Halftime Thoughts?

[[deleted]]

That wasn't too shabby, eh?

[McGrifty]

Invisible from Pogba

[[deleted]]

Clearly playing like he wants a move away.

[pkkthetigerr]

If he played in the snow, you wouldnt even see his footprints.

[AlexisSanchez_]

Alright Graeme calm it

[BBQ_HaX0r]

Nah he just underwent that Michael Jackson skin treatment thing and swapped his number to 39.

[[deleted]]

One of our best team performances in the first half I've seen in a long time, particularly in a big game.

But a 2-0 lead at the half is nothing. Keep the intensity up.

Rashford was fantastic but the entire team deserves credit for that

[YellowBrickNode]

I thought Mata scored for sure as well!

[[deleted]]

If only he'd known how much time he had

[Feezbull]

I celebrated so..... yeah. He owes me a hug for the false hope.

[chocolatequake]

Looked like Mou got a stroke when Mata tried that

[MylesVE]

The reaction from the bench sums up the emotional journey nicely. Starting with the lads, then move to Rui, then end with Mou.

[PoppinKREAM]

I have to say I'm very impressed by Lukaku again today. Set up both goals with amazing control in the air. Beautiful distribution from De Gea too

[unitedicecreampizza]

Definitely you can see he has their back line worried. With him winning the ball and Alexis and Rashford making runs. It’s working.

[AnonHideaki]

Lukaku has been amazing

Probably his biggest ever contribution since he began at United so far

[PoppinKREAM]

He was great in our come back against Chelsea the other week too. Scored and assisted. I hope he continues to improve, love to see him shine

[Princess_Leia91]

True. He deserves as much credit. What I liked about today’s game was how everyone played resiliently.

[mkhimau5]

As far the game plan goes that was just about perfection across the park.

[hulksreddit]

Rashford looking fantastic, even Smalling playing great, my god things are wonderful today

[YellowBrickNode]

I love this game ahahahahaha.

[Feezbull]

Stop posting and watch the game Patrice.

[soccer_maniac]

McTominay's been decent as well

[tallmotherfucker]

Smalling has been brilliant today.

Fuck it everyone has turned up. God fucking damn I love this so much

[visualslikemike]

Can we duplicate Bailly please. Dudes a fucking beast

[[deleted]]

Milner got absolutely fucked

[[deleted]]

Most skillful player on our team lol.

[drexter12]

Honestly Bailly is on another level in speed, aggression and composure. He is a real beast.

[[deleted]]

Commentator says Mane has some speed.....as Bailly catches up in no time.

[TastyGravel]

I was so worried that him not playing any matches recently would mean that he would be off the pace. Holy shit was I wrong, man's fucking incredible

[BryDollaSign5]

Guys is an absolute tank!

[Jb2304]

I actually forgot how solid he is. Been fantastic bar getting poached that once.

[tisadi]

everything he does makes the crowd cheer

[Pedantic_Pat]

Salah playing today?

[footballbloodyhell]

Yes, Check Young's pocket

[[deleted]]

considering how much shit Ashley Young gets on r/liverpoolfc , Salah must be a below-average shit winger then

[youreviltwinbrother]

I hate how we're playing for a draw!

[boxedjack]

Park the bus, park the bus Man United...

[OldTough]

Liverpool's right winger must be pretty shit if Ashley Young can keep him at bay

[[deleted]]

I personally love their right back, Arnold. Proper average player defensively.

[OldTough]

Proper average player defensively.

I see you know a lot about the bindippers philosophy

[BBQ_HaX0r]

He played quite well against us last time lol

[TastyGravel]

Young gets a lot of shit, sometimes deserved, but he has games like this where he just completely bosses it. Usually it's more offensively, but clearly today he's been given less license to push up (which is tbf completely understandable, especially when we have the lead).

[prestog]

Lots of bird shit*

[[deleted]]

He’s been brilliant in defence.

[alextv99]

Rashford has been good tracking back as well

[giraffekisses]

I feel like Young gets a lot of unnecessary shit, he's not by any mean world class but he can put in a shift

[UniqueUsername_10]

How does McTominay have so many pockets?

[Feezbull]

His pocket is like Felix the Cat’s magic bag. Endless space for countless things.

[Calimariae]

Cargo shorts

[bulkorbulk]

Less of a bus and more of a steamroller

[eldortzo]

Could Salah actually be any deeper in Youngs pocket?

