Liverpool vs Man Utd - Premier League (20/21 - Game 18)

[Rafa Justice]

We need a permanent CB and at least a loanee, both better than Williams and Phillips.

If we can't get one of those done by the end of Jan then kiss goodbye to this season. **** the pandemic, the owners asset will depreciate far more than the cost of a new CB, stick your hand in your pocket and pay up you pricks.

[Tribute]

Bruno Fernandes has a quiet game and Utd are right back to what they were 12 months ago, very ordinary.

They were all ****, despite what Neville and Tyler were creaming themselves about. Bang average team and manager. City win this league all day long now...

[Slinky Skills]

I don't get how we've gone from pummelling Palace a few weeks back to being completely devoid of creativity and any ideas, we look ****ing clueless.

Especially if a loan is available. Easy decision, surely.

To be fair the Palace game is the outlier here

I've been saying it ages, even last season, the front do not play well as a 3. It's tired. Top 4 is going to be hard. Burnley won't make it easy either.

Let's hope so. Because we ain't winning it.

[Rich]

Pretty grim that. We don’t look like a well oiled team anymore - looks like players getting used to new team mates!

[dizzycat]

We look completely jaded and we need someone to lead us out of the malaise. I did not get the subs at all either. What is the point of Origi if the forwards aren't getting any service.

[Norbs]

It feels like a frightened new system designed to protect our makeshift defence. Trouble is that if they allow us to have the ball then we've not got enough other options to create.

Gini's gone already IMO, TAA looks off physically despite what others may argue. Salah is hellbent on trying to dribble his way through a packed defence and it's not working. Firmino looks a shadow of his former self. Mane is suffering from poor service and a lack of space to run in to.

Highlight of the game was when Thiago decided to have a shot. More of that please

And yet if that bent ref had allowed the full quota of time at the end of the first half we could've been celebrating a win

because Firmino missed his chances?

Let's see what form Jota is in when he gets back, could be the spark to turn things around, or at least put some pressure on the forwards.

[Fredo]

Not a bad result considering we’re playing with two midfielders at centre back. Missing some spontaneity and sharpness upfront. We’re creating but not clear cut ones. Not a lot between now and us getting back to winning games as we’re good at the back and we did suffer a lot last year as well and won a lot of games scraping it with one goal. Not happening this year.

The rest of them were for the most part what they are. Fernandes carries them.

[Irishnev]

No goal in 3 games and no win in 4 - been a long time since that has happened......a few years for sure. We are lacking the intricate attack moves we used to have - the interplay between the front 3 and the full backs. I don’t want to single out Salah and Firmino but the two of them are so off it - they can’t make simple passes, their decisions are woeful. Salah used to roll players and now he can’t do it - he dribbles into trouble.....loses it and throws his hands up in frustration at something.

As good as he has been at CB we badly miss Fab in midfield - he stamps out so much and gets us on the front foot. It frees Hendo up to drive up and down the pitch and we miss that also with him beside him at the back.

We are fighting for the league but we might not even make the champions league - it is so congested and we have lost our mojo. If Fab was to get a bad injury we are ****ed - I still think we need a CB. Even on loan - **** long term plans........no champions league would **** us and maybe our supposed target wouldn’t join as well as the money we’d lose

I am frustrated but also a bit relieved
