True that. Lukaku should've buried that chance but I'm not even pissed at him for that. It's the fact that he couldn't trouble Liverpool's defenders that irks me. Some strikers shorter and smaller than him would've shown those 2 CBs hell today.

But like you said, shii happens. We cannot come and go and kill awasef.

Tactical masterclass ko, magical masterchef ni.

We were saved by a combo of bad finishing and super goalkeeping. The tactics mainly helped in crippling our attack and giving us only one decent chance, luckily Liv squandered their plethora of chances.

The issue is not even whether the tactics worked or not, the problem is why does JM season after season deploy bus parking tactics against this mediocre Liverpool side? This side with part time defenders who were made to feel like Baresi and Maldini today.
We didn't gain 1 point today, rather we lost 2.

i just tire. Where i was watching the match, some peeps were saying, you can't put them in the same match.
In my mind i said, why messi neymar and suarez dey start, whats the use of your best players.

larride:
Don't you think that we concentrated on their strengths and never exploit their weakness? Everyone knows pool has a shaky defence, why not have a go at it?

Leyqute:
Agreed Liverpool had no good strikers, but we did defend okay. They had 19 shots, 5 were on target.

Nihilist:
Bruv I weak for the guy. In a game where everybody is hailing the keeper as the MOTM, the guy still thinks tactics are the reason for the cleansheet

Dantedasz:
At the end of the season you will understand The one point gained at the home of your biggest rivals and the importance.
This was a Mourinho master class in defending and neutralizing a very dangerous opponent.

Dantedasz:
Objective achieved.
Mourinho totally neutralised the attacking threat of Liverpool.
A point achieved is better than no points at the home ground of your most bitter rivals.
Different opposition,different tactics.

I'll take any result we get here.

I think it's down to Mourihno's default mindset not to concede 1st (and lose this match) - from all indications, he wouldn't mind a draw & a win would probably be an icing on the cake!

The only problem I have with his tactics is that we aren't looking to break on the counter at all - Lukaku is so isolated upfront

JasonBLood:
He didnt try anything all he simply had to do was shoot at the nearpost or further away from the keeper instead the fool shot directly at the keeper.

elrony:
Nna mehn!... ball no dey reach our attackers sef!

Mou needs to tweak this tactics , Lukaku has been isolated upfront so far.

JasonBLood:
Lukaku fool!

chrisley024:
My main concern with Miki is the rate at which he loses possession and in a high intensity game which we're expecting on Sat will probably increase.

dubylhover:
micki benched?? the only midfielder we have who can run and move with the ball? yes he's had a dip in form but I sure as hell won't bench him and I don't expect mou to

Hello scummies
Some of your members are on the loose sinizia Nd hoopla
I heard Pogba has a suprême talent Fergie left him to go free of charge

CapitalCee:
You did very well to explain to funlord what diggz meant which is correct. But wetin I no like for this your comment is that REPEATEDLY wey you just de put upandan. Rashford immediately took his Chance and sustained his "repeated" inclusion into the team with justified performances. His first 2 matches he scored 4goals, scored in his Manchester derby debut with outstanding goals, I also remember one goal like that outside the box versus westham. So he wasn't given a chance REPEATEDLY, he EARNED it rather than GIVEN.

Lana1:
Ah. LVG na madman.
Who can ever forget when he played Di Maria as Striker and Rooney as CM..
Or when we dey find goal against Southampton at OT and he subbed in Shaw..

Madman

Ibime:
LVG even played Depay at CF over him. Now we are hearing different stories.

Rashford was rated the 4th best striker in Utd youth team behind Wilson, Keane and Fletcher, and the 8th best striker in the club. I read it korokoro with my own eyes in an interview with a Utd youth coach.

It took 7 injuries for Rashford to get his chance, that is fact. He was 4th in youth system and 8th in the club overall.

Rashford was not highly rated anything. His youth career stats is barely worth a mention against Solanke/Abraham who were threatening 50 goals a season at under 21 level, nor against Musonda who carried Chelsea to numerous youth league, FA Cups and UEFA youth Cups as the star player alongside RLC. If Rashford see these guys today, he will still rankadede based on youth levels.

Leyqute:
Sadio Mane out for six weeks with a hamstring injury. Liverpool are looking less dangerous. They still have Courtinho though, who can cause damages. It's up to De Gea to stop him.

I just pray Mourinho won't be overly cautious and put everybody on defense duties, attackers included. He needs to start Martial who will be fresh and fully fit since he wasn't involved in any game during the break. He combines better with Lukaku and he's also more potent than Rashford at the moment.
