Lana1:
No arguments here.

Thanks bro.

KingAlabi:
When mancity won the league
They didn't need to beat Liverpool at anfield

I mentioned nearest title rivals.

Reducing this to a Liverpool argument isn't proper,bro.

nitrogen:
This should be our season, no one is sure about next season. Meanwhile, it was possible to not get points against top 4 teams and still the league, but these days, we have top 5/6, need to get some points off the big boys.

I see folks playing ostrich here,pretending like wins against big boys don't matter.

I'm wondering where it last happened that you didn't beat amy of your rovals and still went on to win the title.

KingAlabi:
You haven't answered my question when last did they loose a game at home in the league ?

The question you should be asking is when they last won a game at Anfield.

Lana1:
We brushed City 3 times last season and they still knocked us out again in another SF this year. So much for psychological dominance.

As for me, i only care about seeing my team win games and the trophies that follow.

Fair enough.
But City was steadily doubling us while winning titles too.
Remember that.

I still maintain that the United side we see today lacks enough consistency to make it a real title contender.

CapitalCee:
Its good to beat them, but now we didn't and its not an awful result, we can beat them at Old Trafford. Getting 4 points out of 6 from your nearest rival is a good result. The 2 seasons that City won the league they didn't beat Liverpool at Anfield. The reason we have not beaten any so xalled big teams is because of our early season form which is understandable

It's not an awful result.

It just sounds and seems to me like Ole was playing for the draw,with his tactics and selection.

An out of sorts Rashfird starts centrally,pushing Martial out wide,and Cavani on the bench.
Then the double pivot of McTominay & Fred.

nitrogen:
Liverpool’s last 3 EPL games were sh1t. They lost to Sou, and played draws against Newcastle and Westbrom. But then, we should respect them.

Liverpool is shyte right now, any club in the EPL can take points off them.

But United habe beaten all three teams you listed up there.

Surely it's not too hard to ask a United squad on an upward curve to get a win over Liverpool struggling against mostly base opposition,is it?


You're actually making my argument for me.

If Liverpool is trash right now,United shouldve beaten them, according to your logic.

CapitalCee:
A point at Anfield is a fantastic result. With little more luck we would have won. Look at the league table, that rubbish statistics of winning big teams is generated by rival fans to see what to hold on to. If you win the league, nobody cares who you win.

Thats a half-full perspective.

That means we cant really separate ourselves from everyone else who's gone to Anfield.
Which means we really can't point to something that makes us different.

I do not feel it's rubbish if you beat your nearest rivals.
Its called consistency, and thats what wins league titles.

Lana1:
Maybe in the days of SAF. But even him didn't always beat the top 4 teams home and away every year.

The team seems to be moving in a positive direction. The top 6 wins will come sooner or later.

Not disagreeing with you.

But beating your title rivals still remains one way of at least getting a psychological edge over them.

KingAlabi:
Before the game would you stake a million for United to win/draw ?

If you're forward looking,I believe you should expect to win EVERY game irrespective of the opponent.

KingAlabi:
How was Liverpool vulnerable?

When last did they loose a league game at HOME

Injured players out.

Dropping points in recent matches with patchy form of individuals.

Let's start there

Lol.

We talk like Anfield is some kind of fortress.

West Brom took points from them there 2 weeks ago.

Lana1:
We beat all the top 6 teams very well during LVG's time. It ended in 5th.

We beat them last season as well. Ended in trophyless.

I'll take not beating any top 6 team and winning the league to beating them and ending trophyless.

besides, were you expecting an easy ride at Anfield in the 1st place?

Maybe so.
But conversely we've consistently beaten the big boys and won the trophy.

So I'd say it's pretty much a marker of a championship winning side.

Funny thing is,we both can't make this argument till season's end.

KingAlabi:
Nothing can satisfy a United fan

My guy I'm pained.

We might want to see the "positives" but we are not Positives FC aka Chelsea.
I feel we are being mediocre for getting a point.

This game was WINNABLE.

And it feels to me more like 2 points dropped than 1 gained,especially when we realize Liverpool were not at their best.

The first half was an eyesore.
They improved in the second but I'm guessing they could've played better overall.

