Carrick and Fellaini midfield

Not sure if I can be bothered to watch. I spent the vast majority of last week's match looking at my phone instead* and that was when the tie was still in the balance.

*surfing the internet, not just watching it sit on the table

Srsly? No room for Ander? Xp

groin strain

Amazing assist from Susaeta vs Valencia. There was a clear handball in the buildup and GNev is going nuts.

Assist from Garcia, handball from Susaeta.

Flick is pretty sensational

That's some strike

Aww fuck it all to shit

both pool and united looking woeful

Not fussed about that really, match has got a pretty good boil going on

that Darmian sub

vintage van Gaal

89 min: Ryan Giggs has made his way down to the touchline, making a point of looking miserable. A political play, perhaps.

he's at it again

Crowd trouble

really?

Listening on the radio, so no idea if it's any big deal.

"I have seen three red seats from the Liverpools ection being thrown into the Manchester United fans. Seats are being thrown.

"Uefa will take action - mark my words."

from bbc sport. : ( - ffs.

huh I was watching at a bar with the sound off and had no idea

propah nawty

dunno - think that might be a bit dramatic from bbc sport, i'm not seeing any significant mention of it elsewhere.

that one is more just strange - welbeck would solve everything? but not chicharito obviously since he's foreign.

lol welbeck, evans, fletcher are obv what utd are crying out for, di maria and hernandez not so much.

In fairness Scholes has been banging on ad nauseum about how they should sign Modric, Pogba and Varane as if it's that easy.

thought mcmanaman mentioning evans and fletcher was a subtle dig tbh, jonny evans was a liability more often than not

braga v shakhtar
villareal v sparta prague
bilbao v sevilla

oh fuck
dortmund v liverpool

well thats that then, still will be fun to watch. didn't fancy our chances vs any of dortmund, sevilla, villareal tbh

damn

rigged, surely

Aubemayang is going to do some pretty humiliating things to Sakho and Lovren.

sahko and lovren are good now

all the draws are rigged

that is my 'conspiracy theories you actually believe in'. football draws. all rigged

the cl draw is even more suspicious

that is my 'conspiracy theories you actually believe in'. football draws. all rigged.

blind eye to leicester on the roids etc

What was in that pizza Ranieri fed them etc

Sahko and Lovren were good against an 18 year old who's played a handful of senior games. Dortmund will destroy Liverpoool

nah. I know how bad Utd are. I just don't think Liverpool are very good either

i've worn that suit before. and will wear it again.

I haven't seen too much of Liverpool under Klopp but I'm sure they're playing better under him, not least because he knows how to coach and structure a midfield that can protect the back four. Still, Alderweireld and Wimmer are better and Aubameyang destroyed them.

Get in

Got them rattled here

everyone has been moving so slowly, took me a minute to realize that it's probably the field?

good result. ive been impressed with lovren lately. i think this team is finally getting its groove on.

knew that'd come back to haunt me :P

Liverpool were fairly solid tonight, worked hard, but I thought Dortmund were disappointingly unimaginative. Lot of aimless crosses

haha yeah never predict, just gloat after the desired result.
