Defence wins leagues, period. Need to get it right.

Exactly.

It's taken Klopp a decade to realise this, hence he spent big on Van Djik and Allison

True, but we are not winning any league. We want to be entertained for the next 6 months and that is what we are getting.

It’s annoying we can’t keep a clean sheet. But I’m just enjoying us play good football for the first time in a long time.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
It's the philosophy, though: freedom to attack without fear if you concede. Psychologically it should pay off and get the most out of these creative, talented players. It'll mean few clean sheets but lots of high scoring games.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
For the mean time certainly. We need to improve defensively going forward but I’d rather we focus on the forward play an address that later.

Completely different team under OGS. Superb attacking play. Remembered old time when crowd used to chant attack attack attack.

The way I read us talking about just outscoring our opponents, reminds me off Rodger's Liverpool and Klopp's Liverpool up until last year.

Look at Eric Baily the lad has been class. What Mourinho did to some of these players is criminal. He should be sent to court and stand trial

The coaches haven't had time to try and fix the defence. There is a clear improvement from the defence when teams counter and when we are in possession. but the key issue is organisation in congested situations, it's when we are always conceding. i think once the christmas period is over they will work on improving it.

I've just clocked Martial put that cross in for Rashford's goal. Saw him pop up in central areas too. Being given the bit of freedom his talent requires.

I noticed this straight away in the Cardiff game. He was popping up in the middle as opposed to being asked to hug the left touchline and keep his position.

Mind you, Rooney said in the post-match analysis that the one major difference he saw in Martial was that he remained on the left

Goals wins games. We are not allowing that many chances as well.

Sensational from Rashford. Looking more and more like a top class #9. He’s been in good form for months now.

This is what Utd need though. Their team should be good enough to go out and outclass most teams in the league outside of the top 6-8, Mourinho couldn't even get them doing that.

The big tests for Ole come against the big teams.

This is the player LvG gave a platform to. Been absolutely hobbled by Mourinho.

Time for England to go old school with 2 up top.

We scored 3 and were a few better passes from scoring another 3. Quick incisive play is back.

Forgot Lingard was playing tbh.

If we can get Sanchez in sync with Pogba, Rashford and Martial, we will have an attack as good as Liverpool's IMO.

Pogba is a furrrking disgrace. If he gives half as much effort when he plays for Mourinho then Mourinho doesn't ever get fired.

Such a disgrace.He should be ashemed of himselkf

———
This has been an issue for a while, and I don’t think it’s just down to organisation. I think it’s the defenders switching off and not being alert to danger, which is as much to do with the qualities of the players themselves rather than how the team is coached.

We had a good defensive record under Mourinho until this season, but we regularly conceded the type of goals we’ve seen today.

We need better defenders and dm’s. Matic has looked much improved the last few games with the ball, but he’s always been guilty of switching off and losing markers or just being too slow.

comment by Jose Mourinho, just the Portuguese Fat Sam, teaching 19th century football. Klopp is the better manager, and Eva Caniero was right. #Hazard knows. (U21750)

Everyone that has some understanding of this game kept saying if the dutchman stayed, these two players in my opinion would've improved immensely. The boring one came and ruined both of them

Get Koulibaly in and the next manager will thank us.

hahaha Pogba practiced his celebrations in the warm up

Just me or is Shaw nowhere near as quick as he was before his leg break?
