The Footie Thread

[Orikoru]

Not to be seen again, going by interview.

As he stated, I get criticised for not playing certain players or giving some a chance, ’and now you know why’ he said ?

Haha, yeah I saw what he said. Although while Dele didn't play very well, I think it was harsh on Vinicius.

I actually thought he was wrong to make four subs at half time. It kind of instilled panic and desperation where it wasn't required - we were only 1-0 down and I felt we needed a bit of patience, maybe just bring on Hojbjerg to get a hold of the midfield as he seems to be key to operations these days. But to make four subs is something you do at 3-0 down, not 1-0 down thanks to a gift of a goal.

How is it possible for Man United to put in such Jekyll and Hyde performances?

The performances in the CL have been excellent because it suits Ole's only style of football. Defend, counter and rely on individual quality. RB pushed forward and got picked off in the second half, first half they were probably the better side. These results are a veneer as they won't win the CL or even go deep into the knock outs, they just mask the bigger problems. After almost two years under Ole and over £250m spent on his watch, they still have no style of play, no identity and no sign of progress. Man Utd have a top quality squad and to only have 7 points from 5 games is appalling. Two of the worst starts in the last 30 years have both been under Ole for two years in a row.....no coincidence.

It'll be a cycle of good results, bad ones and many average ones. The quality of players will see to a finish of 3-6th but every game under Ole is a waste of progress a world class manager could be making. Liverpool aren't going to get 90 points without VVD, City look way off the pace with Pep burnt out, this should be a season they challenge.

Either they have a style or they dont

You can generally tell from opposition fans regarding a manager. I was very happy with Jose at utd, still happy with Ole. I'm loving the win, lose, draw angle that keeps him, and Jose for a spell, that is happening at utd. It's enough to keep him in a job, not enough to be a genuine threat.

Not happy with Jurgen ?. Liverpool should definitely sack him ???

Nuff said?

Excellent performance, 6 changes and it was so balanced, some superb individual performances, and more importantly, a 4th in the row clean sheet.

New players have settled in quickly, I can see us going from strength to strength now and on a good run ?

Pablo fornals!

I really love that guy. Rate him a lot .. glad to see him adapting

Long way to go tho ... Liverpool's front 3 to all score

 

[Deleted member 21784]

Pfft can't touch Salah near the box. Defo contact which is now a pen but wow he does throw himself down


Well taken pen thou

Jamie Cara what an awful pundit

Shouldn't be allowed to comment on Liverpool games

No issues with the result it's been a tough game we tried to hold on

But the disallowed goal he was talking a ton of BS.

Doesn't matter If defender got that touch, mane (accidentally but still a foul) took out the keeper

 

[Bazz]

About that 40m that I thought we robbed Liverpool of......

The goal was disallowed for a foul on the defender. So judging your thoughts it was hardly clear and obvious, to overturn it?

 

[davemc1]

Given the amount of times they win late on, Im terribly uneasy watching lpool. I really should have more faith ?

Looked like foul on keeper and did they say foul on defender? Because they never say what the foul is.

Only the pundits say oh it was cuz of this .. which they can get wrong

Thought it was a harsh disallowed goal but I’m happy that the ref went over to the screen to check. Can see why they disallowed it even though it was 50:50

Was impressed with Nat Phillips - good physical presence

youd have been screaming for it at the other end, clear foul, clear free kick, not close to 50:50 lol

I don't think Carra should be allowed to commentate. End of. Passable in the studio analysing when he can be scripted and has time to rehearse but simply can't react and comment as the game is progressing.

He was ajudged to have fouled Ogbonna, not the keeper. ??

Stu where did he say that tho? Cuz was it the pundits who explained it because the refs never seem to

But still
He was talking complete rubbish .. and he did take out keeper lol and defender it seems

Unfortunately if he doesn't,like all the other pro's, he doesn't get it.

Its not right, I don't particularly agree with it but this is were the game is and has been for 20yrs +. Its not going to change anytime soon.

It was confirmed a minute or so after the goal. Unfortunately the pundits don't have access to the convo with the VAR Ref so they can only discuss what they see.

Here comes dignity dave cryarsing over the pen ??
