The Footie Thread

Anyone can get beaten heavily, but having some players chucking in the towel and ETH losing control, that ain't great. Interested to see their response next game.

Even worse when it’s the club captain he just gave up -you could just imagine how Keane would be reacting towards players like Fernandes, he has lots of quality but poor attitude, no fight at all in and his antics are some of the worst in the Prem

Antony is tracking Gakpo for his second but just stops and lets him run from the halfway line.
really poor.

A neutral
closet scouser today.

I did say on page 1841 I wonder how Many pages we have after todays game. Flippin eck. Glad it’s about the football and nowt else.

If I were supporting a team that got stuffed 7-0 in a "derby" I'd be very worried about what that said about attitude. No pride, no fight and lots of mardy bums complaining and wanting to be off the pitch. I'm not sure that's something you can say is just a one off 90 minutes but I guess we'll see.

So we are now just 3 points behind Spurs with a game in hand - unbeaten in 5 I think now , it’s the sort of result that will just hopefully push the players on

Salah was imperious and Martinez torn apart by him , Gakpo quality on the ball and Nunez is a handful , with Diaz to come back along with Jota and Bobby will give us plenty of firepower

The area I thought Utd would dominate was the middle of the park but Fabinho and Henderson controlled it very well and Elliot was very good on the ball. Konate is key for us and is going to be a beast at the back

Very strange selection from Utd - Rashford through the middle just doesn’t seem to work and it played into Konate hands and also allowed TAA a free roam. Still a heck of a lot of work for Utd to do to ensure it’s not just a flash in a pan season , they should bin off Fernandes - embarrassing player and Ferguson wouldn’t have him near the armband

Salah now our top Prem scorer - unbelievable he has been and can’t believe some were writing him off

Unbeaten in 5 you think?

One good win and all of a sudden you can’t stop chirping.

I think most United fans are realistic enough to accept they are still very much a work in progress. And also to understand that, whilst that is a shocking result, it was 90 minutes out of a season where there are way more positives than negatives. The important thing is how they respond to that performance.

I’m always one who sees light amongst the gloom. Just imagine how much worse it would have been if Harry Maguire had been playing………

Harry at least has a bit of fight in him imo.

I can’t remember seeing a UTD side fold like that.
it’s a good job it’s not Fergie in the dressing room after.

I’m sure ETH won’t stand for that performance and attitude.
Shocking from top class players

Thing is PJ,Who could he drop to make a statement.

 

[BiMGuy]

Ha Ha ,the muppet on the pitch.
sees his side muller Utd , then gets himself banned from the ground.

Had to check. You wouldn’t have necessarily been wrong if you’d said me

really poor.

He did the same just before the first goal, I could see one of the defenders shouting at him to track back

That’s a good point
One thing we know ETH is happy making a statement.
Imo he needs to,so Shaw and Bruno for a game minimum.
I think Sourness and Keane would have throttled them both.

I've enjoyed the result but last time I checked it's still only 3 points and we need to turn up like that far more often if we want a top 4 place.

I expect man utd to bounce back next game, 7-0 is a freak result for a team that had been very good this season.

But I'm enjoying every last word from the pundits at the moment, I'll soak this up today.... But hope we turn up same intensity for the next game.

Even when Utd were at their best in 90's, there were still very bad games where we got tonked. We are not the best now, very much work in progress. They've been battling hard most games, played a lot, and today the heads dropped. I'd also say it was crazy that every time a mistake was made, it fell beautifully to Liverpool. Sometimes you expect to get away with some, maybe lose 3 or 4. Had deGea messed up like Allison, Liverpool would have had a certain goal.

Not all bad. Utd were never realistically going to win the league. Hopefully this sort of result allows them to ask some tough questions of themselves in next few days. Harry Maguire will be loving it. Might get a game.

It’s only 3pts dropped but having won the corresponding fixture at Old Trafford…

I’m sure there’s positives for Ten Hag, i.e. he knows who hasn’t got the right character, pride and fight when it goes very wrong. Plenty there for a good manager like TH to ponder.

As for Liverpool, a confidence filler? A kick start, a spring board for the run in. Here’s hoping.

Souness talks some nonsense at times but he called it

It’s time though for Carragher and Neville to have a break

Seriously though - who wouldn't. Feels wrong to defend him but he's hung around taking flak when they've been rubbish (unlike some "proper" fans)!

Anybody who takes a positive out of a 7-0 tonking to our most hated rivals needs a good looking in the mirror.

That’s true I know I would have.

Think you missed the point Tony. The positive is it will have highlighted those that need a kick up the ‘arris. Highlighted the negatives.
