Generally we've been at our best when facing lower league opposition, like your West Broms and Uniteds, so our improvement has to come in the big games.
I don't even remember the last time you beat United.
Ramsey winner a few seasons ago, I think.
They have only recently become lower half of the table opposition, it will come.

Has anyone ever tried to create a squad out of the players that 'Arry was ever interested in buying?

We're both full to the brim with players in the defensive unit who are liable to make at least 1 shit decision per game which leads to a clear chance. Well, we're a little worse in that aspect since our keeper flaps at at least 1 cross per game, or comes off/stays on his line in the wrong moments, and Gerrard can always be relied on to balls things up

Damning statistics.
I wonder if United will stick by their manager this time around?
Wait what?!

I worry for Rodgers, I really do. If ever a team has needed a good transfer window to sort things out, it's us in January. WIth that record though, I've no faith whatsoever that we'll sign the players required.
And the transfer committee isn't that much of an excuse given that he has final say, and FSG backed down on their insistence that he should work under a DoF, giving him more transfer power than they'd have initially liked.
Should have bought Sanchez instead of Lallana, and given him the Markovic money in wages. Simple.
Am I being a fuckwit in thinking Rossiter should start against Madrid? These fucks need to be shown that their place in the team is not guaranteed, and consistently poor performances will be punished.

I think the real thing to take away from this is not about the quality of Moyes or Van Gaal, but rather the quality of the United squad as a whole.

It's actually about ethics in games journalism.

Breathtaking new lows.

Weren't there rumours that Rodgers didn't want Sturridge, the only highlight on that list.

Think he's said himself that Sturridge wasn't his target but he greenlit it since it was him or nobody pretty much. I've never read the quotes myself though, so could have been bollocks
The guy's by far our best player, absolutely desperate for him to come back. All that money spent, still reliant on one player :s
Go get Shaqiri on loan in Jan. FInd a DM to sit in front of the back four. Only play Balo in a two up top. Throw Allen away in a skip. Rest Sterling.

i'd press f because otherwise i'd feel bad.

"with the club seemingly heading for the Champions League"
The CL saved Chelsea. Hazard would have went to City.
Can you imagine Hazard with Silva and Aguero? Fucking hell.
Need another January window like 2013. Can't see the club splashing out on any big signings.
And I agree that poor performers should be dropped, but there's no guarantee that Rossiter or any of our other midfield players will be any better. At least it might give some players a kick up the arse I suppose.
Dear God.

Do Red Bull have a reputation for making loads of promises before their takeovers, then doing the bare minimum to advertise their brand and keep the team in whichever league they're in, with no interest in actually improving them?

To drop the poor performers, they have to be replaced by the likes of Rossiter though. Otherwise, we're just replacing them with other poor performers.

Could have been you too. But it was #destiny #writteninthestars #itwasdidierdrogba
At some point, you can't really blame the personal (well you can but), it's clearly something more than that at Liverpool. It's at the point where you could have Bosscielny and Mertesacker as your CB pairing and still look awful at the back.
It reminds me of Arsenal a few years ago.
You need a Steve Bould.
Ryan Mason made 5 tackles today, Capoue just 1. He is our biggest problem right now, his laziness in the middle and his complete lack of aggression leave our defense too exposed and it sets the tone for the rest of the team. Surely after that shite he served up Dembele or Stambouli have to take his place.

Why would anyone pay for CoD.
Oh yeah, you didn't
Sure didn't. I didn't capture that screenshot either, you can tell by the compression and low resolution.
