I've been laughing for about 10 mins since the game ended.
Who says it will go on for four five years? Utd board have set themselves up for third place. We're not getting fifth even. Moyes is a dead man walking. He'll get the funds this summer.
Two years with the same problem is silly. What's to say the next manager will do better instantaneously?
This, a million times this.
Go get a pint and get ready for the next game, between Arse and Tim Duncan's Spurs

But he did well with a small-ish club, doesn't that automatically make him great?
let him be. trolling so openly is kinda funny.
What a delightful result from a fairly tepid performance. As I said earlier, seemed like the 2 teams were pretty evenly matched for most of the game, with the difference being the terrible individual errors of Utd's defence. Liverpool were far more composed at the back, which was nice to see.
Henderson was MotM for me, an incorrigible presence in the middle and a good linkup going forward. Made loads of great runs as well, but never got the ball. Suarez wasn't at his best, perhaps a bit isolated, whilst Sturridge had one of his worst games in a while, aside from the dive. We saw the selfish Sturridge of old today. Stirling also seemed out of sorts in a tricky role. Aside from the front 3 everyone else did well.

If in most games of Fifa you played you were the better player and had more of the ball and more shots yet you lost most of the time would you 1). Be happy and 2). Think Fifa was a good game?
They still did less but got most of the breaks.
And......?
United is much worse.
IF?!?!
At this point you have to imagine their favourites to go through. They've got a 2 goal lead to defend and didn't concede an away goal. They can just park the bus and look to counter. Get one or two goals and then it all goes tits up for United.
You are a template.
To be fair, he saved us from extinction. But do Man united need a saviour. NO, the need a progressive manager who can take them further.
If people stopped replying to him he'd get bored.

Not even sure tbh, I'm still laughing lol
Why don't you just stop the pretense and switch to supporting whichever club wins the league this season? You'll probably be happier.
Fully expect Olympiakos to draw or win
Why this weird faith in this United team? I understand the Fergie era where they had a aura that they could win any game if everything clicked
They have played shit game after shit game.
Its like the Zidanes and Pavons era Real Madrid where, fans uexplicably expected them to become great just like that, they never did, they were shit for years.

Why would you want to take a picture when they just conceded a goal? Must be a tourist taking in the game surely.
Almost the perfect game, damn shame Gerrard missed his last pen, have him in my fantasy team... now he losses points.
So can Liverpool win this title? They are the best team to watch in the league but winning the league requires a certain mental strength.
A secret agent if there ever was one.

have some faith, Usho. Jesus lit a fire under Tactics Tim.
DDG - faultless as always. One exquisite save, could do nothing about any of the goals.
Rafael - first half he was very good but over the entire match extremely lucky to stay on the pitch.
Jones - good first half, didn't do enough in the second half to quell attacks.
Vidic - shit. Signed for another club mid season. He can fuck off now for all I care.
Evra - the same as he has been for around four years now; fucks around the pitch doing absolutely nothing. No awareness or discernible level of care. Fuck him too.
Adnan - very quiet first half, dangerous in the second and unlucky to get subbed because of Rooney's ego.
Carrick - did the best he could with no protection from anyone around him save his partner.
Fellaini - our best player all things considered. Adds presence we didn't have anywhere else.
Mata - extremely quiet. Needs to be moved infield, because we're putting square pegs into round holes when you're considering his position, the position of players around him and our tactics.
Rooney - one of the worst performances I've ever seen from a player. So tactically inept, stomping around in every single bit of space allowed to his team mates. An abhorrent passing rate, lazy and spends more time fucking moaning at the referee than doing anything pertinent. Fuck him.
RVP - totally isolated and when chances did come to him he seemed switched off.

I don't know what to say to United fans who want Moyes to be fired.
On one hand I completely sympathize because of how disgraceful we were under Roy Hodgson, and how firing him was the first step toward improving our club, which I think its fair to say is doing quite well at the moment.
On the other hand - is David Moyes as bad as Roy Hodgson?
We fired Hodgson, but the most important improvement from letting him go was that we completely changed the playing personnel. Konchesky stopped playing and Poulsen stopped playing, and we got Luis Suarez. Then we still didn't improve significantly until January 2013, when we caught a wave that we've been riding ever since.
If you fired Moyes and brought in another manager, what do you realistically expect to happen? The 11 players you put out today could reasonably be considered your best 11. Players don't just suddenly forget how to play football.
I think the problem is that you've had holes in your squad for a while now, but Ferguson managed to keep things glued together. Now that his presence is gone, things are starting to fall apart. The problem is more that Ferguson is gone than that Moyes is here.
But in the end I have to look at Rodgers' team. We have one single player who would start for every team in the world in Luis Suarez. This is nearly the same team that finished 8th and 7th over the last two seasons. Yet because of Rodgers' tactics and coaching, we're scoring goals by the truck load and playing fluid football.
I guess the question comes down to: can United find a manager who can be like Rodgers, repair a broken dressing room and get them tactically on the right page?

Saw the lineup, but just seen the result. Waaahhh?!
Just ignore him, you silly cunt. In less than 30mins you can laugh at Boycie "4-4-2" Sherwood getting shamed like bukkake.
Exactly.
