JFK-1 1,677 Posted October 17, 2016 Share Posted October 17, 2016 First half has been nothing like the fireworks expected from this game and has in fact been a bit of a bore fest. If it continues like this it could very well be a draw and a dull one at that. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott7 5,255 Posted October 17, 2016 Share Posted October 17, 2016 I think you've covered all the options there but in fact you're right. A draw it won't be. Ahem......... 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bearman 9 Posted October 18, 2016 Share Posted October 18, 2016 SkySports said this 'Red Monday' would be brilliant! They would considering how much it costs. Looking forward the 'Old Firm'...still the greatest game in world football. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rousseau 9,508 Posted October 18, 2016 Share Posted October 18, 2016 I thought it was brilliant! Fascinating tactical battle. Mourinho nullifies Liverpool's press effectively for the first time I've seen from anyone this season. The compact 4-4-2 was brilliantly executed to stop Liverpool playing out. Some of the passing combinations from Man Utd were awesome and the tackles were fantasitic. Liverpool couldn't counter-press because Man Utd didn't recycle the ball in the middle of the park, basically removing their most potent threat. Liverpool started to dominate once Man Utd started to sit deeper. Man Utd were poor on the counter though -- it's one thing they'll need to improve on if they want to finish in the top 4. I'm always frustrated at the number of people that slate a game that is not an end-to-end goal-fest. IMO, if it is an end-to-end goal-fest then the teams are doing something wrong. Some on twitter were admitting that they are not really football fans per se, but [insert team] fans instead. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
boabie 230 Posted October 18, 2016 Share Posted October 18, 2016 What a waste of 90odd.minutes of my life i will never get back I turned over to watch the highlights last night. They seemed to last about 5 minutes so it couldn't have been much of a game. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gribz 743 Posted October 18, 2016 Author Share Posted October 18, 2016 (edited) Man Utd fans must be wondering why they are going to Anfield and shutting up shop, Sir Alex wouldn't have done that in a million years. Chelsea away next weekend for Man Utd, wonder if Mourinho will do the same and play for a draw. If they don't get 3 points but Arsenal and Man City beat Middlesboro and West Brom respectively the gap will be about 7 points. Man U should be playing better they have talent in abundance. Schneiderlin, Herrera, Schweinsteiger, Pogba, Carrick, Young, Mata, Mkhitaryan, Rashford, Martial, Zlatan, Rooney.....they should be finding a better formula with that list.

Ser Barristan Selmy 222 Posted October 18, 2016 Share Posted October 18, 2016 One of the most boring games of football I've seen in a long time. Predictably so. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SAF played defensively in big games all the time. Certainly European ones anyway. The attacking style was usually against weaker opposition.
