Nicol is such a gobshite. His usual contribution is to complain about a Liverpool’s player commitment in a tackle. Everytime he says it all I can think is “well, I bet Trent’s attempt at a tackle didnt cost us a league title the way yours on Thomas did.”
Such a strange one, and for me so disappointing given how good he was as a player. Seemed to have a decent spell coaching in the MLS at one point (although perhaps not as good as I remember it?).
Just how much longer is Tyler going to monopolise the commentary…
He needs to kick back and spend time with his family a bit more… the game has moved on quicker than he can keep up
Manchester United were finding it tough against West Ham in the FA Cup on Wednesday but they changed the game when they brought on Casemiro and Marcus Rashford, and went up through the gears.
Liverpool don’t seem able to do that at the moment and the turnaround - for different reasons, good and bad - for both teams since the start of season has been unbelievable really.
Jurgen Klopp’s side have kept a couple of clean sheets in a row now, against Crystal Palace and Wolves, which was important for them but it’s really not that big a deal because neither of those teams offer much in attack, do they?
Liverpool did the same last month when they beat Everton and 10-man Newcastle without conceding, but then they got hammered at home by Real Madrid.
Put it this way, I don’t think it means Liverpool will keep Rashford out on Sunday. They get dominated in midfield and are vulnerable at the back, and United will take advantage of that.
