[HCZ_Reborn]

Leverkusen have lost at home, similar fashion to Everton (though didn’t chuck it all away with less than five minutes of normal time to go)

[HCZ_Reborn]

Watched extended highlights of Everton-Bournemouth. Such a strange game, Bournemouth barely got forward before the last ten minutes, their first goal back was decent…really good cross…good finish. But as soon as that goal happened, Everton just messed themselves….no marking whatsoever in the box…largely just stood off them as well.

this one's normally quite a bit of fun, let's hope it's the same this time, plus obvs a Man Ure victory

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Zirkzee, clunsy oaf.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Man Utd 0-1 Liverpool, AA!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Disallowed for offside!

Offside, Sarah touched the ball while offside...

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Casemiro gets Mac Allister right in the balls.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Man Utd 0-1 Liverpool, Diaz!

[Mac76]

Casemiro cockup again :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

0-2 Diaz again! Oh Casemiro.

[Mac76]

Oh Casemiro.

And I think they still have him signed for another 2-3 seasons :haha:

[dostoy]

He doesn't have to play Casemiro though.

Dreadful decision to play him.

[Mac76]

Entertaining game as always, as good as it would be to see Liverpool drop points it's always fun to see Man Ure being rubbish again :lol:

[Mac76]

Casemiro hauled off :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Casemiro well and truly hauled off, Collyer on.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

0-3 Salah.

Ten Hag. :haha:

[Mac76]

0-3 Salah

Ten Hag :pal:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

0-7 incoming?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Zirkzee. :lol:

[dostoy]

Surely ETH has one foot out of the door already.

How fat is Zirkzee?

[Letters]

Surely ETH has one foot out of the door already.

Seems to me they only kept him because they won the Cup. Which was a pretty stupid decision given they were a VAR call away from a humiliating semi-final exit against Coventry, having been 3-0 up

[Letters]

Entertaining game as always, as good as it would be to see Liverpool drop points it's always fun to see Man Ure being rubbish again :lol:

Agreed :d

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Man Utd 0-3 Liverpool, FT.

Ten Hag. :lol:

He can't see this season out surely.

[HCZ_Reborn]

Whilst I think ETH is a poor manager, surely the problem is recruitment. So many of the players in that United side are below par.

Whilst I think ETH is a poor manager, surely the problem is recruitment. So many of the players in that United side are below par.

The problem is structurally, they're a mess on the pitch.

They can keep signing players every summer, winning every transfer window but until that changes they're lost.
