Welp. Both teams had decent reasons to feel disappointed. Until we meet next weekend lol

7 draws already. Only Brighton have more.

They said on the broadcast Liverpool and United have drawn 0-0 in four of their past nine matches against each other. I think those are the only four matches I've seen out of the past nine. Figures.

I was surprised how poor Liverpool looked offensively in the second half. Could have been all three points for United if Pogba didn't fire that shot right at Alisson's chest.

The draw definitely makes the title race more interesting, though

Re: 2020-2021 English Football Thread

First half I thought Liverpool were far and away the better side. I think the second half they let their game plan get away form them especially after the first big save by Allison. Pogba not finishing was criminal. Can't miss those in this kind of game.

I really don't think either team walks away, happy at all.

Looking fwd to next weekend since it's close to today both clubs will probably open it up a bit more and a bit less at stake

The 2 saves by Alisson will be highlighted but I think the biggest chance was Rashford NOT putting Cavani in. Cavani went left into space and Fabinho pushed Rashford way right until the chance was gone. Had Rashford just eased up and put it to Cavani he was in. Cavani was livid.

I thought United was the better side and created the better chances.

That’s what’s maddening about Rashford. He literally just ran diagonal through the box until he was out of space lol

1 goal in 4 games for us. Klopp says he isnt worried. That is bull.

The best chances for us today fell to Firmino. And we all know he is hardly prolific. Just wish he would just put his laces through those chances. Too many cute flicks and tricks all the time from him. Great player but annoys me to no end.

A few weeks back I mentioned about having no urgency near the end of games ,same again today. We had a corner late on, it was cleared but we kept possession. Everyone bar TAA and maybe 1 more were still in the box. Instead of pumping it back in we pass it back into our own half. No killer instinct whatsoever. We are miles off repeating as champions right now.

We need another CB this month. We lose so much in MF when Henderson is not there.

I think the recent form of the front three is strengthening the case for going after Haaland this summer. Firmino is fried.

I'm still annoyed at Jota getting injured in the Midtjylland game. Game meant nothing in the group. Should not have played. We have missed him terribly.

Summer transfer window is gonna be a spectacle, every top club in Europe will be after that kid.

Should at least be entertaining.

Gonna be crazy.

I'd imagine Dortmund will give him a new contract and boost that reported ~70mil release clause that's supposedly going to hit next summer.

They're sitting on a goldmine with Sancho, Haaland, Reyna, and Bellingham. That's ~300 mil right there IF things are somewhat normal in the market.

How is Sancho doing this year if anyone has watched him more than I have (which is none honestly) ?

Still think he ends up at United especially with Greenwood doing nothing this year so far.
