...and there's the eye test. He's 36 in May, reflexes aren't what they used to be, and as I said there's been a few goals this year a better keeper would have stopped. When they acquired him it should have been as a stopgap. They need an upgrade.
And Lloris has 3. The eye test is actually what I'm referring to, as Cech's gaffs have actually nothing to do with goalkeeper reflexes.

The Liverpool duo, make the wrong goalkeeping decisions, such as their common over/under committing.

Not a defenders last ditch back-pass, resulting in a wrong-footed desparate hoof, that fails.

Sometimes there are own goals where you go"Well that was harsh"...that Phil Jones own goal was not one of those times.

Probably should have been a PK on Alli there as well.

United can't deal with the pressing and the defense can't cope with Kane, Alli and Son. They are finding lanes constantly and have no problem getting into the box. They are the better team so far and it's not even close.

Feels like the Chelsea game last year for United, concede an early goal and barely in the game since. Their midfield is not very good at all.

I think United has looked good going forward and for the first 10-15 Sanchez looked good. The defence is another story.

the early goal wasn't helpful at all, but yeah, the back four hasn't looked good. Too many holes in midfield though too.

What? Not a matter of not being good. They're outnumbered.
I'm guessing Martial comes off

Mourinho sends Fellaini on, hooks him 8 mins later. Fellaini heads down the tunnel pissed off. What the hell is Jose up to?

Hahaha! Really? Well, Fellaini is usually a last resort so I imagine thats going to be an entertaining explanation.

"I asked for Falafel! Falafel! I was hungry! Not Fellaini! Falafel!"

Or presumably something along those lines.
