united are not even fun to hate anymore, just a corporate franchise devoid of any semblance of a soul, trying desperately not to lose to liverpool because their official noodle partner in malaysia would be upset. its shameful, and a little sad.

Alveolar fibrosis don't give a damn.
The first 35 mins or so was pretty unsettling to watch Liverpool give away possession so easily, Firmino being the worst offender. The team plays miles better when whoever is up top drops back in to the midfield to collect the ball and allow for Coutinho to push towards the goal. Sturridge, I am afraid, may be surplus to our team and has been given ample chance to assert himself. Would like to see Ings given a chance to play with the first team.

Pogba is also a hilarious waste of money for United, when he switches off it's like watching a Formula 1 driver park their car after a few laps and have a quaint little snooze.

0-0 represents the genuine brilliance of De Gea in goal for United and the continued condemnation of a clear goal scorer for Liverpool :(

E: Also requesting some Before/After pictures of Valencia, because that dude is crazy swole these days.

Mourinho in a big game away from home? What did you expect exactly? Anyone with half a brain saw this coming before LVG was even out of the door, it would be pretty loving stupid to complain now.

Well, for one, we had two shots on goal, not two chances created. It wasn't a great performance from us, but then our players haven't come out and said that's how we have to play against the big teams (who, by the way, we've scored 11 goals against already this season and taken 11 points).

It was exactly what I expected - but United fans here and elsewhere proclaimed the era of boring football over when LVG was sacked and Mou came in. Instead he's done exactly what annoyed everyone at Chelsea. You're supposed to play the "United Way", but he's just as bad as the last guy.

I don't think there's anything wrong with either side getting a draw in that game, my point was more that Herrara suggested that is going to become the norm for United in big games. I don't know how United fans will adjust to essentially becoming the underdog for those matches.

It's not the result, it's how they went about it.

I absolutely guarantee United supporters hated it when Chelsea did it under Mourinho.

I don't know who you're thinking of when you talk about United fans but pretty much all the ones I can name here had reservations about Mourinho. And I'm pretty sure most of us would happily take 0-0 away at Anfield when Liverpool are in good form any time. Especially if it brings out the "only one side was trying to play football" tears.

I think it's pretty fair to ask why Mourinho feels the need to strip the joy out of United with the resources at his disposal, but it's not really fair to say the United fans weren't dreading this exact thing happening after the misery of Van Gaal and Mourinho's previous form at literally every club he's ever managed.

He is better than Van Gaal because he accidentally made United boring and poo poo, whereas Mourinho has deliberately made them boring and poo poo.
