Matip not playing is a massive loss, tilts the game in United's favour, hopefully we can overcome this, but, definitely up against it now

Shaqiri..seriously can't believe he's in. That is shocking.

Why so, when he's not in we're complaining , and now he's in and its shocking. He's looking very sharp, and super fit and confident. He's in a free role, will be expected to work though, but he's in a safe enough area to be effective, but not counter productive to the cause.

Did Alli not fail a medical with us before joining Spurs year's ago?

Thought there was an issue with a valve in his heart or was that all b*llox?

Don't think so. The story I always heard was we were given first refusal cos his manager was a scouser and fan, we met him, sold him on the club but then decided he was too expensive.

That was Loic Remy.

Liverpool were interested in signing Dele Alli from MK Dons and Alli grew up a Liverpool fan. Apparently the transfer broke down over wages as Liverpool had a somewhat strict wage gap for young players and Spurs swooped in.

Could have been at the same time. My mind is on other things!

I thought Gerrard was supposed to meet him but he skipped the meeting for a nap, and that put Alli off.

Anyway I never liked the cut of him, wouldnt like to see him at anfield.

Edit; not exactly what I said but a few other papers read between the lines obviously. https://www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/dele-alli-steven-gerrard-slept-12336477

Gerrard didn't get out of bed to meet him on a visit and he felt snubbed by his hero and picked Spurs instead.

We are allowing our injury crisis at centre back become a crisis in central midfield by not buying a defender. We needed one before the injuries, we probably need two now. Our two most influential centre mids last season are playing CB - nuts.

Ken Tucky · 17-01-2021 5:21pm

Agree with the defender situation causing problems in midfield...
But what can you do. These are the players that are available. And if you're gonna lose then fire all the bullets you can.
Think that's what we will see from now till the end of the season...it will be some ride

prettyboy81 · 17-01-2021 5:22pm

Don’t give two shats on how we play...just beat them & 3pts.

niallo27 · 17-01-2021 5:22pm

This is has been the longest wait for a match I remember in a long long time. This day is dragging.

Osmosis Jones · 17-01-2021 5:24pm

Btw this is literally Thiago's first Anfield start :eek:

EDIT: First Anfield appearance in general actually!

Utopia Parkway · 17-01-2021 5:24pm

Not much height in that Liverpool side. And United have a few very tall players so hopefully that doesn’t cost us at set-pieces.

facehugger99 · 17-01-2021 5:25pm

Jesus. Sky come back from an ad to go to another ad.

KevRossi · 17-01-2021 5:27pm

Shaq links up well with Thiago, so I think it's a good pick. Attack minded either way. I expect Milner will come on at some stage to take over from TAA or let Henderson move upfield. It's an option that we can keep open.

Mr.Crinklewood · 17-01-2021 5:28pm

@Niallo

Would you like a custard cream?

Enzokk · 17-01-2021 5:29pm

Yes, Martin Tyler on commentating duties!!:rolleyes:

Noticed that a while ago, it's getting ridiculous, they'll be squeezing them in when subs are being made next.

Set pieces have been disastrous lately anyway, can’t even beat the first man or else consistently take short corners

citytillidie · 17-01-2021 5:31pm

All these sound options I wish there was one for no commentary

machiavellianme · 17-01-2021 5:32pm

Is there some special arrangement that Martin Tyler comments on every Liverpool game? It'd be great to have a break from him once in a while.

citytillidie · 17-01-2021 5:35pm

United time wasting already

machiavellianme · 17-01-2021 5:38pm

Bobby stealing it from Thiago set Utd up there. Needs to be more aware.

retalivity · 17-01-2021 5:39pm

Tyler getting his digs in early

Blanco100 · 17-01-2021 5:41pm

Want to see that McTominay tackle again he left the foot in for sure

machiavellianme · 17-01-2021 5:41pm

Hendo not as effective from the back.

yourdeadwright · 17-01-2021 5:43pm

Firmino a couple of easy missed placed passes already

super_furry · 17-01-2021 5:43pm

Unlucky Thiago. He's the one that looks like making something happen today.

ShamoBuc · 17-01-2021 5:43pm

Love the way Thiago went around Fred so easily.

machiavellianme · 17-01-2021 5:43pm

Thiago is something else

retalivity · 17-01-2021 5:43pm

Bobby a few loose touches already

yourdeadwright · 17-01-2021 5:45pm

Firmino come on man

happyoutscan · 17-01-2021 5:45pm

Bobby is starting to annoy me.

Utopia Parkway · 17-01-2021 5:46pm

Lots of possession. Not a whole lot else happening yet.

awec · 17-01-2021 5:48pm

Firmino doing my head in.

happyoutscan · 17-01-2021 5:48pm

Great ball.

machiavellianme · 17-01-2021 5:48pm

6 Utd players plus de Gea in the box every time Salah gets the ball

super_furry · 17-01-2021 5:48pm

Have to do better there Bobby.

Utopia Parkway · 17-01-2021 5:48pm

Robbo in acres of space if Bobby spotted him.

BorneTobyWilde · 17-01-2021 5:48pm

Firmino in a bad angle to shoot, the pass was on .

shanec1928 · 17-01-2021 5:48pm

Need to stop trying to walk it in.

awec · 17-01-2021 5:48pm

And he cuts onto his left every time. His outside to in runs are very predictable.

mightyreds · 17-01-2021 5:49pm

Jesus tore them apart and Bobby wastes it

machiavellianme · 17-01-2021 5:50pm

Throw on Minamino for Bobby. He can't be any worse.

Podge2k7 · 17-01-2021 5:50pm

So wasteful from bobby there

citytillidie · 17-01-2021 5:51pm

TAA was booked for taking a quicker throw in than any of United ones so far in a game V Chelsea

Muahahaha · 17-01-2021 5:52pm

Very clever of Robbo gong inside and passing to Shaq, nearly worked too

machiavellianme · 17-01-2021 5:52pm

Unlucky Shaq

mightyreds · 17-01-2021 5:52pm

Gini the odd one out in front of goal all slows up when he gets it.

murpho999 · 17-01-2021 5:52pm

Amazed how dominant we are on the ball. Great way to protect the centre backs.
United seem to have a back 6 playing.

Pepp1989 · 17-01-2021 5:53pm

Gini and Bobby are taking way too many touches on the ball.

TAA wasteful. Bobby wasteful. Robbo wasteful. Thiago good touches but then wasteful.

Hopefully they can sort it when on top. United dangerous on counter.