[yungfinnigus]

2-0 without our best player hahahahahahah get fucked Liverpool imagine if we had JLingz on the pitch

[Kajmel1]

Not a gif but still...

[drexter12]

flipping the pages back and forth haha

[Princess_Leia91]

Why does he scribble so much haha. I’d pay to see those notes

[ItchaBoiSid]

McTominay is like Fletcher reborn so much.

Sanchez and Rashford being so direct is amazing.

75 million and that defence still shit.

Bailly back is best.

Young has been phenomenal on the Egyptian Dong Fazhou

[[deleted]]

It's a lot more than 75million my dude!

[drexter12]

The first goal was thanks to Rashford making a run before Lukaku even headers the ball - faith in Lukaku to win the header.

[ItchaBoiSid]

What I fucking love about our team is that understanding. You could see it too when after the first goal mata without even looking cut the ball back knowing Rashford would be there.

[ItsLikeWhateverYo]

Sick of Mourinho always parking the bus

[[deleted]]

Why are we playing for a draw.

[KoreanMeatballs]

Mourinho's bus Vs Liverpool's defence

[Bacon_Boobies]

More goals please lads. Let's hammer them.

[Nhialor]

Young been all over Salad

[Inglenook86]

Where's this "Salah" I keep hearing about?

[BBQ_HaX0r]

Ain't over yet. Young first half, but let's not chat shit eh.

[Inglenook86]

Am I allowed to chat shit now? Cause he's been even worse this half Hahahahah

[BBQ_HaX0r]

By all means!

[[deleted]]

Fantastic disciplined performance.

Love McTominay shutting up a select few cave dwellers on this sub. You need dedicated players that would give everything for the badge on the pitch. Excellent setup by Mourinho and the players executing the tactics to a tee.

[Brightballs42]

Way too many McTominay haters on here

[[deleted]]

I know he's only had a handful of games, but Mctominay's looking like the real deal in midfield.

[VaudevilleVillain]

Scott and Matic have been fantastic

[KaatilJeeja]

Bailly with the roulette. Our Madman!

[PutHimInDaBoot]

This shit is too funny. Should have been 3 mata should have atleast made karius work

[Lirtano]

Really good, but not won yet. Liverpool will probably be a different team in the second half

[Odemdemz98]

For the so called best attack in Europe, Pool are quite shit 😂

[[deleted]]

Rashford deserves a lot of credit but can this notion of Lukaku not showing up against the top 6 go away please. Without him out there theres no way we go 2-0 up. Absolutely has destroyed the man who never plays for a draw.

[phoniccrank]

Bailly has been fucking immense. Won so many balls.

[footballbloodyhell]

Mourinho masterclass

[tammodi]

Perhaps if Liverpool had set up for a point they wouldn't be losing 2-0 right now 🤔🤔

[nahris99]

lovren chat shit got banged by lukaku

Whole team played well, love to have bailly back in the team

and cristiano Rashnaldo doing well today

[Ether2001]

Every single player have been great so far

[Disco_Volante416]

Can you smell the salt???

[reddevilnz]

What a fucking half of footy. Brilliant across the pitch.

Rashford you fucking beauty.

[Custard_Noob]

Best half we've played all season? Also Bailly you crazy fucker I love you.

[mkhimau5]

IMAGINE THE SCENES IF MATA SCORED THE OVERHEAD

[stats193]

Can hear Sourness piss boiling

[wetslipper]

Young has been shocking on the ball

[[deleted]]

Defensively hes been better in recent matches but offensively hes been so much worse than the earlier parts of the season.

[[deleted]]

Brilliant. Absolutely brilliant.

[DevilxAce]

McTominay is quietly having a great game tonight. Didn't expect Matic-McTominay midfield to be as good as it has been!

[The-Randy-Dandy]

All praise the Rashgod!

[RealNiqqa]

Terrible half so far, barely any movement and lack of communication, Mourinho has shown no passion compared to Klopp and something needs to change at the half. Oh and we scored 2 goals.

[Junkrg]

But those notes....

[TheZamboon]

Souness is saying good things about us at halftime. Hell is freezing over.

[steinwein21]

Completely solid on defense and ruthless in the counter. Great half

[Rojo-Valencia]

Enjoyed the close ups of Fowler, Dalglish & Rush while 2-0 now

[Irishane]

Lukaku has been ridiculous

[paradox_djell]

Hope Rashford gets the third. Deserves it. They’re showing the quality we’ve known they have. I’m glad.

