Name a game where Lucas and Allen have played well together.
From the 30th minute on United had no interest in keeping the ball.
It was hoof to Fellaini and hope for the best.
We didn't need a ball winner just someone who could do something with the ball.
It's just that Stevie's brain went on walkabouts again.
Can't see the 3rd one
I don't think we had that much difficulty getting the ball back. We just gave it back to them when we did.
Maybe Lucas would have kept better it than Allen, but it takes Lucas a while to get back up to speed after injury.
He doesn't have Gerrard's ability with the ball.
Suppose you're consistent on it.
Just don't praise Mario and say he owes us nothing in the same century.
He's a bad prick
Utter shock?
Don't be ridiculous.
The second half was always going to be different.
United were happy sitting back and breaking.
Lucas probably could have started and things would have been different but no one predicted that Allen would be that poor.
The second half wasn't set up for a Lucas type player.
We missed him in the first half though.
No, he shouldnt. He returned to training a few days ago. Gerrard had played vs Swansea and had a couple of weeks more training in him.
The sub was correct. Gerrard fucked up.
some of the aggro against one of our all time greats is verging on malicious mancunian drivel.
he made a mistake. he fessed up.
let's not forget the countless times he's stepped up when needed and stayed with us when he could have buggered off.

No one will. To a man everyone I've spoken with about it have moaned at what a twat he was for that 30 seconds. Everyone.
He's apologised (as he should) straight after the game too.
We all make mistakes and his happens to be in front of millions of people.
I don't think Lallana should have been taken off, he was virtually the only one creating and getting into space. Though I do think his awful miss precipitated the substitution and possibly therefore cost us the match.
Brendan Rodgers refuses to criticise Steven Gerrard
BRENDAN RODGERS refused to criticise Steven Gerrard after his red card in Liverpool’s defeat against Manchester United.
Gerrard was dismissed less than a minute after coming on as a half-time substitute in the Reds’ 2-1 defeat at Anfield, shown a straight red by referee Martin Atkinson, after stamping on United midfielder Ander Herrera.
The skipper went on television immediately after the game to apologise to teammates, manager and supporters, and accepted “full responsibility for the result.”
Rodgers praised the 34-year-old for his contrition, but stopped short of blaming his captain for the defeat.
He said: “It’s big of someone when they do get sent off to come out and apologise. But Steven was probably frustrated watching us in the first half, where we didn’t make a tackle.
“At least he was man enough to come out and make that apology, but it (the result) wasn’t just about that.
“With Steven, it was him purely wanting to make an impact. He’s made his apologies for it, and of course in a big game you suffer with 10 against 11, but it happened and it’s great respect to the players that stayed on that we kept fighting with 10 men.
Asked if the fact that it was his last game against United, and whether the taunts of the away supporters might have had an impact, Rodgers said: “You’d have to speak with Steven on that.
“He’s a highly competitive player, and he’s made a great challenge when he’s come on, which was probably our first challenge of the game.
“He wanted to help the team so much, and I won’t criticise him. He’s been brilliant in my time here, and sometimes these things happen. It doesn’t happen very often to our team, but it did today and it’s one we’ll move on from.”
Rodgers also defended Martin Skrtel amid accusations he too had deliberately stamped on a United player, this time goalkeeper David De Gea.
He said: “I didn’t see it like that. I think that it’s towards the end of the game, he’s been pushed upfield, but I don’t think he caught him with intent.
“I think he’s trying to nick the final contact on the ball, and if he does that then he probably gets a penalty, so he’s stretching.
“The ball goes into the ‘keeper’s arms, and obviously he’s caught him after that. But he’s just trying to get a toe on the ball, and if he does that and gets brought down then it’s probably a penalty.
“I didn’t think it was on purpose, at all, but obviously when the ‘keeper gets the studs like that then it can be a bit painful for him. It was a different incident, though.”
Hopefully he'll get a FIFA award for sportsmanship for saying sorry. Maybe a KBE, too.

Lallana was poor, he did two things. Get flattered by Jones - which was should have been a booking- the. Miss a sitter
Really? What did he say to him? Was it about his hair?
He was still the most creative. A mistake to sub him off ... bit obvious now of course.
