Post match: Man Utd v Liverpool (EPL 13/5/21 8.15pm)

Hats off to our time zone warriors!

I’m five hrs behind, so not too bad at all. Went into work early, left early, the only main consideration I had was whether 3.15pm was too early to drink a beer?

Nope, it wasn’t. But just to make sure I had another for the second half.

I think it is quite clear now that Fabinho in the midfield stabilises us quite well. Just look at the last goal we scored. He cleared the ball expertly to Curtis Jones who released Salah to a one on one with Dean Henderson.

I hope this helps make Klopp’s mind up about who to put at CB should we face another CB calamity…

Well you would have been really pissed off then. At our end that is a penalty.

Taylor did his best to fuck us over (again).
The sheer level of his bias is staggering.
Bailly could/should have had a red card.
McTominay should have had a red card.
Cavani deliberate hand ball two minutes after receiving yellow, should have had a red card.

One ir two of those four major decisions goes our way if its a reasonable ref. Not Taylor or Tierney on VAR. Add the rapid decision on the handball in the first few minutes? That would have been a five minute hiatus at the other end to give Bruno his customary pen.

For future reference, it’s never too early to drink a beer. :beers:

Think a lot of people are being very unfair on here.

Pogba definitely deserves a pay rise and hopefully will get a 5 year extension to his contract.

Same goes for OGS. Possibly the best manager in the Prem.

I hope they have a very very long partnership at Utd.

awesome point

for all the perfection of top level footballwhere we can write players like williams off becuase he is (comparatively) slow, isnt it awesome, absolutely brilliant, that whatever happens to these two kids (and they are) in thier career and life, they’ll always be able to talk about the time they played centre back in a 4-2 win at Old Trafford.

as dissapointing as this season has been, i have alot of respect for these players in particular, they could have gone to pieces, but they have both played above themselves…they really have…which may still not be at that level we were, but they still have a story to tell.

awesome. made up for them

Good win.

As I said in match thread I don’t see difference between TAA penalty given v Everton when he won the ball and caught DCL on the follow through to Baileys on Phillips. Can someone tell me the difference?

Also if that tackle happens anywhere (with the exception of united penalty box) else it’s a free kick.

How many times you hear commentary say “well he won the ball but caught the player on the follow through and you just can’t do that these days”…but united can in their box.

How are this shower of shit 2nd in the league, we let them off lightly Last night it could have been double that score :flushed:. Great to see Bobby banging in a couple of goals and us taking more of our chances for a change. Trent was excellent and deserved man of the match. Now we just got to beat fat Sam’s crap at weekend, onwards and upwards.

Taylor got the McTominey one wrong, that’s about it.

Interesting to see how players are judged.
Nat got a 6 from TIA and a 8 from the Echo. Here on also different judgements.

Now to the pens: I think there was no foul on Phillips. The ball was players first. For me a pen was the handball in the first half following Salah‘s cross.
McTominay should have been sent off.
What I absolutely don‘t get is how can the FA give this game to a bunch of Greater Manchester referees.

Can anyone express an opinion thats contrary to yours without your negative responses?
Taylor was disgraceful (again) and if you think remarking on that is obsessed then so be it.

Yes, a fantastic night for both of them and the team. On the other hand, Mane will be able to talk about the night he disrespected Klopp, the team and the fans. Maybe he can mention it in his autobiography.
The atmosphere in the dressing after the game was probably pretty good, but there, sitting in the corner, sulking is Mane. Self entitled prick.
