Alright. Not feeling too great about today if I'm honest. 4th place door is wide open for Liverpool after Newcastle and Tottenham crapped the bed yesterday. Varane faces a fitness test today. If he doesn't start, I imagine we'll see Martinez and Lindelof. If we see Maguire instead, I'll feel even less great about today than I already do.

I am going to do a run through this thread and see if there was a day when you did feel great about a game beforehand.
It's Liverpool, all you should feel is hate! Let's go kick the s- out of them!
Varane makes the lineup!
Rashford-Weghorst-Antony
Bruno-
-Casemiro-Fred
Shaw-Lisandro-Varane-Dalot
-DeGea-
Rashford-Weghorst-Antony
Bruno-
-Casemiro-Fred
Shaw-Lisandro-Varane-Dalot
-DeGea-
My formative years were spent as an Aggies fan and an Oilers fan. I'm permanently scarred man.
How does Bruno not get that to fall in
Headers are not his forte.
We gotta get Weghorst out of this shadow striker/attacking mid role. Don't even have to sub him out. Just rotate everyone into their proper positions.
Pretty even half. Like to see AWB for Dalot and Garnacho for Wout. Move Bruno back into the middle
ETH has been making all the right halftime adjustments. He will need to earn his pay today. Liverpool had been horrible in midfield most of the season and need to be paid to work there.
We'll need different halftime adjustments…
Welp.
Awful defending today. Shambolic
Players are gassed and making just rudimentary errors. Last couple of games have been won with substandard performances and it's catching up to them. A convenient excuse perhaps but I don't think it's invalid. ETH has done an admirable job of trying to rotate but this game every 3-4 days for the last 3 months has killed us. Casemiro, Martinez...players who you'd have bet your house on to play well are not.
Be interesting to see what comes from this. I don't think it will backslide into a chasm of losses but I do think it might make ETH rethink how he plans for the coming games. This feels like the moment when it became clear he was asking a little too much of some of his key players because of the big drop off in talent between them and their backups.

Matches like this that reinforce that we are still pretenders.
This is what happens when we don't finish off great chances early in the game
Absolute embarrassment
Even if this turns into 7-0 I'm not going to let one game ruin what has been 30+ games of progress. Everyone learned from 6-3 away to City. They'll learn from this too even if it's a painful lesson.
I may have to amend that tweet to say 10-0. Yikes.
dont care how good Ten Hagg has been giving up 7 to this Liverpool team is a red flag
Ummmm WTF

I was right twice! In one day! I'll take it!
'preciate y'all!
Man. This is more disappointing than the result.
Y'all don't really want Spurs in the top four.

Congratulations?
Aggie/Oiler fan myself so I understand. Hopefully we got all the bad out today.
Reports that some staff and players are considering Bruno's suitability for captaincy. He's technically only the vice captain but the de facto captain in reality since Maguire doesn't play much.
He's a colossal ass at times but I do think he has demonstrated a lot of the qualities you want in a captain. He usually runs his ass off and he rarely shirks defensive responsibilities. But his petulance isn't exactly a trait you want in a captain and when it comes out in spades, it's a massive leadership hinderance.
Nothing will change till the end of the season but will be interesting to see what happens in the summer. Maguire is likely gone then but even if he isn't, there's no way he remains captain. Wouldn't be surprised to see another player besides Bruno promoted into that role.

Varane would be a good candidate, possibly Casemiro?
I love how much other team's fans loathe Bruno, but he really needs to mature to be considered as the full time Captain

Thought this was a really good article summarizing the current state of the sale of the club. For those that don't have access, I will try and summarize.

- Jassim and Ratcliffe have entered "stage 2" of the process but given that United is a public company with publicly available, detailed financial reports, it's not an incredibly long process.
- The real reason for it is for Raine/the Glazers to stall for more bids or increased bids.
- Raine sold the Glazers on a 6 billion GBP bid but it hasn't come to fruition and is unlikely to.
- Raine based the valuation on the Chelsea sale but not reasonable to assume that United is worth double the amount of Chelsea; clear that both Jassim and Ratcliffe have submitted bids that are a more logical assessment of United's value.

That's a lot of words to say "the Glazers are getting greedy. Very greedy"

Tonight it's the starting 11 you would expect though I pray that it has Weghorst as a striker rather than as this pseudo attacking mid.
Weghorst in the 9
