Man United v Liverpool 15th of Jan 2017

One of the biggest games in world football deserves a thread of its own. Gareme Souness joint 11 is absolutely hilarious:

De Gea
Clyne
Matip
Lovren
Milner
Carrick
Henderson
Lallana
Mata
Coutinho
Zatlan.

Carrick, Henderson and Lallana ahead of Pogba :smiley:

There’s enough shit football threads on the board already.

On the basis of seeing Liverpool last night albeit in second half only, Man U should win handy enough .

United are max bet of the year here if they are anything above evens for the win

5 English players in it.

Lolz.

Souness is one little Englander.

The 3 English midfielders he picked couldn’t get in the English team that lost to Iceland at the euros.

Not that i’m agreeing with the team he picked - but does form stand still ? can players improve/slide ?

I don’t rate Henderson or Lallana massively, but their stats and form in the premier league this year have been as good as anyone’s in the league, if not the best for their positions. Now, feel free to dig up the stats to disprove that but judging a player by not being picked for England 8 months ago is just stupid.

You’re either trying very hard or not the brightest chap - i’m still undecided.

Would any manager on the planet pick any of those 3 ahead of pogba for the game on Sunday?

Plenty. Pogba has been average at best. He’s performed against the dross but has been found wanting in plenty of games so far. I think you won’t see the best of him until next year possibly.

And by your logic - Pogba was also very average in the Euros and was dropped for the CH game I think, but was only brought on as his replacement was even worse - He was played out of position a lot tho tbf. Personally I don’t think he is a CM but an attacker and should be played a lot further up the pitch than he is.

Pogba has been brilliant the last two months. The squirming you’d do would be funny if he destroys you on Sunday.

Liverpool will win this Sunday.

Souness proving why he never really made a success of the management game.

He certainly hasn’t had a better season from August to January than Henderson or Lallana. I’d have him in ahead of Carrick in a midfield 3, though.

I’m guessing that Souness’s team is based on form this season but I didn’t see the article.

Man Utd have played no one over the last 6-7 weeks and Pogba has indeed been good - I also said you possibly won’t see the best of him until next season. I’d imagine my life won’t change in the slightest should he score 10 goals on Sunday, mate.

I didn’t even look at the team and didn’t realise Carrick was in there - :joy: – Carrick ahead of Pogba is a stretch

Souey mugging off the United fans again.

He has fellas like @anon32894817 and @dodgy_keeper wound up like a spring

I’m not wound up at all. I actually found it amusing.
