'Even allowing for inflation, this thread is not worth 198 Terry Francises' - EPL 2017-18

true, tho he might do even better if his own fans weren't racially abusing him

Says a lot that Phil Jones is still getting in this combined team and I can't really argue.

I could have basically picked any 4 man u defenders at random

Easy there moyesey

can't beat a London derby

lol

many a true word said in jest!

Mourinho with a revolutionary 7-2-1 formation

salah is so enjoyable to watch. years since liverpool had a player like him.

if I were choosing a combined XI based on this, there would not be 9 united players in it, just saying

Yeah he's great. He's got determination and the skill to match.

Wholly unimpressed with United so far. xp

yeah but this is a fine gameplan for them, liverpool not actually making many chance and the defence is always ready to hand a goal to the opposition.

plus a draw is a good result for man u.

Lukaku is a target man today. Him sending a cross in front of goal while he should be there heading it in.

Xp it is a fine gameplan, just really uninteresting to watch (says this ManU afficionado)

Liverpool will get frustrated at some stage then mourinho will hit klopp from behind with a steel chair, game over

preposterous save: check
awful miss to follow: check

Liverpool have obviously been the better side but de Gea wonder save aside they've mostly been reduced to pot shots

this Utd team tends to get better as the game goes on

That's true. Liverpool will get tired if they keep this up, and not seen any sign of improvement in their defense tbh, so shoddy.

united, one of the most expensively assembled teams of all time, the richest club in the world, are incredibly redolent of martin o'neill's ireland.

Their worst performance of the season tbf, some really sloppy play all over but especially darmian and young

wah wah

I'm not going to pretend I'm ecstatic about that but Liverpool did fuck all

had enough chances to win it.

every single other team that have held liverpool this season created more chances than that today - imagine not even bothering to try and test that defence.

FC Can't vs FC Won't

Utd have always been pragmatic at Anfield but I doubt Mourinho accounted for so many of his players losing their heads in possession

There were a few mitigating factors - Pogba missing and Herrera (who's barely played) coming in and being terrible, plus the decision to play Young as a winger and bringing in Darmian

Anyway, Liverpool tested the keeper once and Utd tested the keeper once. Seems like an increasing amount of teams aren't finding it too difficult to nullify Klopp

GOAL TO CRYSTAL PALACE. THIS IS NOT A DRILL. STAY IN YOUR HOMES. ALL BROADCAST CHANNELS HAVE BEEN COMMANDEERED FOR TRANSMISSION OF CIVIL DEFENCE INSTRUCTIONS. CRYSTAL PALACE HAVE SCORED A GOAL. THIS IS NOT A DRILL. STAY IN YOUR HOMES. ALL BROADCAST

yeah it was an own goal tbf ;)

oh shit you've scored TWO

we'll we're beating doncaster and they don't have eden hazard

Fucked up that the team is torturing its younger less experienced fans with the possibility of winning tbh

Really sympathising with Stoke right now

Congrats Bananaman! :D

fucking Chelsea

Oops er I mean, congrats! Keeps Roy in the job for a while, that!

Just saw the ridiculous pass from De Bruyne to Sane for his goal. Pfff.

FC Can't vs FC Won't

hadn't realised how bad they were doing, maybe they could get Ranieri back

Big Sam wants to manage the USA. I'm on board with it.

Jesus, I hadn't realised how gunned up his assistant Appleton is these days. He looks part The Rock, part Serbian oligarch's henchman or something. Might give some of the Leicester players Pearson flashbacks.
