Manchester Utd v Liverpool (FA Cup Match Thread)

[Crimson Dynasty]

Imagine what it would be like to regret selling Lovren?

Selling Lovren wasn't the mistake.

Not replacing him was.


Everyone wants to believe that Lovren would have been the cure to solve all our issues, forgetting how error-prone and brain-fart intensive he was.
The decision to let him leave wasn't wrong.

But he should have been replaced.

[HLOGI]

A win would be brilliant, any win.
But a big performance to show that we can still play would be a good start.
Mourinho is the worse manager for us to be coming against in this form.

He is the worst. But if they have any ambition of the title he has to win that game. We are 1 win away from a run of wins I feel. We are not the worst team, somewhere in there are the reigning champions but they horribly devoid of confidence. But somewhere they are there. Hope they come out soon.

Saving him for what?
What exactly does he do? What does he add?
Nothing, thats what.
Now is when we are finding out that our squad is nowhere near as good as we thought. We need people to perform and they're either too young or raw or plain and simply not upto it. Hes in the latter category for sure.

Indeed. Very average player. The lauded transfer activity doesn’t look so shit hot now.

if klopp plays trent vs spurs, he needs to have a word with himself.

it’s simple what they will do. what every team does: attack trents side.

klopp is suddenly too cautious.

Lovren would have been shite. We all know that. He should just have been replaced. But I don't miss him at all.

By whom? When? Over who?

Trent will be playing.

The narrative has been we have barely put a foot wrong last 4 years in market. In reality it’s been average at best.

Ya I agree. I think 1 good win and we could go on a run. I think the league is gone for us. I thought that as soon as gomez and vvd got injured. But we can still put in a good challenge.
These players need the confidence that had last year.

Nothing, thats what.

He adds forward drive and an accurate, powerful strike from distance.

Doesn't offer them often enough, but they're there.
