If you had have went one up and needed two more to go through when Fergie was in charge I can garuntee you would have pinned us back and bombarded our goal with shots and crosses until we crumbled.

I don't think a lot of the United fans realised how lucky they were to have such a great manager for such a long time.

If we had Fergie we'd be in a champions league quarter final not getting knocked out of the Mickey Mouse champions league by a poor enough Liverpool side.

The plus you guys have is you got rid of your incompetent manager, we've let ours wipe out two seasons .

What's giggs at, trying to give it the biggie with 2 mins left and 3 goals needed:)

Not the first time he's pulled this stunt, was it against Norwich back in December? Putting distance between himself and van Gaal.

Yes.

Happiest I've ever been with a draw, United in freefall.

Hope we get Bilbao in the last 8, would've said Sparta Prague but they were great against Lazio tonight.

I wouldn't really be hoping for Bilbao now (haven't seen the other teams who are through, but off the top of my head, winner of Braga fenerbahce would be more favourable IMO). Bilbao have some really good players and are in decent form in the league. They're a bit like Everton, good players,capable of some silly results but on their can give anyone a game, especially at home. I watch them a lot. They'd be one to watch, even if they were poor tonight

DDG the best player on the pitch over both legs of the tie.

Probably says it all.

Gutted wanted the win.

Pity we couldn't get the winner for Herr Klopp.

Tale of two keepers tonight. Best in the league with a marvelous save to deny Lindegaard when the game could have swung the other way, and then De Gea.

Let operation thread shutdown commence.

Sounds like a small incident - LFC in the Utd end and police protecting them

Damage was done from the first leg, Id find it hard to believe we would have put on such a pathetic, toothless display as we did last week, under Fergie.

Rashford has been found out

Very harsh on the lad. This is what, his 4th or 5th senior appearance? He is played as a lone striker in a game we need a minimum of 3 goals, with no service and the 'senior' players in the squad playing like a bunch of cowards.

Good draw for United after the first leg. That will give them a bit of confidence going into their match against City on Sunday.

Grayditch

Hearing You'll Never Walk Alone being belted out while we see United out of Europe. Out playing them over two legs. Our fans being sound. Just being a better team in general.

Feels good.

BorneTobyWilde

You could say we murdered them over the two ties.

Sahko for me. DDG was woeful for Liverpool's goal.

Easy stuff in the end.

Fun thread too, cheers all.

Liverpool extremely wasteful tonight tonnes of lame efforts on goal with as much space and time to pick a spot as they wanted. Enjoyable game though United looked nervy most of the match

Well done Liverpool. Damage done in the first leg, United never looked like turning that deficit over.
2 shíte teams to be fair, one was just less shíte over 2 games.

Only unsophisticated football fans can't understand the unique philosophy that Van Gaal brings to the game. To judge him on his true merit, he needs at least another 3 years.

38 points would likely make them safe from the drop.

Irwin thinks Utd were the better team tonight, clearly was watching a different game. Maybe he means DeGea

United's best signing, by a country mile. If it wasn't for him, they'd be in mid table now. They need to hold onto him if Madrid come calling again this summer. Which they (Madrid) probably will.

*edit* That should have read signing in tonight's side.

OwaynOTT

Interesting stat but Liverpool are unbeaten in Europe against Utd. That's over 50 years!

super_furry

Honestly can't see what Fellaini is supposed to offer United at all. For someone with such an obvious physical advantage, he's never a threat from corners because he's so static, his touch is awful, he has no pace and you only really notice him when he's elbowing someone.

Rob Thomas

Well that's that. United played relatively well but don't have the quality to get the goals they need, or to keep them out at the other end.

To be honest the Liverpool goal ended the tie and really Liverpool could have easily won the game. United made a fist of the first half but they always looked loose at the back. We saw the real Smalling tonight, back to the indecisive efforts of old.

I wouldn't be too bothered about the subs, Valera was due that mistake all game and Rojo was struggling when he was changed too. I think there was a case to take out Lingard, he was poor enough on quality. Fellaini was OK in the first half to be fair to him but that was being efficient rather than inspiring and he let himself down with the elbows again. And it was probably no harm to rest Carrick

All in all, a better performance (not hard). And the expected exit. The season is really whimpering out. I think West Ham will win the replay, we will finish 6-7th in the league and LVG will retire in the summer.

Best of luck against West Ham.

You clearly don't understand the LVG phiosophy, a football tactical genius :pac:

I think I probably understand it better than you do. He doesn't deserve half the stick he gets from fans. Woodward is the villain here. People who think LvG is the problem are wrong. Take him out and appoint Giggs and I don't think he's guaranteed to win a league or European trophy either.

LVG is an excellent manager in a tough role that he probably shouldn't have taken given the deep-rooted problems that United seem to have behind the scenes.

He's not in his prime anymore but just like the comments about Trapattoni a couple of years ago, it's completely ignorant and dismissive to label a coach of his experience and success as a complete joke. He's misplaced, yes. Doing a poor job, yes. But is he in the realm of ridicule? Definitely not based on his previous achievements

He hasn't been great, but in fairness all of us would've jumped at the chance to sign him at the time as well.

If he had anything left in him Pep wouldn't have let him go.

He's only at OT to collect a retirement package and eat all the pies.

Seems to be going according to plan fairly well, from his perspective that is!!

He's like a lad you see brought on in a gaa Junior match to knock the **** out of the opposition star player. He's not a player who would get into a top team in the league.

As an opposing fan hopefully he isn't dropped anytime soon
