2016/17 Barclays Premier League Thread - General Discussion - FM24/25 Update

We deserved that. Mourinho got the team wrong, so many individual errors and the first forty minutes killed the game. We were better in the second half though.

Great game of football.

Same City performance as against West Ham, absolutely blew United away then lost concentration and could have easily lost that. Good game though.

Good derby; lots of intensity, vigour and determination. De Bruyne was outstanding and devastating on the left. United were full of timidity for the first 40 minutes, Lingard was a spectator, Mkhitaryan didn't look sharp and Fellaini persistently threw his weight around but wasn't winning enough of the ball.

All three goals were soft, and Bravo isn't showing much of a playmaking goalkeeper role for City. Nervous, clumsy and uncertain.

Disappointed but entertained at the same time.

Better team won and we lost it in the first half an hour. Mourinho got it massively wrong with his team and we lost it in the first half. Lingard and Mhki were abysmal and Fellaini as a holding midfielder against that City team was one of the most obvious disasters going (I actually thought he had as good a game as could be expected, and did what was asked of him reasonably well, but he's no where near mobile enough to cope with that City midfield and couldn't get close enough).

Ah well, happy enough with the fight we showed in the second half I suppose. Another day Bravo gets sent off and we get something out of it.

That game came in April after a dreadful season... this has come after 3 games in which we won all of them... I also don't really know what your point is, you're such a Liverpool fan.

As for the game yeah I'm disappointed not got get something, especially after how much we improved second half. Bailly was good again and I can't wait to have Smalling alongside him. Herrera made a big difference when he came on.

This is correct, I am a Liverpool fan, what gave it away?
