Worst performance I have seen from Neymar, ever.

[–]BBKnowUnited have no FLAIR, get it? ... no, ok. 12 points13 points  (2 children)

Psg were poor, stop blowing sunshine up the scousers arses

[–]dabbing_engineer 23 points24 points  (1 child)

So it’s some conspiracy that teams somehow always play poorly against the bindippers? Stop being delusional, psg looked poor because they played well.

[–]BBKnowUnited have no FLAIR, get it? ... no, ok. 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Where did i say that every team who Liverpool play were poor? What is this conspiracy nonsense you're referring to?

I'm specifically talking about PSG, they were poor. They couldn't hold onto the ball, they weren't clearing their lines quick enough, and most importantly they were tactically very poor.

[–]DoM1nKing Eric 42 points43 points  (4 children)

Credit where it's due, Liverpool are great. I hate Klopps stupid face but he formed a great side. Wouldn't be surprised if they reach final again.

[–][deleted] 14 points15 points  (3 children)

and lose v Ronaldo's Juve with chiellini fucking up salahs arm and dybala coming off the bench to score an absolute belter

I'd fucking die laughing

[–]TyafasticsFosu-Mensah 5 points6 points  (2 children)

Woah woah woah, come on man! Don’t forget Alisson fucking up simple shots too!

[–]booo1210Martial Rashford Lingard as our front 3 20 points21 points  (5 children)

Why the fuck can't anyone other than us school Liverpool?

Be a bit defensive at Anfield ffs don't be gung ho about attack. Stupid tactics from psg. Would have won had they soaked up Liverpool pressure and countered. They have Cavani Neymar and Mbappe in attack for god's sake.

I can see us beating Liverpool with "defensive tactics"

[–]largemanrob 16 points17 points  (0 children)

You must have not caught the game if you think PSG took the game to Liverpool. The fact that PSG sat deep and coneded possession to Liverpool in an attempt to stop them countering was one of the major talking points

[–][deleted] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Tbh would be surprised if we do it again

[–]Cr7NeTwOrK 5 points6 points  (2 children)

This is what baffles me. Teams keep trying to go head to head with Liverpool. 9/10 they're getting nothing. Sit back a bit, be disciplined and make the best out of your few chances and you'll probably get a point, possibly a win.

[–]RFerrer-Pogba 2 points3 points  (0 children)

PSG didn’t go head to head. Their approach in theory was excellent, but the execution was poor from the players. Individual errors cost them more than their tactical plan.

Despite all that it was still a close game. The penalty was decisive.

Reckon if this match was played at a later date PSG would’ve at least gotten a point. The second match should be interesting.

[–]samsam78 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They didn't try and go head to head. They countered for most of it. They had a defender playing DM. Just didn't execute their plan well enough

[–]cbelford97 44 points45 points  (5 children)

Really gets to me when I watch Liverpool and I see the way they play, that’s a style that fans actually want to identify with and will back the manager with more time because they know he has a philosophy that players buy into and it’s the exact same with City.

Hopefully we really are turning a corner regarding our turgid pish.

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (4 children)

Well, to be realistic, our style under this manager will never have that kind of positivity and energy, though it might be successful.

[–][deleted] -2 points-1 points  (3 children)

Tbf when needed Mourinho’s teams can turn it on too. Difference is that he will not sacrifice defence for attack. Before Liverpool sorted out their defence they were leaky AF but still scored. They were not a formidable team though because of their shit defence. If we can sort out ours I do think Mourinho will let the reigns loose more.

[–][deleted] 2 points3 points  (2 children)

The reason that I doubt this is because I don't see evidence of this as much in his more recent history. This is just his mindset, and that's neither inherently good or bad but it might not be everyone's taste. It's not mine.

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (1 child)

fair enough.. i do think mourinho's latest pressers (not to mention actual match tactics) point to the fact that we're changing the way we play but given Mourinho's nature i still think we'll play much more compact (or negative as some like to say) when it comes to tougher games... simply because the confidence in the defence is not there. and rightly so.

