KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum Confirmed Team for Man U & Match Thread

No surprise but we were completely outplayed. I would bring on Sturridge (to play in the middle) for Sterling and play Saurez on the left. Didn't expect much from the game and nothing changed.

+1

only positive is its not 3 down . But if united are true to form they we will come out and blitz liverpool 2nd half.

No problem with sturridge starting on bench BUT sterling predictably is regressing a little and downing rarely does anything to take the game to the oppostion.

That is not the problem though allen and gerard in same team doesnt work. Maybe its just having allen that doesnt work. Shockingly bad performance by him. Absolutley shockingly bad. He looked better when he was nearer their goal .

Henderson coming on for allen might change things. And sturridge on for either downing or sterling doesnt matter which.

tbh you could pick names out of a hat for substitutions. dreadful performance. we are not attacking but we are not packing the defence either. we look terrified. if utd start finding the net this could end up being an historic drubbing.

time for BR to show some of his tactical genius hes supposed to have.

that was a terrible half for us. good job there not being too clinical with there finishes or we'd be buried by now

The 3 issues that I've noticed during the first half are:

1) Our positioning is way out, every time a ball falls, it falls to a united player and the basically run through midfield because there isn't a soul there.

2) We just keep giving it away. I think it might be a good idea to take Allen of because he just isn't aggressive enough.

3) We have no fight, we're waiting for the ball to come to us, while the United players will just go and get it and it's working.

If Rodgers can sort this out, then we can come back and be in this.

At the moment we dnt deserve anything from this game. Why are we so scared?. The whole team is playing s#@&*t

Im saying hendo on at HT for allen and maybe sturridge on around 60 mins. Still positive

Allen off, Sturridge on. Put Suarez in the pocket and Sturridge up top.

Yeah agree Flames. There is no fight from the players no desire! Difference is their defenders dont make mistakes whilst ours are littered! Players falling over themselves and downright dreadful!
