It makes you wonder what Mourinho and Solskjær see in him bar a way to cover his own flank for their fullback deficiencies.

And like some stunningly average players he compensates for a huge off field/ice/court/rink presence with his social media presence to which sadly at that is even worse given Pogba and him make the most cringe pairing off field I have ever seen.

Smart though as it brings them to the map beyond what they are.

Welbeck under SAF really reminds me of this. Especially his performance vs Real Madrid in the CL, don't recall the year. He was a "young talent" back then.

Really wonderful performance though and SAF being the magnificent manager he is utilized Welbeck to his full potential. Far better player with SAF than he's been since.

Welbeck was the best player under Steve Bruce tbh

Think Leicester will get a result tomorrow. No idea if United can sneak a win.

Klopp is so poor at rotating squad but I am happy at least he is trying!

First blood Newcastle!

by Jay29 Sat Sep 14, 2019 12:39 pm

1-0 Newcastle. hmm

All starts from Liverpool failing to play the offside trap. Allowed Atsu time to bring the ball down in front of their defence. Still really good play from Willems, though.

Tent alexander is really bad at 1 on 1s

by Hapless_Hans Sat Sep 14, 2019 12:51 pm

doesn't help that Adrian is not a very great goalie either

by Nishankly Sat Sep 14, 2019 12:52 pm

Adrian ffs use your other arm WTF

by Hapless_Hans Sat Sep 14, 2019 12:57 pm

Liverpool's quality in depth is so poor.

They were extremely lucky last year not to have any long term injuries to a key player.
2 changes today, Oxlade and Origi come in Laughing

Both are ultimately pretty poor, and so is Matip. Gomez really should be ahead of Matip.

by Nishankly Sat Sep 14, 2019 12:57 pm

What is the use of VAR? That was a daylight robbery.

Gomez is a fantastic young CB, outperforming van Dijk at times before his injury

and somehow, quietly, steadily, Jürgen Klopp has turned Sadio Mané of Salzburg and Southampton fame into the best attacker in the world after Messi

err, no, you don't get to jerk off Klopp for this

I was calling for United to sign Mane from Southampton, he was already this good then

He didn't even have a thread on GL, when players like Filip Kostic, Moukoko, Richarlison, Malcom, or Rashford have one.

So gtfo

You also rate Willock. Doesn't mean you think he'll be the best midfielder in the world.

Or will he?
