Awful awful awful awful half of football/

LuckyGent88

So what's the difference from that to the bailly card??

Not that I thought it was a yellow either

glued

Two harsh yellows so far.

Osmosis Jones

Think we can all agree the ref's ****e

klose

Always nice to see a ref card a player who's always in his ear.

ERG89

Highlight of the first half was Martin Tyler suggesting Milner could be Rashfords Dad at aged 11

leakyboots

Awful match so far

niallo27

This must be awful for a neutral

martyos121

Klopp racing Jose to the dressing room. Some pace on him!

Nice consistency by the ref

Why are you blaming Sturridge?

99% of his posts are bile about Sturridge
The chap is obsessed.

Ref is clueless

Lukker-

No wonder Sky PL viewing figures are down 20%. Here I was thinking I'd have a nice hot blooded game to break up a dreary Monday night.

****e game ref is letting Wimbledon away with far too much

BorneTobyWilde

Klopp will sort it at half time/
Would expect to see something more

super_furry

That's was dross, 45 minutes of pure Mourinho football. Hopefully things pick up in the second half.

He's been useless, he has every right to criticise him.

Ref basically took the captains aside and said next foul gets it.

Pure scutter so far, good tactical performance from Man Utd but it's been like watching paint dry.

So many players have contributed absolutely nothing.

Yes, but I assume Pool and United fans are not enjoying it either. Terrible game.

Mr.Nice Guy

If it stays this way, the only ones happy will be the mods. :pac:

Slattsy

Awful game
Awful atmosphere

Klopp needs to change things up as i've no idea what crap he was trying to get them to play for that 45 mins.

A half fit Lallana is surely a better option that a lazy Sturridge.

What a stupid post.

Sturridge has not put a foot wrong and is being marked out of the game. Not receiving good service either as Utd are keeping it very tight with their back seven.

How many Astro turf games were called off for this rubbish tonight?

Tusky

Liverpool almost look too up for it. Struggling to string simple passes together. United shaded the opening 20 minutes or so but Liverpool were slightly better towards the second part of the half. Both teams have been poor though.

Oh really.

What have Mane, Firmino or Coutinho done?

SFA.

Brilliant by the referee.

That was barely a foul. Herrera is some man for that sort of shít.

Young had no business there.

Bailly was obviously booked because a lot of Utd's fouling was ridiculously cynical. I think Bailly was unlucky that he was the guy, but it was basically a team booking.

Liverpool marginally the better team despite what the commentators are telling you. Utd are solid, but that's not difficult with a back 6 with 2 DMs. They've shown zero ambition. But they haven't had to for most of the half as Liverpool were so useless in possession.

José's game plan is going as he'd like it to. Utd all set to nick it with a goal from a corner.

Andersonisgod

Really poor quality. Liverpool lacking confidence and composure to play. Man Utd not trying, and probably unable, to play.

Those wondering why Man Utd have 2 bookings, it's called tactical fouling and it's one of the main features of every Mourinho team in a big game. A stronger ref would have booked a Man Utd player far earlier than afyer 41 minutes.

There were more highlights in the FIFA 17 ad than the entire first half.

Korat

The ref is clearly biased against Utd, must be a City fan.

I heard Tyler cry when Young got booked.

Time to write a letter. ...

Rayne Wooney

I like the narrative developing that Jose is causing this.

Liverpool have been absolutely dire

Man Utd not trying???

As a neutral can I just say that this is a terrible game of football so far.

Speaking as a neutral that half of football has made me reverse my neutral position. I now hate Liverpool and Manchester United.

I thought his comment at the end there about Liverpool having a lot of work to do also humorous. You'd swear they were going in at a deficit.

So you're angry with someone for criticising a player, so your solution is to criticise three more who haven't been as bad as him?

He's not causing it. He's simply daring Liverpool to pick a hole in the defence and they can't.

murpho999

Utd have been pressing hard, but I'm surpised at some of Liverpool's passing. Often playing direct to a team mate's feed causing them to check and re-position instead of playing the ball into space in front of them to run on to.

Korat

It's a good thing the PL is "the most competitive league in the world" (lol) because the standard of football is utter crap.

Liverpool attacked more as half wore on.

Utd have not been very creative though.
