Match Thread: Man Utd v Liverpool

[Insidious]

When Utd have to take teams on and not sit in they will get picked off.

Casemiro will improve them for sure but not on his own by much.

For reasons that should be obvious I won't follow them closely - I can't help but feel that we witnessed their Cup Final tonight and that a crash back to Earth will come sooner or later. Perhaps they ride the momentum until the World Cup if they're lucky, but I am certainly not sold on the idea that they are transformed overnight.

The lads on Sky seemingly have forgotten what new-Manager-bounce looks like.

Biggest worry for me is we aren’t working hard. That’s a huge part of our play and we look casual and arrogant particularly at the back. We do badly need a new midfield player to give the team a lift. Klopp will surely be absolutely livid behind the scenes.

This for me. Workmate has dropped off with some players or it looks that way.
We obviously have injuries which is affecting but the lack of communication in the back line is causing issues. It doesn't look settled and reliable, We are conceding goals much more than we used to.

Gomez looks way off the level required

That rashford chance in second half where we stood off was absolutely ridiculous. 2 nutmegs and half tackles and then vvd standing off to the side with his hands on his nuts. Soft arses tonight.

Gomez is a championship player at best. Who the hell thought it was a good idea to offer a player made of Doritos a new contract.

Gomez is a decent RB but he’s never a CB in a million years.

Gomez looks way off the level required

Always seems to need a few games to get up to speed, wasn't protected by Fabinho, with the lads either side of him (Trent, Van Dijk) hardly having stormers.

He was poor - but so many were.

Jurgen should say we were shit cos we were until last 20 and even at that it wasn’t like we were cutting them open near the end.

[miller0863]

That pathetic attempt at a tackle on Rashford near the end though… Jeez.

Gomez is a decent RB but he’s never a CB in a million years.

I agree on that. I think he'd suit a 3.. right of a 3 as a wingback. he's not good enough in a 2.
Matip and Konate are good in my opinion..Gomez is good defender but nothing special