CapitalCee:
Let them top first make we see. A point at Anfield is not a bad result at all. Even City will be happy with it. What do you mean we cant do shyte against big club?

He actually has a point.
We haven't beaten a big 6 side so far this season.

MaziAlaye:
Kdb only has 1 open play goal this season but Bruno Fernandes is the penalty merchant.
Tell me what KDB did against big team this season?

You need to know who you're responding to.

Drum mouth himself,the otimkpu-general of nairaland with autotune to boot.

An astute kind of idiot per excellence with nothing tangible to say.

It's games like these that makes me believe we can't win this title.

Liverpool at their most vulnerable but we kept looking like we were scared to take the game to them except towards the end.

And then somehow Rashford completed the game,despite offering a steaming pile of monkey dung as a performance.

As for Ole,nothing left to be said.

raumdeuter:
Ziyansh has been removed after being disgraceful

Airmark who are you waiting for next? What's the next excuse

Lol.
Shameless VC won't talk now.
I remember all his talk about registrar that time.

Eyah.
Ziyech is finally coming on for the British Karibe Ojigwe.
Hudson Odo.

Lok

Chai see as Sterling sit our keeper Mendy down.

Expert17:
Airmark

2 weeks ago "I am missing Pulisic"

Last week " I am missing Ziyech"

Who are you missing now?? Kepa or Rudiger

He is missing his senile pap brain.

The zombie idiot with no bearing except that wild mouth of his that needs a huge padlock

Imagine Foden bossing a midfield with Kunta Kinte and Kovacic

Lol

afrodoc2:
Lampard phucked up. He should have started Pulisic and Ziyech.

This is the post of the year so far.

If you listened to the numbskulls,including that cockroach face runtime, you'd think those guys were everything to Chelsea.

First party of the year loading.

Foolmark is watching with a relaxed mind.

Mendy is suddenly a basket
Thiago Silva is no longer a rock.

Wenne mighty Timo is doing Wenne mighty things. Obianuju master.

All against a covid ravaged team

Smellymouth:
When a player is your club's main penalty taker, it kind of means quite a few of his goals will be penalties...

Why are you scared to talk about his chances created and assists?

Why are you also not talking about havertz billed as the great creator that would transform Lampard’s rag-tag team of inconsistent hillbillies into champions elect? Kai has created just 10 chances all season... Bruno Fernandes has created 50.

I know you ain't ready for this fact but sorry bros,bruno has been the best midfielder in The league since he arrived.

This pics below is for another day egbon..

Airmark is a dunce incapable of counting to 10 without the aid of his fingers.

All he has going for himself in 2021 is a Bose speaker mouth with autotune.

It's not hard to see that,surely.

Karleb:
Believe has never won a league.

As it stands, we are in the title race but I'm not carried away by what we have on the table though.

In the next ten games, the table might become a mess.

Not buying the title contender thing just yet.
The club as it stands has a deficit of balance through it.
Inconsistent displays across board,including Bruno,though his quality shines by him getting the odd assist or goal.

We haven't beaten any of City,Chelsea,Spurs or Arsenal AT HOME. Big no no for me.
I'm just hoping they can get some consistency in their performances and stop conceding first and putting two decent halves of football together.

I'd rather be cautious and optimistic on the chances of the squad,even though as noted here we SHOULD be challenging given that we are on an upward curve in terms of table finishes.

That doesnt mean we should write off their chances of a title push altogether. The squad personnel on paper is decent enough to at least force a semblance if a race.

But our dear Ole is one selection and/or tactical brain fart away from pissing everything away as he tends to do in the big moments. And that is my biggest worry

Make una sheath una swords na. Haba.
Fight dey hungry people for here well well.

Wishing you all faithful reds fans a happy and prosperous 2021.

Lana1:
Leave them. They're even lucky no one is in the mood to decorate this place with gifs and youtube videos.

I swear.Guys are bitching like jilted exes in here.

You wey be gif master,I expected you to foul up this place with those crazy gifs.

Boys are only putting their words back in their mouth.
Thanks to the talented,upcoming digger Sylvalord and our elder afrodoc2.

SyIvalord:

Never knew salt could taste so sweet.

The tears here can make Nkiru Sylvania jealous.
