KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum could put MUFC out of the title race

Considering Man United's form over recent weeks they look too inconsistent to challenge for the league and its quiet ironic coming from a Liverpool supporter but for a team like United to have two losses already and a shockingly bad performance against a bad Stoke side confirms they may not be able to challenge even top 4 !!

Mourinho will have a game plan against our defence, just as he did in our title losing game. If we can take our chances early then we'll have a big chance of winning, they will wait for us on counter attacks and set pieces.

Yes that's how I see it too, Maureen will try to draw us on to a packed defence and hope to hit us on the break. He will also have his players dropping like fly's in our third every time one of our players get within a foot of them, as he'll see our defence as being vulnerable to their height advantage around the box. Given that there'll be a lot of diving by them I'd think the Referee's performance will be a factor in this game. I also agree that an early goal for us could be vital in forcing a change of tactic, which should play to our advantage. I don't fear them in the least, but neither do I underestimate them, they have players that can punish us if we give them the chance. This is a real test and we need to be well prepared and fully up for it and fully committed, if we are we will win. Im convinced Klopp'll have the side firing on all cylinders, so I'm going for 3 - 2.

Set pieces have been our Achilles heel, and with players like Ibrahimovic and Fellaini, that could be an issue for them to exploit.

That said, their midfield is porous, and I think our central trio will run them ragged.

Massive game. Best time to play them, I think.

Its going to be a long wait til 16th Oct so hopefully its worth the wait and we snatch the 3 points.

Maureen is still trying to sort out his best eleven, so we're well ahead of them there, plus we have home advantage. I'm fairly optimistic on this one. My concerns are around dealing with Maureen's tactics, as we tend To struggle against tight defences and fast breakouts. Then there's our tendency to switch off on set pieces, and I can see Maureen licking his whisker'd chops from here! The other thing I'm worrying about is the possibility of losing a couple of key players to injury in the internationals, as we don't really have a strong backup squad. Apart from that, it should be a walk in the park...

hopefully karius will have a good a performance mignolet did against spurs.

RF could find this difficult like he did in the corresponding fixture last year if man utd make it difficult for him on the ball. I think man utd will do some of the things swansea did such as create 1v1s with our fullbacks, don't know if they can do these things as well as the swans, they are a physical side like chelsea. they looked to get imbra in behind a lot vs stoke like arsenal did with us through walcott. I don't know if utd can win this game even if carrick starts but I'm looking forward to seeing us rise to the occasion

It's never a walk in the park against Man Utd, never has been and never will be.

This is my favorite fixture. I hope we smash the scum

I hate these games. I get nervous days before and my love for football either increases tenfold or disappears depending on the result.

If we lose then all the good work we've done will look like it's been for nothing and the press will leave us alone and we can go back to being underdogs.

If we win the press will have us believe that we will win the league the champions league. The world cup and master chef.

I'll take a scrappy 1-0 thanks
