[PL] Manchester United (H): Post Match

[kubrickscube]

Buy a striker! Look how good we looked against Southampton, because we had someone mobile up front! Benteke looked a ghost of himself

[Buzzo]

In patches we were good and way, way better than a really poor United. We don't have enough players that threaten the goal. Lallana and Mig need replacing- neither are good enough.

The longer the game went on you just knew it. Poor Mig clearance, corner, Ibe not switched on to the short corner, 4 jump with Fellaini... A catalogue of poor decisions/play.

I've noticed recently that if we make one mistake it spreads panic and we compound it with 2 or 3 in a row.

No, that is how he usually looks.

[Leyton388]

We need to go buy a striker now. Fsg can **** off with their myth of there's no value in January. Get the ****ing cheque book out and sign a striker. We are in January and there's still loads to play for this season. Sell Benteke ffs and use that to get someone else in if they don't want to part with the clubs cash.

Ibe is ****ing awful.

Lallana, Milner, Benteke, Moreno are all ****ing shot too.

[Venton]

Full time: #LFC 0 #MUFC 1. #MUFC have had four shots on target against #LFC this season. Four goals, six points.

I want to puke

That's a horrible stat.

[el matador]

I'm not sure it is so much of a blind spot rather than we lack good attacking options. The only attacking mids from our side with enough quality are Firmino and Coutinho. We are even further hamstrung by a lack of forwards.

We want to win that match benteke is probably the better option. Ibe isn't a match winner whereas benteke can be on his day. I like ibe but were in the process of him discovering what sort of player he wants to be. Is he a winger, is a wide forward, is a an inside forward but what's clear is that at the moment he isn't a goal threat.

Kloppo doesn't rate benteke but if you bring him on he needs service otherwise he just takes up a shirt which someone else could put on. Same for caulker, if we have two big headers of the ball in the box we really need something for them to attack.

But we only have ourselves to blame. We can't defend set pieces, we struggle to keep clean sheets and every team knows that we gift goals. Doesn't matter how many goals you score if you can't do the business at the other end its a waste.

[Big-Red-Ed]

We really are a mid table team in an ordinary league. Massive job for Klopp. Massive statement from the owners is required and right now.
I really can't stand Lalliana. ****s about with the ball endlessly and achieves nothing.
They showed the benefits of having a top keeper and someone to score off of limited chances.

[danperkins]

All bark and no bite. A squad full of 67 out of 10 players. Infuriating to watch at times. United were ****e and have been ****e all season but you could see them getting a spawny goal... was so ****ing predictable.

Klopp's use or non use of the subs was annoying. Can, Firmino & Lallana looked exhausted in the second half any of them should have been of earlier, sure way to get more injuries too. So annoyed, buy a ****ing striker ffs! Oh and that worst United team ever have beaten us 4 in a row, desperate stuff

Yep. It's a ****ing joke if we dont get someone, we are playing an attacker who hasn't scored a goal all season and are bringing a centre back on late as an attacker. And we cant find someone who'll improve us or help in some way? Righttttt!

January actually seems to be the only time we ever do any good business anyway. Maxi, Godrez, Arbeloa etc etc

[baronvonskidmark]

Klopp has no options up front and we have attacking midfielders who can't score - so he's in an almost impossible situation. All he can do is set the team up to tactically outplay the opposition, which he did. Origi or Sturridge would have made a big difference.

Lallana is clearly not good enough. Imagine if we had a £25 million attacking midfielder who could actually score goals.

I think we've got to look at the bigger picture and see that we have a manager of the highest pedigree who can take us places but unfortunately he's got a squad who he can only do so much with.

But we don't score enough goals. Goals win games.

I agree we don't look threatening enough. Today only firmino looked a threat, Milner offered very little from wide, Henderson and Can were always on the go but its lallana who should worry us all. That boy has forgotten what his game is about, he's re-invented himself and a nothing. He isn't a goal threat, he cant create chances. He's like Forrest Gump with a few tekkers.

this is true also, at least Klopp should be able to attract some decent players and not just over pay for substandard overpriced PL ones.

He need to produce his bit of magic a la Rafa and find us an Alonso.

We have no one to control the game in midfield so we play with no tempo.

[danperkins]

Game should have been dead and buried before they got that goal. Embarrassing in front of goal. Sick of watching them fluff shot after shot, their pro footballers ffs.
