Manchester Utd v Liverpool Match Thread

Mane just needs a rest and thankfully he will get one this time around.

I actually think the VAR bollocks kick started us into playing with that intensity and ferocity, about fucking time, that should have been the players reaction to that bullshit from day one, that incredible intensity and determination to take the corrupt bastards power to affect the outcome of our games away from them

There was glimpses of the Liverpool of Old last night. Finally the midfield turned up in a big game this season ,and it showed.
Brilliant result.
Though I can't say the same about the refereeing, some of the decisions were a fucking disgrace but we battled through which we now have to do when we go to old Trafford, play against 12 men.

I thought so too. Definitely more like the team we know. The press was much better and midfield was really good.
Ref was a shambles. Gave them pretty much everything and his bottling of the second yellow for Mctominay was a joke. He totally shit out.

Is this interview for real?

Check Jurgen trying desperately not to laugh. You just know there is someone facing the boss who is pissing themselves.

Listen to that.

How to get a penalty in O.T ?!

Yep - and there is nothing wrong in that BUT sweet lord - Jurgen is German - English is not his first language - you'd think working in the media he might temper the accent a little???

Sounds like he is amplifying it if anything. I genuinely thought it was a wind up when I first heard it.

I believe the rule is that if the ball was already on a trajectory where it would have ended up in the net anyway regardless of the defender's intervention, then it's not awarded as an own goal but given to the shooter, (and counted as an inconsequential deflection for the defender).

Having re-watched it several times, I guess you could say it's arguable whether or not Allisson could have saved it. So I guess they just had the home-field advantage and erred on the side of "no" and gave it to Fernandes.

It didn't matter in the end and that's all that counts.

Thanks for the clarification. I actually think Alisson saves it easily. Like you say, it doesn’t matter now, and I’m sure Phillips doesn’t want it.

Alison needs to brush up on his distribution skills. Another brain fart moment almost cost us again last night.

Always great to beat those twats