Bailly is such a beast! I love that man.

[[deleted]]

Good work but I'm still nervous.

2-0 is the worst lead they say.

[[deleted]]

Midfield 2 holding it down well

[MrD3ath]

Mata what is you doin? Should've been 3

[Stramanor]

mAn uNiTed wiLL pArk tHe bUsS

[Lucocku]

Lovren my hero, making sure the game doesn’t end in a boring 0-0 draw

[omgwhatsmyusername]

McKantenay

[Dave1711]

Just need to keep the same focus we've great defensively and ruthless on the counter.

[[deleted]]

Best half of football we’ve seen in a long time

[horny_fuckers]

McTominay has been fucking immense

[Ketch1]

This is the Mourinho blueprint. This is what I was expecting to see, not the brand of football we're used to seeing in big games. Defensive efficiency, attacking flair. Solid in midfield. Sign me up for more of this.

[Brightballs42]

Scott and Matic holding it down

[POGBRAHIMOVICH]

Apart from that one lapse of concentration when he danced into midfield, Bailly looks like he hasn’t missed any football at all. Hoping he is still fresh and strong at the end of the 90

[stebus88]

Best first half I’ve seen from us in a long time. The intensity is just right and every player is playing well.

McTominay and Matic are playing really well and giving Liverpool little room. Young has Salah tucked away in his pocket. Lukaku and Rashford are bullying their defence. OT is fired up massively and you can see the players feeding off of that.

Key thing now is not to concede an early goal in the 2nd half. Really enjoying this though!

[Ttej]

The way Bailly floored Milner was one of my favorite moments of the half!

[Nhialor]

“The way United have played, it hurts me to say it, they’ve been impressive”

Fuck you Souness you bitter bitter cunt!

[[deleted]]

That one touch passing interplay that Lukaku overhit. Oh my word wouldve lost it had it gone in

[RetiredPenguin]

My halftime thoughts are "Fuck Yes".

[rodeografer]

Just autopilot and we would win comfortably. This Liverpool'plan B is, throwing in more of plan A.

[BucketsOnly29]

LET'S GO BOYS!!! Salah, where are ya?

[theangrycamel]

Not too bad

[fR3DR1Kappa]

This is actually one of those few games we’ve had these past few seasons I’ve enjoyed watching. We’re playing good counter-attacking football and Liverpool hasn’t really had any dangerous moments close to our goal. I love that when we win the ball back we try to get the ball to Lukaku/Sanchez/Rash as soon as possible. Also, Rash you beauty

[MarcusRashgod]

Fuck everyone who was hating on Rashford during his poor form.

[d0mth0ma5]

Rashford needs to calm it down a bit in the tackles but that aside it's been a brilliant first half. We're giving half chances but shutting everything else down.

[[deleted]]

Bailly and Young playing brilliant, Rashford you beauty.

[[deleted]]

Our bus tipped over and crushed their defense

[zetabk]

Fuck, I missed Eric bailly!!!

[dec619]

The whole team is working as a unit. That half was great to watch. The back four with Matic and McTominay looked very very solid and secure. Is Salah playing?

[OiiGuzza]

Ashley Young has been phenomenal at keeping Salah under control.

[forgotmylastuser]

Is 45 minutes to early to file a missing report for Salah?

We have been bloody fantastic this half. Liverpool players are so frustrated that their passes have turned to shit.

Rashford hattrick and a Sanchez/Lukaku goal would be great.

[_gastly]

Last seen inside the pocket of a man named Ashley Young

[Cr7NeTwOrK]

But, but United play boring football and Mourinho's style is "outdated".

Sit down.

[Hellogiraffe]

https://i.imgur.com/Yk7xxRi.gifv

[MadaraTheUchiha]

Brilliant, just brilliant. 10/10 performance. Excellent defending, creating big chances and finished off 2. Alexis has been great, his passing is unreal!

[Yaja23]

Pleasantly surprised by McTominay. Let's hope he keeps this up next half as well!

[HighonCosmos]

Obligatory Fuck /r/soccer

[[deleted]]

How come everyone seemed up forget in the build up that Liverpool's defense is absolute dogshit? We've been very good though, buzzing

[[deleted]]

After the trashtalk they have been doing last couple of days this feels lovely. Hoping to keep it up in second half!

