v Liverpool

Looks like only a matter of time before they score.

18 mins in amd we can already see the difference between the sides.

They're a better team, technically great and full of ideas. But in the last 2/3 mins we've tried playing ourselves and cut through em with ease. A better ball from Fred and it's 1-0.

We’re going to have to start passing a lot better than we are so far. Giving it away far too much!

[bman2]

Our players are working hard but this formation looks suicidal.

This is why we should have signed Thiago

We're giving the cunt way too much time on the ball

We're not even getting close. Attack v defence. We can't string 3 passes together . Our shape looks all wrong.

That there from Maguires sums up our performance and our approach in these games.

Yeah it's suicidal. It's frustrating cos Fernandes is similarly brilliant but all he's doing in this system / tactics is marking space. He's barely touched the ball.

If Bruno, Pogba, Rashford and Martial can get on the ball near their area they'll rinse their bodged CBs

Liverpool's midfield looks lightweight against attacking play too. They're a bit there for the taking IMO

I think you're spot on there. The problem is that we're so utterly amateur at the back we're finding it hard to overcome that first
