This isn't going well
I hope this is our bad half but I fear this is our good one.
26 different back 4 lineups and 12 different CB pairs.
Not many teams would win consistently doing that. Unless you are Man Dhabi and just possess and score at will that kind of decimation in the back is trouble.

Given up 14 or 15 shots already and have 0 shots on goal 38 minutes in
I'm not looking to win consistently at the moment. At the moment, I'd settle for a shot. Any shot.
Diaz whining and he did that to himself.
Bruno has been terrible today. So wasteful with his passing
Well. Safe to say that the best thing about that half is that we are only down 1-0.
Are we playing in Manchester? Because one team definitely looks like they are playing a confident home match and the other looks like they took a transatlantic flight last night.

Bruno is exhausted physically and mentally. He never misses games and it's really hurting him. Plus Liverpool know how to frustrate him.
So, my halftime rant.
When Onana has the ball, Kambwala and Maguire are tasked with somehow progressing the ball. Dalot moves up into central midfield and for some reason, the only player who can progress the ball and connect defense with offense, Mainoo, is up playing near Bruno. There's no way in hell that will ever be successful. Maguire and Kambwala can't do what's being asked of them. When Mainoo does drop deeper, Liverpool take him away as an option by putting 2 or 3 players near him. The don't fear Casemiro and they know Bruno is a low percentage passer. He might pull off 1 or 2 but more than likely, he'll try a high risk ball that they'll easily take possession of.
Anyway, night and day watching Liverpool with the ball vs United with the ball. They are so fluid with it and everyone occupies the right space at the right time. United have 1 or 2 ideas that are either asking someone to do something they aren't capable of or are very low probability of working.

Can you guys find that random good half of soccer please?

To be fair I'm pretty sure Bruno loses his **** if the bagger at Tesco doesn't double bag his eggs.
You're better off putting your faith in Spurs and Villa next month.
LLLLLMMMMAAAAAOOOOO
I thought that was a screwup lol
I really need to start slagging these guys off earlier during the games
That's the playing badly out of the back goal of the year.
I'm officially a member of the Willy Kambwala fan club
That's exactly what I meant when I said good soccer
Well… you can't call this game boring at least (I could use a little more boring United games to be honest).
WTF is Maguire trying to do there?
Rashford is done.
I loved Casemiro at Real Madrid. I thought he was going to bring experience and tactics to the defense. Unfortunately RM knew exactly what they were doing. He is so washed.
Oh Mainoo that was a sweet strike
Mainoo!!!
Mainooooooooooo!!!!!
AND I'M THE PRESIDENT OF THE KOBBIE MAINOO FAN CLUB
You beautiful SOB.
30 minutes of playing from ahead. Right. Good luck with that.
And it was ****ing Casemiro who pulled off that off. Can't make it up.
I expected Casemiro to have more of a gradual drop off. He went from being probably the main reason we did well last year (along with Rashford) to being below average almost instantly.

Yup. Real Madrid knew exactly what they were doing.
Damn Casemiro.