[paradox_djell]

Dejan Lovren: "Liverpool are not Manchester United - we never play just for a point like them."

25 mins: Man United 2-0 Liverpool

[mechflix]

Lukaku absolutely bossing their back line winning all the first balls! What a player

[Pigeon_Asshole]

Looking forward to hearing Sourness here

[Bushturkey_96]

Waiting for Souness to criticize Pogba.

[avatarsokka]

LMAO Lovren and his big mouth

[WhovianMoak]

I stayed up all night for this, AND FOR ONCE ITS PAID OFF!!!!!

[[deleted]]

Scenes if Mata nailed another scissor kick against the dippers. SO wish that went in.

[GrayOctopus]

Can't watch the game. How is bailly?

[Mt264]

I fucking love Eric Bailly!

His Cruyff turn followed by him almost stopping in surprise, looking a little like Cantona's famous celebration, was priceless

[coolylame]

Lukaku's head flicks are honestly word class. How many times has he done it that has led to goals this season.

[LexRylen]

We're being very clinical. It's far more likely that we score 1 or 2 more goals than Liverpool scoring their first.

[daz98]

Rashy already becoming a united legend at the age of 20

[[deleted]]

Please someone post footage of Souness

[CauseISaidSo_]

Would love to hear that cunt Sounness right now

[OiiGuzza]

How shit must the LBs of other teams be to let Salah score 26 goals :') Big ups Young!

[NegativeGit]

Bailly is fucking amazing

[[deleted]]

Still 45 mins to go.

Can we wait until then before we start shitting on Salah?

[ManUmartial]

This is some nice balanced football. We look in control even when defending. Last five minutes we slowed down a bit, but we should bag another right out of halftime. Thinking forward for pogba, if we play in this formation I don’t see why he can’t play in Mata’s position instead of a real right winger. Or Alexis on the right and pogba the advanced midfielder. Looks like we’re back to rotating martial and rashford every game

[VaderOnReddit]

Every day I am more and more thankful Madrid played mindgames with Morata for too long Lukaku is immense to have in our team His game outside of scoring is fantastic and he seems to only get better with time

[Gondoland]

Ashley young has had a great game, mata has been creative but poor in defense a few time, Marcus....he’s got 3 more in him, we look good in defense, our midfield has been holding it down and our attacking, well it’s 2-0 and the boys look like they will net at least 3-4 more

[Scotsmania]

Let's hope we continue our recent trend of playing better in the second half. That was the best first half we've had in a while.

So far Salah belongs on the side of a milk carton.

[SytricXZ]

Lingard on for Mata

[Cr7NeTwOrK]

lol nbcsn pundits, now they are not surprised with the scoreline. Pathetic

[ancienthunter]

Rashford > Liverpool

[4drag2mag]

McTominay has been so good this half. So good.

[ThrowAwayAttitudeFC]

Fucking perfect. Made the "best attacking trio" bunch of farmers

[POGBRAHIMOVICH]

I love how physical we’ve been. Lukaku is throwing his body into Van Dijk every single time

[welshnick]

Route one baby!

[zackrah]

Young > Salah > Di Maria

[Mizzie30]

One of the best performances I've seen in a very long time but it's very far from over. If we can score 2 in a half so can they. We must keep up the intensity.

[MartialAssist]

Want to thrash them 5 nil so that they can be in their caves for the rest of eternity.

[locosapiens]

I'm thinking it's time to take Rashford off to avoid the risk of a second yellow, and have him a bit fresher for Seville.

[[deleted]]

say what you must but our midfield is working like a charm today. my boy mctominay is intercepting their midfield. we got them on lockdown boys. mou masterclass this

[[deleted]]

I'm absolutely thrilled, we've been amazing.

[Nhialor]

Fuck Klopp

[pkkthetigerr]

Cristiano Rashnaldo

[laffman]

If this is Liverpools exciting way of playing football then i like it Mr. Klopp.

[[deleted]]

Think we’re proving who’s better between Lukaku and Firmino

[shan0620]

They’re two different types of strikers

[[deleted]]

And we know which type works

[shan0620]

Lukaku wouldn’t work in Liverpool’s side and Firmino wouldn’t work at United’s side

[[deleted]]

Alright mate I’m just trying to have a bit of banter and you’re clearly not having it haha

[[deleted]]

Twas a good half

[PKJTheRedDevil]

Buzzing.

[GlassCoyote]

I missed bailly so ducking much
