I see Rojo is with the travelling party to Lisbon today, I didn't think he was that close. Zlatan close to returning also.

Not that I'd take the word of a journo on The Sunday Supplement as worth that much he does raise some interesting contrary views to the standard Mourinho 'park the bus' crap. I said it on here Saturday after the match, Mourinho was let down  by some of his players who simply played poorly on the day.

True some players performed very poorly. I did say before the game if Manchester United played as poor as they did against Stoke they would lose but they were much better defensively against Liverpool than they were against Stoke and was the main reason why they earned the draw.

Surprised me when I read it yesterday, good to see him back as Jones can't be too far of getting injured.

I seen something that said in the last 10 away games against the 'big 5' United have not scored in 8 of games.  While I think Klopp was as much to blame as Mourinho on Sunday, I definitely don't see the value in trying for a point in these games that are very winnable.  There is not much of a win in taking the point, its only 1 more than you get for a loss.  Alternatively,United had Martial, Lukaku, Mhikitaryan etc in the final third of the pitch on Sunday therefore a lof of the blame has to lay with them too.  They are meant to be attacking players and its not Mourinho's fault if they play as poorly as they did.

Interesting opinion I don't remember Liverpool lining up with 6 at the back?!

What 6 defenders did United play?

For a manager that was 'going for it', strange to see Klopp take off his best two attacking players with a good 15 minutes to go.

Anytime Liverpool had the ball in MF the full backs tucked into the box and the wingers played as full backs then.

Did you watch the match?

I would have thought it fairly obvious that with Salah and Coutinho playing 2 games and travelling long distances in a short space of time that it was inevitable they would be taken off.

Not that I'm some great Liverpool supporter but Jose bottled it and that is the reason City will win the title!!

Salah and Coutinho must have been the only two that played two games and travelled big distances.

So they didn't play with 6 defenders then just asked their midfielders to defend when the other team had the ball? A fairly regular state of affairs I'd say. City won't win the league cause Jose bottles it they'll win cause they're a better team..

Liverpool cannot score in the last fifteen minutes, United do nothing but score in the last fifteen minutes, Klopp probably settled for a draw at the 70 minute mark, Mourinho settled for a pointon the bus on the way to the stadium.

Mourinho would get rightly pissed off if Klopp started substituting off united players....
