ℹ️ @Casemiro will depart United at the end of the season, upon the expiry of his contract.
A serial winner, we thank Case for his contributions in red so far and hope to finish his time at the club on a high together 🙏🔴
citizen! at the rally you did not speak the standard greeting of “a-bosh!” but used the forbidden “baaaaaaaash” indicating support for proscribed guerrilla fighter big john you are now under arrest
Turns out sticking a back 4 on the team sheet and waffling on about some DNA doesn’t automatically improve performances or win you football matches. Who knew?
Arne Slot was understandably peeved by Liverpool’s 2-1 defeat at home to Manchester United on Sunday. He had to come up with some reasons why his team had lost when giving his post-match interviews.
What did he go for?
▪️ Missed chances from his profligate attackers?
▪️ Slack defending for both United goals?
▪️ Maybe it was just bad luck and one of those days, seeing as Cody Gakpo alone hit the woodwork three times?
Slot started his post-game interview with Sky Sports by saying: “If you play United, that comes here with a low block, playing a lot of long balls, you know it’s going to be difficult.”
According to respected data website FBref, Manchester United attempted 91 long balls at Anfield (defined in this case as a pass 30 yards or longer).
Liverpool attempted 85.
