Thought Sanchez was relatively Poor the other night

Could you imagine the chaos if Jose lost to the bottom team in the league and then got bundled out of the FA Cup in the forth round (for the third year running) while playing his shines new 75m central defender up front? We drew a few games over Xmas p, stayed second, and the press had him off to PSG....

Will be interesting to listen to off the ball and see if Klopp gets a tiny bit of the criticism that Jose has gotten the last month.

Am assist and was integral to another goal. On his debut. Whilst being kicked up and down the pitch.

Thought he did well. Ran with ball often and passing was good at times after a hectic week for him.

Thought Rashford wasn't great. Overran ball quite a bit and had chances to pull trigger in box a couple of times it took second touch and lost opportunity. His progress has stagnated a bit, maybe needs a bit of a rest as younger players often do.

Take a draw at Spurs?

Mourinho wud get killed for it but using Sanchez pace on break wouldn't be a bad move.

Draw keeps us 8 pts ahead of 5th with 13 to play.

Nope.

It's fcuking Spurs.

Get yourself on 40 posts per page.

We battered Spurs when they came to OT; they barely had a sniff on goal in the second half, bar the one shot. I'd be hoping we go and take the game to them again.

If we win and move 11 points clear of them in 5th, I'd say thats top 4 wrapped up, and the sooner we can get that done, the better. I know that the CL is an absolute pipe dream, but given the league is gone and top 4 is nearly solidified, we're putting ourselves in a good position to put most of our focus on that.

Relative to him not playing or training for a week or two and involved in a new team with a lot of players who are not actually first team regulars against a lower league team having their cup final on a **** pitch?

Can't see how you could come to any other conclusion other than relatively speaking he did quite well.

He looked off the pace and out of sync at times, misplaced simple passes for sure. He did play relatively well though imho

A lot worse teams than us have won the European Cup. It's a long shot but largely down to the draw and playing well in the three big stand out games. With Jose I wouldn't be surprised to win the whole thing.

Dont understand how people are saying sanchez had a bad game last night.
*2 assist's
*Spread the play between left and right with some great passes
*Tracked back when needed
*Was available as an outlet the whole time he was on
*Kept taking players on
*MotM

Lost possesion maybe a bit but Rashford, Mata and Shaw did as well. He got motm on a absolute ****e pitch with a brand new team and style around him. Thought he accounted himself well on his debut. Were people expecting him to bag 3/4 goals?
If he keeps going the way he's going he'll be a fine player for us. Not much more he could have done imo.
Just for debates sake why do people think he played bad?

Honestly I think lingard should be picked over Alexis, much more promise. His stats are outstanding

I think this post is suitable for the "mind blown gif"

I'm fan of the home grown talent doing their stuff in the jersey but but but wtf..

I think lingard should be picked over rashford..

Lingard, martial and Sanchez leave Jose to sort positions for them.

You might be on to something here I think that would be a masterstroke great idea.

Be good if people gave explanations to their reasonings instead of just posting mindless ****e to be honest. It might not be ****e, but who knows as nothing is expanded upon.

The morning papers.

United to rival City this week for Fred.

Jose to turn down bids from Italy for Darmian.

He'll be shipped in the summer no doubt, i suppose jose just wants the security of having a player to call in to the squad if he's needed

The hyphen would make all the difference....

I was late getting to watch the game. Good performance on the whole considering the tragic state of the pitch and the much changed starting 11.

I thought that Alexis' assist for Herrera's goal was sweet. He received the ball from Mata in midfield and ran towards the box at an angle which strongly suggested that he was going to bring in those few attacking United players on the right.

In the meantime, Herrera was bursting a gut running up the left. Alexis' movement completely took the Yeovil defenders' attention away from Herrera and at the right moment just before Herrera went offside, Alexis no-looked the pass out to the left.

It was only Yeovil (Mata probably wouldn't have won that important ball in midfield against a PL team), but Alexis' vision and execution in the build-up was a snapshot at what he can offer to this team. And this is when he had a 'poor' performance, according to too many observers.

Either way, I wouldn't be getting too excited or too downtrodden about his performance. How long has Alexis been playing with his new team-mates? Would they have even had three training days together before the Yeovil game? He himself hasn't played a match in about 2 weeks.

'Job done' as far as I'm concerned. Sanchez came through his first 70 minutes unscathed despite receiving a few hard challenges, and bagged a well-worked assist.

He could have been wrapped in cotton wool until the Spurs game, but now Alexis has that important first game out of the way, with a win and an assist. I can only imagine that these are positives.

Still in the CL and they tend to actually try against big teams.

Don't tempt fate.

Lads there was a recent thread that ranked managers and the first couple of posts I read had Klopp higher than Jose :pac:

Going past delusion and ending up at batshít crazyville, I would put good money on the guy never winning a major trophy again.

I feel of some use now anyways

Fully expect the Liverpool thread to follow suit with 5 times la la la after it :pac:

Klopp has plenty of United fans going by the worship he got after City result. He'd still be above Jose I'd imagine. Results dont matter for Klopp. Hes cuddly not like mean Jose.
