And, we’re off.......2018/2019

United were very poor in midfield , no service to the attack.
They sat back at times to deny us space .
The Fabiano ball for Manes goal was fantastic.
The shooting was mainly a product of no space in and around the box.
And as the goals proved any deflection and the keeper is beaten no matter who he is.
Klopp didn’t look to pleased when Lovren nearly killed someone in the kop so don’t think it was a planned tactic.

It's funny how a football thread brings out the worst in people... Just read 3 pages of pathetic point scoring. Roll on summer.

Not a bad CL draw for the English teams, think we'll all do well.

So what do we think to the CL draw. I think Liverpool have a tough time ahead to a Bayern side coming into form. Can't see Mourinho getting anything but a PSG hiding. City will beat Schalke and I think Spurs will drag another big performance to beat Dortmund over two legs.

As for the Europa league, I have a Homer premonition that Celtic will beat Valencia. I can see Arsenal and Chelsea winning with plenty to spare

Bayern coming into form bro? It’s 2 months away 😆

Bayern are 9pts behind Dortmund in the league, hardly ripping it up.

One of their better efforts!

to me this looked like a huge error yesterday, kept wasting possession with centre halves shooting from 25 yards out. Shaqiri made a massive difference by actually looking to create chances than just pot shot (albeit he obviously had the lucky gene working well too )

if pot shotting against De Gea was a Klopp tactic Id see that as a negative not a positive based on the quality you have up front!

I cant argue with you, but at the same time the shoot on sight policy could also be said to have worked as Shaqiri proved. 2 lucky deflections, but if he said to the players, get as many shots in as possible, 36 has got a good chance of some going in. Maybe also after two turgid 0-0's in the last 2 years, he thought ask them a few more questions.

Worked on the day, but wont always work.

Which is worse:

1. Your team playing another mid table team at home, winning 2-0 with 10 minutes to go and drawing 2-2.

2. Your team 4th from bottom playing a top 4 side away, drawing 0-0 after 90 minutes and home side win 1-0.

Any reasoning for your decision would be appreciated.

Realistically option 2 is worse but psychologically 1 is worse. As us fans are gentle and sensitive souls, where expectations matter, then 1 will hurt more. Nothing logical about football .

I can't see United getting anything other than a bit of a spanking from PSG ........................ I just hope I'm wrong.

I don't write them off in that. Don't forget PSG will barely break sweat in the French league, they are not tested. Utd are very poor at the moment but they have 2 months to sort themselves out, (if I was MD at Utd I would sack Mourinho but as an Everton fan I hope he stays. Him going is your best chance imo). I can see Utd doing a number on PSG if De Gea plays as we know he can. I think it would have been tougher for you had you drawn one of the other biggies.

Mourinho sacked!!!

 

[Deleted member 15344]

Gutted that Mourinho is sacked - thought he was doing a brilliant job 😢

Oh well- time for one of those hero managers - Fat Sam, Hughes ,Moyes

 

[ger147]

Mourinho sacked!!!

Reports last night was it could cost £24m to bin him, that's a helluva cheque to write.

But needed to be done IMO...

 

[Kellfire]

Party time. 🤪

 

[Lord Tyrion]

Had they just read my post

Disappointed as he was doing a great job, for everyone else. I hope that is the last we see of him in the PL, poisonous bloke producing horrible football.

Carrick to take over! Seems a strange one to me. I would have thought Zidane would be flavour of the month.
If carrick is popular in the dressing room then that’ll be all that’s required. Top 4 gone, but if the squad can get along then top 6 is easy.
