Excellent performance from us. Unlucky with result (again), but keep playing like that and I will be well happy.

Also shows that we are not a one man team (even though he is very good player).

MotM for me - Zouma and Lanzini, although all played well. Thought Johnson much imroved.

Unconscious bias by Referees at Anfield is nothing new, but Moss had a stinker.

Bowen's injury looked pretty bad. Can't see him back for at least 2-3 weeks even if nothing broken.

Noble's cameo a jot to watch.

I was disappointed by some of our lot dishing out abuse during the applause for Ukraine when nearly everyone else was singing YNWA.

Our away crew have got a lot worse this season. I wanted a younger crowd but some need to wise up.

Salah, arguably one of the best players in the world right now, and we pretty much marked him out of the game twice this season. :newthumb:

I have high blood pressure as it is and it was no good for me putting up with all that nonsense jokey laughing one sided bullshite. I'm a huge fan of The Beeb but the Liverpool/Chelsea/Manchester thing drives me to distraction.

I stopped just before Christmas and made a NY Res. to avoid.
I think Match of the Days biggest crime these days is it is really, really boring. It’s just painfully dull. They’ve tried to bring in dynamic, enthusiastic lads like Micah Richards to try and get the tempo up, but they all get sucked into the format.

Why would anyone want to spend 30 minutes of their Saturday evening listening to plumbs like Jermaine Jenas explaining why he’s right?

I genuinely thought we were excellent, should of scored at least a couple but I’m not going to beat us up over it. Zouma was outstanding and Lanzini(apart from his miss) bossed the midfield. We really have nothing to fear of anyone, just need that little bit of luck. Roll on Thursday ⚒

Thought we played well but were very wasteful (again) in the final third.

Him and Noble both did. Granted his final ball was just as woeful as it has been of late, but he did what he always does and gets no credit for: Show for the ball constantly, demand it, try stuff, and cover every blade of grass. One thing with Benny, he never hides.

Benrahma never stopped trying, always looked for the ball and didn't shirk his responsibilities.

He was brilliant in the opening few weeks but he has gone off the boil, nothing seems to be working. It's like he's switched wavelength from the rest of the team. Every cross is overhit, every pass into the wrong space.

It's odd. I hope he finds his mojo again.

Is that true about the plane banner? Pretty funny if it is.

Appreciate I'm a lone voice on this but I don't think the tubby ref favoured either side. Didn't fall for Salah's nonsense.

I'm really enjoying the fact,that we seem able to match,or at least give the PL/Sky Luvvies a game now,even when we are not full strength.

If you'd said earlier in the season we go to Scouse,with no Dec,Oggy,Vlad,Lose Bowen,and could have quite easily nicked it,would have
if Manes' an inch further forward...Lanza does what he should have,we win it.
Those fine lines again.

Good Battling performance,team all done well...I Know some aren't firing at mo,but still putting the effort in,that's enough sometimes.

The Diving,conning,cheating thing,has/is really spoiling the game,you sit down to watch a game,win/lose or draw,to enjoy it,but find
yourself chucking the remote around the room,or screaming out swearing in front of kiddies at a game poss,cos Salahs being shot every
10 mins.
Loved Jota Thought he was a cracking player,now wanna punch his lights out....so we ask ourselves is that a Club thing,or has he
become a nasty little cheat off his own back.
Unfortunately think ,well sure, it's a game you have to play now if you really wanna be a trophy seeking/ top 4 contender,Spuds Learnt it
Arse are lapping it up at Moment.
Want Us to Be up there,but F**k all that.

Well Done Moyes and Team...might have got beat,but was quite proud of us yesterday.

Absolutely. Unfortunately two misplaced passes and the usual were out in force. He can do better, I think his last 2 appearances have been disappointing as he’s capable of better. Again, he just needs that pass to go right or a goal and I think he’ll be back.

Thing is, if everyone is fit, who would you leave out for him?

He’s started the majority of our matches this season. So despite the fact he’s apparently ‘not a Moyes player’ it seems that Moyes is happy to start him. He hasn’t started the last 3 after having words during that substitution. He was perfectly capable at the start of the season. He’s dropped off a bit production wise, like many of the others. He’ll come good again. Unfortunately he’s become someone who people like to have a go at regardless.

I'm not having a go at him. I just think Lanzini and Fornals offer more.

I do think he might be best suited as a super-sub, brought on with 30 minutes to go (appreciate this never ever happens if Moyes can help it). If he plays well, there's no reason he can't force his way back into the team

He produced plenty when starting earlier this season, so not sure super sub is when he’s at his best. I mean Lanzini has been similar at times. Even Fornals. All of them have gone through spells of being very good and very poor. Both had chances Yesterday and didn’t score. Lanzini overall was fantastic though. Lanzini and Fornals become important when on form due to their passing. Benrahma however offers something different again to both, the issue with him Yesterday was his final ball was terrible. I’m not saying drop him for Lanzini and Fornals currently, though with Bowen out now I would probably start him, but I don’t think he deserves to be written off or some of the criticism he gets.

It's bad enough loosing to Liverpool, but if I seen our fans singing YNWA, at Anfield, that would really f*** my Saturday evening off.
