Sterling is so good.

Yep, really thought he'd reached his level last season and didn't really think he'd push on and improve enough to be part of our first team squad, but I've been constantly impressed with him this year. I really like the work he puts in defensively as well.

Impossible. They would look so stupid and Pool won't sell. Losing Suarez & Sturridge in the same window would be.. Lol

Considering what's going on with the rich clubs right now, who'd be buying Suarez at the price he's going to cost? I think he signed that contract for a reason.

Maybe Sterling is in better form than Valencia, but the strikers are of very similar quality. And we know that Mata is world class. United should be scoring goals for fun. But there's the feeling amongst United fans that we just can't do that.

united aren't scoring goals for fun because the shape of the entire team is fucked.

and rvp + rooney + mata is ten times better than what liverpool have.

When I watch United there's no fluidity.

They're all looking up, trying to work out where there team mates are, thereby taking 2 seconds extra to make a pass, which potentially kills an attacking move. It's just total positional disarray. Then they realise any attacking advantage we had died because they had no idea where their team mate was. Then they pass it to the wing.

It's like Moyes and the coaches don't train them on attacking systems at all and just say "go out there and attack yeah?".

If we win, and City win tomorrow, we'll be 1 point behind Chelsea.

Right now we are 4 points ahead of Everton and 9 ahead of Utd.

we look really solid, happy with the performance so far

Right dull match though. Hope WBA tire a bit in the second half because right now they are very organized in defence. Offering nothing in attack and giving little chance for counters. You'd think they were still playing for a draw.
 
Almost feels like we're preparing for Arsenal by leaving Gerrard so far back and restrained. Coutinho's passing% must be less than 50, Sterling, Sturridge and Cissokho playing well, need more from the others. This is how Everton played, comfortable without really creating much, 1-0 up and breezing through the game, next thing Lugano had scored and they dropped points.

Didn't enjoy that 3 minute period where Toure airkicked a sitter, then twice tried running through CM and gave the ball away, giving them a counterattack oppurtunity with him out of position.


Nice goal, clever play by Coutinho, Sterling and Suarez, nice timing by Studge. Surprised the linesman didn't call offside ust to be on the safe side, as they are wont to do these days
 
Liverpool's front line play the way United's should. In terms of individual quality we're a match for theirs if not even better.

Don't do this to yourself.

Valencia has always been shit.
 
Don't like how we're not able to cut through West Brom. Having said that they don't have anything up front and their defense is so deep that there's lots of space in midfield. Liverpool need to up the tempo and dominate the ball more.

Liverpool are leading without really getting into top gear. Coutinho's having an off game, bring Allen on in his place to make us harder to break dowm.

I'd happily have this score at the final whistle, all three points and a clean sheet.
