What shit are we playing?? Seriously all no motivation and matic is really dame freaking slow to everything

[Liang_Zai]

We are missing too many chances in the 2nd half.incredible miss by rashford

[lenghan]

Yet again we find ourselves playing poorly in one half and only pick up on the 2nd half. If we were to meet the top teams we would have been demolished in the first half and finding ourselves chasing the game thereafter.
Nevertheless, we managed to overcome this "bad" habit and came off winner

Its like a roller coaster ride for Mou.
Look at his expression when MR scored.
Wonder what he gonna say in post match.

Week in, week out, we are forever hearing this ESPN panelist, Steve Nicol (a die-hard Liverpool supporter) criticising JM, whether rightly or wrongly.
Whilst it can be true to confirm that we are always slow "on the block", this bloke blames it squarely on JM for his poor tactical management of players and that we should have been punished 3 or 4 goals in the first half yesterday.
What if we ":flip" the coin the other side. What about the opposing team's manager that could not see our "weakness" and capitalising on it???? Aren't they just as guilty????
Bottom line...we bucked up in second half and won the game...why don't this bloke give credit when credit is due??

Because after so long we still are clueless. No clear direction in our play. Players are lost too, more often than not square pegs in round holes.

Just look at other clubs with new managers. They have an identity, clear in how the manager wants them to play

[loveikan]

Our defense is weaker than last year so should we attack more? Hahahaha
Will it help?

Ignore all the ex-Liverpool pundits as they cannot let it go from the die-hard rivalry. They can't give unbiased views. Same goes for Souness.

Is about expectations ......


Bournemouth and United are level on points
Bournemouth has a strong start to the season
Utd has a slow start to the season


Manchester United is expected to be competing for the title
Bournemouth is expected to be fighting for survival


Seriously, u think Mourinho, or for the matter, Sarri, Klopp, Pep ....
can they do a job at Fulham ? or Cardiff ?

In this aspect, Claudio Ranieri has my respect .....
