Going back to that defending from Maguire yesterday, did any pundit highlight just how bad it was? I know he was criticised, but could you imagine if that was David Luiz? he would have been torn to pieces by the media.

I honestly can't think of a worse piece of defending in my life, it was that bad.

His attempted headed clearance was hit straight at his teammates face from 5 yards. He then tries to head it back to his keeper, which was way too short. Then when Shaw tries to clear it, Maguire wrestles him to the ground and basically sets up the perfect chance for Tottenham to score, and they did. Just one of these mistakes is bad enough, but all 3 happened in same passage of play. It was like Sunday League football 😆

 

So the bestest manager ever Klopp has one way of playing and if it fails has absolutely no plan b or way to fix it. Villa Tore his team apart and he changed nothing all game.

He panicked and tried to rectify his mistake and while doing that he took out his own teammate, completely f**king bizarre. 

It's amazing how he keeps escaping criticism though, Gary Neville barely mentioned a word about it. It's always "the board are bad", how about your centre back is atrocious.

Rio Ferdinand did a good piece of analysis on the United centre backs are week or so ago. Was more a general comment on how the United defenders are getting the basics badly wrong. I reckon Carjacker and Neville will do a deep dive on the defensive wrongs of United and Liverpool after yesterdays games which should be good viewing. 

 

This season is mad. You have to wonder if the lack of spectators is affecting the players mentally. 

I'm surprised nobody on here mentioned how bad Anthony Taylor was in that United game. He seriously needs to pack his job in, an absolutely disagraceful referee, one of the worst I've seen in a long time. 

Crazy seeing both Liverpool and United lose by 5 goals on the same day.

It's looking like this season will be an open one with multiple title contenders. The Liverpool and City duopoly might be coming to an end.

I was thinking about the Martial red card and thought maybe he only saw the Martial reaction to Lamela.

So contact the VAR team about Martial. 

VAR team only comment on Martial - Red Card

At half time told Lamela instigated it and thus goes easy on Shaw's foul in the 2nd.

If this is the way it works, it is damn stupid.

Anthony Taylor is a sh*te ref and has always been a clown. That's like saying water is wet, it won't get you anywhere or does it give you any catharsis either

Maguire is Utd captain and potential England captain. He won't be villified

Tonight, Liverpool have conceded 46.7% of the goals Chelsea did during entire 2004/05 PL season

 

 

 

Greatest team ever 😅

Chelsea 2005 conceded a total of 15 goals and Cech kept 24 clean sheets.

Our standard used to be that high.

Thank God people are starting to call out these so called pundits on the BS they spew on national television

I've slagged him off for years. He's a joke ref. We seem to suffer disproportionately from his incompetence (see the last two FAC finals against Arsenal and that disgrace of a home game v Manure when he failed to send off Maguire), but I suspect every fan of every club can give evidence to prove he is utterly useless.

I cannot believe Choupo-Moting has PSG and Bayern Munich on his CV after Stoke.

Word is Bruno got subbed for calling him (Maguire) out.

We should be embarrassed that we lost to this Liverpool side.

But we didn't. When we played them they had their keeper (who saved a penalty) and Mane, who is probably THE key player. But it is annoying that we played them before we had our signings and best players fit and available. With the keeper and defence that just kept a clean sheet against Palace + Pulicic and Ziyech, with Werner playing striker, think we could really go toe to toe with them. Let's hope that's what we see when we play them at Binfield.

Great that the PL can still have days like yesterday when the scorelines are crazy. What a day of huge upsets. Never thought West Ham would beat Leicester and then the 6-1 and 7-2 were unbelievable. United looked as poor as I have aver seen them - really poor, although the decision to send off Martial and reduce them to 10 men was a poor one.

As for the dippers, just shows that although they are good, they are not as good as all the media have made them out to be and just like every other team, once you have 1 or two important players out, they will struggle like everyone else. Shame this sh*t international break has come at the wrong time.    

 

I just found a carrier bag with a Liverpool football shirt in it lying abandoned on the pavement - I can't believe it's been thrown away.
Those bags are worth 10p now...

typical of LIverpool to be the ones breaking the COVID19 regulations - letting in seven

Starting to get a little concerned about Arsenal & Spurs, both are building a solid starting 11. We've got a very young team which is years away from peaking; Pulisic, James, Kai, Tammy, CHO, Tomori and Chilwell are all potential first teamers who are <=23 and 5 years away from peak performance.

For the next couple of years I wouldnt be surprised if we were to finish behind the London rivals, I am hoping our more experienced players such as Jorginho, Ziyech, Werner, Silva, Azpi & Zouma step up and show leadership and direction to the youth in the next few years. We certainly have some exciting times ahead but we need to show patience as clearly we are going to be inconsistent, looking at the fans reaction after the Spurs game I don't think the level of patience and maturity is there in the fanbase to see us through in one piece, that missing piece being Lampard.

I agree both Spurs and Arsenal are looking stronger.

Bale once fit will lift Spurs like Pulisic did for us at the tail end of last season.

He gets a pass because 1. He's English and 2. He plays for United. Any other defender gets ripped apart  Rudi isn't as bad as him but gets criticised mercilessly as does Luiz and he's no where close to be as bad as him.
