Liverpool v Manchester United (Match Thread)

[Steveo]

Did the ref seriously just blow the whistle four seconds early as Mane was put clean through?!

Yep - 55 seconds stoppage time.

[teesred]

Another completely toothless half. Don't look like scoring at all.

ref is man u fan

[boom-klopp]

how this lot are top of the league i will never know.

this is wat dodgy refs gets you i guess

[LFC vs PFC]

What the fuck is going on with this officiating. Shaw slams into Mane in his own box making a 50 50 challenge, immediately blows up as a foul on Shaw, any offside for them, they get to play in our marginal ones get called immediately. The referee blew up y seconds early as we were breaking down field?!?!?

Decent half, played pretty well, need Bobby to be better second half, opted to shoot when he could have played Robbo in twice in acres of space and later Mane and had he been at his best you feel he'd have played Robbo and Mane in on 2 of 3 of those occasions and we'd be ahead at half time.

Over to Jurgen to work his half time magic as ever, maybe a little tweak or 2 to respond to the filthy's changes, but really doesn't need to change much at all, except making sure Bobby plays those players in and is more aware of and expectant of having those options and isn't snatching at shots when there are better options on

David Ngog would score more goals than Firmino in this team

[HLOGI]

I’ll be surprised if Bobby is a starter next season. He has been the weakest up there far too long now.

Klopp will surprise you

[Crimson Dynasty]

Same old story.

Bucketloads of possession with zero end product, - ....as in, literally zero shots on target (well, maybe other than the one that Bobby weakly passed to De Gea's arms.)

This seems set up just about right for a Trashford 67th minute suckerpunch, against-the-run-of-play strike or a Fernandes 88th minute penalty if that doesn't take courtesy of a Fernandes dive in the box as he throws himself into Fabby and gets awarded the softest pen.

I noticed that. Ie Linesmen calling quick on our offsides slow on theres.. The one of Rashford was like 2 yards offside.. and the lineman didnt call it for 10 seconds.
