Post Match: Liverpool v Man Utd (EPL 5/3/23 4.30pm)

Ten Haag looks like a principal who heard about a fight at the school cafeteria but has not seen it first hand

I reckon it’s quite easy to explain, personally.

They’re a team of fucking individuals whose recent run has been entirely propped up by Rashford’s purple patch, summed up by a skipper who cracked it because he wasn’t brought off.

A complete and total house of cards. I’m fucking stoked it was us what kicked it over.

That clip of souness before the game saying how confident he was of liverpool winning and Gary Neville, Roy Keane and even carra sniggered a little bit, love how it has all unfolded with Neville sour faced in the studio after the game, Souness still giving it to Neville before the ad break, with Neville having a look at the camera as if to say what is he talking about and Carra is laughing with Neville

And Bruno is not fit to sniff the farts of the bloke who isn’t fit to carry Hendo’s kit bag.

I think he isn’t counting the ones that were scored.

The first half was one of our best halves of the season no doubt, but it was also part of a dynamic Utd were clearly content to allow. You dont play a Fred-Casamiro double pivot away at Anfield and expect to controlling a game with possession. They were on the back foot, but getting the ball into the sort of positions they would have planned on doing and gave us a couple of scares. So any analysis of the game that hopes to make sense of it HAS to acknowledge that the first half was a well contested affair because that is the only way to properly contextualize how awful their response was to going 3 down. It was Sunday league stuff, giving up the result early on and deciding the only thing they were going to get out of it was a hurting one of the opponents with a nasty or cheap foul.

Checking into BlueMoon for the schadenfreude these last years, RedCafe now seems calm and relatively normal. Disappointing.

I let him know it’s never too late to come back to the good guys! but he’s headed for Chelsea i think, he loves blue, and received a Chelsea kit as a hand me down from a cousin. The ship hasn’t sailed yet, but it’s preparing for its journey. If kits weren’t outrageously expensive I’d look to solve the issue, but I’m just happy he’s interested to be honest.

Thank god I saved some popcorn for this…Souness tearing into Neville…Can hear in Neville’s voice, he’s trembling.

I fucking love harlequin Goldbridge but he does know football.

At 2-0 a real team would have dug in, worked hard, and fought.

They honestly could not have worked less from that point onwards.

The whole thing is a fugazi and half the squad needs getting rid of.

LOL

I missed the first half, but luckily, could catch the second. What a half that was!

The energy is obviously back in our game, and it makes the whole difference. With it, everything which made us so deadly during previous seasons, is back too. The lads looked secure at the back whenever put under pressure, but most importantly, found their gegenpress again. Result: the red mancs got smashed like never before! Add in Gakpo, Nunez and Salah on fire, and Bobby doing what Bobby does best, and you get a SEVEN NIL!!!

I’d want to add that I value the nil at the back exactly as high as the seven upfront, although it’s always enjoyable of course when everything comes together like that. There is now a clear pattern emerging, with our lads’ form going up, and it’s really enjoyable to see that this happens with the new players included: Elliot was fantastic I thought, Gakpo looks increasingly impressive in that side, and Nunez looks every inch the 80 millions striker we bought a few months ago. KonatĆ© was fantastic imo.

But the stalwarts are back too: Fabinho, Hendo, Robbo, Van Dijk. Well done Kloppo for maintaining your trust in them. Form is temporary, class is permanent.

A thoroughly enjoyable way to end this week-end, which for me, was quite enjoyable before that too. But boy, six goals in a half against the mancs… that’s truly Christmas gift level… :joy:

Edit to my point above.

They’ve been propped up by Rashford’s purple patch and Casemiro. The latter was proppy today, contributed nothing, and they got fucking pantsed.

Nothing better than hearing Gary after a Utd loss…even Roy sat next to him was embarrassed for him.
