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

[Mr Pink]

We need Jota. He’s unpredictable in our line up and it means we’ve got an option from the bench that we can look to after 55/60 mins. He’s be starting games and it would mean Mo, Bob and Sadie would have to take it up a notch.

I feel like the best thing about him coming back, would be the kick up the arse that it would give the front 3.. on current form one of them would be a bench player if jota is on his pre injured form when he comes back...

Will be good to have them fighting for places..

[Mr Pink]

no thanks. Not all 3. Origi should be nowhere near the team and that's an issue for me why he's still here and getting minutes. He's rubbish.

I was gutted when I saw him coming on

[Kenneth]

He did alright

[greenturnip]

I don't think we should throw the towel in just yet...Jurgen and the boys won't. We need to scab a win, get some confidence and just keep in touch and see where we are in March. This is like a normal season used to be before City and then us tore the league up. We need to keep our nerve and fight to the end. And we need Jota!

Mcnulty has a rather one side match review on the BBC.

Just sums up the ‘impartial’ BBC in the last twelve months... utterly **** and biased when questioning the government on decision making and PPE contracts during the pandemic, now pandering to Ole as the new Fergie... waste of a licence fee, needs shutting down

The way they treat offsides now is horrendous. Needs stopping.

That ****in annoyed the **** out of me today.

It was biased as **** too. Every time United went thru, flag stayed down and VAR would be used if required. The one carragher was giving out about was pathetic..... It was 4 yards in front of the lino. But then if we intercepted and were starting a break, the ****in referee blows up and made us bring it back for the free kick.

But in the second half, United get to play on and try to start a counter.

Was so ****in dodgy

[McDermotX]

Jaysus....and we were laughing at Spurs ****ting themselves.

Only a point behind us.

If Everton win their game in hand, they go above us...

Nevermind winning the league, we're going to be in a battle to make the top 4 this season.

I genuinely think we're in need of a major freshen up this summer, with maybe 3 big names being moved on, Salah, Firminho and Gini.

[Buzzo]

The problem with Hendo and Fabinho at the back is not having them in midfield. They both had great games.

[Zapater]

Must have been one of the most ordinary games of the season overall. Both teams below average, officiating ****, a bit lacklustre overall. Where was the tempo and passion, I know that there were no fans, but surely one of the most docile clashes with them ever?

On the plus side, I thought Fabinho and Thiago gave good accounts of themselves.

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

Utd were really poor and if we had been anywhere near our fluid and clinical best, we’d have put them away in the first half. Pogba and Penandes were anonymous, Shaw was their MoM and he was just solid, nothing spectacular. Too many misfiring again - TAA and Robbo a shadow of their former selves last season, Bobby, Mo and Sadio all hitting a brick wall at the same time. Scuffed shots, blocked attempts, unable to pass to a man, constantly running into trouble and losing possession, first thought - backwards. We’ve lost momentum since the restart and it needs a shake-up of epic proportions to get us going again. Front three need challenges for their places and Taki, Div and Shaq is what we have to fall back on currently. Jota is a huge miss and playing him in that dead rubber has cost us. No defensive cover means we have our most effective pressers too far back on the pitch and we leave big gaps for counter attacks. Maybe time to give one of the kids a starting berth as CB and just hope that moving Hendo back to midfield has more positive impact than negative. Ultimately, it’s the **** finishing and lack of ‘on target’ efforts that is killing us. We don’t even seem to want to shoot from outside the box these days... Thiago managed to, so why the **** don’t others try it? A slightly lucky or deflected thirty yarder might just get the team firing again...

[BobTheCharmer]

That for me was the perfect advert for fan free football. Without the passion there's nothing.

I know we all love footy, and need something to cheer us up / take our minds off the pandemic.......but it is a bit **** without fans isn't it??
