GWT: PL Matchweek 8

[YNWA14]

I don’t feel bad at all. With any luck United will get relegated. Everton can go with them.

 

[bleedblue1223]

I'll never feel bad for any historically successful team doing bad. That's like feeling bad for the Wall St guy that lost money on a bad deal.

Would you not miss the excitement of derby games ? :p

It's especially unnecessary when certain historically successful teams are hell-bent on rigging the finances of European football in perpetuity to make it harder for them to fall on genuinely hard times.

Pogba over Henderson, but yeah.

Pogba over Henderson, but yeah.

Probably Maguire over Matip as well.

Alisson vs de Gea is really the only other debatable, but I think Alisson’s distribution fits Liverpool’s style better than De Gea’s shot stopping.

I wouldn’t take Maguire over any of Liverpool’s defenders. Would rather play Wijnaldum at CB tbh.

 

[The Abusement Park]

Speaking of DDG he limped out of the Spain game. So 6-0 here we come.

You think they’ll slow down in the second half?

 

[Duchene2MacKinnon]

Sergio Romero the saviour

 

[Savant]

I’m not loving this narrative that Liverpool are automatic to go over United. Old Trafford has not been a great fixture for Liverpool and this is one of the two games a season United show up for. This isn’t going to be a cakewalk. Still think Liverpool will win, but it’s going to be cagey.

Yeah but the last few seasons we've had managers who have actually had some tactical nous. Klopp should pick apart OGS pretty easily imo, especially with this rag tag roster we have.

That’s what we said last season. First game after an international break. I’m not buying it. Last year they went to old Trafford and played for 0-0. I certainly hope we don’t get that again. There was no urgency in that fixture whatsoever.

Even if Mou isn't the manager he used to be he's exponentially better than OGS. Especially at getting results.

OGS was managing that fixture last season. Jose only managed the Anfield fixture. It’s about the venue though. Not the manager

And the Liverpool game last year was during the honeymoon period. I mean the guys should be up for this game and I hope they play well, but I think you guys will just run us over.

 

[hatterson]

The Mourinho game against Liverpool was when United was played off the pitch and it got Jose fired.

The OGS game was the one where United came into the game with a couple injuries and had to make 2 injury subs within the first 30 minutes and played basically the entire second half with 10.5 men because Rashford couldn’t run due to a knock he picked up. United were just trying to grind out a draw given everything going on.

This time there will be a lot of pressure on them not to just grind out a 0-0 draw and I predict it’ll backfire spectacularly.

True, but if they were playing City it would be the only way to win.

 

[Gecklund]

The real 11:

Lee Grant
Ashely Young-Phil Jones-Eric Bailly-Marcus Rojo
Nemanja Matic
Fred-Juan Mata
Jesse Lingard-OGS-Xherdan Shaqiri

obviously Shaqiri is the only player anywhere near good enough on Liverpool to break the best 11.

Injury-wise, the match at OT last season was one of the most bizarre things I've witnessed.
