When I talk Elampsbaba go say na Liverpool front 3 be their biggest force. VVD go open the opposition defense with just one long pass but our defenders no sabi at all.

Nothing annoys me like when Maguire, Lindelof, Shaw, Wan-Bissaka and Matic just keep passing the ball around with all manner of laxity even when we are a goal down. Only Fred moves the ball forward with purpose that's why I don't blame our strikers.

I still believe the midfield is the problem, and your bolded is correct

For every 2-0 for Liverpool or Barcelona or Man City, there are numerous chances wasted. Look at chances Firminho, Mane, Salah and Oxlade wasted yesterday. As at when Liverpool had 9 corners, United had nothing

Yet with two or three chances, everyone blames the strikers for not scoring at United. Only Fred and Mctom dey useful for that midfield for now

What I said from day one is that Liverpool midfield is their weakest link. I dont know when you heard me say their defence is weak.

All those chances were mostly created by the forwards, the defenders and the goalkeeper. Out of their 14 chances, midfield created 2.

Salah 3
Ferminho 3
Anold 2
Mane 2
Alisson 1
Robertson 1
Hendenson 1
Wijnaldum 1
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by elampiro(m): 8:33pm On Jan 20, 2020
Creativity from set piece has so much to do with the quality of forward you have and other players who can jump to nod in. Anold has 5 Assists from set plays, 2 from crossing. That is 7 over 9.

Robertson has 3 from crossing. That is 3 over 6 already. If they played in United, Maguire, Martial, Rashford, James, etc will be wasting those chances. Mane, Salah and Ferminho are a confusion to defenders.

Hehehe our argument then was hinged on the fact that whilst some of us argued that our supporting cast citing our midfield and defense was poor, you consistently argued that they were not as poor whilst hailing Liverpool's attack.

While the game was on, I watched how Liverpool's midfield joined their attack in the press and how their fullbacks especially Robertson exposed the obvious weakness in our set up...Funny enough, the much maligned Martial was our most creative player on the pitch.

With that Liverpool attack, even Eyimba midfield will look world class.

Do you remember how good Oshea looked in oit midfield? Even Phil Jones in midfeld behind Rooney, Berbertov and Chicha? Liverpool main Asset is the attack. The defence is very good too. But forget midfield.

Fred ball pass Martial yesterday. Forget stories. The memory is still fresh

Fred is just one out of 3 midfielders. Martial created our best chances.

We have two midfielders. Fred and Matic

Fred was our best player. Matic should be third or fourth.

Our best chance was missed by Pereira which was creates by Bissaka. The second best chance was missed by Martial.
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by elampiro(m): 9:37pm On Jan 20, 2020
Matic clever ball to James should have been the first goal yesterday if Martial had the pace and alertness to pull away quickly from the defenders to invite a square pass from James for a tap in. If it were Chicharito or may be Rashford, he would have been 3 yards ahead of his markers. Martial left James a bit confused there.

Yeah, Liverpool's midfield is obviously one of the worst creative in the universe

I agree with you completely

Also, without stats, Fred was the best midfielder in the two teams today. He was even playing in an inferior team with two man midfield.

What game did you watch? Henderson was the unsong hero, the best midfielder on that pitch, if you know your football. I am never his fan, but was impressed.

I told you these players are not smart enough for 3-5-2.
shortly before the game, for some reason my account was unable to make comments on only this thread.

I don't think they played that badly, a cumulation of simple moments ruined the game.
while I believed the 3-5-2 will be solid enough, I didn't envisage the player positioning. for example, why Luke Shaw was left in the back 3 instead of wan Bissaka. Shaw is better going forward and wan Bissaka is at home with defending, it was a farce.

Andreas should never have started in place of Mata. I thought Ole should have tried to get the first goal by playing his best creative midfield available and bring in Andreas for the run around when defending the lead later in the game.

the high press was barely coordinated. Dan James messed it up a couple of times, the other times the midfielders simply wasn't interested. the few times they managed to get in like a pack of wolves, Liverpool were discomfited.

the less said about the goals, the better.
Maguire and de Gea should really be stronger. for big lads like that it's making little sense. in fact when de Gea and van Dyke was about to clash, I thought it was the perfect opportunity to deliberately knock the winds out his sail only to see de Gea on the floor afterwards angry
for the second goal, Mata should be experienced enough to charge the GK down because he knows his teammates were all out for the corner kick. I also thought Dan James had the pace and space to take three of four more steps and get in front of Salah instead of beside him although he did well.

Finally, the board just doesn't want to support this team in any way.

Manchester United's problems have only really begun in the last two or three years. It's been a series of errors made by the board and the management team. Yes the money has been spent and that can't be argued. What can be argued is how it was spent. Last Summer Manchester United's net spend was £60 million pounds, nine players have gone since Solskjaer took over and only three have been brought in. Injuries have also plagued the paper thin squad. The biggest problem now is the apparent reluctance to spend on players desperately needed. The Glazer's and Ed Woodward are running the club into the ground and they don't care about the fans. Unless the Glazer's sell then the missery will continue for years to come. The team needs a minimum of five to six new players that must have the experience and the quality to take Utd back to a position to challenge for the title. Solskjaer needs time and the players he needs, it's high time the club either back him or sack him. Enough is enough now

Who is this one? How come you didn't talk about amounts spent by the board when Moyes, Van Gaal and Mou were here? What about the DNA game that OGS is trying to play? He told them to sell players that we bought for huge amounts because of some stuup1d DNA thrash. Meanwhile, is OGS himself complaining? What is it with you people sef?

It's Liverpool's midfield that enables Liverpool to play the way they play....
