Only one team interested in trying to win that. Mourinho did what he came to do but f**k his teams are brutal to watch. I was never a Ferguson fan but at least his teams were entertaining.

Just shows how far United have fallen when you hear the commentators talking about how poor Liverpool were as if they were playing a championship team. United were doing nothing going forward but to hear Neville it was as if was one of the great underdog stories. De Gea had a couple of great saves as he always does against Liverpool. Great keeper.

Lallana made a massive difference when he came on. Really brought couthino into it. Can to be fair improved a lot as well. Herrera very good in first half for United.

As for Pogba... £90m?? apparently buys you one good cross a game!
I had to switch off Sky Sports and watched it on an amercian channel.Couldn't listen to Neville anymore. You would think this had been the greatest performance ever put in by a united side listening to him.

Ryan Giggs was worser. He seemed to be selling himself as a potential manager.

He should have concentrated on selling himself in the Swansea interview

QuoteSturridge really missed his opportunity yesterday. Wouldn't be surprised to see him go in January. Great striker but didn't fit the system. It needs a pressing, niggly no 9 who has quick feet around the box. When is Suarez 's contract up at Barca?.........

Shane Long?

I would like to see Danny ings get a run out against spurs next week in the league cup. Hard worker and good finisher. Only problem is that is unlikely that countinho and mane etc will all play. Ings had been scoring for fun in the u23 team but didn't even make the bench yesterday.

Read this comment on another board "if Mourinho had directed Die Hard it would have been 2 hours of Bruce Willis hiding in a cupboard with Mourinho applauding him for not getting shot"

I doubt it would be classed as a "tactical masterclass" if LVG or Moyes presided over that last night

The cost of the dung on the pitch last night should grow a lot of mushrooms !!!

I'm always amazed how many fans talk about Shane Long as an answer to their striker problems.
I know it's early days but look at his stats so far this year
Played 10, started 6, scored 0, No assists.
Compare to Charlie Austin.
Played 9, started 6, 7 goals, 1 assist.

Shane Long shouldn't be playing Premier League football. He works hard but is not a good striker.

Shit. I agree with this.

Get used to that feeling. Soon enough you'll all realise I've been right about Klopp too.

Nope. You're on your crazy own with that one.

Fully fit squad to choose from this weekend.
The United game if nothing else will hopefully prove to be good practise for the WBA game.
They'll adopt similar tactics, albeit with cheaper players and directed by a man in a silly baseball cap

Next 8 League Games

Liverpool V West Brom
Crystal Palace V Liverpool
Liverpool V Watford
Southampton V Liverpool
Liverpool V Sunderland
Bournemouth V Liverpool
Liverpool V West Ham
Middlesbrough V Liverpool

In previous years impressive results against some of the top teams would be followed by stupid dropped points against weaker teams. Liverpool will be favourite in all 8 games. 24 points is probably too much to hope for but getting close to that would be nice.
