    It's Harry Maguire in disguise.

    Van Dijk and Trent have money on United today it seems. Now 14 games since Liverpool lead a game at half time. These powers of recovery will eventually run out.

    I think the only saviour may be that this effort United are putting in surely will tell late in the game.

    We're missing 8 first-teamers.

    The Trent and VVD criticism is great lols.

    Funny, I thought you actually knew something about football.

    Decent enough half, Liverpool have grown into the game as the half went on. Dalot has been good and competitive with Diaz, Varane is a severe upgrade on Maguire, Rashford has looked alive. I think Eriksen holds the key to keeping the ball better and potentially bringing Sancho and Elanga more into the game.

    Another nice goal. Rashford when he has no time or options once again being a much better finisher. Bring on the shot clock.

    Commentators on Sky thought it'd be off but then the line showed his foot was level with somebody's head I think? Which seems deeply lol but possibly how it's meant to actually work? I don't even pretend to know any more.

    I hate VAR and don't want offsides where centimetres are involved, so whatever, but it did look like the line they drew wasn't actually reflecting reality.

    Bringing on a DM at 2-0 down. Outstanding.

    Can't wait for Carvalho in the 85th minute.

    We aren’t really in a position to complain about injuries when three of our injured players are Matip, Chamberlain and Keita. Add Thiago to that list too. It’d be hard to reel off the names of four more injury-prone players than those four

    Firmino is done at this level. Can still come on and be near and tidy, but has no serious attacking contribution to make at the highest level.

    I don't know how anyone puts up with Bruno Fernandes. He isn't even that good a player.

    A first league defeat of the calendar year in August is not a bad record. However this is quickly trending in the wrong direction. The absence of a ball playing midfielder besides Elliott is astounding.

    Liverpool were dreadful, I thought. I can't see them getting close to City this season. They'll be battling for top 4 based on the last few games.

    It was nice to see the United players give a shit. Let's see if it continues.

    We’re playing ‘end of an era’ football in my opinion. Klopp goes on sabbatical at the end of the season. Quote me on it.

    Whatever Trent thinks he is, or is being told to do, it’s wrong. Looks more suspect defensively than ever, which is only fine if he can match that offensively.

    Gammon gammon gammon.

    Great win, best we've performed since Leeds opener of last season. Actually saw workrate and plans in set play positions. Long way to go but that was encouraging.

    Liverpool look like a team at the end of their cycle tonight. Feel a few of those players need refreshing or challenged.

    He seems to be following this new trend of moving inside like an inverted wing back when he goes forwards and it's sucking the width away from that right side and leaving it completely open for pretty much everything United had planned.

    Lol at Taz trying to use Oxlade Chamberlain being injured, which he has been for all but 6 months of his entire career as part of his injury stat.
