    By the time the return game comes round, we will be Iooking to get number 20, and Brentford will be staring relegation in the face.

    Solskjaer complaining that they don't get enough penalties since Klopp said they were getting too many. He also said Villa's winner was offside. Hope he's enjoying his sour grapes.

    Not really seen the goals back what we conceded. Just seem to me we struggled against their front 2. usually teams play 4/3/3
    so the centre backs only have to cover the one forward. when theres 2 intertwining neither center back knew who to cover..
    They are a decent team and very good technically. But recalling the first goal. I thought Fabinho was slow and should have probably cleared it.

    Both fullbacks didn't cover themselves in glory . Both very poor defending.

    Yeah they were poor..I think with Mane playing stupidly of late its affecting Robertsons form. they use to have a great understanding

    Defended poorly as a team, just awful.

    Shocking. Virgil also needs the balls chewed off him from time to time as well. Villa last season comes to mind.

    If this is the equivalent of the Villa away performance then it represents progress, we took a point.

    Sorry to be a pessimist but this doesn’t look good to me at all:
    Thought Fab was absolutely abysmal today, but, the best I can say about it is, it really wasn't helped by the absence of Gini, Jones was playing the LCM controller role, still think it was a fuck up letting Gini go and then not replacing him with a similar player, Bissouma would have been the right player. For me Fab has his rushes of blood steams into things other players are already on leaving gaping holes and players free in space, and gets done not picking players up and ball watching long balls while players run off the back of him, he of all our midfielders needs that experienced player at LCM playing as the controller who positions himself well around him and plugs the gaps
