Liverpool will not be so lackadaisical this time. This means more.
it wasn't really that they were lackadaisical as much as it was they were simply way more fatigued than united. They'd played about 6 games more in an already cramped schedule with a threadbare squad due to injuries. It's why they lost it in extra time, they were done after 90 minutes
This is our cup final, it's the last domestic game that means anything.
Meh... Liverpool aren't as solid as City or Arsenal. They're gonna score, but they're also gonna give the other team a chance and United got the front 3 to cash in if they decide to show up.
@@adtastic1533 Liverpool are scraping wins that is for sure but they were suoerb against City at Anfield, not so good against, Forest and Sheffield United.
Hahahaha
Great content - tip adjust your mic/camera so it doesn’t cover half your face. Ie Adam and Andy. Ps Jon slays. The best.
Of course they can. Especially after the FA cup classic. Liverpool wanted to avoid a penalty shootout in that one and got caught on the break in ET. So doubt they will repeat the same mistake but who knows?
Look for a big reaction at OT for Sunday’s game. Liverpool need to be more clinical with their chances to win. Won’t be an easy one.
Can they score 5 goals against Liverpool? No? Then they cant upset them. Their defense is a sieve and Liverpool will hit them for at least 5 if Utd try play football.
Or, if they dig in and park the bus then Liverpool may only score 2 or so but Utd wont score at all in that case.
United played football and beat them three weeks ago. Liverpool couldn't win at anfield. Don't be that cocky.
@@MrDrezzy007 cocky? I'm an Arsenal fan. Utd to win would be great. But with that boiled egg in charge they'll be lucky to lose by 4 or less goals. Mark my words, its going to be an absolute hiding.
@@irieite9666 looking forward to Arsenal's visit to Old Trafford
@@Kurolinks For what? Your league season is over. You need to worry about Coventry. Ellis Simms will knock in a few goals against Dalot and Maguire and the lads.
@@irieite9666I'm also an Arsenal fan and I think United got a great chance if their front 3 take their chances. Liverpool aren't as solid as City or Arsenal, they'll give you a sniff, and United got the players to get at them esp at home. United will need to defend out of their skins and, sure, Liverpool should win. I just think form goes out the window in big derbies like this.
Liverpool are getting better so its hard to see Man U winning here with squad depth returning, will feel better when Jota TAA and Allison.
If Liverpool can hold out another 10 days till the return of Trent, Jota and Allison I thnk it's game over. Liverpool will be too strong for any team. Too strong with too many options off the bench.
The bottom line is that we lost against them because we didn't take our chances.This is a must win game and being clinical is key.If we're not clinical we will drop points.If we are clinical I believe we will win.We also could do with a better start to the game.Hopefully we keep key goal scorers on the pitch at the end of the game rather than go defensive,as it could be about outscoring them.
Good analysis, you’re a fan who understands why Liverpool drew today, dominated the first half but didn’t finish
I think Ten Hag played all his cards in the FA cup tie. Klopp will walk over him.
What cards were they?
@@mickbannerpraying to god that klopp keeps playing kids 😂😂
Liverpool to run riot..
😂
That Jon Guy doesnt like Man United very much does he? I wonder who he supports? Very impartial isnt he? 🤣
He's a Spurs fan I believe.
leeds fan.
@matias2911 Oh, well ain't that a surprise, NOT 🤣
Andy Jones shocking barnet
So no time given for the Man u game ?
The only reason Liverpool lost the FA cup tie was that it was the 9th match in 29 days. You lot are fishing for attention.
We just don't know what Manchester United team will be. Will it be that team that won the FA Cup? Or that team that got beaten by Liverpool 7-0?
If man u don't win today, I wouldn't worry about top 5, I would be worried West Ham, Newcastle, Brighton and even Chelsea catch them.
the ‘right?’ count on this one is high 😅
Mark looks like he is always about to sneeze
Bri'ish nose innit
I had to Google Tim Robinson hotdog sketch 😂
Everton hater here. Can we please just relegate them already? No team has offered the EPL less, in its entire history, and never been relegated. They are, by a country mile, the club most deserving to be relegated in the EPL. City have gone down. Villa have gone down. Newcastle have gone down. Yet all of those clubs have had top sides, played great football and been relevant. Then we have Everton who just hang around, do nothing, and stink up the place. Whats their best finish? 4th? And they still bottled the UCL playoff. Their best ever manager is David Moyes. Do I need to say more?
Lol it'll be just like United to get something from the game, hopefully they win haha
Spot on man😂
Large up Jon as per
Clearly Ten Hag is taking "break us down" tactics to the next level. Revolutionary
Can chaotic Man United upset Liverpool?.. let me save you 43 minutes... yes.. but i'd give you 40/60 odds.. bet on it if you're mad enough
You posted same preposterous tag lined video before FA cup and Liverpool lost. Stop jinxing stuff, Athletic. 😤😡
God leventhal is a prat. So dismissive of palace.. your a Watford fan mate
How many times can a team be so lucky to win competitive games with this chaos?? This is definitely a deliberate plan from Erik ten Hag, the execution is not good yet, which shows that this is still in it's teething phase and this requires patience. Stop picking on United just because you don't understand what we're trying to build here.
