Dalot just demonstrating his absolute uselessness in giving his striker an easy opportunity to score.

Lack of vision is an understatement. I'd forgive him more if he at least tried the cross and made a hash of it.

Difficult to see how it can be concluded Liverpool defended well last night, when many agree on another night they could and should have been battered. If they were to play that game again tomorrow, I'm not sure they'd want to defend the same way?

I felt only Allison came away with huge credit. But I always feel that when a GK gets a man of the match performance, it is because the defence has been leaky and not performed optimally.

But it is always a good sign when a team can earn results when playing poorly. They certainly managed that.

27 shots 10 on target confirms what you say.
Alison was excellent

Gets all the way up there, Hojlund free, then passes back!!

If PSG had scored 5, that would have been about fair based on how one sided it was.

This Liverpool team has a really handy ability to get big decisions in their favour at key moments and big decisions against them in no moments. If the ref correctly sends off Konate, the tie is over.

It was one of those again where if the ref gives the red then they won’t overturn it and if he doesn’t give the red then they won’t ask him to look again

Again inconsistencies with VAR

Was good to see how quickly they sort of the offsides

Seems mad that he was offside with his foot when coming back onside

It was a proper smash and grab - was impressed with PSG

Going to be a heck of game at Anfield

They had a lot of shots from outside the box which Alisson covered very well

But the back 4 snuffed out a lot of them better chances - took a lot of concentration

That one moment illustrates why you can’t play a full back as a wing back. And also why Hojlund is in the position he is - I’ll bet he was fuming at half time.

That is the worst refereeing I have seen in some time. Has he not heard of playing an advantage? Clown.

 

[Arthur Wedge]

With the CL teams not dropping down it gives the comp a bit of a different look

Hard to see the strong teams in it ?

Roma ? Frankfurt

Same description to the commentator and Savage. They thought the Utd players where complaining because they wanted a red card, and went on to explain it wasn't a red card

 

[Slime]

If Utd didn't have bad luck, they'd have no luck at all!

I can see Utd conceding another one.

 

[Swango1980]

Even in games where Utd look pretty comfortable, they'll always find a way for something to go wrong

 

[Slime]

I have to say that the Spanish crowd are superb, their players, however, are pathetic play actors.

 

[Arthur Wedge]

Man Utd should be walking these sort of games

What formation was it when Erikson came on ? Who was providing the width

Onana with some saves at the end kept United in it

 

[Slime]

Why, oh wise one?

As far as I'm concerned, the failing, mid to lower table team did well to get a point.

Man Utd players are far better than what Sociedad had out there but the tactics being employed imo are not suiting the players

 

[4LEX]

On one hand that's a very good result, on the other Sociedad were missing their best player and after going one up it's a disappointing one.

Would expect Utd to go through in a one off game at home.

 

[Swango1980]

Heard it here first. Utd don't have the players to play Amorim's preferred system

And so were United.

Fernandes was playing ?
