True. Another day or two out at Wembley would be great though.
I reckon we also need to have ten or so players leave. Jones, Bailly, Telles, Tuanzebe, Maguire, McTominay, Martial, Elanga, Henderson, Williams, van de Beek.
Our form since the restart...WWWWWWWDLWWWWDWDWWWWL…WDWW (also the calm down thread)
- Thread starter The Corinthian
- Start date

Mate.. The one who opened the Ten Hag's bubble thread is a very known troll here. Search his old threads. He posts such threads for joking purposes and nothing else.
Come the end of the season all that will matter is who won trophies and who has qualified for the Champions League. Who cares what Dippers think?
Every person on this forum (and those outside of it that are Utd fans, and arguably non Utd fans because my Geordie father-in-law didn't even take the piss) knows that it's not OK. But being realistic, go back in time to the summer and if somebody offered you this season's results so far after this many games, tell me you wouldn't bite their hand off.
This is a freak result, it's not reflective of our (or their) season and it needs putting in some fecking perspective before people lose their minds.
whoosh....It seemed like everything that could have gone wrong today did. In fact I think Salah's goal encapsulated that, we had two unlucky bounces that just landed straight at his feet. On another day the ball goes in the other direction. I think a large part of the blame for that can be pointed towards the schedule. If I remember correctly, the commentators during the Newcastle game said we had played something like 10 more games since the restart than Newcastle. We've had the worst fixture congestion for as long as I can remember and we were pretty much due a day like this.
Spot on OP.
This result reminded me of the 1-6 v City, in the sense that we collectively lost our heads and the scoreline ultimately flattered the opposition as we played naively in response to what happened.
We recovered well from that, and judging by what ETH has done in response to other setbacks (the Brentford, Villa, and City games) I have no doubts he'll respond just as well to this one, and use it as yet another learning experience for himself and the team.
I don't but they will, until we stuff them big time they'll go on about it
Actually looking at our remaining league fixtures they are not too bad on paper.
Spurs and Newcastle away and Chelsea at home, but a good number of home games against the lower placed teams which should enable us to get enough points for the top 4.

Im looking on the positive side i didn't think i could hate liverpool anymore than i already did, but tonight I have hit a new level. Hopefully our players are feeling the same and we get a positive reaction till the end of the season.
Nah, feck that. 7-0 is an embarrassing result against any team in any league BUT against Liverpool, it's absolutely disgraceful. This after not scoring against them in the league last season, losing 9-0 on aggregate and that was only because they stopped trying at OT after 30 minutes.
So what? You have to learn to ignore it or deal with it. You have to take the good with the bad because throughout life-- there will be good times and bad times. I've gone with the ignore option as I have turned off my phone to ignore all messages from my mates.
How much stick did United fans give Pool fans for when Gerrard slipped vs Chelsea? That slip cost Gerrard an EPL title----- this loss today cost United what? 3 points. Whoop de do. United still is in great shape for the Arsene Wenger top 4 trophy and still in it for the FA Cup and Europa League. This loss was so hilariously bad that I think I'd be more upset at losing 1-0 bc of the few decent chances United had and couldn't put away in the 1st half. Now- those missed chances didn't matter. It was just one of those days where nothing went right--- it happens all the time in life.
Nah mate. I know it's subjective and all,
but imagine something like this happening while they have Gerrad or Charrager on their team.
Let them, no-one else will care in a week's time. We'll just carry on with our pursuits of top four, Europa League and FA Cup.
Its not your losses that define you but how you respond when you loose. No point lying on the floor crying like babies. Lets get up, dust ourselves off and go again. We are still in 2 cups and top 4.
That last letter should be H. Wasn't a loss, it was abject humiliation and that's why people are upset.
Since the world cup this was their 16th game, today was our 21st game.
We have been playing every 3 days since 12/27
Eh? Is this true @rimaldo?
I know a lot want most of the team dropped for the next match but I think given it's the first team (and how poor some of the replacements are) having a game at home in a different cup is probably what we need to try get these players back mentally. I'd play most of the team anyway (maybe drop wout, and bring in garnacho or sabitzer)
Only thing you can expect is the right response and a reset from the manager after this embarrassment.
Thank you for being the voice of reason and I cannot believe so many think we can just brush this off. We are gonna kop it (excuse pun) from every team's fans now
Losing is part of the game. You can't win everything and occasionally you're gonig to have a bad day at the office but you pick yourself up and move on.
Unless you want a blood sacrifice from the players and manager.
Agreed.
But still have the chance to make this season to be mentioned for decades too by winning more trophies and start a new trophy laden era.
Extremely disappointed in the way we lost the game. But i'm upbeat about our prospects in the mid to long-term. I think with 3 or 4 new signings, we'll challenge for the league. We're on the right path and the result earlier was a bit of a freak result.
The treble is still on
The treble is still on
We have no choice but to brush this off. What's the point of crying over spilt milk? We're still third in the league and in the running for a treble.
Because it's LIVERPOOL that's why
Obviously. But we can't just sit around crying over it. We have to dust ourselves off and use it as motivation for the rest of the rest of the season to make sure we finish above them and win more trophies.
This is not just a bad day. This is our biggest loss in almost a century against our bitter rivals. People are right to be upset, and questioning the tactics and performance levels of our players in the second half is not unreasonable.
I have been hugely impressed with EtH this season, but god knows what he was thinking putting Shaw at CB when 4-0 down. Should have brought on Maguire for Bruno, taken our medicine and not shipped one of the most infamous results of our clubs entire history.
How we look back on this in 3 months depends on how we respond and end the season. How we look back on it now can only be in a hugely negative light. Anyone else thinking otherwise must be crazy in my eyes. This will hurt for a long time.

It’s not a treble, that’s a disservice to the 99 team, it’s 3 second rate trophies. Yes it’s good to win cups but it’s not anywhere near a treble. Pedantic I know but it’s a million miles from a treble.
Did people go crazy when SAF lost 6-1 at OT to fecking Balotelli and Mr. Was Goal??? I bet they did. And yet he is still the Sir Alex we all know and love. Wanting to sack Ten Hah after impressive streak of good performances, Grow up.
Superb post can't believe more can't see it
No but was same gung-ho approach we saw in that game and paid the price like in 2011
It's a treble, not the treble. I deliberately made that distinction (Pedantic I Know but the FA Cup is not a second rate trophy).
I think people need to respect that it’s perfectly fine to be absolutely appalled at the result today, and also recognize how well we have done recently. You can do both.
Exactly. Its a gung ho approach. We will learn from this.
We have done well but winning Carabao or finishing top 4 isn't making up for our worst ever performance and heaviest defeat
It's right up there with Aguero in 2012. When the 6th and 7th went in, I was burying my face in the pillow in disbelief and genuinely sick to my stomach.
This group of players and EtH have worked up quite a bit of credit in the bank, but I won't lie and say that watching that 90 mins today hasn't shaken the belief that I had gained throughout the season.
I'm not just talking about the mistakes and individually poor performances. We were going for it at 4-0 down at Anfield, trying to scrape a goal back! It was such a high degree of naivety, something I thought had gone after watching us brush off Newcastle so efficiently last weekend.
It was poor all round, and poor from EtH too. I sound like a broken record, but I can't believe that Malacia sub at 4-0. You have to swallow your pride there and say enough is enough.
Yeah I was amazed I didn't throw up at this and also buried my head into the pillow too
We will get over it.
Doubt that it's in the record books
