The moaning I've seen today about a draw against Liverpool only really tells me one thing, people have suddenly changed their expectations.

Not saying that's a good thing or a bad thing really, it's good that people are suddenly more confident but I think people probably need to be more realistic and remember what their targets for this season were at the start.

I think City and Liverpool are still better than us but the table at the moment says otherwise, sure city will go above us soon though but it's a weird season and who knows what will happen. I love us being up there, I don't love what that does to fans who suddenly think we should be smashing 5 past a team that haven't lost at home for 68 games.

Dear me GDS

No one is saying we should have smashed in 5. However, why did we set up so negatively? That’s my frustration, not trying to win. My expectation is for United to try to win, not set up like an underdog.

I can't belive how bad people think liverpool are .
Vvd is out for the season so can we write the scouse off this year?
I will still be surprised if they don't win it.

Nobody thinks we should be scoring 5 past liverpool. But to actually try and win the match rather than come for the draw would be nice. Look what villa did to them when a team actually attacks them.

Stand
Gomez and VVD played against villa when they got stuffed 7.2.

Jred, what’s your point? Just strengthens my point that they can be got at if you be positive against them. And we played a weaker Liverpool than villa did. Why not take our game to them rather than contain and hope for one or two chances. We’re not clinical enough to play that way with Rashford and martial they just aren’t clinical enough.

My point is that Liverpool are a good team, have been for a few year and if you go toe to toe with them it won't end well .
Mane Bobby and salah are a very good front 3 .

You say look at what villa did to them, thst was a full strength Liverpool team . Looking at them over the last few year I think thst was a one off . Have a look at how many times Liverpool have taken teams apart.

my only target gds is for ole to stop playing the jose tacticts and been given a free ride for it. yes we are top of the league but we were top of are champs league groop and look were that got us. the quicker he's gone the better. he should be judejed like any other manager.

Daz,

Do you think if Jose had been top of the league the club would have sacked him? No, me either. The fact is that he wasn’t, we were really struggling and with boring football on top, so he was fired, quite correctly. Other clubs fans would laugh their heads off at some of the comments on here, sack the manager while he’s top of the league, it’s absolute madness and never going to happen.

How many other man utd managers got fired when top of the league?

{Ed0666's Note - not enough if you ask me.

Jred and GDS2
Can't you guys see that this is the most vulnerable and weakest Liverpool side we have played in years? Even the "very good" front 3 have failed to score for the past 3 league games. Is it so hard for you to see that that was the best chance we have had for years to actually try and compete with, maybe even beat and we played the whole game with the mentality and approach of "don't lose" football.

The fear of losing was much more evident to see than the desire to win. Do you guys really believe that not creating that much chances to have a go at the CB pairing of 2 midfielders is good enough?

I see people dissatisfied with the approach not with the result but maybe it's because I don't have the same belief as you guys that OGS is the Messiah and can do no wrong.

I mean. our front 3 haven’t scored in our last 4 games and 2 of those have come against Watford and Brighton. It’s all well and good pointing out that Liverpool’s attacking trio are going through a poor run of form, but Greenwood, Rashford and Martial have all been poor this season when compared to the end of the last one.

The team played it perfectly - but for Bruno and Pogba mussing two excellent chances we walk away with all three points. We contained their starting front three superbly too. Incredulous the grief this team are getting. We are top of the league. I don’t expect us to win it this year, I think City are the team to stop, but we are getting better.

Redseven exactly pal and also this vulnerable liverpool haven't lost at home for 3 year .

Its amazing that people, so called experts on here 🙄 are still banging the cm at cb . Henderson 100% its a fair point but fabinho can 100% play at cb .

Liverpool were there for the taken, however, I understand Oles pragmatic approach, he is a fairly defensive manager.

But I do hope it gives him confidence to be a bit more expansive against them in the cup.

{Ed047's Note - Angel when it’s been muted on here that this is your best squad since Fergie left, that your defence is now sound, that Pogba is world class again and that Bruno is better than De Bruyne and Liverpool were there for the taking then that performance was abysmal.

You never even made them look like they were there for the taking when they are so out of form yet still only a few points behind you.

You only needed to watch the City game in the cup to see in truth that’s rubbish. You only need to see your 2nd string underperforming regularly to know it’s rubbish.

There maybe progress but it isn’t really any great progress, being top of the table is skewing the perspective of too many.

It’s pointless getting over excited whilst you have just the one shining light in Bruno Fernandez who sadly goes missing and turns into a little whiner when he’s needed most.

Jred; Liverpool’s home record will continue as long as managers like Ole go there scared to play and setting up for a draw. It was a pathetic effort and set up from the off.

This is getting worse, pathetic draw at Anfield, I’m laughing.

These silly posts saying that I think Ole is the Messiah are a bit daft too, if you’ve read my posts I’ve said I don’t think Ole is the long term solution and that I would have got rid after the game in Istanbul, but since then we have improved, the results have been good and some of the performances have been a lot better. I still think we are a way off despite the league position but even Ken has realised that a club aren’t going to sack a manager that is top of the league and its utter madness to suggest it at the moment!

Exactly no one is saying ole is the messiah etc infact most have said city and Liverpool are better .
Doesn't fit the narrative so it gets ignored.

Ed047, I'm no Ole fan, I think with this team, we should be doing a lot better. I think if it was a better manager in the same position the other night, we would have gone for it, maybe not in the first half but definitely in the second.

However, we don't have a great coach and he is extremely defensive. I think he is afraid to be more expansive.

You read my posts mate, I'm not getting excited by it at all. I'm a realist and from what I've seen so far, we are a good bit away from really being truly competitive, we are very lucky it's a weird season and Liverpool nor city have found any sort of real gear.

For now, I'm just enjoying it, game by game. Well, not really enjoying the games because the football has been atrocious a lot of the time. I am just enjoying it result by result.
