KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum The mancs priority

I agree that they will be pumped up for the game against us. They do have a better group of players now then they did a last season but they do not have a a better team. They don't seem to have a team at all. They have a group of selfish lazy individuals imo and a sh1t manager.

Indeed!

Instead of hiding, I now actively hunt down manc supporters.

Be lovely to kick them while they're down by smashing them 5-0 at OT.

Just because of their whole superiority complex, I think they might actually give him until the end of the season. It being a world cup year, I think they'd be in for a rough summer with a new manager. Another bad season and they're finished.

There was a discussion in the shoutbox about United playing us and then Olympiakos within the space of a few days and what they would prioritize. I just want to sa that they will definately see the game against us as a priority. It became clear during the transfer window that they did not see the cl as a priority. Buying Mata, a cup tied player for 35 mil spoke volumes about their priorities. They are also fully aware that they don't stand a chance in the cl.

The recent comments from Moyes claiming they are going for the trophy in the CL are just an attempt to shift the emphasis from their league efforts and remove the pressure. I fully expect them to come at us with everything they have and wouldn't be surprised to see them win that game. I expect we will play for the draw on the counter attack, trying to keep the points gap the same as it is prior to the game.

Make no mistake though, united will focus on the match against us and make it a priority.

What do you mean they are finished? Commercially and infrastructure wise they are way ahead of us, one more bad season is not going to bridge much of the gap. They can change manager, buy a full team and will be still wealthier than us, so don't fool yourself. The only concern for them is that the Gladzers bought them on leveraged debt and right now they have more debt than us.

Let me re-phrase. If they have another season like this, I think their brand will tank. Many key players are already leaving, and they've spent 60 million with little result, and they're already losing one year of CL revenue. They have a lot of debt, and their brand is built on one thing: success. Five or six years ago, we were everyone's second club. We fell very hard, very fast. Our fall in the 90s was harder and faster, and we were as big or bigger than them.
