"Why was there pressure?"

Do you really need that spelled out for you? It's been said over and over. Every single game has pressure on it for Liverpool now. Every point won is vital.

As for fucking it up for a replacement manager, it can't be any worse than the situation that was left for him.

"It's only an isolated minority."

My arse. Tens of thousands were singing that murderers filth. Even cloth-eared gits like Ollie Holt compelled to comment.

[Wooderson]

Only people I heard referring to pressure being on LFC were the "soon-to-be-Juvé" fans.

. Long may it continue. League miles better this year as a result.

A player I think would be a good signing for Man Utd is Vlaar from Villa. I have been very impressed over the last 2 seasons by both his performances but the leadership he has shown in a young and inexperienced defence. At age 29 there would be no resale value but I think they could get a good few years out of him. Any thoughts?

[Wooderson]

you are right - but it isn't all - and it does run both ways with the Munich songs. 'Orrible stuff all round.

[Wooderson]

That Utd's fans are inventing new (c2013?) hateful songs is all you need to know.

[DomDom1984]

Nothing like a good ol' fashioned witch hunt.

Well no. I always lean on the side of "people are idiots". I've seen it over and over again. I won't have a go at any team for their fans' idiocy.

It was clearly audible on the telly. That's enough for me lads. Kidding yourselves here. Surprised at normal footie fans making these mealy mouthed excuses.

So a certain indeterminate (maybe 2 people, maybe 10,000) number of fans get a pass on this? Super.

My view is that there's a huge swell of Utd's fanbase that are sickened by this. Yet there's also a huge swathe that revel in it. No "small minority" is audible on the telly lads. Cmoffit.

[DomDom1984]

The thing is, United have such a massive fanbase, that of COURSE more people will be heard. Law of averages.

imon from Dublin must be cryingS

I thought Simon and his mates were excellent. Shame about wee Davey and his team tho.

Moyes has a huge huge job on his hands.

he inherited a title winning team that lost no players of note, and has spent £65M on that team, and it's got massively worse.

Utd can think that Moyes has a huge job on his hands or Utd can think how the job can be made much easier.

If Utd get beat in the CL this week (quite likely given how poorly they're playing) then I can easily see Moyes out of a job before next weekend. I'd say it's 80%+.

nah, it's not - that's the beauty. No pressure means they can go out and perform at their (perhaps) best without worries. A higher finishing place is better, but anything above 4th is a bonus.

The pressure for Liverpool this season has been about a top 4 place and nothing more. After yesterday's games they've just about guaranteed that now, as it's difficult to see any of the lower teams being able to make a meaningful challenge for top 4 now.

So they can play with freedom and aim for the title, and have no shame if they come up short (which I suspect they will). It's as pressure-free as any team is ever likely to get.
