And you think barcelona can't break them
There's no need to do wishful thinking here. Over 180 minutes Barcelona only scored once, aided by the most horrendous pieces of officiating that have ever been seen in UCL history.

The last time United and Liverpool met, McTominay was rated higher than all Liverpool midfeilders by whoscored, Skysports, Dailymail, etc.

Fred still got much praise even though he was not in form.then.
I agree our forwards are trash especially when compared to other big teams.. Intact only Rashford in terms of form may start in other teams but I believe our midfield should also be better than this.. Press them small and they become clueless, Fred can't drive with the ball, always wants to release it.. Even Kante does that.

The midfieder's creativity is ordinary. Fred would do more.

Nabil Keita and Fabinho's injuries took away the spark. Your team have average midfielders, don't force it.

While we were thinking of Madison, Bruno or top midfielders, those at carrigton were thinking about Can and Longstaff.


We are seriously fücked.

I Once argued dis with someone here, there's not that much creativity in looerfools midfield, their fullbacks and Attack are world class though.

Mane to me is the best player in the PL
Tactics! something that sounds foreign to our dear Manchester United.

Mane has been world class but best player in the PL? That should be KDB's Title

Fabinho played and Keita came in latet. cheesy cheesy grin. You are the one forcing it. Pogba did not play and Fred had not even hit form.

Our midfield has done well againt top teams.

I was referring to the match that made you jump into hasty conclusion - Liverpool vs Sheffield. Those two players i mentioned earlier didn't play and obviously, they were missed.

How is this Liverpool midfield more creative than ours? Liverpool's strength is clearly in their front three men.

My observation:
1. Mane's drop to midfield below the half way line to initiate the most dangerous runs from midfield to attack. Something none of our forwards can do even the number 10.

2. Defenders overlap, one or two midfield players drop to central defence, mostly Milner.

If you give Liverpool three front men to United, our midfielders would be more creative.

Klopp system does not really need creative Midfielders as is style is gengen press, recovery of the ball immediately it is lost and use it wisely.

Using a one-off match in which most of liverpool players played badly is a bad argument...that's like using Liverpool vs barca 2nd leg 2 conclude that origi is better than messi

And he'll most likely play against an aggressive Wolves side on Saturday followed by City on Tuesday.

Nobody to even step in for him. Chineke!!
When you have a go at that useless coach, some people will come to his defense...We are short of bodies in midfield and that Norwegian idiot is talking of team Chemistry...If anything happens to Ole, put the blame on me...

Hendeson, Febinho and Keita have only contributed 3 goals and 4 Assist in the EPL despite having such team mates as Salah and Mane.

Only McTominay has three goals to tally those three Liverpool midfielder of yours.

Liverpool midfeilders are ordinary. They are at the bottom of team ranking in whoscored. The five midfielders occupy 9th, 10th, 11th, 12th and 15th position.

McTominay is 3rd on United ranking.

If you give Liverpool three front men to United, our midfielders would be more creative.

Please stop it already. With Trent Alexander Arnold and Robertson joining the attack, Liverpool have a front 5. What this means is that Firmino can easily drop a little deep whilst Mane and Salah find their way to the box.

The midfielders you think aren't creative are excellent ball carriers, they drive with the ball at top speed into the opposition's half taking out one or two players in the process. Henderson is also there with his excellent long passes (Up through as gamers will say). In our set up, only Pogba is better than Henderson when it comes to those cross field balls and through passes. This season, against Everton, Henderson created at least 3 clear cut chances releasing Mane through on goal vs Pickford with just a ball over the top. What else is creativity? Wijnaldum beating his marker with pace and power whilst driving forward before releasing the ball to the overlapping Robertson is also creativity. You make the mistake of thinking creativity is when someone releases the ball to an attacker through on goal.

I don't even want to talk about Van Dijk and his epic long diagonals from defence, that is a huge weapon there. Wolves also have Coady who is adept at those devastating long passes, which was handy against City.

In all, Liverpool have creative players from Allison whose kicking is 90% of the time pinpoint accurate to Van Dijk to their overlapping fullbacks to Henderson to runners like Wijnaldum/Chamberlain/Keita to their front 3...It's a functional unit and not just their front 3.

Has Fred Pogba and McTominay played together since Fred rediscovered himself and McTominay stepped up?

Pogba had surgery on his foot today. He's forecasted to be out for up to six weeks. He played games against Watford and Newcastle in pain. He wanted to show his commitment following criticism.

Herrera in that Liverpool team would be world class.

people need to understand that System brings out the best in a player, Xavi before pep and Araogonez was just a good midfield player and was about to be offloaded to Bayern only to stay and turn out to be One of the best midfield players in the world.

Schweini was just an average winger before he met Van gaal who turned him to a World class midfielder.

I remember people here arguing that fabinho should be bought but to play as a RB and not a midfielder , now see what klopp turned him to.

They are few players that can play in any system and excell like de bruyne and lampard but they are not that many.

for example kante in a counter attacking system is a beast but in a possession based system he just looks ordinary.

Solskjær on Pogba's injury: "When you get that scan you consult your own medical people as well like I did, you want the best second opinion and the advice was to have it done. It’s not a major one and probably as I said three or four weeks."
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by Oasis007(m): 11:07am On Jan 03, 2020
Solskjær: "Here we go again, FA Cup third round and you’re talking about Paul [Pogba] again. Paul came back after a long spell out, two games, couldn’t go to Burnley, felt his ankle was sore, we did a scan and it’s not the same injury, it’s a different injury."

Solskjær on player availability vs Wolves: "Paul is out, Axel, Eric, Tim are getting closer but won’t be ready for this, Rojo won’t be ready for this. There are a couple of niggles, well not niggles, illnesses and colds, which is normal for this time."