The other week when we beat Liverpool, people said we were lucky to win it, that Liverpool let us off the hook. We just lost against Chelsea in similar fashion but you won't here people saying Chelsea are lucky, that we let them off the hook, double standards much?? I mean since we giving credit to teams for losing
Spoiler alert, NO!
The season was over before Christmas, this panto's success has been driven by 20 clubs feasting from us. Very little in it for the fans. Im not convinced by ineos, the glazers are still there, subduing standards - tempering expectations call it what u like.
Theres nothing sexy about us anymore, i resent that. 🔴❤️.
It is not a matter of Ten Hag being sacked and replaced by Potter or Southgate. The crux of the issue lies with the players' inability to adapt to a different style of play. Ange Postecoglou, when he joined Spurs, faced similar skepticism from the players, but they eventually embraced the new approach and began to believe in it. In contrast, at Manchester United, the players have never been given the chance to adopt any style of play other than low-block counter-attacking football. This was evident when Rangnick was appointed, and the players struggled to maintain the new approach for more than 30 minutes. Ole also tried to play expansive football, but the players were unable to adapt, and the team struggled as a result.
Ten Hag's situation is similar. In his first season, the players were unable to play expansive football, and the team suffered as a result. Ten Hag then adjusted his approach to mid-to-low block football and counter-attacking football, which the players were more comfortable with. This season, there has been a lot of criticism of Ten Hag's gameplay, and the players he thought were not good enough last season are now being played. However, the reasons for the team's struggles are not solely due to the manager's incompetence. The board's incompetence is also a significant factor. They failed to sell Maguire and McTominay, who should have been replaced, and did not bring in a CB, midfielder, and another striker, which the team desperately needed.
Furthermore, there are dressing room issues that need to be addressed. The team is not a cohesive unit, and there are different cliques within the squad. This is not a healthy environment for a team to succeed. Ten Hag has tried to address these issues by having meetings with the players, but this has not been successful. The players are not in harmony, and there is a lack of trust among them. This is evident in the way they have performed on the pitch.
Ten Hag has also faced criticism for not playing the same attacking football that he did at Ajax. However, what people forget is that Ten Hag cannot play that style of football with the current crop of players. They are not capable of executing that style, and if he were to try, the players would simply down tools. Ten Hag has also been forced to play players like McTominay, who may not be the best player, but he has tried to keep unity within the squad.
The preseason was also poorly managed, with the team facing a ridiculous schedule that was more focused on marketing purposes than preparing the players for the upcoming season. This has caused issues within the team, and the board needs to take responsibility for their mistakes.
In conclusion, the issues at Manchester United are not solely due to the manager's incompetence. The players and the board also share responsibility for the team's struggles. Ten Hag has tried to adapt to the situation, but he has been hampered by the players' inability to change their ways and the board's poor decision-making. He deserves more time to address these issues and bring in the players that he needs to succeed.
It's worth noting that Klopp had a similar issue when he first joined Liverpool, where the players were not able to play intensively. However, Klopp was able to adapt and change the team's style of play, which ultimately led to success. Liverpool then engrossed itself to that ideal and made sure to remove players that were not able to deliver to that ideal and bought players that fit to that mould, which is now reaping the reward. Manchester United needs to take a similar approach and backing their manager to make the necessary changes to the team.
The true answer is nobody know. No telling which man Utd will show up on Sunday 🤣
This channel must have an agenda on liverpool yous are always underrating us😂😂😂
Jesus can Liverpool fans go one whole day without trying to play the victim?
no
Yes they will. As they ended Liverpool's quadruble chat
Not a hope mate
They will in their arse, give over! 😂😂😂
just a comment so i can easily return to this on sunday😝
No
Nope
Jon Mackensie could put a glass eye to sleep.
0-7 incoming for united. Liverpool is going to hammer them.
I really hope so
Liverpool competiting against three teams this season, Arenal City and the PGMOL. Imagine where they would be with right calls in Spurs game, Doku kong-fu kicking MacA, Arsenal playing basketball in their box and not getting a pen. Chelsea's goal opening day aswell (say handball err yes)...
If ifs and ands were pots and pans there'd be no need for tinkers. Liverpool are in a position to win the league. I don't care about things that didn't happen. This kind of thinking is why we have VAR in the first place, be careful what you wish for.
@@sensibility1174 i agree there were reffing mistakes but as a fanbase lets not get dragged down into childish arguments, we're going to win this despite the odd faux pas from refs, in reality (excepting the spurs goal) these things even out, thats always been the case and adults accept this, all this pgmol baiting is embarrassing tbh, reminds me of those divvy kids in the schoolyard who cant accept things going wrong and we should be above it, we're better than plums like goldbridge and the like...surely????
Will see what happens at the end of the season say if Liverpool lose by a point or two..I dare say we will hear PGMOL and Spurs/Doku cropping up in conversation..
Answer. United getting trashed
Nah you need graphics. Not jsut talking plebs
crying put loud im five minutes in and the fella talking in xg riddles is making my blood boil...just say theyre conceding too many shots and move on ffs
What a waste of time…..inane comments.
Inane indeed
pool 4:2 losers in red
I’m sorry but what is the obsession with John mckenzie, why is he on everything the athletic do it’s so boring hearing him talk the same shit about xg over and over again
