Have Liverpool been that great? Half time analysis was a bit of a joke. Anyone would think Liverpool were 4-0 up.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) is joined by CEO Duncan Drasdo and Financial Director Andy Green from the Manchester United Supporters Trust for a special episode on all things behind the scenes at Old Trafford including a brief history of MUST and their aims today, views on INEOS and Sir Jim Ratcliffe so far, and the Old Trafford regeneration.
Even at HT it is Villa - 3 attempts and 4 shots on target to Liverpool 8 attempts and 4 shots on target.Only Liverpool, truly, could have their young side obliterated and still be getting praise from many quarters
They are actually not playing bad.. at 2-0, the stats were something like 7 liverpool attempts to 2 for villa.. with 1 shot on target
Do you think anyone would notice if we switched the numbers around?
C’mon when you have 11 youngsters against men this usually happens. We lost to Astana doing the exact same thing.
I'm only counting the ones that hit the back of the onion bag
It's league only, Pool already lost a game in the CL vs Naples. The good news is , the longer it continues, the sooner it's going to end. But it's to no avail, the league title is in the bag
We did score twice over there though
Well Redknapp was going about how wonderful Liverpool have been. Has he thought Aston Villa have allowed that to happen so they can counter? You can’t play well if you’re 4-0 down.
They are awful, caught in possession, sloppy passes galore, naive defending.
They are 4 goals down, that doesn't happen by playing well!!
No you are correct. That's still undecided. Fulham will also get money if he's sold from Liverpool but the tribunal has to decide the compensation that Liverpool have to pay. Not sure how they can decide that fee. Honestly thought it was just a small standard fee for the upbringing since he hadn't signed a contract. Not sure why Liverpool should pay more than a club in the Championship who gets a player from a League 1 team or something. Sure Elliott is a bigger talent but he's done nothing to warrant a fee. That's what the Tribunal is for I guess.
No wonder they rave about Allison though, because the 3rd choice keeper is proper duff, innit.
(I'm enjoying this way too much, tbh)

Finally an enjoyable match involving Liverpool.
Klopp destroying Liverpools young players.

And half of RedCafe antiOle-brigade wanted Ole out.
So I say, Klopp out!
Klopp is far away so he can't controll the wind, VAR and all other factors that make them win normally.
Wonder if Villa might slow it down now.
Well they are called goals and i am not counting them tonight
Yup pretty sloppy play - as expected when you play 11 kids without a single player from the first team squad of 23. The praise was for their attacking play and for not being cowed down.
Neither are Barca from last seasonWell they are called goals and i am not counting them tonight

What? Their fans hate Liverpool and Utd
You forgot the surface
I'm surprised like people have said they haven't put a scattering of first team players in with the kids obviously not VVD/ Mane etc but it would have helped them I know we used manly kids in our Europa lately but we had already qualified and used a more experienced team in our last game to make sure we topped the group
You would swear they were playing against prime Barca to hear the commentators drooling over them.

They played the kids against arsenal though with some experienced players. Couldn't defend then either, but when you play Arsenal you will always score a lot at least.
Really? You expect a bunch of players who regularly play together to be sloppy and get caught in possession repeatedly in dangerous areas on the pitch?Well they are called goals and i am not counting them tonight

Ok then.
The so called brilliant attacking play has been non existent this second half, rather like it was for 35 mins of the first.
And we will mourn being dumped out of the cup as did they last season. I am sure both of us feel the same sadness.Neither are Barca from last season
That's something of a paradox
Ohho ok. They are playing shit. Happy?
I was just pointing out a positive aspect to their game that I genuinely felt in the second half. A team can have some positives and a lot of negatives in a game.
Yes, I grieveAnd we will mourn being dumped out of the cup as did they last season. I am sure both of us feel the same sadness.
As Ole might say," They will learn from this."
Villa taking it very easy now.
Was that one of the Longstaff brothers
Complaints to NSPCC incoming from Scousers.
Urgh.. Trezeguet and his terrible finishing. Still hasn't improved unfortunately.
Still should be 5 though
Wrong hair colour.
Definitely. For all his faults - giving youth the chance would definitely help in the long run. Although trying it in first team PL holds a lot more risk than youth team league cup. But fair fecks if it plays out and ole manages to pull it back up from here.
I just enjoy watching Liverpool suffer, sorry
They haven't really turned up this second half, feels like a testimonial now, Villa just knocking the ball about and showboating, Villa could and should be 6 to the good.
Kelleher's done ok int he second half.
Come on if they get 6 we deserve 2-3 too.. just now their keeper had a wonder reaction save moment. And a couple of chances in first half too.I just enjoy watching Liverpool suffer, sorry

Have to love banter

In Jan we have Everton in the cup plus a 4th Rd tie if we win that. Also 4 tough PL games against Utd, Spurs, Wolves and Sheffield Utd. We may also have the rearranged game against West Ham. Not having two additional LC games can only help our PL campaign.
