A few tweets from optajoe sums it up also.

19 points is Liverpool's biggest lead over United after the first 17 games of an English top-flight season (based on relevant points for a win rules)

26 points after their first 17 Premier League games is United worst points haul in the top-flight at this stage since 1990-91.

United have now conceded 29 goals in the Premier League this season; one more than they did in the entirety of the 2017/18

United well beaten as expected. Not helped by yet another daft team selected to start and subs brought on and what was Jose tactics today? The first two goal conceded is further proof of how woeful United are at defending this season, both Mane,Shaqiri left totally unmarked and given all the time in the world to score.

Can't help feeling only for Gary Neville's outburst on Sky TV Mourinho would be sacked already.

[There is zero basis to predict a hiding for United.]

Utd will get a hiding today i think. Im sure all the scouse dross who are more interested in this chat than their own will be on for weeks .

There is zero basis to predict a hiding for United.

Mourinho is more than comfortable parking his team on the edge of their own box and just sitting there closing space and heading away crosses. Even at Old Trafford last spring, United hardly gave Liverpool a sniff after the Bailly o.g., despite being completely pinned back for the last half hour. And there will be no issues of complacency on the part of the United players. Even if they think Mourinho is a complete cnut, they'll still be up for this one.

I just hope Lovren and whoever starts for Liverpool at right back are a bit better prepared for the Lukaku flick-on to the left channel which Rashford so brilliantly exploited that day at Old Trafford.

This will finish a draw or a one goal win for either win.

Have you watched United much this season? for those that haven't the best comparison is the season under Moyes when United last got a hiding off Liverpool.

Last season has little relevance now as United finished 2nd in the league and Liverpool 4th. They defended well all season a 2-1 home win v Liverpool was no surprise.

Is it plain incompetence or something worse?

Cork so a bit of both.

Jones is grand when he has a proper centre half playing alongside him. Doing it all on his own most of the time tho.

Jones wouldn't look grand alongside Bruce,Stam,Vidic,Pallister or Rio Ferdinand in their prime. Giving his all yes but his all is not enough when he's such average and error ridden defender and he's injury prone also. Such mediocrity will likely be rewarded with new contract while some of the clubs more talented players will be sold.

Lads on paper that was far from a weakened United team selected tonight. What i see for most of this season is disorganized sides with a lot of disinterested players and manager that is lost without his right hand man.

Jose biggest mistake was placing his trust in Jones. A young lad playing for reserves would have done better. United are going no further in this competition but then again i didn't expect them to get out of that group.

Assist and a goal for Phil Jones tonight. How a liability like him is still at the club after all these years is a mystery.   

CSKA bet Real Madrid 3-0 in Bernabeu tonight and that result still doesn't stop them from finishing last in the group and out of Europe.

Mane  . Should be home and hosed here.

And Alisson has just kept Liverpool in the champions league.

how did napoli win the first game. Very average side. Liverpool guranteed a clean sheet here. Should probably take off Salah and Mane and rest for Sunday.

If you watched it you wouldn't need to know how they won. Another Liverpool goal looking more likely tonight but 1-0 will be good enough anyway.

A bit odd that the top two teams in Italy have very average and former Arsenal players as first choice goalkeepers. Napoli need to come out and score now and that could give Liverpool a better chance to score 2 or 3 goals 2nd half.

Stoke City had their Christmas party over the weekend in Dublin

Did the party have some UFC?
