There's nothing more laughable in football than the twats behind the goal on a penalty thinking waving their arms a bit will put a taker off.

Are we straight to penalties? How twee.
I thought Fred would miss but that was quality.
Both keepers here are dreadful.
They are all African by the looks of things.
Good penalties once again being mistaken for useless keepers.
Jones! Haha
Gurning nonce was always going to fuck it up.
Could see from a mile away Jones was missing that.
Please sack Jose.
Some of them were good but several each could have been saved. Grant should have got to a couple.
Yeah, as soon as people like Dalot and Matic came forward you could see that a mile off. The only surprise is that he never skied it.
I was expecting Matic to send his home to Serbia to be honest.
Quite up for Lampard/Morris taking over from the chain smoking street sweeper when the time comes.
Another shit night. The past number of seasons have been a real collection of dog turds wrapped up with a couple of trophy bows.
I think it'll be Mourinho losing the dressing room rather than results/performances like that that'll get him sacked. He'll definitely be off one way or another, but would the Glazers take 4th every year if everything was 'fine'?
Yes. As long as the money is flowing all is gravy.
It is interesting to see how much better professional footballers are at penalties when there isn't much pressure on them. These early league cup rounds always have some mammoth shootouts.
United are so bad. Is Zizou going to be the binman of choice or will they go traditional and let Red Nev or Giggsy sink the shit, I mean ship?
Jones.
Send him to Syria.
I think Mourinho is doing that thing Conte did where he is just angling for the sack.
Been saying that for weeks. He wants out but doesn't want to leave his eleventy billion quid on the table.
Him going after Pogba has sullied my fpl plans. Hope he fucks off soon.
If he does want the sack it would be a bit daft since this is surely his last Big Club role. If he's as big an egomaniac as people claim (which he is), that would presumably mean more to him than any pay-off he would be in line for.
If he wants to get the sack. He should just put Pogba in goal and Phil Jones at left wing. I do that sometimes on football manager with teams i don't like. I usually end up being dismissed just after Christmas.
If he thinks the way to go about keeping the job is to alienate his only good player and pop up in the press slating anyone who misplaces a pass then he's just an idiot and should be binned anyway.
He's never come across as a full on mongo before so issues of ego aside, it makes more sense that he knows the game is over and he's trying to engineer his way out the door without having to lose out on his severance. Wouldn't surprise me to find out Woodward wants rid and is trying to stare him out to save the money.
I think Jose's calculation may be that since Manchester United stands against the immediacy of modern life, his best hope of getting Poggers into line is to create a massive diversion at an awkward time of the season.
Force the issue, so to speak. Back me or sack me.
The whole living in a hotel thing was weird from the start.
The Mignolet-Lovren-Moreno comedy roadshow is back in town tonight.
Liverpool: Mignolet, Clyne, Lovren, Matip, Moreno, Fabinho, Milner, Keita, Shaqiri, Mane, Sturridge.
We have Big Willy in goal so all bets are off.
Was confident until I saw Mingus and Moreno.
Be nice to get a proper look at Fabinho at least.
Watching the Dortmund game and they have a player called "Zagadu" or something, who must have the best chant in the history of football.
Please tell me it's Black Lace inspired.
They're not singing it, but they bloody well should be.
I’d forgot how bad Moreno is. Anytime he’s doing anything I worry.
Fabregas is running this at the minute. Looks better than Jorginho in that position.
Anderson had a quality chant to that tune when he was good. Waster.
May as well have played with 10 men. Studge hasn’t done a thing.
I'm a twit
Sturridge.
Glue factory. Now.
Jesus
Horrific from all parties.
I'd missed Fraser Aird signing for your boys, Waff. He gambled all his wages away yet?
I've never heard of this Emerson Palmieri geezer
Jesus, it wasnt even close either.
I thought the bog cleaner would favour Emerson in a back four owing to his ability to defend, but it appears full backs these days are purely attacking weapons so Alonso it is.
