One win in four league games. That’s the kind of form that got Lampard the sack! Bruno having a bit of a lean spell (aside from the winner in the cup).

United have really gone off the boil since they won the title a couple of weeks ago. Must still be hungover.

No penalties for a few games. Makes you think.

Today looked like the woeful City game.

Like they’d all agreed to just have a bit of a kick about for a nil nil and take a point each. Nobody on either side looked like they were particularly arsed.

United have really gone off the boil since they won the title a couple of weeks ago. Must still be hungover

Yet even if you win tomorrow - which is far from a given, with yours and West Hams respective form - you’re still sat behind us and Citeh.

Lose and West Ham put you out of the top four

Everything’s relative

Rather be where we are than where you are

7 years without challenging for a premier league title and out of the champions league for another year - yeh okay 😂

Last time I looked 7 years beats 30

I don’t think for a second we’ll win the title this year. Neither do any United fans who are engaged with reality. It’s Citeh’s to lose

That’s very different from the tediously laughable 3 decades of this at the other end of the M62

Hopefully the next 30 years allow you to come to terms with it a bit easier 😉

Um... you haven't won anything yet.

Also, look what Man U fans are reduced to boasting about 😆

We don’t think we’re going to win anything. Like I said repeatedly l: I think the title is City’s to lose.

Do try and keep up dear

EDIT: actually, we’re still up for an FA Cup since we knocked you out of it last weekend 😃

I posted before your edit but saying this

Seems to be assuming that you won't be waiting 30 years, or longer.

'Living in the past' used to be the standard insult for Liverpool fans from Man Utd fans, how things change eh?

Not really. You’re not looking even close to defending a title. It’s gone already. You’ve not a chance of winning it, and tomorrow you could be out of the top four. You got your first goal of 2021 the other night after 4 games without scoring. That’s a title defence?

If you win tomorrow, we’re still above you

Not much of a title defence, is it really? After 30 years of asking?

As the preamble for the United Arsenal game pointed out tonight, for ten years Fergie and Wenger made sure there was nobody else in the mix. It was one of the two. Where were you? 5th? 7th? Mid-table obscurity?

Was it ‘your year’?

The positions Utd have been in the past 7 years 😂🙌🏻

It’s lovely seeing Utd fans with some hope after winning the January 2021 league title. It’s been quite sad watching their demise the past couple of years - not even a peep of wanting to engage with rival fans - nearly became as bad as ArsenalTV 😆

Last time I looked Liverpool won it last year not 30 years ago - Utd last won it 2013. And we won’t go into the last time Utd seriously challenged for a Champions League 🙈

Its pretty depressing to see that this is still going. If anything, it seems to be getting worse

I bet loads of knuckle-draggers will also get upset that he said he's proud to be black, as in 'why can he say that but we're racist if we say we're proud to be white' etc 🙄

Extra 3 points and a few more goals - that’ll do. Someone reminded us we only just scored our first goal of 2021 a week ago - still nearly double GD of number 2 in the table 😂

Looking a little bit more like ourselves the last two games 🙌🏻

Liverpool have signed a centre-half.

I wonder if he'll get injured signing the contract 🤔

Fair chance - probably why they’re trying to sign another.

I think it was on the beeb feed that I saw it...

“A telling line from the Klopp interview: ‘I can’t wait to meet him.’”

😀 Desperate times.

I’m guessing he breaks his ankle as he gets off the train at Lime Street.

I’m going for him being crushed by a falling grand piano outside Anfield or run over by a Coyote on a pair of Acme rocket-powered rollerskates

How about death by a sheet of glass like the journalist in The Omen?

The way things are going the back four will be Salah, Barnes, Rush & Dalglish

They’re trawling Facebook for proud dad footage of any lad that looks a bit handy at the back...

Blimey! You expect that kind of abject stupidity from Walking red card David Luiz, but WTF was Leno thinking?

Going down to nine men? A good way to end the decent run you’ve been on

We are a bunch of nice lads: maybe we should have really made them look at it before the game started again.

https://www.theguardian.com/football/2021/feb/01/ole-gunnar-solskjaer-bemoans-incorrect-decisions-identified-manchester-united-loss-to-sheffield-united

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has said his players were right to surround referee Craig Pawson during the defeat to Liverpool after Manchester United were hit with an FA charge for failing to control their players.

🤔

An old fashioned reducer! Saints will do well to keep this under ten.

Marcus Rashford says he is "pleased" about surpassing Eric Cantona on Manchester United's list of goalscorers.

not really the same impact though eh?

Give him a chance. He’s only 23

Maybe he should turn his collar up 😂

Still willing to dive for penalties when 6-0 up, that's the mentality that wins you titles.

He’s having scans but initial disagnosis are showing he may not lose the leg

He did clip him, it was a penalty, he was 'within his rights' to go down.

It's just become so ingrained now that as soon as they feel contact they don't even try to stay up; he was clear through on goal and gave that up for a penalty and a red card.

Presumably they don't back themselves to score and take the safer option as a result. On that basis do defenders need to learn that if making the challenge risks the penalty, which the player will go for 9/10 times, absolutely don't make the challenge and pull out earlier and gamble that the lack of confidence in the 1-1 situation with the keeper is correct.

In basketball this is ingrained in players, they'll stand back and give a run to the basket if they know they have little chance of avoiding contact. I know that 2 points in a 100-100 game are in comparison way less valuable, also 5 / 6 fouls and you are fouled out but that's part of that game, does it need to become part of football too, where excellence of both strikers and GK in 1-1 situations is the deciding factor, not who can fall over best and con some bloke in Stockley Park. I'd have given Peter Schmeichel or Shilton more chance in a 1-1 far more than from the penalty spot, for example so let that happen rather than give the striker the 'right'

You’re eyesight is better than mine as I saw no contact and neither did Dion Dublin on MOTD. But as you say there was not enough to go down. Makes me look forward more to the 6 nations as a clip would not bring down a trained athlete.
