We probably gave them little respect, always wanted to play on front foot for the crowd. We'd be tighter against Chelsea.

So it's coached? Between the lines and no square ball 'cos counter is a prob?
Stats probably have us top tier so I'm not going to call us wasteful...so lacking composure or too predictable.

TL/DR Greedy

Instinct the front three play off it and that is something that can't be coached, The coaching part is the midfield that covers the ground to let them play their own games.

Really happy we had a so-called easy game to start at home.

Gives mane an extra week.

Fingers crossed for Allison.

Next two are much tougher.

Because they're less worried about a counter. :pac:

He didn’t though, Origi set up one and scored one, and did a lot of the things Mane does - who also always cuts in on his right... it’s just what our wide forwards do, with the right footer coming in from the left, and the lefty coming in from the right... the fullbacks are there for swinging balls in.

Origi was also always in the right places. Look at Salah’s goal - if he doesn’t go for a difficult chance, Origi has checked his run and gotten free for an easy tap in if Salah had passed. Was in a great position for an easy shot minutes before if Salah had passed instead of running into trouble then too, and he was also the one in the right spot to score for that chance that Bob took off him while trying to contort into an unlikely shooting position. Origi was actually pretty perfect as a wide forward today.

I'd love to be a rb up against origi, he does the same thing 90% of the time with the ball, runs towards byline stops checks right lays ball off

Cross for first goal was left foot outside.

Nice win. Allison injury aside it was as good as hope for.

And yet i cant remember a single one of his passes inside getting blocked by the fullback. He put in a tonne of dangerous balls tonight.

(you're also describing what Mane does too... speeds in, and then either plays a low ball in with his left, or fare more often checks onto his right. Also the same thing Salah does. its how we play.)

Just seems you're being unduly harsh on the lad who was our most effective player tonight.

Big divock is too nice,I'd love to see him play angry,can't fault his efforts anyway.

Have a feeling we won’t see Allisson till after the international break. Fingers crossed.

Great start to the weekend Friday night 4-1, onto Hill 16 today Yup The Dubs!!!

yes we need to retroactively right all wrongs starting with this. Fantastic double by Liverpool last year. 19-6

Harry Palmr

I liked the fact the Origi cross for the first goal started as a throw in by TAA who chucked the ball inside rather than down the line, it switched play and Divock was suddenly in space.

I guess that explains why most other fans are against VAR.

Wednesday is glorified friendly so the likes of However, Matip, Lovren, Larouci, Milner, Lallana, Keita,
Chamberlain, Shaq and Brewster should be getting game-time. Keita, Shaq and Mane should all be starting given their lack of pre-season preparation.

Don't see it as a glorified friendly,at the end of the day it's a trophy that you can only win after winning either the champions league or europa league,after losing the charity shield it would be nice to win this one

If it was 2 points for a win instead of 3 liverpool would have won the league as well.

67 v 66

Oh and if Liverpool had not sold Sterling to Man City they would have won the league.


And if me auntie had balls she'd be me uncle.

Damn right they should go all out to win this, and the world club cup. Have an extra 2 days rest on chelaea as well, thought they were playing today, not 4.30 on sunday.

Agent Coulson

We should absolutely should be trying to win the European Super Cup and Club World Cup they are the two hardest club competitions in the world to get into and should be treated with as such.

Also the club has never won the Club World Cup that would be a nice addition the the trophy room.


Also by winning both it makes Liverpool the most successful club in England again.

Iused2likebusts

I couldn't care less about the super cup . 3 pts against Southampton next saturday is far more important. That's a really tough game so it would be mad to go full strength against Chelsea in a glorified friendly on wednesday in Istanbul. Is anyone going to look back at the end of the season and go wasnt it great we won the super cup in August. The world club cup is an entirely different matter we will be going all out to win that. It's PL/CL followed by world club cup followed by Fa cup/Carling cup. Super cup and Charity shield are totally meaningless.

Wtf is up with people saying they don't care about the super cup, I'm very confused

Stupid comment alright. These trophies are incredibly hard to win

It's been 14 years since we were last in the European Super Cup and people don't care about it :rolleyes:

Most of us can name the CL and PL winners for the last 10 years. FA cup maybe with a bit of thought. But try naming the winners off the top of your head for the last 5 years of the Super Cup, and maybe the league cup winners for the same period. Nice if we win the Super Cup but instantly forgettable.

gimli2112

We played Bayern in one in 2002 and beat them, it means nothing to me. I actually can't remember who we played in 2006.
It's all about priorities anyway, my only concern with it is an unnecessary injury. People are welcome to want to win it but it's not important, to me.

Harry Palmr

Super Cup is a nothing event, you get no kudos for it, it contributes to nothing tangible. Send the kids and insult both Chelsea and UEFA.

MD1990

We have won 1 trophy in the last 7 years.

And we have posters who want a 2nd string in the Super Cup final. I understand a 2nd string in the League Cup & FA Cup. But a one off final. Bizarre stuff.

Agent Coulson

The club is considering taking Lonergan in on a short term contract.

Milner, Lovren, Matip, Lallana, Keita, Ox, Shaq, Mane are all first teamers. All should start Wednesday night

Precisely. A trophy is a trophy. Particularly one with pan European exposure. Winning things makes potential sponsors take note. Sponsors bring cash, cash brings better players, better players bring goals, goals bring wins...

Recognising that and pushing the envelope under a great manager made Utd one of the top clubs in the world after being on the outside for a while. We need to make our successes count now.

Sky now posting match highlights on YouTube and more surprising is they are not Geo blocked.

Winning the sponsor Cup eh? I thought that's what the Champions League was.

The Super Cup is European footballs equivalent of the charity shield, the official opening of the European football season. a glorified friendly. Of course I'd like us to win it, but if we don't win, I couldn't care less and it will be forgotten about by the weekend (if not later on Wednesday night).

It should be used to give more game time to those still short on match fitness (Mané), and those who didn't start last night and are unlikely to start next weekend.

Also a good opportunity for Adrian to get 90 minutes under his belt in a no pressure game.

Who here would be delighted to win the Super Cup but in return lose VVD, Salah, Gini or TAA/AR to injury?

Really? two minutes of goals rather than 6-7 minutes of tactical analysis? :pac:

The Premier League itself should have the rights to a highlights package, the way they hand everything over to the broadcasters whims is crazy.

I care slightly more about the European Super Cup purely because we qualified by winning one of the cups. The Community Shield didn't matter to me because we were only there as City won both the cups... If we'd won the FA Cup to qualify, I probably would have been more interested!

rob316

It's mad I'm already hoping city drop points today given how good they have been last 2 seasons. Anxiously checking the score of their game.

If we won it and didn't win anything else this season the super cup wouldn't make a difference tbh. Lets say we retained the CL or won a domestic cup, I wouldn't say we won a double either for example. Its nice to win but thats all.

I'd play a strong enough team but we are away to Southampton 3 days and even at this early stage is a must win. Any players with even the slightest fitness concern should be left out, I'd say we'll be fine for both games anyway.

Muahahaha

I think even with resting a few players we should still be beating a Chelsea with a new manager and no Hazard or David Luiz.

I want the trophy because losing to Chelsea always hurts even if it is a glorified friendly.

I'm still not sure how its allowed maybe that's why they are on YouTube and free but seemingly the 3pm games are up at 5:15 according to their YouTube homepage.

The first step towards a legitimate streaming service hopefully.
