Looks like rain, dear: Carabao Cup 2018-19

[Amor de Cosmos]

Down 2-0 now, with ten men. There's something going on. We aren't a physical, never mind dirty, team. Committing 20+ fouls and picking up a slew of cards isn't what this team does. There's a reason, I'm just not sure what it is and it's worrying.

[Kevin S]

Phew.

[Snake Plissken]

Can we just withdraw from the competition in the future? Third year in a row losing to lower league opponents.

[Snake Plissken]

Actually, it’s the fifth.

[Diable Rouge]

Actually, it’s the fifth.

You could be AdC - I believe QPR haven't won a third-round FA Cup tie first time round this millennium?

[Diable Rouge]

My apologies to any Derby fans we have here.

[The-Reverend]

My apologies to any Derby fans we have here.

Seriously, we're all cock-a-hoop at the moment, it's refreshing to go away to a 'big team' and actually have a go which we didn't do under Clement, Pearson or Rowett.

[Toby Gymshorts]

Ah, Phil Jones.

I will, however, save the hubris. I can't see Liverpool getting much out of their next two games.

Oh, and well done to Derby. Excellent penalties and a battling performance.

[delicatemoth]

Well in, Darbeh!

[EIM]

Fuck me that was bad. An absolute shambles until we lost a man and went long to Fellaini and Lukaku, at which point it became a circus. The bit where Jones and Bailly took it in turns to slice the ball 100ft in the air was the worst thing to happen to the club since, well, since before the Glazers at any rate.

Did anyone expect Jones to score? Anyone? Half the Stretford End were leaving when he stepped up.

Some positives:

My United pie wasn't burnt for the first time since last season
The trams were empty
I don't have to pay £30 for tickets to game sI don't really want to go to any more
I'm really struggling here

[Nefertiti2]

more positives;

Mourinho will leave soon and then the Berbaslug analyses of Man United games will return

[EIM]

Ah yes. Analysis based on real events.

[That Night In Barcelona]

Can't wait for the person whose entire experience of the sport is passively watching it on a screen to post a long message on here about how he has won his club back from the man who is rude in press conferences.

[Toby Gymshorts]

Liverpool have an official lubricant partner. No idea what to make of that, really.

Yes, I am watching the hoardings as it's more entertaining than the actual game, which seems to be a comedy of errors so far.

EDIT: Just as Keita has a good shot saved, and Liverpool do nowt with the resulting corner.

[Toby Gymshorts]

That is piss poor. Again.

[Toby Gymshorts]

Yep, that'll do it.

[Ray de Galles]

That was almost as if Hazard was saying “If you think Salah’s was the goal of the season, watch this!”.

[Hot Orange]

Macclesfield with a bit to do in the last 10.

[Toby Gymshorts]

Jordan Henderson does not like Eden Hazard. Or, at least, his habit of falling over under clumsy, lunging challenges.

[Ray de Galles]

Are the Liverpool supporters booing Moses? If so, is it something he’s done in this game (I only turned it on twenty minutes ago) as I can’t see what complaints they’d have about his loan spell there?

[Toby Gymshorts]

Anyway, that's game #1 of 2 I'm expecting nowt from. Although I will take a scrappy away win on Saturday over that.

[hobbes]

He made two hilariously awful mistakes that lead to two goals that put us out of both cup competitions, if I remember rightly.

Liverpool certainly pissed that away (with some help from the ref.)

[Gerontophile]

Can't find the Spanish thread, so, Leganes beat Barcelona 2-1, and currently Sevilla are leading Real Madrid 3-0, with 40 minutes gone.

[Kevin S]

There isn't a Spanish thread - closest thing is that game 39 thread.

[Janik]

Hazard's goal was truly sublime, wasn't it? Utterly perfect in it's skill. No lucky bobble involved, no obvious terrible mistake from defender or 'keeper to aid it, just sheer class to score a late winning goal against a previously unbeaten outfit.
