This looked like a game that'll be decided by the 1st goal. Would prefer a draw or a spurs win.

eph12:
Dominated possession yes but those are stats. I saw 24 shots or so but only about 2 or 3 worked the keeper. How is that not poor?

OK, You might want to read my posts again. I am very disappointed with the result. But we created enough to win that match. We just didnt take the chances created. If you think we played poorly then our views of the match are very different so there's no point continuing this course.

eph12:
If you had watched that match then you would have seen that we were very poor today

If you think my statement that we dominated possession and created chances which we failed to take is wrong that I'm pretty sure you didnt watch the match today.

Leyqute:
It's either you didn't watch the match or you're not a United fan.

You think the draw was good enough? I definitely watched the match. We dominated possession and chances but failed to take those chances. SO how is that and this result which was extremely important today good enough?

Still a pretty poor result there. Really should have won that game. The chances were definitely there to win it but a real lack of cutting edge there. Obviously in hindsight that was not the right team to start the game. I would have never started Mata away to Stoke and Fella is just straight garbage. Added absolutely nothing to the team today.We should sticking away some of those chances for sure.

That's a great freekick from Rooney. Still not good enough but I'll take the draw.

Cant believe we're wasting such a good opportunity today.

Good luck to Memphis. Shame it didn't work out for him at united. Just couldn't handle the step up.


Any team news yet? Injury news etc?

Pogba was a 1/10 today. His worst performance in a united shirt. Darmian was actually alright. Fella was also ok. Liverpool are quicker all over the park than we are and we struggle with that.

That's a bad draw for us.

Our worst performance in 3 months. Fortunately it's only 1-0 down.

Just haven't showed up at all. You need to be up for a game like this and we allowed them to settle early.

sinizia:
If Gaal was at United, he wouldn't have left. Mourinho never gave him a serious chance. I feel gutted seeing him leave.

Maybe not with LvG in charge but he wasn't really doing much under LvG for a player that has been in england for about 8 years. He really underperformed last season. Herrera stepped up, even Carrick did. Admittedly I would rather Fellaini was sold but atleast you can see his specific strength and why Jose would want him around for now. Morgan has just been so vanilla since he joined us.

Big shame about Morgan. I had high hopes for him. I remember being more excited about his signing than even Bastian at the time. He just never stepped up last season to really boss the midfield for us. I'm sure he'll do well at everton where there'll be less pressure and scrutiny.

This was before yesterday's game

Games won in first 31 as manager of @ManUtd:

20: Mourinho
18: Moyes
16: Van Gaal
15: Busby
14: Atkinson
12: Ferguson, Sexton

I never like these sort of tables/stats. These tend to be pointless and used to fit any narrative desired.

Brightwood:
Smash Liverpool?


Same way we smashed them by playing 10 men at our own half way way line?

Calm down. Liverpool are one of the best teams in the league. There Will be no smashing of anyone. Should be a good game.

chrisley024:
United have agreed a deal with Everton for Schneiderlin. About £22m. Medical should be tomorrow.

I'll take that.

Will be interesting if Depay goes there as well.

Interesting lineup. Apparently Zlatan is unwell.

Looks like City are signing Rakitic from Barca. Very strange Barca are willing to let him go considering their struggles this season.

Jose confirms no defensive signings this winter window.
Smalling has till this summer to save his man utd career.

Diarra? Sounds like nonsense to me.

So Zaha has been allowed to play tonight but Bailly wasn't allowed to play yesterday?

chrisley024:
Fellaini + Darmian for sale!

Sale ke? I would release for free sef. They should come and be going.

Brightwood:
Mike Dean is arguably the most controversial referee this season, it's time to relegate him to the championship...Dreadful Refereeing.

He'll hopefully get a suspension. Dreadful performance. But 3 points for us.

SIRcumalot:
anytime ref no favour us,make we remember this game.

Yup, but we've had so many bad calls against us this season that no one was crying PDP about so I want to taste the tears of the haters please.

We're so lethargic . You can tell the short recovery time between matches is affecting both teams. Such a poor match quality wise.

Ref and his assistants have had a shocker but I'll take that!

Nice one Zlatan.

Pogba should be scoring that!

Good play Rashford.

Spy360:
I am interested to see if Mou will complain about the referee tonight.

He's having a pretty poor game already and on the verge on losing control of the match. So you think a manager shouldnt complain about a ref's poor performance just because he benefits from the biggest decisions of the match?

SIRcumalot:
we no dey play anything for this game.

At all. No spark. But we really should have scored there. How did Valencia not do better there?

Brightwood:
The refereeing has been dreadful this season especially in Man Utd matches...Jeez Red card? That's rather harsh but referees only get one chance.


This is why I prefer Football, and admire Basketball they use technology and do not believe in archaic stuff like this, using technology to their advantage.

The issue with the use of technology is the amount of stoppages. Its why NBA game are so stop start but they can afford that because its high scoring. Football cannot afford every decision to be analysed by video during games.

Never a red card but I'll take that.
