regarding Stewart Downing after his first few weeks but he's looked woefully average of late. Just doesn't seem to offer anything

[McDermotX]

Error-strewn is probably the best you can say.

Very, very few chances created

[JohnDoe]

One of the worst games I've ever seen Lucas play, and that says something.

Get Downing off for Bellamy too, hopeless. No right foot.

[super_xabi]

Time to mute the sound on my stream to avoid Dot Cotton in the studio

He really needs to do much more in the second half.

[little dave hedgehog]

we've gotten into a few good positions but can't seem to pass from them. dowling in particular, but not just him. enrique has been class apart from the park incident.

[lickedlollipop]

nothing special, and as exiled_red said, MUFC are more satisfied. they can win this game now.

[SB]

get lucas off before he's sent off. giving the ball away for fun.

If he was to come off it could mane Stevie to drop back and Carroll on I suppose

[JohnDoe]

I'd bring Henderson on for Lucas and make him sit and distribute. He can't tackle but Lucas can't tackle in this game either.

[BobTheCharmer]

Take Lucas off and replace with Carroll. Drop Gerrard back and give Luis some support.

Loving enrique apart he's a little too complacent at times and can get caught out. Luis is brilliant but one on ones are not his thing. He's move instinctive and given time he usually picks the wrong option. We have to get into them more and test the keeper. Bellamy should be on soon as well.

I'm fearful that as we chase the game, they'll throw on Valencia, Nani & Rooney and we could get caught on the break. Hate these games.

[MrMichael]

Finding some of the comments on here a bit odd, I thought we've played pretty well against a defensively setup ManU team. Midfield's been very packed, no surprise really that the game has been scrappy in parts but we've had a few decent attacks and easily the best chance of the half.

[Shaggy]

We always find it hard against a team that parks the bus.

[Fredo]

United came here with a plan. Try to slow down our rhythm and passing, which they have managed to do on the whole. They have Rooney and Nani on the bench for their plan B. We haven't been able to get going much, started to play a bit better after 25mins or so. Skrtel and Enrique have both been excellent. Stevie is feeling his way back to fitness and hasn't been able to get into the game too much. I think we've played a quite rigid 4-4-2 with Stevie on the right and Downing swapping positions with him.

[Norbs]

Gerrard and Adam in the middle would lead to defeat. End of
