We’ve been poor. We’ve made an average United side look a lot better than they are.

Buendiua and Sanson only positives.

Anyone else finding themselves thinking they wouldn't really be that bothered if Luiz did fuck off?

I don't think I'd lose much sleep.

What does he offer? Really can't see what he does beyond play safe balls sideways in midfield or give the ball away.

Problem is we’re crowbarring players into positions that don’t really suit them.

Who are you thinking about there?  It is only really Watkins that is out of position right?
Possibly a sweeping generalisation - but the Watkins and Ings seem to make each other worse and luiz as the dcm doesn’t work

If Gerard sees Ings as undroppable then we have a problem.

Both Watkins and Ings have been abject. Would consider hooking them both and Couts and Archer on

Oddly, we got a few draws in the 90s after the 3-1 win in 1995-96. It was the 00s when it really went bad for us

I hate it so fucking much. Even when i had a season ticket in recent times, I always used to do anything I could to avoid going to this fixture.

Every single thing about it is shit, everything.

Need to get Coutinho on before it goes 2 nil. Ollie has been really poor tonight so likely he's vulnerable one.

Just caught myself wondering if we are going to end up worrying about relegation as the season carries on.
Manure would be gutted if we did go.

First 20ish minutes absolute dross, after that got better.
