General Premier League Thread 2023-24 Mod Note in op 27/6/23 And 21/05/24

Liverpool are very good at change creation. Man Utd give up a lot of shots to their opposition. On paper, that would suggest one way traffic for todays game. But we all know that is not how it plays out. I think it will be difficult for Liverpool, and mainly because of the old Trafford crowd. They get up for these type of games and can carry the team. That game & mctominay goal vs man City stand out to me. All the expectation is on Liverpool to win.

Let's hope for a fair game and no talk about referees.

Definitely, just with a different winner this time!

No, a draw will be fine. I think us neutrals all want Arsenal to win the league, the best of a bad lot.

I think I just heard on commentary there that there's 11 different nationalities in the Liverpool starting 11. So let's see:

62 C Kelleher - Republic of Ireland

84 C Bradley - Northern Ireland

78 J Quansah - England

4 V van Dijk (c) - Netherlands

26 A Robertson - Scotland

8 D Szoboszlai - Hungary

3 W Endo - Japan

10 A Mac Allister - Argentina

11 M Salah - Egypt

9 D Núñez - Uruguay

7 L Díaz - Colombia

The 11 nationalities XI played a game or two a few months ago so not the first time this season. Interesting fact all the same and not that common it happens you’d imagine.

Diaz puts Liverpool ahead at the back post with a scissors kick after a headed flick on by Nunez from a corner.

Can we get a shots on goal count here

That's a bad miss by Salah.

Groundhog Day

That was beyond awful from Quansah. Handed United an equaliser on a plate from their 1st shot.

You just knew Liverpool would regret all those misses. United have done nothing all game and that could now sow seeds of doubt.

Another shocking miss, this time by Nunez.

Klopp in the 4th officials ear constantly now it seems.

Liverpool look like they just need one final ball to go right for them then they'll romp away with it.

good call from Klopp to take Szbozlai off. He’s having a really poor game, making the wrong call all day.

There's no justice in this world.

Anyway, Liverpool have themselves to blame. And it's not just this game where they haven't been clinical enough.

Very harsh yellow considering there was zero contact with the player.

Onana should get that out for a corner.

United are very wasteful in bringing the ball out. Almost consistently going back to Liverpool before the second pass is completed. They can't hold the lead inviting pressure like that

Has to be a penalty and is. Silly from Wan Bissaka. Good play from Liverpool though.

I wouldn't let Salah take this.

Edit: Fair play, he scored it though.

Salah hasn't been good enough.

Diaz, what might have been.

Hugs all round. Defintely thought they only had to show up
