Just watched the Liverpool and united game again. Yeah we played terrible, mostly due to own poor passing and not much pressing like the previous games. That could be part because of the international games and the travelling of most of our players. What I did notice is also we did not push the ball forward as much as we normally do. Most passes went sidewards or backwards. I'm not jumping on Cans back but he was mostly guilty of that, maybe still rusty from the injury layoff but that did contribute to our slow movement and stiffling our play. but once he has regained match fitness he will be back to his best, also I did read that he played with a back injury so that could also be the reason he wasn't up to pace and slow to break up play. it also shows us the importance of Adam lalana and Gigi with there speed and positional sense to keep us going forward. Positives to take out of the match? I would say we normally would lose a game like this before so a draw is better then a loss and stil keeps up only 2 points of the leaders even though we could have taken advantage of the others dropping points.

Correct me if I am wrong. What's Can good at? He is not someone who is famous for his passing. He bring his physicality to shrug of players to move forward. He was never good at passing or setting up any tempo. Moreover he is indiscipline hence Henderson is playing deeper instead of Emre Can and Wijnaldum partner him.

Should've seen how he shuffled the ball around in the box to get his shot off which was only brilliantly saved by Da Gea.

He's decent defensively could be better and also brings leadership skill. Stand and be counted.

He's just coming back from injury and hasn't had game time. Give him a while.

we looked more comfortable after the changes. I thought overall we were the better side but both sides played poorly.

Thought Can did okay, made some errors but he's not match sharp and also he's still growing a lot and learning, he wasn't the finished product before he was injured. But I rate him very highly and I like how he wants to get the ball forward a lot and credit de gea he made 2 quality saves as he usually does against pool, the sooner madrid come for him the better ;)

Lallana is not my favourite played but he really made us play better when coming on and showed why he is getting in the team. Shame about studge he just doesn't look comfortable in the system, I really want him to get going and be smashing them in but it looks unlikely atm.

A point is better than a loss but it's a bit frustrating knowing we can play a lot better and take apart the mancs, hopefully 3 points in the next game!

Sometimes I read posts and wonder who are actually Liverpool fans, my word.

When cann gets match fit he'll be a big player for us. Maybe a bit like Souness was but without the arrogance.
The thing is there's only one way of getting match fit and that is by playing gamess so maybe Klopp needs to rotate the midfielders more often.
Maybe He'll use the cups for this.

Both teams played poorly and even tho we were poor, we still created more chances than them and with some luck, could have won 2-0. I`ll take that as appositive even though we have played miles better than that in the past.

Not overly disappointed with the draw, I've seen UTD play much worse than that at anfield and come away with 3 points.

Give Can a break, he won't be the finished article at 22. His best attributes are his physicality, pace once he gets going (poor acceleration), tackling, dribbling as seen when he ran at United's defence on a few occasions including the one when he used quick feet to get past a couple of United players to create the chance and skill. His passing range is fine as shown by his lovely, inch perfect over the top ball to Sturridge.
