Mancs: Post Match

[Baracus]

Sterling looked incredibly out of his depth, it wasn't that his touches were poor, it's that he was simply unable to get by any of the defenders around him.

Yip he was awful, needs a rest

Too Much Too soon. He should only be an impact player. Lost.

[doogle]

Started with the wrong team.

Suarez, Sturridge and Borini should always be our starting forward line. **** knows what to do with the midfield.

It will be but Sturridge and Borini aren't match fit yet

[Kenneth]

We collectively played poorly.

No reason to pick Allen as a scape goat.

He almost gifted them two goals. Pretty decent reason imo.

[Baracus]

Sit back and let Allen pass the football 6 yards sideways and backwards?

Also Do what you want if you want?

[BootRoom]

So was Lucas, Henderson etc. I'm surprised that so many just think he's **** and wont make it

Allen must be 'great' in training, hey.

[Leyton388]

Our Squad needs massive investment in the summer. Our midfield needs completely rebuiding from scratch. Theres some great ****ing bargins too be had in the likes of Sissoko, M'Vila yet we go out and pay £15m for Allen.

[BigChief]

Allen was in for a reason and in the first half did not carry out his job. Any other job he would be close to a firing by now. Please Allen, hurry up and find your form again.

What a lineup including Borini, Sturridge and Suarez? Fantastic. That is the forward line we should start with going forwards. And Henderson for Allen obviously.

[fidget]

I for one don't blame vidic for not drawing the attention of the officials to his offside position for the goal.

[Leyton388]

Also Do what you want if you want?

[kop-al-74]

So was Lucas, Henderson etc. I'm surprised that so many just think he's **** and wont make it

Henderson? He only played 10 mins!

Lucas was much better than Allen was. I couldn't believe it when He stayed on and Lucas went off.

We call him (Allen) the crab in my house.

[Exiled_red]

So was Lucas, Henderson etc. I'm surprised that so many just think he's **** and wont make it

He's not ****, he was poor in the first half today, and better second half. I think he's had alot of football in the last year and he's not used to it, I think he needs a break for a while. In the short term I would play Henderson ahead of him, but I think he is better than he is showing at the moment.

[Redspin]

Can't only turn up for 15 to 20 mins against united in old Trafford. Too many passengers and hopefully some lessons learned by Rogers.

United were much the better side, without even getting into second gear. Sturridge and skrtel were in excellent

What crap. They were so much better that they hardly threatened in the second half and resorted to bringing on defenders

[Mostar]

He almost gifted them two goals. Pretty decent reason imo.

You could same the same thing about Gerrard. He also almost gifted them a goal too.

Our midfield sucked today and Allen is not the only culprit.

[Marina]

Allen should be sold in the summer. He is not up for the fight at LFC and lacks the quality needed to be a liverpool midfielder. Another costly transfer mistake by LFC. £15m LOL

Yeah that's one of those knee-jerk "post-match-thread-after-we-lose" responses. The first month of his Liverpool career, everyone was saying he was our best player. He's had some admittedly poor games but so have several others. It would be a mistake to sell him in the summer, unless he's REALLY **** during the second half of the season and picks up some ridiculous injury and basically rules out any chance he has of getting better.

[-V-]

As I said in the pre-game thread we should have started Sturridge today. Sterling is too inexperienced for this kind of game. Bad decision

However that being said I feel very confident that our strikeforce will win us alot of points between now and end of season. Very excited by Suarez Sturridge Borini
