@501/IH:
It's been the best year in living memory so far for the Bayern hater. Defeat follows draw at home, they currently rank fifth (unheard of), and there is every hope that the arrogant sods will go without even proximity to any title this season. I sure hope so.
me too…
I so hope for many happy returns of causes for very major annoyance. Ha!
Hope Neuer will see to it… gotta love 'Hackfresse' !!! Made my day...

Obviously I’m biased but I’d suggest that a bicycle kick demonstrates one (all be it impressive) skill, where as Salah puts half the Everton defence on their arses with a turn and a couple if feints. Then, in addition, the finish has a superior level of accuracy and skill involved.

It's a wonderful curler and MS really left the defenders no chance before he scored. Impressive for sure. I just feel that one can see a curler way more often than an overhead kick like Bale's or CR7's against Juve for that matter. Additionally both were scored in the CL knockout stage: final and quarter-final respectively. Maybe the FIFA just wanted to award him the title for the astonishing but titleless season he's had.

But why in the world would you not start Pogba and Sanchez in that game?! I officially question Mourinhos sanity at this point.
Edit; Sanchez was still injured, just realized.

@manufc10 it is really weird. Not gloating from my side at all, but he does seem intent on sucking all the fun out of Utd's football. They looked like a team from another club playing in the wrong jerseys.
Couldn't agree more, he needs to go. We look beyond uninspired. Sure he isn't the only problem (a sub par back line for one) but we are completely lost at this point. We didn't deserve to get out of Anfield with a 1-1 draw and it would have been a complete injustice to Liverpool if we did. I don't care if both of Shakiri's goals were deflections the win was a deserved one.
With that being said though…shouldn't the first "goal" by ManUtd have been allowed? I saw the replay several times and it didn't look like Lukaku touched that ball in his offside position...I could be wrong. Also, one positive note for us is that Lindelof did a great job marking Salah.
-
He didn't touch it but he went to play it and that means he's offside.
Salah was kept quiet but it's the same affect that Suarez, CR7 and Bergkamp used to have. They effectively occupy a defender for the whole game leaving others to roam. It's one of the reasons Shaq had so much space between the lines when he came in.
My feeling is that the actual problem at Utd is the reason why Mourinho is still there at all, the Glazers are uninterested in the development of the club. José is a big name manager doing a very mediocre job and with one or two big name, big money signings but no room to build a team. The Glazers seem happy with that and with the cash they can rake in from the brand, without the team having any real chance of success or forward momentum.