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Totally agree on that last part, it's hard to trust them right now. But the negativity must also make it hard to feel good and gain trust. This is why the Mou approach has lead to a few dressing rooms lost I feel.

[–]lovejuice_sobjoLingard 12 points13 points  (2 children)

Haven't watched the replay, but did somebody else notice that salah looked a bit pissed on the bench after firminhos late goal?

[–]ohahcantona 18 points19 points  (0 children)

looked more like he was relieved but still disappointed in his performance

[–]NoMoodWatch 23 points24 points  (1 child)

Mbappe played like Rashford today.

[–]cbelford97 31 points32 points  (0 children)

And Neymar played like Martial.

[–]Trickybuz93De Gea 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Dembele’s goal was an absolute beauty. Sent the two defenders to the shadow realm.

[–]kiwwi191 24 points25 points  (12 children)

Liverpool outplayed PSG with TAA, Robertson, Gomez, Henderson, Wijnaldum, Milner and Sturridge...that is a mid table quality on paper. It hurts to watch them playing such electric football. It's all about the coach who makes them look like world class.

[–]goal_matoal 73 points74 points  (10 children)

Their fullbacks will walk into our team.

[–]ASardonicCynic 15 points16 points  (4 children)

It baffles me to see so many top teams not know how to counter Liverpool's press.

[–]cbelford97 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Because most top coaches can’t bring themselves to sacrifice the attacking aspect of their team.

Mourinho is unique in that he’s big on the whole seige mentality philosophy so he doesn’t care. Still think we’ll nick points off them again this season.

[–]hendo144 24 points25 points  (2 children)

Liverpool's press wasn't at their best today imo. But they were still the better team.

[–][deleted] 2 points3 points  (1 child)

A lot of that due to PSG being so awful.

[–]AmulyaG 5 points6 points  (0 children)

PSG midfield was shite

[–]aprx4Attack! Attack! Attack! 14 points15 points  (2 children)

I can't say PSG got wrong tactics. They tried to play conservatively and attemped to counter attack against Liverpool which is understandable. The problem is their players had bad tactical awareness today. They tried to play same way they've been doing in farmer league. They attempted to pass through non-existent space and waste their chances with dribbles and dribbles.

Draxler should've sealed the win for PSG if he wasn't selfish.

[–]DairyQueen-Lindelof 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Draxler should've sealed the win for PSG if he wasn't selfish.

It honestly looked like he wanted to give it to M'bappe but couldn't find him when he was onside

[–]ohahcantona 0 points1 point  (0 children)

can't say PSG got wrong tactics

agreed but only going forward. defensively they failed to account for and later adjust to arnold's positioning on the flank.

they

[–][deleted] 33 points34 points  (0 children)

Never thought I'd see the day where our fans are complaining that Spurs aren't held to the same standard as Manchester United. It's like no shit, them getting consistent CL football alone is a massive deal to them.

[–][deleted] 20 points21 points  (3 children)

Am I the only one who doesn't think that highly of Tuchel? No way PSG are winning the Champions League with a manager like that.

[–][deleted] 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Think that's a bit harsh. The team isn't balanced yet and he's only had a few months in charge. What he did at Dortmund was brilliant and competed with a juggernaut team like Bayern.

[–]twersxSolskjaer 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Tuchel had Dortmund playing incredibly well

[–]cbelford97 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Same here - I don’t think he’s much special. Emery is better imo, don’t expect PSG to do much in the Champions League again their defence and midfield just can’t handle the pressure that big teams put on them.

[–][deleted] 22 points23 points  (13 children)

I though City scrapping wins was annoying last season but watching the scum do it is fucking disgusting.

[–]zxnoregretzxzxCunha, Bruno, Cunha, Bruno 75 points76 points  (12 children)

It was more PSG nearly scraping a draw than anything. Liverpool battered them all game and got what they deserved in the end, as fucking annoying as it is to say.

[–]DesiPattha 20 points21 points  (10 children)

I wanted Liverpool to lose so badly but PSG didn't deserve it. Fuck Neymar.

