Unlike cough cough. This talk of needing to be born in the city is not exactly the MO a city fan should. be striving for either, your team is actually trying to go global and guess what genius it ain't gate receipts which got your P/L in the black. I think most of them on here were born outside the city, but that is not difficult seeing as the population is something like 40% less than it once was. i worked in London on and off for about 8 years, didn't have any problems with people and thought it was a great place. I always like going back to Liverpool but would not be so keen to live there again. Not really lived there for over 30 years or visited for 5 The way the GBP is going/has gone never say never.

If I had known that nobody was coming on here for over 24 hours i would have added the following:- I think Garston fellers are very, very lucky. (Well those of mature years anyway) Everywhere they go in the UK or in the world they think the ale is brilliant. They only have Greenall Whitleys to compare it to and Greenalls was absolute sh..e. Well lets be polite it was an acquired taste. But they are due a bit of pleasure, growing up it was either Speke kicking their <deleted> or the Dingle. So Speke and Dingle lads told me anyway. OK you can have your thread back again. And yes I've had a few. Sorry about that. Is a/r/s/e/s acceptable.

BangrakBob Posted January 15, 2017 Share Posted January 15, 2017 It did seem like every time a United player was beaten to a ball and fell over they got a free kick and they defo should have had a few more cards than they got. Throw in an offside goal and Gini's 2 clear, chances it does feel a bit like 2 points dropped. That said, I'd have taken a point before the match. And old Jose's last resort tactic of pump it long to the big men paid off in the end. Luckily for him. At least we looked better than those cup matches.

Why you have changed a decision about a game because of an opinion by a supporter about a ref's decision is beyond me though. This happens every game and has nothing to do with my opinion or yours. There were several bad decisions, including Rooney not getting sanctioned for his challenge while Lovren got a yellow, and the guy tugging Firminhio back was not punished on his own. However, I thought the game flowed OK and I know that some decisions went our way too, but i still don't understand how somebody's opinion of a ref changes your view of a game... very strange Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look at this for long balls this season and you manager blows his top for another manager doing the same, does not matter how you score lads. And your penalty hand ball theit needs to be intent Pogba had no idea what he was doing he has lost the plot, if you look closely he thinks he is heading it.

BangrakBob Posted January 16, 2017 Share Posted January 16, 2017 ^ That stat suggests we've played 2.5 more 35 yard passes, not that we play a long ball attacking tactic. Obviously we don't, we don't have side built for it, it's simply press and get the ball back. Also we passed the ball more than any other side so that would affect that stat. Fig.1 We had a weakened side and were expecting that United were going to take it to us, that fact you passed the ball about a bit more just proves you couldn't penetrate our midfield. And most of the passes went amiss Fig.2 Zlatan was largely isolated until Jose decided bring on Bogbrush and lump it forward as he couldn't break us down. Shows how Jose has resorted these tactics against Spurs also, a team that plays similar to LFC. He knows no other way to rescue a point at OT and at LFC. Fig 3 Another interesting stat, the team that apparently parked the bus had 13 shots to your 9. This game was great for us, just what we needed after those Cup ties. You had your chance, but it appears Jose doesn't know how. Never mind he can spend few 100 million in the summer to make it better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
