What a run and great finish. Jota just broke so quickly and Dias with a great finish.

Good counter attack to be fair.
Great goal that to be fair
The difference between that counter and ours yesterday 
13th minute. No missed sitter but a goal from a counter
Bloody Dutch manager needs to stop with the counter-attacking plays 
The goal Diaz just scored is one that Rashford is utterly incapable of scoring.
So predictably depressing isn’t it?
That was a great break tbf
It was decisive. Too often we go on the break and then stop. The whole point of a break is to catch the defence upfield.The difference between that counter and ours yesterday
Jota's annoyingly good.
I thought ill turn it on as its 0-0 every time I do that they score as soon as I start watching.

Honestly for all the talks about tactics etc a lot of these teams just have better players than us. You compare their attackers in ability and mindset with ours and its just night and day. Someone like Diaz or Jota (not even mentioning Salah) vs Rashford, Garnacho, Amad. Its no competition.
Would have put money on them to score from their first shot on target, They have done that so often under Klopp and now continuing that trend under his bald replacement.
He is.
The ref on VAR is the incompetent ref I am talking about
When did Brighton leave themselves that exposed yesterday?The difference between that counter and ours yesterday
Cause they are a better coached team, getting the best out of their personnel
Yep, we have to wait for the Youngsters to have a breakthrough and kick on or invest when an opportunity arises, but overinvestment in unproductive senior pros will hamper us for a while yet
The one thing that is clearly evident is how hard work some teams are.
Around 10minutes when Brentford countered, every Liverpool player seemed to bust a gut to get back.
Withus, Rashford would just stands, hands on hips.
Bruno would have been on the floor holding his ankle.
And all the other forward players would have been bewildered why we conceded, stood 40yrds from goal as they jogged back at best

Watching with Liverpool supporting inlaw and said the same thing. Noone plays that open against us.
Everyone plays a low block against us because they don't have to commit that many forward. Our back line will gift enough easy chances during a game.
I notice how Mainoo always seems to escape this - despite the fact that I have never seen Mainoo sprint back
Just utterly depressing how far away from at least 4 teams in the league and can possibly go up to 6
Couple of times but our wingers let us down big time with poor positioning, control, finishing and so on. Also don't forget the disallowed goal. Tactically we were ok for most of the game, but if your attackers are giving 4 or 5/10 performances...
My biggest complaint is not even the difference in quality. My biggest complaint is the difference in work rate. Rashford is inferior player with inferior work rate. Their most productive player Salah works harder than him. Let alone Jota/Diaz etc. Garnacho and Amad are better but still not the same level of hard work as Jota/Diaz imo.
Where's Salah's hair?
There was a similar break on yesterday with Amad and Rashford.
Amad didn't make the pass and it came to nothing
To be fair. He’s including in this.
By forward players, I mean everyone advanced.
They’re all the same. Just can’t be arsed when it’s too much effort
I do but it's like he's running in treacle. Now imagine both your midfielders running like that when defending a breakaway.
Offside
I was hoping the change in manager might affect them for a season... it seems some clubs can identify the right guy pretty quickly
Because his teammates would have messed up the pass to him?
These threads are insufferable after a loss. Every second comment is a negative comparison with United and a whole lot of confirmation bias.
People saying clubs don’t play this open against us.
It’s not the opposition. It’s us.
Do you need see how Liverpool players flood forward. Pace and intensity, two things we lack

feck the scousers and feck slot.
There's a lot of the season left but to me there's 4 teams clearly better than us City, Arsenal, Liverpool and Spurs. Remains to be seen about Villa, Chelsea and Newcastle
When we went 3 v 2 and Amad delayed the pass and Rashford couldn't time his run.
Exactly, it’s fecking pathetic. Wish people would give it a fecking rest.
