Moreno's air-kick.Liverpool still look pretty decent. I like how they get players between the lines then fire sharp passes into their feet. United just never do that.
Not created much at all though considering the good positions they've got into, and the defending on the goal was pretty shocking. Basically last year's side minus Suarez's pure quality up front.

Yeah could still see them mullering the poorer sides but in these games where the chances are tight he's a big miss for them

they look a much better side than they did this time last year when Suarez was suspended

Well kind of. Their defence was rock-solid this time last year, think they won their first four games 1-0. But the defence looked really dodgy against Southampton and they've let in a soft one again tonight.
It'd be a shame but I think they might need to tighten up their game a bit without Suarez, like they did this time last year.

Yeah fair. Kind of remember them being efficient and dull early on last year. So better to watch, anyway

It also wasn't just an individual error because as Neville pointed out at half time, three different players were at fault for the goal.
That second goal was a really well worked one.

Yeah but again Moreno ballsed up horribly. Let two runners into the same space in behind him.

Guess the CM to LM thing worked well with Ronaldo as he's basically a wide striker not a wide man. Could do similar with Rooney potentially?

Yeah that's not the worst solution. I still don't love it though.
I think the penny that needs to drop for United is that Rooney and RVP can't play in the same team. It's been two years and they've only ever been a very poor partnership. Once you get that out of the way, we have a lot of options tactically. Could go with a Di Maria-RVP-Januzaj front three, with Mata behind. Or you could have Di Maria as one of the front three in our 3-4-1-2, with Mata and Rooney. Or you could just pick Welbeck, who's great at playing the foil role to his strike partner. But as long as both our main strikers are considered undroppable, we don't really have any tactical options that work.

Not really, no. Ferguson was leaving Rooney out a lot by the end of that season. I think the stat is there's only been one assist between them in two years together.
By last season they were going through entire games and completing only one or two passes to each other. They both come towards the play, no one runs in behind, and it all becomes very congested.
