Win ball, pass, pass, pass, pass outside, cross to midget, rinse and repeat

I wonder will it ever been highlighted in the absolute waste ‘knuckleball’ free kicks are, such a ******* technique that requires massive luck to work

I agree from in close. From far out and central they're as good as anything, it's just not a great position to have a free kick in so you might as well give it a crack

Trent trying to make Curtis Jones feel better, conceding a corner from no pressure to then concede

Haven't United had a penalty yet?

 

[manic111]

I miss Jota

 

[Purdy]

Haven't United had a penalty yet?

Way too early, might as well wait until after the final whistle

 

[manic111]

Haven't United had a penalty yet?

We're not in the last 5 minutes yet

Our front 3 have been replaced with body doubles as only thing that can explain why they have become useless all at the same time

I run the risk of him doing something sublime now. Hasn’t he always struggled against the top 6?

In games or teams where they can’t play everything through him with ease he goes missing.

No hes just been played almost every minute of every game and is looking a bit leggy in the past couple of games. Hes struggling today because there is no support and hes trying to kill the game in a single pass. Hes hoping that one of the hollywood passes comes off and we score.

Take the context into account. Liverpool have been boss for the past two years and have an amazing home record. Man Utd are basically still boys and need to grown into men which is slowly happening.

Liverpool are playing without any CBs and would be thrashing us if they could pick the right pass in the final 1/4. I don't know how you can't see the massive gulf in coaching between these two teams. Liverpool players know where to be, who to pass to and how to move up the pitch as a team.

Liverpool get the ball and they have 3 options and they move the ball quickly and with pace on it. We get the ball, look up or start running and then just wing it. Who will I pass to? Where will anyone else be?

Ole is still being massively flattered by the weird league this year and having a good bunch of players coupled with Fernandes carrying the side in the past year.

 

[planty]

Oof, good save

 

[McBain]

Fernandes has to score that’s a massive chance, he’s been dire.

 

[fez]

Good save from Allison but he should be lifting that slightly to give the keeper no chance.

 

[Pigeon_Killer]

Have we had a shot on target yet?

Edit: I meant, have we scored yet.

 

[manic111]

I'd like to see Minamino on for Bobby

 

[planty]

Thiago's one of those players that just makes things look so easy

 

[manic111]

Thiago's one of those players that just makes things look so easy

He's on another planet to anyone else on the pitch

Edit: except then

Bit reckless from fred!

Does it count when you are completely sideways

 

[manic111]

Bit reckless from fred!

He did that earlier against Mane as well. Doesn't exactly come across as a brainiac of a footballer
