Be interesting to see if Oliver issues any early yellow cards to our players… For it could be the only thing that evens the teams out

Manchester United boss Ruben Amorim says his players are “too anxious, too afraid” and that his team’s poor form has taken its toll on him.

United head to leaders Liverpool on the back of four successive defeats in all competitions - including three in the Premier League.

They have won just two top-flight matches since Amorim took charge in November and are only seven points above the relegation zone.

“You can see in my face, you can compare it to the way when I arrive and now,” said Amorim, who has lost five of his eight Premier League games in charge.

"Of course there is a lot of pressure. For me, it’s the pride and also the performance. It’s harder when we don’t perform well.

“They are anxious, sometimes afraid on the pitch,” Amorim said of his players. “We have to cope with that.”

United lost 3-0 at home to Bournemouth, 2-0 at Wolves before slumping to a 2-0 home defeat against Newcastle in the space of eight days over the festive period.

They have not lost four league games in a row in the same season since between December and February 1979, while they last suffered four defeats in a row without scoring back in April 1909.

We’d better make sure they don’t score today, then.

The last time they scored at Anfield was Dec 15, 2018 and I was there. I am not there today. Even some of you can do the math.

Anyone know if @Limiescouse will be watching? I’m field a ton of questions and concerns.

oh, you're one to talk..gif

Slot just asked about Amorim’s formation today: it could be low block or high block. We prepared for both. Also we played Forest and lost.

Apparently Amorim has held talks with Jose Mourinho …

Konate has strapping on his knee.

Victoria Principle mmmmmm

The team will need to be focussed throughout in this one. Although United are disjointed and in poor form, i’m not expexting this to be a stroll in the park.

My biggest concern is the likes of Ugarte and Martinez throwing in nasty tackles.

Seems advisable with Bruno and Martinez likely to do what they typically do best

Hopefully we won’t wasteful with our chances.