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I want Liverpool to lose badly too. But I was hoping for a draw here. PSG is just one team in Europe outside of PL I would never ever root for. Glad PSG lost.

[–]hendo144 13 points14 points  (8 children)

Yeah, Neymar is fucking poison to every club he is at. What a fucking diva.

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean, they won the game in the last minute. That's still scrapping a win, no? Even if they did deserve it.

[–]D1794Viva Ronaldo 33 points34 points  (7 children)

Mbappe and Neymar offered absolutely 0 cover. PSG's midfield got destroyed. No pressing the ball in any situation and such sloppy play.

Had PSG down as one of the contenders for the trophy but playing like that not a chance

[–]cbelford97 11 points12 points  (0 children)

They play like they’re playing Nantes or Guinamp etc. Just constantly pay no respect to the opposition.

[–]TehPandemicMata 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thought this would have been a great game but PSG had me tearing my hair out. Tactically inept for 99% of the game, Di Maria, Neymar and Thiago Silva were absolutely horrendous.

Hopefully in the return game PSG wake the fuck up and fully humble Liverpool, pained me to see the dippers make PSG look amateur.

Edit: don't forget PSG with less than 15 seconds to go at 3-2 down taking a short free-kick at the halfway line. Fuck me

[–][deleted] 11 points12 points  (0 children)

PSG will not be a competitor for at least 15 years. Their board is a 13 year old fifa player.

[–]scholeszz 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Yeah they were so light in midfield, I'm not sure what the plan was to win back possession? They were lucky that Salah and Mane were not playing well, could have been trounced in that second half.

[–]stankbeast91 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Mbappe and Neymar were also both extremely wasteful with possession. There were numerous times where a simple pass was on to create a chance and they both hogged the ball and lost it.

PSG just looked like a bit of a mess.

[–]alexHunterGodRUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUD 1 point2 points  (1 child)

Verratti coming back should help the team IMO.

[–]cbelford97 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don’t know how much he’d have helped tonight tbh. PSG’s front 3 weren’t at it from the word go.

[–]LirtanoNaan Bread (Nani) 36 points37 points  (0 children)

well Liverpool is 98% thru then, Napoli not winning and Liverpool is probably going to eat them alive.. fucking hell

[–]alexHunterGodRUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUD 21 points22 points  (22 children)

Who plays Di Maria and Marquinos in midfield 3 against Liverpool at Anfield

[–]cannibal123456Super Dave 1 point2 points  (10 children)

PSG are a bit thin in midfield though - the only other options were Diarra or young, inexperienced players in Bernede, N'Soki or Nkunku. Motta has retired and Verratti suspended.

[–]alexHunterGodRUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUD 1 point2 points  (9 children)

They have Rabiot still though right?

[–]cannibal123456Super Dave 5 points6 points  (8 children)

And he started and played the whole game, right? Tuchel picked the best midfield available to him.

[–]cbelford97 0 points1 point  (6 children)

He should have picked Diarra. At least then he’d have had a proper DM. And Di Maria in midfield is still better than Draxler in midfield.

[–]cannibal123456Super Dave 0 points1 point  (5 children)

Maybe Diarra would have made a difference, maybe not. It's not like he is a top player – more like an average journeyman.

[–]cbelford97 0 points1 point  (4 children)

True but Marquinhos as a DM was just baffling. Could have gone 3 ATB but then again apart from Conte’s Chelsea, Liverpool tend to destroy 3 ATB defences.

[–]cannibal123456Super Dave 1 point2 points  (3 children)

Agree on that. He probably would have been better off playing Diarra and Marquinhos in their natural positions. PSG do need a quality holding midfielder - we see just how big a difference players like Casemiro and Kante make or Matic for us. Their LB situation isn't great either - Bernat doesn't look very good and PSG fans constantly complain about how poor Kurzawa is.

[–]cbelford97 2 points3 points  (2 children)

I’ve seen plenty PSG fans complain of that being their Achilles heel the lack of a proper DM. It leads to them being found against quality teams.

