It's gonna be a long transfer window unless Liverpool come out with a statement saying they aren't selling. If that doesn't happen early, this will drag on again.

That's alright this day will always belong to someone else on Boards.

Certain rags linking us with Lanzini as Coutinhos replacement

SuperTortoise

Don't have a good feeling about the game today, rotation of players + Burnley bus = nil points

I think we should risk a full team to start, keep the presure on city now we have them on the ropes!

A month of speculation ahead.
Print as many as possible, claim credit for the ones that occur, just forget the ones that don't (as they were more than likely made up).

Rumple Stillson

By any chance, are we the 3pm game today on Sky? That's assuming there is one.

No. Brighton v Bournemouth at 12:30, followed by Utd v Everton at 5:30pm. Leeds v Forest in between.
Stream it is.

3 points would be great today. Bound to be tired legs on both sides so could be plenty of mistakes. Tough game though, Burnley are doing well. It'd be a nice new years present to be up to 3rd this evening, could be 6 back though by the same token.

The immovable object and the unstoppable force. Bus v bus.

Saying that it'll probably have a lot of goals.

3 points today would be immense. Last year we played city and then Sunderland in 48 hours and snoozed around the pitch

Not confident of any positive result today

Salah is out for two weeks apparently. Okay he'd have missed this match anyway in all likelihood and maybe Everton as well being a Cup game but he'll be missed against City that's for sure

2 weeks exactly to the city game he might make it yet. Zaha caused City nothing but problems yesterday Salah could do the same. Don't know why but I've a feeling we will beat city at home then obviously drop points the next week.

Grayditch

I'd take a point now if I'm honest.

Utd thread must be stuck for things to talk about when there are suggestions that Lukaku and Rashford would get a game with Liverpool.

Just a bit of fun, for us. Imagine having Lukaku leading the line, nearly as galumphing as banjo-backside Benkete

Lukaku is a decent striker, but they wanted Morata as he's a far better player. No top side in Europe would want Lukaku though, bit of a panic buy. He'll score goals for Utd, but even the fans know he's not good enough for their ambitions.

One poster in particular making himself look an angry twit over there.

Just popped here to see if United fans had moved over to this thread since ye moved into ours. Alas no.


BUT if its any help I can tell ye that you're game is on TodayFM Premier Leage Live! (coverage starts @ 2pm) Be it radio or app. So if you cant get a way to watch it, you can at least listen to it! Happy New Year!

Turtyturd

As bad as our defense is portrayed I wouldn’t have Lukaku in it. Gifted goals to a few teams this season.

Didn't stop the stories in the summer about Coutinho, even after the club insisted he is not for sale. The papers were trying to sell him up to the deadline.

Potential Underachiever

Dodgy game today. Interesting to see how we cope without the main man. I've a feeling Firmino might be rested too. Just getting bad vibes about it, it's being going a little too well the last little while.

Wouldn't take any of their options in our front four.

Strong rumours Phil firminio and salah not starting , mane ,lallana and solanke up top

Milner could go to left back and ox in the middle

Some Liverpool posters seem to be trying to placate them by saying Martial might have a chance...I’d have Origi ahead of him.

It didn’t stop the press, but the club showed that they would not sell. A similar string stance now, early in the window, would settle my mind.

mightyreds

Rashford can't even get in a united team that's starting to falter but he's still "world class"

Martial would do well at Liverpool. He wouldn't be a starter but good backup.

Thought Walker had Zaha in his pocket all game to be honest. In his pocket actually too strong, but he defo won the battle

j8wk2feszrnpao

Just watching Brighton v Bournemouth.
Shane Duffy a step off Cook and he heads in the cross from the corner.
Commentator says nothing the defense could do. It was man marking which always seems to get a pass when a goal is conceded, yet when you concede when you go zonal, it gets blasted as a terrible system.
It’s like Maguire almost been given MOTM despite repeatedly pulling and dragging players, but you go down softly and you’re a cheat.

Zaha got his "breakthrough" when he switched to the right maybe that's what was being referenced

Wouldn't have Lukaku in our front four at the moment of course.

However, still think he is an excellent player who will score incredible amounts of goals.

Same as Origi.

Martial is vastly overrated because of who he plays for.

He is a different type of player and a much better player than Origi.

Ah yeah, surely we agree Martial is more talented than Origi.

Potential Underachiever

Martial miles better than Origi, he would get plenty of games for us, might not be a nailed starter but he's a very good player. Lukaku not a hope would he start, I actually shudder at the thoughts of it tbh, him just lumbering around up top, no hold up play, no link up play, no movement, ugh no thanks. Granted, he has a good goalscoring record and is a decent finisher but I think even most Utd fans are starting to realise they wasted a wedge on him no matter how many he scores he doesn't bring enough to the team.

Mr.H

Jesus what's going on here

Martial and lukaku are both class players. They are. Rashford is a really talented kid who could end up being a sterling that can finish (although sterlings finishing has improved this season).

But none of those players would make it into our first team. None of hem would be considered "klopp players". It's not saying they are or they are not better Ham our players. I'm just saying they are not good enough to be klopp players. Either is Origi for that matter unfortunately.

Yeah the Lukaku abuse is very poor imo. Like the last five years never happened (or even first quarter of this season).

Unless you're wearing blinkers yes.

As per James Pearce, no Salah or Coutinho at Burnley

Agent Coulson

That's it both gone to Spain.


Coutinho to Barca

Salah to Madrid.


£300m to FSG's bank account.

No creativity or No goals either!

Hopefully they do make an appearance!


This is a game we just need to eek out the 3 pts, it's gonna be ugly I think but tough it out and hopefully the squad players can get us a win.
