You should do your research and find out where the always the victims chant comes from.

I'd ignore those certain united fans and concentrate on having a decent debate/discussion with Liverpool and United fans who aren't acting like twats.

aye true, normally if I bring up gloryhunting it scares off those kinds of posters, or they over-compensate

As far as the match is concerned, once again I though Rooney looked quite weak when he was brought on. He fluffed 2 chances, albeit 1 was offside. Liverpool looked reasonably comfortable but sometimes they can be sloppy as hell, I always get that feeling that there is something in the post for them mistakes wise. It was kind of a rough game, neither team really playing to their potential so yeah, a draw seems fair. both teams will have to do a lot better if they are to catch Chelsea and Spurs

Such a pile of sanctimonious sh**e.

I can't speak for the other poster, maybe they are making sly references to the tragedy and my naivety means I'm missing them, if so I retract my post defending them.

I've only been in Old Trafford once and it was a European game so my knowledge of chants etc. is non existent but I was making absolutely no reference to Hillsborough. People who use that, Munich or any similar tragedy to score points over football have no place in the game.

On the game . Pretty meh but overall 2 points dropped by Liverpool.

The tragedy discussion is definitely the Godwin of the soccer forum.

This is not a thread for discussing an endless back and forth on this or debating what poster(s) were or were not referring to. Discuss the match in this thread while it is still alive.

Any further similar comments face red cards and bans where necessary.

Disappointing result in the end. Liverpool need to be winning games against teams like utd if they want to win the league. Look what Chelsea did to them.

Dwarf.Shortage

On balance probably fair result, stats suggest Pool hard done by yet Mignolet man of the match.

In the context of the game in a vacuum it's a much better result for Liverpool. However in the context of the season UTD have more room for error as realistically we're out of the title race and don't need to be perfect. On the other hand today put a big dent in Liverpools title hopes, much bigger than the dent it put in UTD's designs on the top four.

Pogba extremely disappointing but nobody who watches our games every week will be worried.

There's some amount of posters still needing a win at any cost, here. Jaysus.

I'm happy with how Liverpool played. I genuinely feel we'd have won that with Matip and/or Mane, but I'd have taken 1-1 before the game after seeing our team sheet.

Game was made for Mane in the 2nd half. How many chances would he have got on the end of on the counter? Certainly a couple at least.

We would have won it if we had Pogba. Really missed him today.

Me too. All of Liverpool's players put in a great shift. A point at Old Trafford is a great point. 10 of the remaining 17 games at home, so nicely tucked in in joint 2nd now.

Deluded if you think a draw away at Old Trafford puts a big dent in our title hopes. It's January bud not May.
Pogba has to be the biggest waste of money in football. Probably the worst player on the pitch today.

It's more Mane and Coutinho being out at the same time that's the killer. Seeing how he played in the second half gave a lot to feel confident about though, doing things Origi just couldn't do.

Easily the worst player on the pitch today but thankfully careers are not judged on one game.

9 points behind before the game and they are in flying form with Hull up next.

You don't have these points to be dropping.

I'll refer you to eigrods post above. We have ten of our remaining 17 games at home. Costa throwing a wobbler will definitely affect Chelseas title hopes as well. United's greatest achievement so far this season is trying to put a "dent in our title hopes". Kinda sad for a club that has the most expensive squad ever assembled and the most expensive player ever.

Chelsea Spurs and Arsenal are all +2 on you this weekend and you have to catch them all to win the title.

You can make as many snipes at UTD and Pogba as you like my core point stands that you don't have these points to be dropping if you genuinely want to win the league.

We are second and seven points behind a club that are in turmoil which only looks like worsening with a lot of tough games out of the way. I think we are nicely placed and if I was you I'd be more worried about securing a champions league place which should be the bare minimum required for such an expensive squad than bothering yourself about Liverpool's title race.

Re Pogba...

Nothing against the lad personally, but I really hate what he stands for. He's a marketing tool, pure and simple. All this ****e with PP (Paddy Power??) in his hair, hash tags, Emoji on the billboards.... all smoke and mirrors to hide the fact that he's not really that good. A big strong lad, but only flits in and out of games with little product.

Ronaldo has/had a lot of this BS around him, but he delivered on the field

You are third.

Turmoil? You're aware they won 3-0 away at the weekend and have Hull up next? The entire Costa thing could be tabloid rubbish and has had no discernible affect on the rest of the team.

And I am worried about United qualifying for the Champions League but that doesn't make my point about Liverpool any less true. Thankfully I have the mental capacity to consider Liverpool and UTD's situations simultaneously, I don't have to block out your struggles to think about ours.

Paddy Power. :pac: PP is his name.

Star striker who fired ye to the top of the table wants away and has major falling out with manager? Yes a club in turmoil. Don't let a win against a piss poor Leicester team yesterday gloss over the fact that when ye need Costas goals against tougher teams down the road he more than likely won't be around.

Johner wrote: »

Ah here, I'm taking the piss lad, but it's not his name, it's his initials, or part of the 'brand'.

As is said, nothing against him personally, he's probably a nice lad, and good to his mammy, but more a commentary on the BS around modern sports and what's seen as important and makes a player great.

I actually enjoy being insulted towards the end of a debate, always a good indicator they've nothing to say against the points that you've made.

Some amount of whinging and bitching about the ref by the pool fans. Home teams tend to get the decisions when it comes to the 50/50's.

Fair play to him for spotting the handball. Didn't even see any players appeal for it even though it was so obvious on replay.

.

Did you not watch the half time analysis? 5/6 players looked for it to be a peno. Don't believe everything out of Gary Neville's mouth!

Pogba was poor today no doubt. But the 'waste of money' comments make me laugh. He's been exceptional most season long. The point scoring here by rival fans makes me realise why I tend to avoid these match threads. Football knowledge isn't needed when there's a chance to get the petty digs in.
