Haven’t seen the game yet but going by your comments I’m not sure if I want to
Unfortunate, especially as City have completely dominated their game going by the score. Still early days, but we can’t fall into last year’s draw routine

Still early days, but we can’t fall into last year’s draw routine in our defence, one is stoke, one is liverpool. and they played at home also. Not really trying to make excuses but their is a world of difference. |

My problem with the tactics was he went into his portugese tony pulis mode.
All we did was defend, granted it is liverpool away (just about the hardest fixture we'll have whole year, aside from the man city away game) but being that piss poor with those tactics.
This was honestly Lukaku's first bad game also, i think he didn't look likely but i think that was due to the lack of creativity also.
Wish Mourinho would back his teams and not play this ultra-defensive bullshit, if we wanted an ultra defensive manager we could have gotten Tony Pulis for cheaper.

Lukaku didn't play bad, but he wasn't given the support by our midfield players. I can't say that I blame him. Overall, although I hate to admit it, a draw is a good result with all the injuries to the midfield. Not many teams will be able to get that at Anfield. |

We simply parked the bus. |
