Liverpool vs Man United - match thread

[Pablo]

KO: Sunday, 4:30pm (GMT)

My team:

Alisson

Trent Konate VVD Robbo

Fabinho

Henderson Bajcectic

Salah Gakpo Nunez


Trent vs Rashford is going to be our big battle so putting Hendo in there to hopefully provider better cover.

Gakpo looked sharp when he came in so he gets the nod for me ahead of Jota and Bobby (who just hasn't played enough minutes).

[Shaggy]

Konate helping Trent on that side is a massive bonus and probably explained Trent's improvement in midweek.

These aren't scary at all. They're efficient and get results but they don't scare you like we've done to teams at our peak. I watched them v Leeds (h) and Leicester and they were ****. Leicester should've been 3 up after 20 minutes.

Agree with that team. If we get in their faces, and with the crowd rabid, I think we'll beat them 2-0.

[Buzzo]

It feels like the exact flip of the first game with them this season. Then, we were overwhelming favourites, with them having just lost 4-0 to Brentford. Now they are grabbing all the headlines whilst the talk is all about our demise.

I think we can get at them also. It would be a great game to win to invigorate everyone from fan base to playing squad.

Scum! Hopefully a dodgy penalty will win it for us

You reckon we'll get given our first penalty all season against the Mancs?? dreaming pal.

Rushford is going to have a field day against our back 4.

[BigChief]

They're using the same first XI to win games. Sure they start some games with reserve players but quickly bring on their main players because Haag's got no choice. West Ham game for example.

They can't keep doing this every Sunday and Thursday. We should know. If not this season, there will be mental burnout next season despite a summer break. Again, we should know. Rashford and Casemiro can be injury prone and these minutes catch up in the soft muscle tissue. And thrice, we should know.

If the ref/VAR behaves we should be winning this. How the feck do you lose to a team with Fred, AWB and a 4' CB in it?

[Kenneth]

You get done on the counter. That’s their game this year

Its a full time job trying to keep morale up round here isnt it? And for that you get called a ****ing 'happy clapper'.

Happy Clapper makes me laugh though as it kind of sneaks in past the PC radar and it always makes me think, think not type mind you, "you window licking cunt" whenever I see someone putting it in a post.


So I am content to be a Happy Clapper as it allows me to think non PC thoughts about those that call me it.

Plus us Happy Clappers are more likely to survive a cold snap than our counterparts. See you on the other side mother****as

Its amazing how quickly the tables turn. last season those stupid mixed 11's would have had 90% Liverpool, Now its the other way round

Thought you’d say that to wind people up.

I'd still have Alisson, Konate, Robertson and Darwin getting into mixed XI.

And if fit Thiago would too.


Actually Salah gets in too if it is between him and Sancho on the right flank.
