These Reds man ......
We've been reading recently on this board how Utd have the best squad the league. The media have made them out to be Champions elect this winning run. L'pool where gonna' get beat comfortably today through a variety of scores dependent on who you read ......
Then these Reds turned up ..... !
For the manager. For themselves. For the fans. And showed this game and this title charge really means something to them.
Missing, in no particular order: Joël Matip in a bureacratic wilderness that is nothing shy of a disgrace. Nathanial Clyne, with an 18 year old rook thrust in for his full PL debut after a mere minute of injury time league service at Middlesbrough. Phil still not ready to start. And Sadio Mané away in far flung Gabon. Not to mention Jordan Henderson on one leg and a 'keeper ridiculed all over the land. Coming off their worst performance alongside Watford under Klopp midweek at Southampton. All, let's not forget, against 'the best squad in the entire league' .....
..... The 'best squad in the entire league' that snatched a late point they probably never should of save for more **** poor officiating from Oliver and his crew. Although far from their best, the massive big ones they showed to more than earn a point that should of been three shows just what these lads and this manager are all about. Thought Trent was superb. Yeah, he had his mistakes. As did most everyone on the pitch. He's 18 and developing. Wijnaldum stood out with an excellent game midfield. Bobby run himself into the ground. Phil scared the life out of Utd when he came on. And Mignolet was superb when he had to be. 5 ..... FIVE of our players ran further than the top working Utd player. These Reds man .....
BTW, is it Utd or have Wimbledon relocated to South Manchester? Hard to tell from that showing. Can't match them football wise. Resort to the hoof ..... Mourinho making an absolute ******* of himself yet again listening to him the car there ..... Only one team attacked and wanted to win apparently. L'pool just defended. That right José? That be the same L'pool that had more shots, more shots on target, more corners and more touches the opposition area? THAT 'defensive' L'pool? Sure Utd will claim to have the better chances but de Gea was far from a bystander.
Oliver a complete joke. I've been praising Herrera the weekend on here but Christ knows how he stayed on the park? Rooney's stamp on Milner was clear when it happened. And I'm told the goal was off but doubtless that wasn't mentioned by Mourinho. Not that he didn't give some poor decisions the other way. Oliver was just ***** period. But the big ones are the costly ones.
70 minutes before the first low life 'Always the Victims' chant. Quite impressive restraint for Utd at OT. And thank you SO much GMP for deciding to have a half hour lock in after you've not bothered with that ***** for the past 4 years. The UBER heated Europa League biggie included. REALLY appreciated and needed that ta.
You're left frustrated as it's Utd but in reality that's a great point gained in the title pursuit. 10 of 17 left at Anfield. All the hard aways done save for City who are imploding faster than an imploding thingie it seems. 7 points with Chelsea at ours in two games time will do very nicely indeed thank you.
Not a bad day all things considered. These Reds .....
Up the Relentless Working, Rebounding Reds!
This day, and all this game, our game, means, was for them. EARNED by them.
