I wonder how Liverpool became this solid defensively. Klopp has never been known to be solid defensively until recently |

eph12: If you have better defenders then your defence will improve. People do not realize magnitude of the defect in the Liverpool side over the last few years with useless keepers and equally useless defenders. Like I told Adisaowalla at the start of the season they upgraded significantly at GK and CB so they should be more competitive this season. |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by eph12(m): 1:43pm On Sep 15, 2018 |
afrodoc:I'm just surprised because when we do a comparison of our back 4 + keeper against Liverpool, we come out top |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by macjireh: 1:45pm On Sep 15, 2018 |
eph12:manU does not have defenders o...their major defensive strength is DDG |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by larride(m): 1:48pm On Sep 15, 2018 |
eph12: We only come out top on paper. Van dijk is better than all of our CB. Arnold offers way more defensively and offensively than Valencia. The only place we have edge over them is GK and they have a very good GK in Allison. |

macjireh:Not talking about present form or results, but players ability, strength, potential etc |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by eph12(m): 1:57pm On Sep 15, 2018 |
larride:I'm not talking about what they're offering now but what they ought to offer when placed side by side |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by afrodoc2: 1:57pm On Sep 15, 2018 |
eph12: The guys above have answered you. Our only advantage is at GK and Allison himself is no slouch. Van Dijk is a huge upgrade on our CBs, i will take Alexander-Arnold over Valencia who gets slower by the day and never had good crossing technique anyway, and even though Shaw has more talent than Robertson he is never fit. Then you add a Liverpool midfield which presses continuously and serves as a buffer for the defence. They don't have slow or defensively ill-disciplined players in midfield. |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by eph12(m): 2:01pm On Sep 15, 2018 |
afrodoc2:This for me is the game changer here. Not Arnold or Robertson or Gomez who until last season or so were unknown |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by afrodoc2: 2:03pm On Sep 15, 2018 |
eph12: The game changers are Van Dijk and Allison. The midfield has been pressing since Klopp got there. Van Dijk and Allison changed the game, the pressing midfield is just jara. |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by Nobody: 2:10pm On Sep 15, 2018 |
so Trent is now better than Valencia? wawu! what height of hypocrisy |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by eph12(m): 2:13pm On Sep 15, 2018 |
afrodoc2:For VD and Allison we have Bailly and De Gea. But what do we not have? A midfield that fight for every ball and charge opponents instead of withdrawing and inviting problems which can cause errors from defenders 1 Like |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by afrodoc2: 2:14pm On Sep 15, 2018 |
Afolabi6046: What hypocrisy? |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by afrodoc2: 2:17pm On Sep 15, 2018 |
eph12: Liverpool has had this fighting midfield for years, what they didn't have was a composed and dominant midfielder and a top notch goalk keeper. Instead they had Mignolet and Judas isKarius stinking up the joint. The major change between the wack Liverpool defence and this more solid defence is Allison and Van Dijk NOT the midfield. 5 Likes |

afrodoc2: Not sure he understands the meaning. |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by eph12(m): 2:25pm On Sep 15, 2018 |
afrodoc2:What do they have that we don't have? |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by Nobody: 2:26pm On Sep 15, 2018 |
afrodoc2:let me show you the dico meaning : a feigning to be what one is not or to believe what one does not : behavior that contradicts what one claims to believe or feel so because Liverpool is doing fine now, their young defense is better than yours? Bailly, Smalling, Lindelof.....wow!! |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by afrodoc2: 2:28pm On Sep 15, 2018 |
MRTA7: LOL, i guessed as much. |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by afrodoc2: 2:31pm On Sep 15, 2018 |
Afolabi6046: I said i preferred Alexander Arnold to an ageing Valencia. Please how is Valencia part of our young defense? Let us not even get started on how that your definition of hypocrisy applies to what i said. You are confused young man, and you don't have anyone to tell you. 7 Likes |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by eph12(m): 2:43pm On Sep 15, 2018 |
The only reason why Bailly is no more rated is because our midfield prefers to withdraw instead of marking and are slow to react. Now VD is miles ahead of Bailly and we're now saying that Gomez Arnold and Robertson are miles ahead of Shaw Valencia and Jones. Lol. It's okay |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by SIRcumalot: 2:54pm On Sep 15, 2018 |
eph12:Bailey na suspect right from the beginning. Na gra-gra defender. A black Phil Jones. |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by afrodoc2: 2:55pm On Sep 15, 2018 |
eph12: Remember this is what you started with. It was not about Man Utd vs Liverpool, rather it was about Liverpool past vs Liverpool present. eph12: So we are explaining to you what has changed at Liverpool. The midfield has not really changed much. The major changes are at GK (where they have a solid GK rather than the comedians they had before) and at CB where they have a leader who is composed and dominant in the air. |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by eph12(m): 3:34pm On Sep 15, 2018 |
afrodoc2:My intention was to compare both back 4 with keeper and see how they come out against each other. Only because of recent results will anybody say Robertson Arnold and Gomez are better than what we have here at United. Now I'm wondering why VD that's the only one better than any defender we have, the game changer. That's one out of 5. Well if you say the other ones are better than what we have then I will be forced to agree. Because I am trying to wrap my head around how one person out of 5 will make that kind of difference. Messi, Ronaldo and Co still need very good players around them to deliver. |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by PietroRick: 3:36pm On Sep 15, 2018 |
eph12:lol, my nigga.. You are talking all over the place |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by ChristineC: 3:40pm On Sep 15, 2018 |
SIRcumalot:not true. 1 Like |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by eph12(m): 3:41pm On Sep 15, 2018 |
PietroRick:Lol, why na? Maybe I'm confused sha. VD that some people were making fun of last season for causing goals is now the game changer? I used to think that a solid midfield and relentless attack is what is doing the job, and that the team generally is more organized now. With this, what Mourinho needs to improve this our team is just to get a defender right? |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by eph12(m): 3:43pm On Sep 15, 2018 |
SIRcumalot:Of course you have forgotten how VD was laughed at last season when he got to Liverpool. Even till the end of the season they were leaking goals |