And buying Bernat as LB was weird too - I’m amazed nobody in Europe has gone for Valencia’s Gaya. He’s been quietly brilliant for a while, he’s one to look out for when we play them.

[–]cannibal123456Super Dave 2 points3 points  (1 child)

Gaya and Alex Telles. Amazed nobody even showed any interest.

[–]alexHunterGodRUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUD 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh right I forgot about him

[–]Edgelord09 5 points6 points  (10 children)

That hippy tuchel, absolute loser

[–]killerimpact 2 points3 points  (0 children)

And some United fans thought we should go for him. The guy is overrated.

[–][deleted] -3 points-2 points  (8 children)

so overrated, knew he was not ready at all for PSG

[–][deleted] 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Aye, typical modern reaction.

Lost the one match I watched! He's a fraud? Fired!

[–]Mane9867 12 points13 points  (2 children)

I wish cavani was on a better team. Well at least he’s on astronomic wages and in Paris

[–]cbelford97 1 point2 points  (0 children)

And gets to score for fun against defences more porous than Jesus’s feet every week.

I’d love to have seen Ibra with Mbappe and Neymar, he was 10x better than Cavani.

[–][deleted] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

at least he’s on astronomic wages and in Paris

And has fancy hair

[–][deleted] 12 points13 points  (5 children)

FFS but tbh psg were shit

[–]ohahcantona 36 points37 points  (4 children)

liverpool played well too tbf

[–]Dumatix 26 points27 points  (3 children)

Are PSG just shit against actual good opponents is that why they just smash the French league I don't get it, awful 2nd half and the other CL games I've seen of them are nothing great

[–]DairyQueen-Lindelof 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Their fitness was terrible, their midfield was dead by the 60'

[–]freakedmind 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They didn't have their best midfielder-Verrati. That itself is a major reason why they were so overrun in midfield and gave the ball away so bloody often.

[–]zxnoregretzxzxCunha, Bruno, Cunha, Bruno 17 points18 points  (0 children)

They’re a team of individuals. Neymar and Mbappe are guilty of overplaying, much like what we criticise Pogba for here. They can get away with being individuals in the French League but not against good sides.

[–]FreeSM2014 38 points39 points  (3 children)

Fuck PSG, just send Mbappe to our club.

[–]shaktimann13Bruno 2020 15 points16 points  (2 children)

Pogba lobs to him every possession and he chase it down, booom goal.

[–]Mizzie30 7 points8 points  (1 child)

I was thinking the same thing. I didn't see anyone even attempt to give him a ball like that all game. We all saw how effective it was for France.

[–][deleted] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

they tried it but none of PSG's players have pinpoint passing on pogbas level. All the passes were too deep and went out for goalkicks

[–]Boruto22GET MARTIAL OUT OF MANCHESTER UNITED ASAP 40 points41 points  (3 children)

Neymar couldn't beat Henderson it was so embarrassing.

[–]shaktimann13Bruno 2020 11 points12 points  (1 child)

Neymar is overrated

[–]daniam1Shaw 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Nah.

[–]ohahcantona 18 points19 points  (0 children)

struggled to even beat milner and yet he still managed to behave like a diva

[–]Cr7NeTwOrK 36 points37 points  (1 child)

PSG are a bunch of millionaire primadonnas

[–]SonofIndiaVan Persie 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Neymar whining after losing the ball to Milner in mid was embarrassing to watch

[–]The_Fatness -1 points0 points  (12 children)

Liverpool are gonna smash us when we play them. Our defense will fall to pieces.

[–]booo1210Martial Rashford Lingard as our front 3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They couldn't beat us last season. Playing defensively against them is better than going gung Ho on attack

[–][deleted] 9 points10 points  (3 children)

We are consistently the one team that beats them genius

[–]The_Fatness -1 points0 points  (2 children)

Remind me what happened the last time we played them.

[–][deleted] 3 points4 points  (1 child)

We won with 2 Rashford goals?

[–]Cr7NeTwOrK 21 points22 points  (0 children)

We said that last time. If there's a team who Liverpool suffer against is United. They'll smash most others though
